A-9 2017-20 MTIP - Page 1 of 356 A Guide to the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program Introduction The federally required Transportation Improvement Program (TIP or FTIP), called the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP)1 in the Sacramento Region, is a comprehensive listing of transportation projects that receive federal funds, require a federal action, or are regionally significant. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG),2 as the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the six-county Sacramento Region, prepares and adopts the MTIP every two years. The MTIP covers a four-year period and must be financially constrained by year, meaning that the amount of dollars committed to the projects (also referred to as “programmed”) must not exceed the amount of dollars estimated to be available. The MTIP must include a financial plan that demonstrates that programmed projects can be implemented. Adoption of the MTIP must be accompanied by an evaluation and determination of air quality conformity.3 Federal regulations also require an opportunity for public comment prior to MTIP approval. Transit, highway, local roadway, bicycle and pedestrian investments are included in the MTIP. Apart from some improvements to the region’s airports and the Port of Sacramento, all regionally significant transportation projects or projects requiring federal action are part of the MTIP. All projects included in the MTIP must be consistent with the long range regional transportation plan. The current plan for the SACOG region is the 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 MTP/SCS).4 The 2017-20 MTIP: Features and Highlights Below are some features and highlights of the 2017-20 MTIP: . Addresses the federal requirements as identified in the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), enacted December 4, 2015. Approximately every four to six years, the U.S. Congress adopts and the President signs a transportation act—an authorization to spend tax dollars on highways, streets, roads, transit and other transportation related projects. Covers four years of programming: federal fiscal years (FFY) 2017 through 2020. Includes approximately 549 projects total (121 individually listed transportation projects and 428 grouped projects in 35 grouped project listing categories). Programs $2.0 billion of the $5.0 billion of reasonably available federal, state, and local funding during the four years of the MTIP. 2017-20 MTIP - Page 2 of 356 Investment Decisions: 2016 MTP/SCS and the MTIP The 2016 MTP/SCS, which was approved by SACOG in February 2016, guides and prioritizes all SACOG’s programming decisions. It is the Sacramento Region’s comprehensive roadmap to guide transportation investment over the next 20 years. The 2016 MTP/SCS invests $46.6 billion (in year of expenditure dollars) and proactively links transportation, land use and air quality. Additionally, the 2016 MTP/SCS gives individuals more options for how to get around, with investments in walking, biking, and transit as well as roadway improvements. It focuses on six principles: 1. Smart Land Use 2. Environmental Quality and Sustainability 3. Financial Stewardship 4. Economic Vitality 5. Access and Mobility 6. Equity and Choice The 2016 MTP/SCS identifies investment in transit at $13.8 billion, $3.6 billion in bicycle and pedestrian projects, $7.7 billion in strategic investments in road and highway, and $16.3 billion in road maintenance and rehabilitation. The 2016 MTP/SCS identifies investment of $2.3 billion in programs and planning, such as rideshare matching, 511, Spare the Air campaigns, and Community Design grants to support local smart growth efforts. The 2016 MTP/SCS builds on the Blueprint Preferred Growth Scenario (Blueprint), which envisions more housing and transportation choices and promotes integrated land uses and quality design

  • Five Year Capital Improvement Plan FY 2015 – FY 2019
    Exhibit A Sacramento Regional Transit District Five Year Capital Improvement Plan FY 2015 – FY 2019 Page 1 of 40 Sacramento Regional Transit District Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (FY 2015 – FY 2019) Section I: Introduction Overview The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) represents the culmination of RT’s efforts to strategically plan and prioritize capital activities from FY 2015 to FY 2019. The projects in the CIP are consistent with RT’s adopted Vision, Strategic Plan, and with the region’s currently approved Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Plan (MTIP). The plan places an emphasis on ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, a “state of good repair” for RT’s current assets; completing transit expansion projects identified in Measure A Renewal; and providing for modest system enhancement/improvement projects – particularly projects that significantly enhance customer service or provide opportunities for greater system efficiency/revenue generation. In addition, this document provides early information for proposed projects beyond the five-year window. The CIP is intended to be a “living document”. On an annual basis, the plan will be reviewed, updated, and reissued in its entirety as one year drops and a new year is added. Projects were prioritized into five Tiers based on need and projected funding availability. Tiers include: Tier 0: These projects are fully funded. Tier I: These are high priority projects that are not fully funded. Tier II: RT would like to fund these projects in the CIP, but they are contingent upon adequate revenue being available. There are limitations associated with the various revenue sources available to RT, and this could impact RT’s ability to move Tier II projects forward.

  • Call for Projects: MTP/SCS and MTIP Update
    January 26, 2018 To: Local Public Works and Department of Transportation Staff From: James Corless, CEO Clint Holtzen, MTP/SCS Project Manager José Luis Cáceres, Analyst Subject: DUE 3/23: Call for Project Review – 2020 MTP/SCS Update & 2019-22 MTIP Thank you for your participation in our regional planning efforts. This memo requests your local agency input for transportation projects that will be considered in the 2020 update of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS) and the 2019- 22 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP). The MTP/SCS and the MTIP are complementary projects that represent two major work efforts for SACOG in our role as the MPO for the six-county region. Where the MTP/SCS is the long- range transportation planning document for the six-county SACOG region with an outlook of 20 years, the MTIP represents the near-term local and regional actions that execute the plan, with a program of projects that have committed funding over the next four to five years. The MTP/SCS and MTIP are important for demonstrating that the region is meeting federal and state air quality standards, achieving greenhouse gas reductions, ensuring that transportation dollars continue to flow to the region, and keeping our projects competitive for grants and other special programs. In addition, these efforts allow the region to take a cooperative, evidence-based approach for investing in transportation projects and programs that provide the most benefit with the limited resources at our disposal. An Economic Prosperity theme for the 2020 MTP/SCS The 2020 MTP/SCS will place a strong emphasis on transportation projects, programs and policies that will contribute to an economically prosperous region.
