Section 1: Introduction

The Transportation Improvement Program

Waco Urbanized Area For Fiscal Years 2021 Through 2024

Readopted by the Waco MPO Policy Board – January 21, 2021

Prepared by the Waco Metropolitan Planning Organization in Cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation

Waco Metropolitan Planning Organization Section 1: Introduction

1.1 Background

Transportation planning within the Waco Metropolitan Area is performed by the City of Waco, which in 1974 was designated as the Metropolitan Planning Organization by the Governor of Texas. This designation was in response to federal law which requires a cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing planning process for all federal transportation programs. This process requires input and acceptance from local governments within urbanized areas greater than 50,000 persons. The Waco Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was created to meet these federal requirements for the Waco Urbanized Area.

The MPO Staff organizes, researches, and coordinates the activities between the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Waco MPO Policy Board. The MPO Policy Board consists of 20 members who represent each government with populations greater than 5,000 or are home rule cities within the metropolitan area, three small cities representatives, and the Waco District Engineer of TxDOT. The Policy Board is the decision making component of the MPO and functions as the governing body for the MPO. Their duties include adopting policy and amending plans, including the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Policy Board receives technical assistance from a Technical Committee comprised of engineering, planning, and other technical professionals from local governments, transit agencies, TxDOT, MPO Staff, and other transportation interests.

1.2 Definition of Area

Located midway between Dallas and Austin on IH-35, Waco is centrally located in the region known as the “Heart of Texas.” The Waco Urbanized Area, as identified by the US Census Bureau, encompasses approximately 91 square miles and an estimated population of 186,293 as of the year 2017.

In order to account for future growth and activities that impact mobility within the urbanized area, the MPO studies a much larger area when developing the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. This area is referred to as the Waco Metropolitan Area and it is coextensive with McLennan County, Texas. The Waco Metropolitan Area encompasses 1,037 square miles and in 2017 had an estimated population of 251,259. Map 1 shows both the Waco Urbanized Area and the Waco Metropolitan Area.

1.3 Purpose of the TIP

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a staged, multi-year program of regionally significant transportation projects proposed for implementation during the next 4 years. The TIP is developed in cooperation with owners and operators of various portions of the transportation system within McLennan County to identify priorities for consideration consistent with the top priorities identified within Connections 2045: The Waco Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). At a minimum, all projects utilizing federal or state highway or public transportation funds during fiscal years 2021 through 2024 must be included within the TIP prior to work or services commencing. In addition, all projects with a federal interest, such as those impacting the Interstate Highway System, the National Highway System or public transportation, must also be included regardless of funding source. Finally, projects identified by the MPO Policy Board as being ‘regionally significant’ are also identified within the TIP. Regionally significant projects are those identified within the MTP. Once programmed into the TIP, projects are cleared for the applicable phase of implementation beginning within the year identified. In addition, projects identified within the TIP are automatically incorporated within the Texas State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 1

The TIP is required to be updated every 2 years to account for changing priorities or funding availability. In addition federal guidelines require that the TIP identify all regionally significant work proposed within the Waco Region for a minimum timeframe of 4 fiscal years.

1.4 Project Selection Process

Project selection begins with corridor identification under the Metropolitan Thoroughfare Plan which then leads to the development of projects within Connections 2045: The Waco Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). This work is then supplemented by various corridor, transit route studies and the Regional Public Transportation Coordination Plan. All projects are evaluated within the MTP based on improving the state of good repair, reducing fatal and serious injury crashes, supporting regional economic development efforts, improving freight movement, improving regional livability and improving access to economic opportunities and essential services. Many of these considerations are incorporated into system performance requirements identified within the FAST Act (Section 1.3 in the MTP). The project evaluation process approved by the MPO Policy Board is described in Appendix B of the MTP. Projects are prioritized within the MTP based on these results, the MPO Policy Board considerations, and the fiscal constraint identified within the plan. These priorities determine which projects may proceed with respect to environmental and engineering studies and right of way acquisition, if necessary. Projects are then proposed for inclusion within the TIP based on the completion of any necessary studies, the acquisition of any necessary right of way, and a formal commitment of necessary funds.

Transit projects generally include all federal operating funds allocated to Waco Transit during the 4- year scope of the TIP. In addition, all capital purchases are included, based on need and a commitment of necessary funds. These include purchases by Waco Transit and the FTA Section 5310 providers (elderly and disabled program) within the Waco Urbanized Area. Other transit projects are evaluated within a separate transit route study, the results of which are incorporated into the MTP. Similar to highway projects, these projects are proposed for inclusion based on the completion of necessary studies, the availability of necessary funds, and system performance requirements identified within the FAST Act (Section 1.3 in the MTP).

