Metropolitan Transportation Plan 2040 Project Nomination Our area receives funding in the Surface Transportation Plan <200k federal funding category through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). These transportation improvement funds can be spent on our federal aid designated roadways. However, there are local matching funds required for these projects. Before completing a Project Call Form, first verify that the facility is eligible to receive funding. A facility context map from the Master Street Plan is included for your reference. Remember that facilities in the local street network (consisting of residential and neighborhood streets) are not eligible. Once eligibility has been verified, complete the Project Call Form making sure to be as specific as you can regarding the basic information required. *Please note that all current MTP/TIP projects will be automatically included and analyzed in the new MTP, so project sheets are not required for these items.

Basic information is required with each project submission and is listed below:

Project Name Project Description (what type of improvement) Project Limits (from where to where) An estimated project cost (including ROW, Utilities, Engineering and Construction) Purpose and Need (what will the project accomplish and why is it needed. Submitting agencies are

encouraged to address the ranking criteria identified below.) A signature from a ranking public official endorsing that the project is being submitted by the public

agency and local matching funds will be available to support the project. Project Ranking Policy In general, the projects will be ranked based on the 14 criteria below. A detailed explanation of each criteria is included for your reference.

Improve Safety Improve Security Protect the Environment Reduce Congestion Promote Efficiency Support Economic Development Goals Support Land Use Goals Increase Connections Improve Access Connect Modes of Travel Conserve Energy Increase Multi-modal Options Preserve Right-of-Ways Improve Quality of Life

The MPO is also working with our state partners to ensure that all of the TxDOT funded projects are included in the MTP Update. Once all projects have been collected, the MPO Technical Advisory Committee will assist in ranking these projects.

Description of criteria for ranking transportation improvement projects

Improve Safety. Safety is defined as protection against unintentional harm and relates to both motorized and nonmotorized modes of travel. Examples of improved safety could be: a reduction in the number of automobile crashes involving personal injury; or improved operations of an emergency counter flow plan on major roadways in the area in response to a hurricane.

Improve Security. Security is defined as protection against intentional harm and relates to both motorized and nonmotorized modes of travel. Examples of improved safety could be: a reduction of the risk of individual acts of criminal behavior on a transit line; improvement in the emergency response capacity after an act of terrorism.

Protect the Environment. Methods for protecting the environment are as unique as the local environments that they serve. Therefore, Examples of ways in which a transportation system can impact the environment are myriad. Examples of ways to protect the environment are: not building roads in environmentally sensitive areas; or building projects that reduce idling time by big trucks.

Reduce Congestion. Congestion is defined as a roadway system operating at speeds below that for which it was designed. Examples of ways in which congestion could be reduced are: the addition of turning lanes; or improvements to signalization.

Promote Efficiency. Efficiency is promoted by improved system management, the preservation of the existing transportation system, and the reduction in costs. Examples of the promotion of efficiency in the transportation system could be: improvement in the operations and management of the system; or, institution of a regular repair and maintenance program.

Support Economic Development Goals. The economic development goals of the community are defined by the economic development plans of the local jurisdictions and can be impacted by many factors, one of which is the transportation system. Examples of ways in which the Economic Development Goals of the community could be met: providing pedestrian amenities along a business corridor; or improving the efficiency of freight movement to and from a port.

Support Land Use Goals. The Land Use Goals of the community are defined by the planning and zoning ordinances and land use plans of the local jurisdictions and through the public visioning process. Examples of ways that the Land Use Goals of the community could be supported are: not building new roads into areas prone to flooding; or, providing lanes for non-motorized travel.

Increase Connections. The connectivity of the streets network and circulation system is measured through the ease by which people and goods can move to their desired destinations. Connectivity relates not only to the ease of movement of people and goods within the community, but also to external destinations – regional, national and international. Examples of ways in which connections could be increased are: adding bridges across water barriers; or adding bike and pedestrian paths from neighborhoods to schools that do not necessitate crossing a major arterial.

Improve Access. Improving access involves control and management of the entrance and exit points to a transportation facility for people and freight. Increasing the number of access points does not necessarily improve access. Improved access is based on a balance between the number of access points and the efficient movement of traffic through the transportation facility. Examples of ways in which access could be improved are: a reduction in the number of driveways that enter a major arterial; or, development of a hierarchical master street plan that designs roads based on use.

Connect Modes of Travel. The various modes of travel within the community function best when people and goods can easily move from one mode of travel to another. This intermodal connectivity is often facilitated by intermodal transfer terminals. An example of connecting modes of travel is bike racks on buses.

