Transportation Coordinating Council Lev Wood, Chairperson Councilmember, Grosse Pointe Farms

DATE: July 15, 2021

TO: Transportation Coordinating Council

SUBJECT: 2021 Summer Amendment to the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program for Southeast Michigan and the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan for Southeast Michigan

Summary of action requested The Transportation Coordinating Council is requested to recommend Executive Committee approval of an amendment to the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program for Southeast Michigan (TIP) and the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan for Southeast Michigan (RTP) as detailed in this memorandum.

Background The RTP is a long-range vision and strategy document that directs investment in the regional transportation system. The TIP is a list of specific projects selected from the RTP for implementation by cities, villages, county road agencies, transit providers, and the Michigan Department of Transportation over a four-year period.

The 2021 Summer Amendment revises 27 projects in the TIP and RTP; this breaks down to nine project additions, nine project or phase deletions, four projects with changes in scope, four projects with changes in cost, and one project with both a phase deletion and a change in scope.

This amendment, as proposed, consists of a variety of safety projects including roundabouts, signal modernization, new trail planning, a safety study, and pavement markings. There are also proposed changes for pavement and bridge projects, capacity projects, and a Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) smart intersection project.

In addition, this action will amend several General Program Accounts (GPA), which are used to group smaller, routine projects by type. These changes are shown in the table below.

General Program Account Amendments, Summer 2021 Fiscal Proposed General Program Account Past Budget Year Budget 2021 Trunkline Scoping, Studies, and Training $0 $55,000 2022 Local Livability and Sustainability $4,003,041 $5,158,043 2022 Trunkline Bridge $26,620128 $34,743,277 2022 Trunkline Livability and Sustainability $6,150,613 $11,137,572 2023 Trunkline Bridge $8,467,403 $10,542,912

7 2021 Summer Amendment to the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program for Southeast Michigan and the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan for Southeast Michigan

Amendment evaluations The amendment requires all proposed projects undergo a series of evaluations – identification of financial resources, air quality conformity analysis, environmental justice analysis, environmental sensitivity review, assessment for consistency with the regional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) architecture, and a public comment process.

The results of these evaluations are summarized below:

 The fiscal constraint analysis indicates the RTP and TIP remain fiscally constrained.  An air quality conformity analysis was not required for this amendment since all projects were considered exempt from analysis by the Michigan Transportation Conformity Interagency Workgroup (MiTC-IAWG).  The environmental sensitivity review summarizes possible impacts of RTP projects on environmentally sensitive resources.  The environmental justice analysis indicates impacts related to implementation of the RTP (including TIP projects) remain balanced across the region.  The projects are consistent with the Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems architecture.  The projects are consistent with the regional Congestion Management Process.

The public comment period for the amendment officially began on June 22, 2021 and will end with Executive Committee action on July 22, 2021.

Action requested The Transportation Coordinating Council is requested to recommend Executive Committee approval of the amendment to the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program for Southeast Michigan and the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan for Southeast Michigan.

WHEREAS, SEMCOG is responsible for developing a long-range regional transportation plan and a Transportation Improvement Program that funds projects to implement the plan;

WHEREAS, the 2045 RTP was developed pursuant to the transportation planning provisions of Title 23 of United States Code (USC) Section 134 and Title 49 USC Section 5303;

WHEREAS, the 2045 RTP requires periodic updates to include projects not fully developed at the time the 2045 RTP was originally adopted, to take advantage of new funding and reflect changing priorities;

WHEREAS, the 2045 RTP and FY 2017-2020 TIP were analyzed in accordance with 40 CFR 51 for air quality conformity and found not to exceed present and future emission budgets in all analysis years;

WHEREAS, the amendments to the FY 2020-2023 TIP are consistent with the 2045 RTP policies, were financially constrained to identified funding resources, and the amendment process actively encouraged public and agency review and comment;

WHEREAS, SEMCOG certifies that all projects funded in total or in part with State Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF) Category C funds are eligible for funding under PA 231 of 1987, as amended, and meet the goals and objectives of the program;

WHEREAS, the 2045 RTP, as amended, remains consistent with regional goals and objectives and federal planning factors and were examined for potential impacts on environmentally sensitive resources;

WHEREAS, impacts resulting from the 2045 RTP and the FY 2020-2023 TIP as amended, are balanced across the region, so that no one population bears a disproportionate negative impact, and the benefits are shared across the region;