Priority within the TIP is determined by the year in which the project is programmed. Projects programmed for FY 2021 are considered to be the highest priority and may be implemented as soon as plans are complete and a formal funding commitment is made. Projects programmed for FY 2022 are considered a secondary priority and projects programmed for FY 2023 and 2024 are considered a tertiary priority.

1.5 Fiscal Constraint

Each identified phase of work within the TIP must have a formal commitment of funding prior to consideration. Projects lacking this commitment for a significant portion of the project cost cannot be programmed into the TIP. Work identified within grouped CSJ categories (see Section 2) are fiscally constrained at the statewide level.

Bid costs for projects can sometimes be significantly different than that estimated when funding commitments were made. This may be especially true for projects programmed within fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Projects may still proceed to implementation if costs are as much as 50% or $1 million greater than the cost identified within the TIP, whichever is less.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 2 1.6 Relationship between the TIP and the TxDOT Unified Transportation Program (UTP)

The Unified Transportation Program (UTP) is TxDOT's 10‐year planning document that guides the planning and development of transportation improvements within each TxDOT District. Priorities identified within the UTP for the Waco Region are intended to be consistent with those identified within the short-range priorities of the MTP (years 2020 through 2030). When those priorities are then ready for implementation (the first 4 years of the UTP), they are recommended for programming within the TIP.

Transportation Performance Management (TPM) is federally required through the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. It is a strategic approach that uses goals, measures, and data to make better informed decisions about how to invest transportation funding resulting in a better performing national transportation system with greater public benefit. Emphasis is placed on efficient delivery of goods, and safe reliable journeys to work, school, shopping, and community activities. Funding is intended to be targeted toward projects aimed at achieving national performance goals for improving the safety, reliability and condition of roadway facilities that are a part of the National Highway System (NHS) and regional transit systems.

Future long range transportation plans and short range implementation programs (MTPs and TIPs) developed by the Waco MPO are required to demonstrate a performance based decision process that ties back to performance targets. The Waco MPO is required to establish performance standards for the Waco Metropolitan Area and to meet subsequent reporting requirements. Performance measures focus on transportation system safety (PM1), condition of pavement and bridges (PM2), system reliability and freight movement (PM3), and transit safety and asset condition (PTASP, TAM). As of the release of this draft document, performance targets for PTASP have not been established by Waco Transit System, Inc. and will be incorporated in future iterations of this document.

Safety Measures (PM1)

The Safety Performance rule (PM1) establishes safety performance measure requirements to assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. Within the State of Texas, serious injuries are defined as ‘incapacitating injuries’ within the TxDOT Crash Records Information System (CRIS). The objective of PM1 is to ensure safety improvements guide funding prioritization in order to advance the national goal of maintaining safe roadway networks.

Required performance measurements include:

• Number of fatalities • Fatalities per million vehicle miles traveled (fatality rate) • Number of serious injuries (incapacitating injuries) • Serious injuries per million vehicle miles traveled (incapacitating injury rate) • Number of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized serious injuries

Each year, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sets safety performance targets for Texas for these five federally required safety performance measures. The targets are applicable to all public roads in Texas regardless of functional classification or ownership. In support of these measures, the Waco MPO chose to support the Texas safety targets in February, 2020. At the close of each year, TxDOT and the Waco MPO will report on significant progress toward meeting these targets.

In February 2020, the Waco MPO resolved to support TxDOT’s 2020 safety targets:

• To reduce the expected rise of fatalities by 2% over current baseline forecast • To reduce the expected fatality rate by 2% over current baseline forecast • To reduce the expected rise in incapacitating injuries by 2% over current baseline forecast • To maintain the current downward trend in the incapacitating injury rate • To reduce the expected rise of non-motorized fatalities and non-motorized incapacitating injuries by 2% over current baseline forecast

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 5 Baseline forecasts are calculated using historical 5-year rolling averages. The baseline is used to determine expected trends if the MPO chose to use available funding to maintain the local transportation system without implementing safety intervention projects.

The mix of projects selected by the Waco MPO for inclusion in TIP is intended to support TxDOT in achieving its safety performance targets for the State of Texas transportation system given the availability of necessary funds.