Conserve Energy. Energy conservation has become a national priority in recent years and the transportation sector uses the largest portion of energy consumed in the US. Examples of ways in which this reduction could be achieved includes: a reduction in the use of single occupancy vehicles; an increase in the use of non-motorized modes of travel.

Increase Multi-modal Options. Increasing multi-modal options for the movement of people and goods creates choice. In order for people to choose to use a more energy efficient mode of travel, there has to be more than one mode of travel available. Examples of ways in which multi-modal options could be increased are: expansion of the fixed route transit system into previously unserved areas; an increase in the number of streets with sidewalks; or, an increase in intermodal freight transfer facilities.

Preserve Right-of-Ways. Preservation of right-of-ways refers to purchasing land before development occurs in anticipation of future expansion of the transportation system. Examples of ways in which right-of-ways could be preserved are: the purchase of enough land to build a four lane highway even though the current plans only call for the construction of a two lane facility; the purchase of land at points along an interstate where future entrances are planned, but where no development currently exists.

Improve Quality of Life. The quality of life of a community is a term that the community must define for itself. The transportation system can have both positive and negative impacts on the quality of life in a community. Examples of ways that a transportation system could have a positive impact on the quality of life are: a reduction in mobility gaps experienced by low-income communities; or, a reduction in the time that families spend commuting to school and work. Examples of ways that the transportation system can have a negative impact on the quality of life in a community are: addition of access points to a neighborhood that encourages through traffic that endangers children at play; or widening of roadways to improve port access that also encourages truck traffic carrying hazardous materials through residential neighborhoods.

I. INTRODUCTION - The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is a transportation planning work program developed by the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to coordinate transportation and related planning activities for a cooperative, continuing and comprehensive planning process. In 1962, The United States Congress passed the Federal Highway Act, which required the creation of Metropolitan Planning Organizations in areas with 50,000 or more population. As a result, in 1974, the City of Tyler was designated as the Tyler Urban Transportation Study MPO, which has evolved into what is known today as the Tyler Area MPO. In 1991, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) was signed into law. The act required the MPO to produce a long range plan every five years with a minimum planning horizon of 20 years, known as the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. In 1998, the surface transportation bill was updated and renamed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). In 2005, the MPO was required to consider the current surface transportation authorizing legislation passed in 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). MAP-21, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (P.L. 112-141), was signed into law by President Obama on July 6, 2012. Funding surface transportation programs at over $105 billion for fiscal years (FY) 2013 and 2014, MAP-21 is the first long-term highway authorization bill enacted since 2005. MAP-21 was the basis for developing this UPWP. The Tyler Area MPO is again preparing a two-year UPWP as opposed to a one-year document. Although there are benefits to preparing a two-year program, it must also be understood that there may need to be more amendments than previously required for a one-year program. The primary objective of the UPWP is the development of an integrated planning program that considers the planning activities of each modal group such as cars, freight, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians and coordinates these activities to produce a total transportation plan serving all segments of the population. The UPWP presents the budget and work tasks necessary to accomplish and maintain the transportation planning process within the Tyler Area MPO Study Area.

A. PURPOSE - The FY 2014-2015 UPWP is intended to describe the transportation related planning activities scheduled to be performed in FY 2014 and FY 2015. These are the tasks to be undertaken using Federal Planning Assistance Funds. The administrative projects included in this work program are mandated in MAP-21. These projects comprise the primary mission of the MPO to provide local governments with access to the transportation planning process. Under MAP-21 the MPO must consider projects and strategies that will meet the following eight factors:

2

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency.

2. Increase safety of transportation systems for motorized and

non-motorized users.

3. Increase security of transportation systems for motorized and non-motorized users.

4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available for

freight and people.

5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve the quality of life.

6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation

system across and between modes for people and freight.

7. Promote efficient system management and operation.

The Policy Committee adopts a new or revised UPWP in an open public meeting. Before a public meeting is held on the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) or Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) adoptions or revisions, notices are mailed to special interest groups and to individuals interested in transportation planning. Meeting notices and agendas as well as press releases for all public meetings are distributed to the news media in the Tyler area. Certified notices and agendas are posted at the Tyler City Hall, Tyler Public Library, Tyler Development Center and at the Smith County Court House. In order to comply with Environmental Justice (EJ) public involvement policies, public-meeting notices are mailed out to minority and low-income media and community leaders.