Smart Intersections: Paving the Way for a National CAV Deployment

Total Project Costs: $19,906,683 ATCMTD Request: $9,950,098

The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) has assembled a stellar group of public and private partners to form a consortium for the Smart Intersections Project. The consortium includes UMTRI, Ford, Toyota, Qualcomm, the City of Ann Arbor, Continental, Iteris, WSP, P3Mobility, Econolite, and Purdue University. The consortium offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to leverage one of the largest operational deployments of connected vehicles and infrastructure in the nation, and in doing so, take significant advantage of previous investments made by the USDOT, the State of Michigan, the University of Michigan, Ford Motor Company, and the City of Ann Arbor. The Smart Intersections Project addresses the four major obstacles to wide-scale deployment of connected/automated vehicles (CAVs) and infrastructure: 1. How to ensure wide scale benefits of CAV Infrastructure without wide scale adoption; 2. How to generate revenue to facilitate investment needed to build CAV Infrastructure; 3. How to help an inexperienced public entity go from A to Z to build, finance, operate and maintain CAV infrastructure; and 4. How to minimize risk to automobile manufacturers and public agencies by providing a technology-agnostic solution that provides interoperability between dedicated short-range radar (DSRC) and cellular vehicle-to- everything (C-V2X). We propose a deployment of a network of smart intersections in Ann Arbor, Michigan where vehicles and infrastructure interact in a connected environment using state of the art technology. Our project will accelerate the national deployment of CAVs by building a connected vehicle-infrastructure foundation that will address the penetration issue. We will also develop an Implementation Guide that includes all the tools a local jurisdiction needs to start down the road of building a self-sustainable CAV eco-system. This project will enable the City of Ann Arbor to pave the way and be the first of many cities to (1) introduce revenue-generating strategies, which facilitate infrastructure financing costs; (2) improve public safety by reducing vehicle

accidents, injuries, and fatalities especially for vulnerable road users, first responders and automated vehicles; and (3) optimize people throughput while decreasing Ann Arbor’s carbon footprint. This project will not only build upon the existing Ann Arbor connected environment, but also on the on-going work on connected intersections by UMTRI/Mcity, CAMP, and the Connected Vehicle Pooled Fund Study to develop a nationally consistent connected intersections for interoperability with production vehicles.

Concept of Operations The concept of operations of the smart intersection is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Concept of Operations for the Smart Intersections Project

For each intersection along an arterial corridor, advanced infrastructure sensors including radars and cameras are installed at each approach. The sensors are able to detect and track the status of road objects within their field of view in real-time. The detection and tracking information is transmitted to an edge-computing device for data fusion and processing. Then the edge-computing device encodes the detected objects into standard SAE messages such as pseudo Basic Safety Message (BSM) or

University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute 2901 Baxter Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA 16

Sensor Data Sharing Messages (SDSM), which are then broadcast through a roadside unit (RSU) over DSRC and/or C-V2X. This creates a connected environment that ensures wide scale benefits even for early adopters of connected vehicle technologies. Supported by the smart intersections, the following five applications will be implemented: Vehicle Safety Warnings1, Vulnerable Road User Protection, Transit Signal Priority, Emergency Vehicle Preemption, and Dynamic Signal Optimization. As the standard for SDSM (SAE J3224) is being developed, we propose to establish an Advanced V2X Technology Living Lab to investigate the SDSM data quality and demonstrate potential applications with 5G NR based C-V2X. As part of this project, we will also investigate and develop business models that will facilitate the infrastructure investment through public-private-partnership. AAA server technology will be adopted to handle user requests for access to computer resources and to provide authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services. Non-PII (personal identifiable information) will be stored in a cloud server for further analysis with different applications.

1 Vehicle Safety Warnings include Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL), Curve Speed Warning (CSW), Intersection Movement Assist (IMA), Ice Warning, Red Light Violation Warning (RLVW), and Emergency Vehicle Approach (EVA), all of which are currently deployed on the aftermarket safety device (ASD) fleet in Ann Arbor.

SUBJECT: Regional Transit Safety Performance Measures 2021

Summary of action requested The Transportation Coordinating Council is requested to recommend Executive Committee support of SEMCOG’s federally-required 2021 Regional Transit Safety Performance Measure Targets for Southeast Michigan. Transportation performance management is a strategic approach to make investment and policy decisions to achieve national performance goals.

Policy implications The performance area of public transit safety is supported by policies in several of SEMCOG’s plans, including the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan, the Southeast Michigan Traffic Safety Plan, and SEMCOG’s regional transit plan, Improving Transit in Southeast Michigan: A Framework for Action.

SEMCOG established the transit safety performance measure targets in coordination with the region's eight fixed-route transit providers and the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan (RTA). SEMCOG will continue collaboration and partnership with the regional transit providers, the RTA, and local road agencies to plan and implement policies and projects that contribute to meeting the targets.

Establishing targets is part of SEMCOG’s performance-based planning process and required by federal transportation regulations. Under federal rules, states that fail to meet or make significant progress toward these targets will be required to document actions the state will undertake to achieve their targets. If necessary, MDOT will formally address underperformance. There are no direct implications to SEMCOG for underperforming targets.