Pavement and Bridge Condition Measures (PM2)

The Pavement and Bridge performance rule (PM2) establishes performance requirements to assess the condition of pavements and bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) and the Interstate System relative to a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) definition of State of Good Repair (SGR). SGR is the condition in which a capital asset is able to operate at a full level of performance. The premise of the rule is to ensure roadway maintenance guides funding prioritization in order to further the national goal of strategically and systematically maintaining the nation’s transportation system in good condition.

Required performance measurements include:

• Percent of Interstate pavements in good condition • Percent of Interstate pavements in poor condition • Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in good condition • Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in poor condition • Percent of NHS bridges in good condition • Percent of NHS bridges in poor condition • Percent of bridge deck area defined as poor

TxDOT collects condition data for all NHS facilities in Texas, which includes Interstates, other freeways, and principal arterials regardless of ownership. Based on this information, TxDOT sets condition targets for Texas for the four federally required pavement performance measures and the three bridge performance measures. In June 2018, TxDOT adopted 4-year condition targets for Texas, which are applicable to all roadways on the NHS. In support of these measures, the Waco MPO chose to support the Texas pavement and bridge targets in October, 2018 with one exception. The MPO adopted a lower target of 48.0 percent of non-interstate NHS pavements in good condition for the Waco Metropolitan Area rather than support the TxDOT target of 52.3 percent. Every four years, TxDOT and the Waco MPO will report on significant progress toward meeting these targets. The MPO has opportunity to review and adjust these targets every two years.

In October, 2018, the Waco MPO adopted the following targets for pavement and bridge condition for NHS facilities within the Waco Metropolitan Area:

• Interstate Pavements: 66.4% good condition, 0.3% poor condition • Non-Interstate NHS System pavements: 48.0% good condition, 14.3% poor condition • NHS System Bridges: 50.42% good condition, 0.80% poor condition

The mix of projects selected by the Waco MPO for inclusion in TIP is intended to support TxDOT in achieving its pavement and bridge performance targets for the State of Texas transportation system given the availability of necessary funds.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 6 Travel Time Reliability Measures (PM3)

The System Performance rule (PM3) establishes performance measure requirements to assess the performance of the NHS and to assess freight movement on the Interstate System. These measures focus on evaluating travel time reliability and travel delay on interstate, freeway and principal arterial class facilities to determine whether the magnitude of travel time variability is considered unreasonable. The objective of the rule is to ensure efforts to improve unreasonable travel delay and expedite the movement of people and goods guide funding prioritization, furthering the national goal of improving the efficiency of the surface transportation system. Reliability references the level of consistency in transportation service over a specific time period and is the most important service quality attribute for travelers and freight transporters.

Required performance measurements include:

• Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) for Interstates on the NHS • Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) for non-Interstates on the NHS • Level of Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) for Interstates on the NHS

Along with TxDOT, the MPO is responsible for setting system performance targets for two federally required travel time reliability measures and one freight reliability measure. The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) was contracted by TxDOT to collect travel time reliability and travel delay data for all NHS facilities in Texas. Using an analysis of past unreliable travel conducted by TTI, the Waco MPO is required to establish specific regional travel time and freight reliability targets for Interstate and NHS roadways in the Waco Metropolitan Area. TxDOT and the Waco MPO will report on travel time reliability and travel delay performance towards targets every four years. The MPO has opportunity to review and adjust these targets every two years.

In June, 2018, the Waco MPO adopted the following travel time and freight reliability targets for 2020 and 2022 for Interstate and NHS roadways in the Waco Metropolitan Area:

• Percent of reliable travel for all traffic on the Interstate System (Table 1.1) • Percent of reliable travel for all traffic on other freeways and principal arterials (Table 1.1) • Ratio of unreliable truck travel to average truck travel on the Interstate System (Tables 1.1 and 1.2)

Table 1.1 – 2020 and 2022 Travel Time Reliability and Travel Delay Targets System 2017 Reliability* 2020 Target 2022 Target Recommendation** Recommendation** Interstate (all traffic) 100% 97% 95% Other Freeway/Principal Arterials (all traffic) 90% 90% 85% Interstate (truck traffic) 1.17 1.35 1.40

Table 1.2 – Reliability Ratio Reliability Value** Classification** Between 1.0 and 1.25 Very Good Between 1.25 and 1.4 Good Between 1.4 and 1.5 Barely Good Between 1.5 and 1.6 Barely Bad Between 1.6 and 1.75 Bad Above 1.75 Very Bad

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 7 For the 2021-2024 TIP, a majority of highway projects identified in the TIP and in Appendix D are part of either the Interstate Highway System or the National Highway System. As a result, the mix of projects selected by the Waco MPO for inclusion are anticipated to achieve the recommended system performance targets supported by the Waco MPO Policy Board in April, 2018.