B. DEFINITION OF AREA - Currently, the Tyler Metropolitan Planning Area, (see Appendix B), encompasses the entire urbanized area defined in the 2010 Census. It includes the immediate and contiguous urban area surrounding the City of Tyler most likely to experience urban development and expected to be urbanized within 20 years. This area includes the cities of Tyler, Lindale, New Chapel Hill, Noonday, Whitehouse, Hideaway and

3

Bullard. The study area is primarily located within Smith County with minor areas possible in Henderson (Chandler) and Cherokee (Bullard) counties.

C. ORGANIZATION - The City of Tyler serves as the fiscal agent for the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Governor designates the MPO for all urban areas that have a population over 50,000. The City of Tyler is the designated MPO for the Tyler urban area and uses the committee structure established pursuant to Section 134 of Chapter 1 of Title 23 U.S.C as the group responsible for giving the Metropolitan Planning Organization overall transportation policy guidance. The MPO, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is responsible for carrying out the urban transportation process. The MPO provides continuity of various transportation planning and improvement efforts throughout the Tyler urban area. The Tyler Area MPO consists principally of two standing committees: the Policy Committee and the Technical Advisory Committee.

The MPO Policy Committee: The Policy Committee is composed of the principal elected and appointed officials in the Tyler/Smith County area with possible membership for Bullard and Chandler. The Tyler Area MPO will amend the UPWP when that occurs. The by-laws will be updated to reflect current membership when the membership formally changes. The Policy Committee biennially approves the UPWP and develops the transportation planning process in the Tyler urban area. The Policy Committee consists of eleven (11) voting members. Representation of the Policy Committee is shown in Appendix A.

The MPO Technical Advisory Committee: The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is comprised of a cross section of individuals with knowledge and expertise in various transportation fields. The TAC formulates the procedural details of the work program. It reviews and monitors the output of the various MPO activities identified in the work program and makes recommendations to the policy committee. The TAC is also responsible for assisting in developing the short and long-range transportation plans and informing the Policy Committee of various aspects of transportation planning in the Tyler urban area.

D. PRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT - The MPO plans to hire a consultant

to perform the following subtasks: 1. Participate in county-wide aerial photography project (Task 2.3) 2. Metropolitan Transportation Plan 2014-2040 Update (Task 4.1)

E. PLANNING ISSUES AND EMPHASIS – The major transportation issues being addressed in this work program is the five year update to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

The Tyler area has been declared in attainment and is expected to remain so for the timeframe of this UPWP.

The East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG) recently concluded an

East Texas Transportation Coordination Plan. The plan covers the 14 counties contained within ETCOG.

The Tyler Area MPO Executive Director serves as the chair a member of

the Steering Committee known as EasTexConnects. The Plan was adopted in 2011 and contains six priorities:

People first, barrier-free;

Multi-modal interconnectivity across the region;

Aggressive outreach and education to a broad base;

Increased and flexible funding;

Increased and expanded services; and

Emergency planning and homeland security.

III. TASK 2.0 - DATA DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE

A. OBJECTIVE - To create, update, and maintain spatial information, demographic data and analysis to support planning efforts. To monitor and identify development trends in the study area in an effort to determine their impact on the area’s transportation system. To analyze the data for travel demand model activities

B. EXPECTED PRODUCTS - Continue to update and maintain the GIS database for data that the MPO utilizes for the planning process. Continue to develop and maintain applications to streamline land development services for eventual use in the transportation planning process in the development of transportation forecasts and analysis. Maintain a complete database of consistent addresses throughout the Study Area. Integrate TxDOT traffic counts into the appropriate GIS database.

C. PREVIOUS WORK – The Policy Committee discussed expanding the

current boundaries of the Metropolitan Planning Organization to include all areas within Smith County. This was in response to language in the Federal Transportation Reauthorization Bill that would eliminate all Metropolitan Planning Organizations whose population is less than 200,000. Ultimately, this was not adopted by the Policy Committee as MAP-21 kept MPO’s under 200,000 in population intact. This subtask is accomplished by a full time GIS employee who maintains the GIS databases for the Tyler Area MPO. The mapping allows demographic data to be analyzed and population and transportation trends to be recognized and studied. Further, any maps needed for plans for review are created by this position. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program benefitted from this activity. The aerial photography is obtained through a contract with consultant, Stewart GeoTechnologies, Inc., and is an ongoing project. The aerial consortium is made up of Tyler Area MPO, 911, Smith County Appraisal District and Smith County with each entity currently contributing equally. The MPO contributed $20,000 towards the project during this fiscal year. In the future, the Tyler Area MPO will participate in the countywide project at approximately $25,000 annually to facilitate biennial mapping.
