General Overview of the TIP Thetransportationsysteminametropolitanplanningarea isvital forthemovementofpeopleand

goodsto,through,from,andwithinthearea. Atransportationsystemtakesontwoprimaryroles:

themovement of people and themovement of goods. The transportation improvement program

(TIP) is ametropolitan area’s regionally agreed upon list of surface transportation improvements

that received Federal funding to move goods and people in a metropolitan area’s transportation

system.

The TIP and Federal Guidance 

Congress passed the Federal‐AidHighwayAct of1962, requiring regional agencies to conduct a

"continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated" (3‐C) transportation planning process. Congress

took additional steps in drafting the Federal‐AidHighwayActof1973 by establishingMetropolitan

Planning Organizations (MPO) in urbanized areas over 50,000 persons in population, and by

dedicating to MPOs a small portion of each state's funding from the Highway Trust Fund. The

2

Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) empowered and provided for

flexibility in the use of funding, improved state‐regional cooperation, and enhanced public

participation. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA‐21) legislation of 1998

expanded the role and responsibilities of metropolitan areas exceeding 200,000 persons in

populationwith thedesignationof TransportationManagementAreas (TMA). In2005,Congress

passed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users

(SAFETEA‐LU).

SAFETEA‐LU guaranteed funding for highways, highway safety, and public transportation through

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 (September 30, 2009). Since then, the United States Senate has

passed continuing resolutions to extend SAFETEA‐LU and to provide appropriations for transit

programs through 2012 at funding levels consistent with authorized 2009 levels. SAFETEA‐LU

addressed themany challenges facing transportation systems including improving safety, reducing

trafficcongestion,improvingefficiencyinfreightmovement,increasingintermodalconnectivity,and

protecting the environment. SAFETEA‐LU promotedmore efficient and effective Federal surface

transportationprogramsby focusingon transportation issuesofnational significance,whilegiving

state and local transportation decisionmakersmore flexibility to solve transportation problems in

theircommunities.1

On July 6, 2012,MovingAhead forProgress in the21stCenturyAct (MAP‐21)was signed into law

replacingSAFETEA‐LU. MAP‐21providesessential funds for transportationprojects ranging from

passenger rail, freight transportation, highway and bridge projects, and bicycle and pedestrian

projects. MAP‐21tookeffectonOctober1,2012,andfundssurfacetransportationprojectsthrough

September30, 2014. The bill provides $105billion in fundingper year for Federal Fiscal Year’s

Federal Transportation Planning Process  Title23of theUnitedStatesCodeofFederalRegulations (CFR),Section450,SubpartC, states that

MPOsaretocarryouta:

“…continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive multimodal transportation planningprocess, including the development of a metropolitan transportation plan and a

transportation improvement program (TIP), that encourages and promotes the safe

and efficient development, management, and operation of surface transportationsystems to serve the mobility needs of people and freight (including accessible

pedestrianwalkwaysandbicycletransportationfacilities)and fostereconomicgrowth

and development, while minimizing transportation‐related fuel consumption and airpollution.”

Section 450.306 identifies eight planning factors to identify the “scope of the metropolitan

transportationplanningprocess.” Theseinclude:

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling

globalcompetitiveness,productivity,andefficiency;

2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized andnon‐motorizedusers;

3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and

non‐motorizedusers;4. Increaseaccessibilityandmobilityofpeopleandfreight;

5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and

improve consistency between transportation improvements and State and local

plannedgrowthandeconomicpatterns;6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across

andbetweenmodes,forpeopleandfreight;

7. Promoteefficientsystemmanagementandoperation;and,8. Emphasizethepreservationoftheexistingtransportationsystem.

Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization 

The Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (Des Moines Area MPO) serves as the

formal transportationplanningbody for thegreaterDesMoines, Iowa,metropolitanarea,carrying

out the intent of Title 23 of the United States CFR, Section 450. In 1983, the Governor of Iowa

designated theDesMoines AreaMPO as the officialMPO for theDesMoinesUrbanizedArea, as

4

definedbytheU.S.BureauoftheCensus. Inaddition,theDesMoinesAreaMPOisdesignatedasa

TransportationManagement Area, per Section 450.104, as it exceeds the population threshold of