Transit Asset Condition (TAM)

The Transit Asset Condition performance rule (TAM) establishes national performance requirements to assess the condition of regional transit networks relative to a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) definition of State of Good Repair (SGR). SGR is the condition in which a capital asset is able to operate at a full level of performance. The premise of the rule is condition of assets should guide funding prioritization in order to meet the national goal of strategically and systematically maintaining the nation’s transit networks in good condition.

Each year in coordination with the Waco MPO, the Waco Transit System sets asset condition targets for three federally required transit asset performance measures for the regional transportation system. These measures focus on assessing the condition of rolling stock (e.g., buses and passenger vans), the condition of equipment (e.g., maintenance vehicles), and the condition of transit facilities (transit stations, maintenance shops). Currently, the Waco Transit System is the only public transportation operator within the Waco Region required to establish asset condition targets. As a result, the MPO may choose to support the Waco Transit System’s asset condition targets. At the close of each year, the Waco Transit System and the MPO will report on significant progress toward meeting these targets and determine if targets are appropriate.

In February 2020, the Waco MPO resolved to support the Waco Transit System’s 2020 asset condition targets for:

• Percentage of vehicles by type that exceed the Useful Life Benchmark (ULB)* – Table 1.3 • Percentage of maintenance vehicles by type that exceed the ULB - Table 1.3 • Percentage of facilities by group that are rated less than 3.0 on the Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) Scale** – Tables 1.4 and 1.5

Table 1.3 – 2020 Rolling Stock and Equipment Condition Targets – Waco Transit System Fleet Vehicle Type Vehicle Type or Fleet Group % 2020 Target for Exceeding ULB* in 2019 Exceeding ULB Urban Stock Bus 50% 13% Urban Stock Cutaway 100% 50% Urban Stock Van 100% 0% Urban Stock Minivan 100% 20% Urban Stock Automobile 100% 100% Urban Stock Service Vehicle 100% 100% Rural Stock Cutaway 100% 50% Rural Stock Van 100% 60% Rural Stock Minivan 0% 0% Rural Stock Automobile 0% 0% Urban Equipment Utility Vehicle 67% 100% Rural Equipment Supervisor Vehicle 0% 0%

*Useful Life Benchmark (ULB): defined by FTA as the expected amount of time in years that a vehicle type is estimated to function, when acquired new and assuming routine maintenance is practiced.

**Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM Scale): a 5-point scale used by FTA as a tool to assess facility conditions. A transit asset is deemed to be in good repair if it has a TERM rating*** of 3, 4 or 5.

The mix of transit projects selected by the Waco MPO for inclusion in the TIP is intended to support the Waco Transit System in achieving its asset condition targets for the Waco regional transportation system given the availability of necessary funds.

Transit Safety Measures (PTASP)

The Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) rule establishes national performance requirements to assess the effectiveness of efforts by regional transit providers to reduce the likelihood of safety risks and hazards that may affect their transit networks. The objective of the rule is to ensure safety improvements that help transit agencies manage safety risks should guide funding prioritization in order to advance the national goal of maintaining safe transit networks.

Beginning in July, 2020, and in each subsequent year, the Waco Transit System must certify it has a safety plan in place that meets the requirements of the federal rule. As part of PTASP requirements, the transit agency must set safety performance targets in its annual safety plan based on the following safety performance measures that the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has established in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan (NSP):

• Number of fatalities • Fatalities per vehicle revenue miles by mode (fatality rate) • Number of serious injuries (incapacitating injuries) • Serious injuries per vehicle revenue miles by mode (incapacitating injury rate) • Number of safety events • Safety events per vehicle revenue miles by mode (safety event rate) • Mean distance between major mechanical failures by mode

After establishing its safety performance targets, the Waco Transit System will provide its safety targets to the Waco MPO, along with its safety plan. Once received, the Waco MPO will reference those safety targets to inform investment priorities within its metropolitan transportation planning process. The Waco Transit System will report on significant progress toward meeting these targets and determine if targets are appropriate on an annual basis.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 9 In December 2020, the Waco MPO resolved to support the Waco Transit System’s 2020 Agency Safety Plan. Below are the MPO relevant targets identified with the adopted PTASP (5-year averages):

1.9 Air Quality Status

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires all metropolitan areas to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for numerous pollutants, including ozone, nitrous oxides, and particulate matter. Metropolitan areas that meet these standards are considered to be in attainment and are not required to establish control measures to improve air quality. At the time of adoption for the 2021-2024 TIP, the Waco Metropolitan Area was considered to be in attainment for all air pollutants by the EPA.