Background Federal transportation legislation established a performance-based planning framework, performance measures, and target-setting requirements for states and regions. These focus federal funding on national transportation goals addressing:  Safety,  Infrastructure condition,  Congestion reduction,  System reliability,  Public transportation (safety and asset management),  Freight movement,

18 Regional Transit Safety Performance Measures 2021

 Economic vitality, and  Environmental sustainability. Transit performance measures cover four categories:  Fatalities: total number of reportable fatalities and rate per total vehicle revenue miles by mode  Injuries: total number of reportable injuries and rate per total vehicle revenue miles by mode  Safety Events: total number of reportable events and rate per total vehicle revenue miles by mode  System Reliability: mean distance between major mechanical failures by mode

More details regarding the establishment of the transit safety targets can be found in the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) newsletters attached to this memo.

Table 1 provides a summary of the recommended transit safety targets.

Timeline Each transit provider is required to review its Agency Safety Plan annually and update the plan, including the safety performance targets, as necessary. SEMCOG is not required to set new transit safety targets each year but can choose to revisit the safety performance targets based on the schedule for preparation of its system performance report that is part of the RTP. SEMCOG has 180 days from receipt of transit agency safety performance targets to prepare the public transportation safety performance targets which happens every four years.

FTAFEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION Safety Performance Targets Fact Sheet Overview

The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) regulation at 49 CFR § 673.11(a)(3) states that an Agency Safety Plan must include performance targets based on the safety performance measures established in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan. This fact sheet contains guidance on how to determine safety performance targets (SPTs) to meet that requirement. 1 Setting Targets

Generally, an agency sets SPTs for each mode that represent its goals for the upcoming year (calendar, fiscal, or National Transit Database [NTD] reporting year). These goals could maintain current safety performance levels or aim to improve upon current safety performance. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has not specified how transit providers must set their targets nor established a required methodology.

You may choose to set your targets based on the safety data reported for each mode to the NTD in the past year or an average of the data (per mode) you reported over a certain number of years. You may consider benchmarking peer agencies or transit industry averages based on data reported to the NTD (see resources section for a link to the NTD time-series data).

Fatality Target

For the fatality safety performance measure, FTA uses the NTD definition of fatality (death confirmed within 30 days) and excludes trespassing and suicide-related fatalities. This means that although you may have to report a trespassing fatality to the NTD, you would exclude that trespassing fatality from your fatality performance target.

Injury Target

For the injury safety performance measure, FTA uses the NTD definition of injury (harm to a person requiring immediate medical attention away from the scene). FTA uses injuries reported on both the NTD S&S-40 (major) and S&S-50 (non-major) forms and excludes injuries resulting from assaults and other crimes (security events). This means you may have to report a crime-

FTAFEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION related injury to the NTD, but you would exclude that injury from your injury performance target.

Safety Event Target

For the safety event performance measure, FTA uses all safety events meeting an NTD major event threshold (events reported on the S&S-40 form). For this measure, FTA includes only major safety events and excludes major security events (both of which are reported to the NTD). This means you may have to report a major security event to the NTD, but you would exclude that security event from your safety events performance target.

System Reliability Target

The system reliability target is expressed in miles and is the mean (average) distance between major mechanical failures. The NTD Agency B, which operates 45 fixed- route Vehicles Operated in Annual defines a major mechanical system failure as “a failure of some Maximum Service (VOMs), reported mechanical element of the revenue vehicle that prevents the 2,560,000 total VRM and 250 major vehicle from completing a scheduled revenue trip or from starting mechanical failures in the past year. the next scheduled revenue trip because actual movement is VRM / failures = SPT limited or because of safety concerns.” NTD Full Reporters report 2,560,000 / 250 = 10,240 miles major mechanical failures to the NTD on the Maintenance Performance form (R-20). To calculate the mean distance between failures for a transit mode, you divide total vehicle revenue miles (VRM) by the total number of failures.

Data for NTD Reduced Reporters

Reduced Reporters report the total annual number of fatalities and injuries that occur in their systems, the total number of reportable events, and their annual VRM.2 You can use this information to support the development of SPTs for fatalities, injuries, and safety events. As noted above, when you develop SPTs for fatalities, you will exclude trespassing and suicide- related fatalities; for injuries, you will exclude injuries resulting from assaults and other crimes (security events).

Reduced Reporters are not required to report major mechanical failures to the NTD. To set the system reliability performance target, you may, for example, review vehicle maintenance records to determine the number of major mechanical failures experienced in the prior year or the average of major mechanical failures over a certain number of years.

2 Reduced reporters receive or benefit from Section 5307 funding, operate 30 vehicles or less across all modes and types of service, and do not operate fixed guideway and/or high intensity busway.