200,000persons. TheDesMoinesAreaMPOworkstocarryouta3‐Cmultimodaltransportation

CHAPTER TWO   

Project Selection Procedures 

The Des Moines Area MPO is responsible for selecting projects that use Surface Transportation

Program (STP) and Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding.When considering project

requests for STP or TAP funds, the MPO places primary emphasis upon metropolitan‐wide

transportationsystemimprovementneedsas identifiedintheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sLong‐Range

Transportation Plan, how those needs impact themovement of people and goods throughout this

metropolitanarea,andhowtherequestedprojectwillhavepotentialbenefitsandpotentialimpacts

onallcommunitiesintheDesMoinesmetropolitanarea. TheDesMoinesAreaMPOshallgivefirst

considerationtofundingregionallysignificanttransportationprojectsinthePlan.

Allprojectsapplying forDesMoinesAreaMPOSTPorTAP fundingmustbesponsoredbyoneor

moreof thesixteenDesMoinesAreaMPOmembergovernments, the IowaDOT,orDART. Other

entities in the Des Moines Area MPO MPA are eligible only with co‐sponsorship by one of the

organizations listed above. Additionally, all projects applying for Des Moines Area MPO STP

fundingmust be located on a federal‐aid eligible route. When applying for STP or TAP funds, a

sponsor must submit a resolution from that sponsor’s council, board of supervisors, or similar

governingbody,guaranteeingthelocalfundsfortheSTPandTAPmatchandauthorizingtheproject.

Highway Bridge Program Project Selection 

The primary factor in Highway Bridge Program project selection is condition. Counties

annually review the results from the bridge inspections and make funding decisions based on

these reports. Other factors that are considered include traffic counts, freight movement, and

detour lengths. For example, a bridge posted for weight limits that is on an important freight

and farm goods route might be replaced before other bridge that are in worse condition but don’t

have a significant impact on traffic movements.

CHAPTER THREE   

Funding Programs  The followingchaptersummarized thevarious fundingprogramavailable forprojects in theDes

MoinesAreaMPO’splanningarea.

Surface Transportation Program 

The purpose of the STP is to provide flexible funding that may be used by localities for

improvementsonanyFederal‐aidhighway,bridgeprojectsonanypublic road,and intracityand

intercity bus terminals and facilities. The STP is also intended to provide funding for transit

capital improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and regional transportation planning

activities.TheMPOestablishedfourSTPsubcategoriesforimprovements:

 RegionallySignificant

Major Construction ‐ New: Projects create a new facility on a new alignment,

includingnewinterchangesorbridgereplacements,newrightofway.

MajorConstruction ‐Existing:Projects add capacity for a significant length of an

existing street or highway or adding lanes to an existing bridge, existing right ofway.

OtherProjects

Minor Construction: Projects provide “spot” improvements, such as arterial

intersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroad

crossingsignalimprovements.

Preservation:Projectsthatmaintainorpreservetheexistinginfrastructure,suchas

pavementresurfacing,pavementreplacement,andbridgerestoration.

17

Alternative Transportation: Project improvements other than for single occupant

vehicle use, such as pedestrian ways and trails, public transportation systems,

multi‐modal facilities, and carpool/vanpool and other multiple‐occupancy vehicle

programs.

SmallMember

ProjectsarelocatedinMPOmembergovernmentjurisdictionwithapopulationless

Construction,orPreservation.

MajorConstruction‐Existingisforprojectsaddingcapacityforasignificantlengthofanexistingstreetorhighway,oraddinglanestoanexistingbridge.

Minor Construction ‐ Projects providing ‘spot’ improvements, such as arterialintersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroadcrossingsignalimprovements.

Preservation ‐ Projects that maintain or preserve the existing highway and streetinfrastructure, such as pavement resurfacing, pavement replacement, and bridgerestoration.

Transportation Alternatives Program    ThepurposeoftheTAPistoprovidefundingforprogramsandprojectsdefinedastransportation

other roadways largely in the right‐of‐way of former Interstate System routes or other divided

highways.

