1. WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS

Mayor Myers, Chair of the Administrative Committee, called the meeting to order at 8:55 a.m. and welcomed

Administrative Committee members. Introductions were made around the room.

ITEMS FOR APPROVAL

2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES (SEEKING APPROVAL)

Mayor Dennis Buckley moved to approve the July 26th, 2019 minutes as presented.

Gary Pool seconded the motion.

The minutes of the July 26th, 2019 IRTC Administrative Committee Meeting were approved.

3. SECTION 5307 GRANT FUND SPLIT (RES. #19-IMPO-14)

Anna Gremling provided background on why CIRTA was requesting a fund split. She wants the IRTC members to

review this letter before submission.

Annie Dixon introduced CIRTA and discussed their role as a transportation coordination organization for the region as

well as various transportation services CIRTA provides. She went on to explain historical spending of 5307 funds by

CIRTA and that they are requesting $235,000 in 5307 funds for Federal Fiscal Year 2019. The proposed activities that

would be covered with these funds include Planning ($30,000), Operations Assistance ($80,000), and Mobility

Management ($125,000).

Ehren Bingaman answered questions about long-term funding plans for the organization. He said CIRTA is relying

on CMAQ, partnership, and philanthropy funding in addition to 5307. He also assured the committee that they are

actively working to fill positions that have recently been vacated. Members of the committee expressed their inability

to explain the benefits that CIRTA provides to their communities. Bingaman acknowledged that CIRTA needs to

reach out to communities more and explain what they provide, which will increase local funds for services.

Dan Parker explained that the City of Indianapolis has chosen not to contribute to CIRTA and instead focus their

resources on investing in IndyGo. He also expressed concern over not having access to a long-term plan for funding

and operations. All IRTC members agreed that Mobility Management is still an important function for the region.

Item 2

Page 2 of 3

The committee expressed worry over not being provided a copy of the Gifford report created by CIRTA. The report

interviewed stakeholders and analyzed current conditions. Bingaman said he had never seen it, but that the executive

committee will convene to provide the report to the IRTC.

Gary Pool moved to recommend to IRTC Policy a revised Split Letter that requested $125,000 of 5307 funds for

Mobility Management. He also recommended tabling the other two activities and re-evaluating after six months.

Dan Parker seconded the motion.

The IRTC Administrative Committee recommended approving a revised Split Letter that requested the amount of 5307

funds for Mobility Management would move forward to the IRTC Policy Committee for approval and tabling the other

two activities.

4. FEDERAL EXCHANGE (RES. #19-MPO-013)

Anna Gremling discussed the background of the federal funding swap program that INDOT is offering the

Indianapolis MPO. She said that as of now, INDOT requires the IRTC to pass a resolution for the board to create an

exploratory committee and a tentative deadline for the December joint meeting on a rough agreement. This committee

would examine the benefits of the swap, as well as any increased operational costs for the MPO.

Craig Parks moved to recommend approval of Resolution #19-MPO-013.

Dan Parker seconded the motion.

The IRTC Administrative Committee recommended approving Resolution #19-IMPO-013.

STATUS REPORTS

5. HUMAN RESOURCES MANUAL AND COMPENSATION UPDATE

Anna Gremling explained that the MPO is losing staff due to lower wages. As a result, there is a high turnover with

staff. The MPO hired Gregory and Appel to examine the human resources and pay scales of other MPOs and

governmental organizations. The new pay scale was shown to the committee members. Other benefits that were

proposed include core work hours, paid parental / family leave time, telecommuting, cell phone reimbursement, and

performance-based raises. The next steps will be to determine health benefits and adopt a complete human resources

manual in early 2020.

6. REGIONAL LEGISLATION

Anna Gremling announced that she and Sean Northup will be testifying to state representatives on regional

legislation to get out of the Regional Development Authority designation more quickly. The interview will happen on

September 30th at 9:30.

