58 Latest State by State Impact of Coronavirus on Construction Projects MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS COUNCIL OF STATE EXECUTIVES FR: RICH JULIANO, GENERAL COUNSEL RE: STATE-BY-STATE COMPILATION – EFFECT OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS (EDITION #58) DATE: JULY 6, 2020 – PM ARTBA is closely monitoring the status of transportation construction projects across the country in light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We are consulting with our affiliated chapters and members on a continual basis. Several chapters have shared the status reports they have made to their members, and are allowing us to excerpt them in this document. The information below also reflects reports made through our Council of State Executives, as well as direct contacts and news stories. Several public agencies have provided updates to ARTBA directly. As is noted a number of times, ARTBA’s affiliates have remained in close contact with their respective governors and/or state departments of transportation since this crisis developed. We have highlighted all content added or revised since the previous edition of this memo. Please note this is a current snapshot of project status at the state level. You are welcome to pass along any items of interest to me at [email protected], which we will utilize for the next edition of this report. Best wishes to everyone, and thank you for your participation in and support of ARTBA at this important time. NOTE: ARTBA President & CEO Dave Bauer wrote an op ed piece, “Yes, this is the ideal time to be fixing roads,” appearing in the Washington Examiner (4/7). The content is based largely on information provided on our members, chapters and state DOTs for this report. It can be found here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/yes-this-is-the-ideal-time-to-be- fixing-roads. © 2020 – American Road & Transportation Builders Association 1 New in this Edition Material from these states… California: As COVID-19 Cases Spike, Industry Urged to Reinforce Strict Safety Standards Connecticut: ConnDOT officials participate in informational hearing; Gov. Lamont issues executive order and advisory Maryland and Virginia: People are driving less and skipping the toll roads, leaving less money for local projects New Jersey: NJDOT Construction Projects Will Not Be Disrupted Due to Emergency State Worker Furloughs New York: NYC DOB to Start Issuing Fines for Non-Compliance with COVID-19 Health Protocols North Carolina: Still hovering near cash floor, NCDOT behind on major projects Virginia: VDOT Materials Certification Extensions Current Highlights Transportation construction projects are moving forward in every state. Nearly every governor issuing a “stay at home” order has also implicitly or explicitly designated public works construction as an “essential” or “critical” line of business, allowing projects to remain open. Some of the state executive orders have referenced the federal Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CISA issued its “3.1” version of the guidance on Tuesday 5/19 (see below). Contractors are implementing COVID-19 safeguards as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, their respective public health agencies, and others. Several state DOTs and/or industry groups/coalitions have issued guidance in this area. Several state DOTs are working with industry on accelerating projects by taking advantage of lower traffic volumes. States are now quantifying actual and projected transportation-related revenue losses from the pandemic. Some, such as North Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, have announced reductions in their construction programs. State DOTs are increasingly implementing processes using electronic documents, to avoid the need for handling hard copies of forms, tickets and the like. Many state DOTs have put office employees on telework status. Generally, field staff are considered “essential,” which helps enable projects to continue. © 2020 – American Road & Transportation Builders Association 2 Table of Contents Cybersecurity and

Each day, Northeastern Illinois and the City of Chicago depend on safe, reliable trains and buses to get two million riders where they need Illinois are built to go. Mass transit relieves highway congestion, contributes to the regional economy, and benefits society as a whole. The region’s Transit Agencies – the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra Commuter Rail, Pace Suburban Bus, and the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) – on transit and are carrying one of the largest transit-riding populations in the nation on old systems that are expensive to operate. Despite the age of their systems, the Transit Agencies work diligently every day to meet the highest expectations of safety, security, and accessibility for the public and their employees. our investment The 2018-2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Invest in Transit, is the region’s case for pursuing dependable funding streams that will enable is at risk. the Transit Agencies to provide this vital service well into the future. 2 INVEST IN TRANSIT The 2018-2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan 3 Our vision is public transit as the core of the region’s robust transportation mobility network. Transit is a central part of the region’s transportation and logistics network. People use it to get to work, school, medical appointments, and more. They ride during rush hour, the middle of the day, and at night. The availability of transit throughout the six Northeastern Illinois counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will helps our region compete on a global scale for commerce and business.

  • June 2021 Project Management Oversight Report
    Project Management Oversight Report June 2021 REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – JUNE 2021 Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct , interviews project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The RTA’s 2018‐2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Invest in Transit, highlights $30 billion of projects that are needed to maintain and modernize the region’s transit network. To maintain and preserve the current system in a State of Good Repair (SGR), as well as address the backlog of deferred SGR projects, requires a capital investment of $2 to $3 billion per year. The Rebuild Illinois and PayGo funding is planned to expedite overdue repair and replacement projects, reduce the backlog of deferred improvements, and move the system toward a state of good repair. The funds enable real progress on the state of good repair, by allowing improvements and in some cases replace aging system assets. Although this has been a difficult time due to operating funding shortfalls related to COVID‐19, the Service Boards are continuing with the implementation of their capital programs. This report includes 20 Rebuild Illinois and 18 PayGo projects representing over $1.1 billion in state funding. Many of these projects started recently and have ongoing activities. Expenditures are low due to payment milestones on the projects not yet being achieved.