TheDesMoinesAreaMPOgroupstheseeligibleactivitiesintocategoriesasfollows:

Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Provision of on‐street and off‐street facilities for

pedestrians and bicycles and the conversion and use of abandoned railway

corridors. NewConstruction subcategory is for projects creating a new facility,

The listofqualifyingactivities is intended tobeexclusive,not illustrative. Only thoseactivities

listed are eligible TAP activities. Measures in the activities listed, which go beyond what is

customarilyprovidedasenvironmentalmitigation,areconsideredasTransportationAlternatives

Programs. TAPprojectsarenon‐motorizedtransportation‐relatedactivities.

Transportation Alternative Program projects must have a relationship to surface transportation.

Proximitytoaroadwayortransportationfacilityaloneisnotsufficienttoestablisharelationshipto

surface transportation. Project sponsors should provide a clear and credible description of this

relationshipintheirproject’sproposal. Thefocusisonaclearandcredibledescriptionofhowthe

proposed TAP project relates to the surface transportation system. Several questions should be

asked:

1. In what way(s) is the project related to surface transportation throughpresentorpastuseasatransportationresource?

2. Isthereadirectconnectiontoapersonoreventnationallysignificantinthe

developmentofsurfacetransportation?3. Whatistheextentoftherelationship(s)tosurfacetransportation?

4. Whatgroupsandindividualsareaffectedbytherelationship(s)?

19

5. When did the relationship(s) start and end or does the relationship(s)

continue?6. Is a relationship substantial enough to justify the investment of

transportationfunds?

The TAP guidance states that proximity to a transportation facility alone is not sufficient to

establish a relationship. The following application types generally have been considered

ineligiblebytheFHWA,incooperationwiththeIowaDOT:

1. Surfacingorresurfacingofexistingroadsorconstructionofnewroads;

2. Constructionorsurfacingofparkinglots(unlesstrailheadparkinglot);

3. Constructionoflowwatercrossingsonroads;

4. Picnicshelters,picnictables,grills(unlessdirectlyrelatedtoatrailhead);5. Construction of new buildings (unless they are rest rooms or trailhead

shelters in conjunction with trails that will accommodate bikes or

pedestrians);6. MitigationorNationalEnvironmentalPolicyActSection106documentation

ofabridgereplacement;

7. Applicationswithoutapublicsponsor(city,State,orcountyagency);8. Historic applications where the facility or structure is not eligible for the

National Register of Historic Places (please reviewwith the StateHistoric

PreservationOffice);9. Historic preservation activities that do not demonstrate some significant

historicconnectionwithtransportationsystem;and,

10. Normalenvironmentalmitigationwork.

TheIowaDOTdividesTAPfundsintotwocategories. FiftypercentoftheTAPfundsaredivided

between theMPO’s and Regional Planning Affiliations (RPA). The DOT retains $1million of the

remainingTAPfundsforStatewideTAPprojectsandtherestistargetedtoMPO’sandRPA’sasTAP

Federal Funding Programs 

Some FHWA funds are distributed by statutory formulas, while other funds are “discretionary”

(congressionallyearmarked). TheprimarysourcesofFHWAformulafundingtoIowainclude:

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ): CMAQ

providesflexiblefundingfortransportationprojectsandprogramstaskedwithhelping

20

tomeet the requirementsof theCleanAirAct.Theseprojectscan include those that

reducecongestionandimproveairquality.

MetropolitanPlanningProgram(PL): FHWAprovidesfundingforthisprogramto

the State of Iowa based onurbanized areapopulation. The funds are dedicated tosupport transportation planning projects in urbanized areaswithmore than 50,000

persons.

NationalHighwayPerformanceProgram (NHPP): This program consolidates the

NationalHighwaySystemandtheInterstateMaintenanceProgramintooneprogram. NHPP expands the number of eligible roadway miles and funds may be used to

construct or improve NHS roadways, including state highways, U.S. highways, and

Interstates.

State Funding Programs 

InadditiontothedistributionofFederal‐aidformulafunds,theIowaDepartmentofTransportation

administersseveralgrantprogramsthroughapplicationprocessesthatneedtobedocumentedin

theTIP. Theyincludethefollowing:

Statewide Transportation Alternatives Programs: Transportation Alternatives

Programprojectsareintendedtogobeyondthenormalmitigationofatransportationimprovementproject. StatewideEnhancementfundsaremadeavailablethroughan

application process for projects of statewide significance. Statewide Enhancement

projectsarecategorizedbyTrailandBicycleFacility,HistoricandArcheological,andScenicandEnvironmentalprojects.