7. DIRECTOR’S UPDATE

• CEDS

o Anna Gremling announced that the MPO had submitted a grant for $30,000 and requires a $30,000 local

match. After these resources are secured, the MPO can submit to EDA for a $60,000 grant. Mayor Andy

Cook asked why the MPO isn’t using the last document that was created for regional economic

development a few years ago. Gremling said that the MPO will be using as much of that document as

possible when writing the new CEDS document.

• Land Use Along Bus Rapid Transit Routes

o Anna Gremling announced that the MPO will begin providing more support to the City of Indianapolis’

planning staff by providing letters for planning cases along existing and future bus rapid transit lines that

may not be conducive to transit. Inez Evans highlighted the importance of getting ready for upcoming

development while IndyGo continues to plan the Purple and Blue Lines.

Item 2

Page 3 of 3

• TIP Project Increase Requests / Project Bubble List

o Anna Gremling announced the City of Indianapolis is requesting an increase of $485,000 for the 79th

Street and Dean Road intersection project. The city has chosen to install a roundabout instead of a

standard intersection. Two projects amounting to $9.5 million are going to be pushed back to 2021:

▪ 146th Street (Hamilton County), allowing an existing homeowner in the project area additional

time to construct a new home; and,

▪ Lower Fall Creek (Indianapolis), reasons unknown.

Due to the delays of these projects, Gremling assured that all projects on the bubble list will be funded.

A RESOLUTION amending the 2020 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP),

adding an amount of $23,690, and granting authority to enter into a grant agreement with the

Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).

WHEREAS, the City of Indianapolis, Department of Metropolitan Development is

the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (Planning Agency) with the responsibility

of providing for the continuing, cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning

process for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area; and

WHEREAS, the Joint Planning Regulations issued by Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) require a UPWP for

Transportation Planning; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Agency has entered into an agreement with the Indiana

Department of Transportation (INDOT) for undertaking a UPWP for federal financial

assistance for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area; and

WHEREAS, the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Statewide MPO Council

elected to distribute the SFY 2020 discretionary pool of funds, adding $18,952 of feral

planning funds to the Indianapolis planning area, to be matched in 2021 dues in the amount

of $4,738, totaling $23,690; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Indianapolis Metropolitan

Planning Organization’s 2020 UPWP for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area will

Memo

To: IRTC Committee Members

From: Anna M. Gremling

Date: 11/27/19

Re: Household Travel Survey

Understanding where people are going to and from has always been critical to transportation planning and underpins

any reasonable analysis and forecast of whether travelers would adopt a new travel behavior (e.g., switch modes or

pay a toll) in a given corridor. Similarly, understanding traveler’s biases for and against various modes and the

frequency with which and time of day that they undertake various activities is also crucial to understanding the likely

effectiveness of various transportation policies and investments.

Over the coming decade these fundamental patterns are likely to change more than they have during the lifetime of

the generations now living. The substitution of home delivery for shopping is already beginning to fundamentally

change travel patterns. Transportation network companies (TNCs) such as Uber, Lyft, and BlueIndy are also growing

in mode share and stand to have greater impacts still as they affect automobile ownership in the long run. Ultimately,

entirely new technologies and modes including Completely Automated Vehicles (CAVs) and urban air taxis such as

Uber.

The importance of understanding travel patterns and behavior will therefore be more critical in coming years than

ever before. The MPO will need to make real investments to obtain and maintain current information on how travel is

evolving in the Indianapolis region.

The recommendation given in the Data, Analytics and Modeling Plan is to collect an initial Household Travel Survey of

4,000 to 4,500 households and a similar survey of between 2,000 and 2,500 households every two years thereafter. I

am requesting authorization to flex $1.25M from the 2025 Call for Projects to accommodate this data need. This would

require $250,000 local match over and above the standard population dues. To lighten the impact to communities, we

would suggest breaking up the local match in 2021 & 2022 dues. MPO staff would work within the Transportation

Improvement program to move the project up, should there be gaps or flexibility in the program.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] me at 317.327.5487

Item 4a



POLICY COMMITTEE


A RESOLUTION authorizing the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization (IMPO) to utilize

$1.25 million of Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds from the MPO’s 2025 annual

allocation to fund a household travel survey within the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area.

WHEREAS, the IMPO completed its regional Data Analytics and Modeling Plan in 2018;

and

WHEREAS, the IMPO seeks to flex $1.25 million of STBG funds from the MPO’s 2025

annual allocation to the 2020 UPWP to fund a household travel survey within the Indianapolis

Metropolitan Planning Area; and

WHEREAS, $250,000 of local funds will be needed to match the $1.25 million of STBG

funds; and

WHEREAS, the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Council (IRTC) Policy Committee is

the approval body for all transportation-related activities of the Metropolitan Planning

Organization for the Indianapolis Urbanized Area under applicable U.S. Department of

Transportation regulations;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The IRTC Policy Committee hereby

authorizes the IMPO to utilize $1.25 million of STBG funds from the 2025 MPO’s annual allocation

to fund a household travel survey within the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area.

The IRTC Policy Committee adopted the above and foregoing resolution this day of 2019.

Memo

To: IRTC Committees

From: Jennifer Dunn

Date: 11/25/2019

Re: Safety (PM-1) 2020 Targets

This memorandum presents the INDOT Safety (PM-1) 2020 Targets

Background

Safety Performance Management is part of the overall Transportation Performance Management program (TPM). The Safety PM Final Rule supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as it establishes safety performance measure requirements for the purpose of carrying out the HSIP and to assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The HSIP Final Rule updates the existing HSIP requirements under 23 CFR 924 to be consistent with the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

Safety Performance Measures (effective date April 14, 2016)

Measure Metric Limits

Number of Fatalities 5 Year Rolling Average All Public Roads

Number of Serious Injuries 5 Year Rolling Average All Public Roads

Rate of Fatalities Per 100 Million VMT 5 Year Rolling Average All Public Roads

Rate of Serious Injuries Per 100 Million VMT 5 Year Rolling Average All Public Roads

Number of Non-Motorized Serious Injuries 5 Year Rolling Average All Public Roads

Item 5a

Page 2

Target Setting

• The Safety Performance Measures have an annual target setting requirement

• INDOT has set their 2020 Safety Targets and reported them to FHWA in September

• MPOs must either support the State Safety Targets or set their own targets by February of 2020

• IRTC voted to support the State Safety Targets for 2018 and 2019

Projected Numbers

Estimated Serious Injuries due to a reporting change in ARIES Bolded Numbers – 2020 INDOT SafetyTargets

Due to a change in ARIES reporting of Serious Injuries in 2014, INDOT used 7.2% of all Injuries for motor vehicle crashes and 13% of all injuries for non-motorist injuries for their estimate of “Serious Injuries” from 2014 on.

Item 5a

Rate of Fatalities (per 100 million VMT) 1.097

Rate of Serious Injuries (per 100 million VMT) 4.178

Number of Non-Motorized Serious Injuries 405.9

Significant Progress

The agency has met or made “Significant Progress” toward meeting its targets when at least four of the five performance targets are met or the measure has improved from its baseline. We now have actual numbers from 2018 that we can compare to the targets too see if the criteria for “Significant Progress” have been met. FHWA will make an official determination in January of 2020 but it looks like INDOT will meet the criteria of “Significant Progress”. Indiana failed to meet the target for fatalities but the other 4 targets were met.

Recommendations

The Indianapolis MPO staff are recommending that we support the INDOT 2020 Safety Targets. This recommendation is based on the following: continued concern over the spatial accuracy of the crash records and the redefinition of what constitutes a “Serious Injury” crash that occurred in 2014. Because the target is based on a 5-year rolling average we would like to have more actual numbers to base our projections on. We also believe the INDOT 2020 Safety Targets to be reasonable and it is encouraging that “Significant Progress” was met for the INDOT 2020 Safety Targets.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to call me at 317-327-5495 or email me [email protected].