Recreational Trail Program: This program provides federal funding for both

motorized and nonmotorized trail projects and is funded through a takedown from

Iowa’sTAP funding.Thedecision toparticipate in thisprogram ismadeannuallybytheIowaTransportationCommission.

IowaCleanAirAttainmentProgram(ICAAP): The ICAAPfundsprojects thatare

intendedtomaximizeemissionreductionsthroughtrafficflowimprovements,reduced

vehicle‐miles of travel, and reduced single‐occupancy vehicle trips. This programutilizes$4millionofIowa’sCMAQapportionment.

CityBridgeProgram: AportionofSTPfundingdedicatedtolocalbridgeprojectsis

setaside for the fundingofbridgeprojectswithin cities.Eligibleprojectsneed tobeclassified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Projects are rated and

prioritizedbytheOfficeofLocalSystemswithawardsbaseduponcriteriaidentifiedin

the application process. Projects awarded grant funding are subject to a federal‐aidobligationlimitationof$1million.

Transit Funding Programs 

SimilartotheFHWAprograms,thetransitfundingauthorizedbySAFETEA‐LUismanagedinseveral

ways. The largest amount is distributed to the states or to largemetropolitan areas by formula.

Other program funds are discretionary, and some are earmarked for specific projects. Program

fundsincludethefollowing:

MetropolitanPlanningProgram (Section5303): FTA provides funding for this

program to the State based on its urbanized area populations. The funds are

22

dedicated to support transportationplanningprojects inurbanized areaswithmore

than50,000population.

Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307): FTA provides transit

operating, planning, and capital assistance funds directly to local recipients in

urbanizedareaswithpopulationsbetween50,000and200,000,basedonpopulationand density figures, plus transit performance factors for larger areas. Local

recipients, for whom projects are programmed by the Des Moines AreaMPO, must

applydirectlytotheFTA.

Capital InvestmentProgram (Section5309): The transit discretionary program

provides Federal assistance for major capital needs, such as fleet replacement and

constructionof transit facilities. All transitsystems in thestateareeligible for thisprogram. In recent years, Congress has earmarked all of these funds for specific

projectsorgeographicregions.

SpecialNeedsProgram(Section5310): Fundingisprovidedthroughthisprogramto increase the mobility for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Part of the

funding is administered along with the Non‐Urbanized funding; another part is

allocatedamongurbanizedtransitsystems.

Non‐UrbanizedAreaFormulaProgram (Section5311): This program provides

capital and operating assistance for rural and small urban transit systems. Fifteen

percent of these funds are allocated to Intercity Bus projects. A portion of thefundingisalsoallocatedtosupportruraltransitplanning.

RuralTransitAssistanceProgram(RTAP‐Section5311(h)): Thisfundingisalso

used for statewide training events and to support transit funding fellowships forregionalandsmallurbantransitstafforplanners.

StatewideTransportationPlanningProgram(Section5304): Thesefundscome

to the state based on population and are used to support transportation planningprojectsinnon‐urbanizedareas.

FlexibleFunds: CertainTitle23fundsmaybeusedfortransitpurposes. Transit

capital assistance is an eligible use of STP funds. Transit capital and start‐upoperatingassistance is aneligibleuseof ICAAP funds. When ICAAPandSTP funds

are programmed for transit projects, they are transferred to the FTA. The ICAAP

fundsareappliedforandadministeredbytheOfficeofPublicTransit.

StateTransitAssistance(STA): Allpublictransitsystemsareeligible for funding.

Thesefundscanbeusedbythepublictransitsystemforoperating,capital,orplanning

23

FHWA Funding Transferred to FTA 

STPfundsthatdesignatedfortransitinvestmentsarerequiredtobetransferredfromFHWAtoFTA

for administration. These projects must be programmed in the highway (FHWA) and transit

(FTA) section of the TIP in the FFY they are to be transferred. The process is initiatedwith a

letter from theRPA/MPO to the IowaDOT’sOffice of ProgramManagement and to theOffice of

Public Transit requesting the transfer of funds. The Office of Program Management will then