1.10 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

All projects considered for funding include appropriate provisions for meeting the needs of those with any health limitations. Waco Transit is completely accessible according to the ADA Act and provides complimentary ADA paratransit service for all areas within 3/4 mile of the fixed route service. The ADA paratransit service is provided for those who cannot utilize the fixed route system due to a health limitation.

1.11 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act

A primary goal of the Waco MPO is to ensure that the transportation needs of all people are met and that no one population group must endure a disproportional share of the burdens in meeting those needs. In order to accomplish this goal, the Waco MPO performs an analysis of its plans and programs in order to assess the mobility of traditionally underrepresented groups and to provide an assessment of the impacts of proposed projects upon these groups.

Traditionally two people groups have been underrepresented within McLennan County, Blacks and Hispanics. These groups comprise 14.2% and 25.6% respectively of the population of McLennan County. For the purposes of analysis between benefits and burdens of proposed projects, the staff identified those census block groups with percentages of these respective people groups that were greater than the county average.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 11

On average 19.3% of residents within McLennan County live below the census defined poverty level and 7% of residents have either a self-care or mobility disability. Another 6.5% of occupied housing units within McLennan County do not have access to automobiles. The distribution of these three variables were used to determine the efficacy of efforts to provide travel mode alternatives to the automobile for people groups that have little access to automobiles. Similar to race and ethnicity, those census block groups that were greater than the averages for McLennan County were used for the analysis.

A complete analysis of underrepresented populations may be found within Section 3 of Connections 2045: The Waco Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Projects identified within this TIP are consistent with the evaluations and priorities identified within the MTP.

Limited English Proficiency

The Waco MPO adopted a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan in 2012 to identify the language groups predominately found within the Waco Metropolitan Area for which a significant percentage of the population speaks English less than very well, according to US Census surveys. The LEP plan also identifies the strategies the MPO staff intends to undertake to ensure that these populations have sufficient opportunity to participate in within the transportation planning process. The LEP plan is periodically reviewed to monitor changes to the language groups present in the Waco Metropolitan Area. The development of the 2021-2024 TIP and the identification of recommendations were consistent with the strategies to solicit input from LEP populations identified within the LEP plan.

This section outlines those regionally significant highway projects to be programmed between fiscal years 2021 and 2024. Note that project identifiers correspond to ids found within Connections 2045 – The Waco Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

Grouped Project CSJ Program

The State of Texas groups several types of projects into general categories that are fiscally constrained on a statewide basis. These categories generally cover preventative maintenance, rehabilitation, bridge replacements / rehabilitation and other miscellaneous projects that do not fit within a specific category. Expenditures within these categories are based upon need, which may arise suddenly due to acts of nature, crash damage, etc. Due to the nature of these types of projects, the Waco MPO will participate within the grouped CSJ program and as such the MPO Policy Board automatically approves individual projects within these categories for fiscal years 2021 through 2024.

j H e A c L t s R . m D x d Section 5: Description of Anticipated Effect of TIP projects toward achieving performance targets

Connections 2045: The Waco Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) incorporates into its guiding principles each of the FAST Act required performance targets adopted or supported by the Waco MPO Policy Board at the time of adoption in January, 2020. MPO staff then developed a scoring criteria to evaluate and prioritize each project proposed for the MTP based upon how well the project is forecasted to help accomplish one or more of the regional targets as well as several other metrics identified as being important to the MPO Policy Board. The MTP project selection criteria can be found in Appendix B of the MTP. Projects forecasted to have a more significant positive impact generally score higher and result in a higher priority within the MTP. The highest MTP priorities are then identified within the Short-Range Priorities of the MTP recommendations which represent projects to be implemented by the year 2030. Short-Range priorities, however, are contingent upon sufficient resources being forecasted within the MTP financial forecast. Short-Range priorities are authorized for various project development phases, such as engineering, right of way acquisition and utility relocation. The goal is to have these projects ready for construction or implementation once sufficient funds have been identified. Once formal funding commitments have been made for these projects, inclusion into the TIP is proposed by MPO staff.

The projects proposed for inclusion within the 2021-2024 TIP are consistent with the highest priorities identified within the MTP. These are the projects the MTP evaluation criteria anticipate will have the greatest impact on helping the Waco region achieve its FAST Act targets. In addition, these are the projects which are ready for one or more phases of implementation and have received a formal commitment of funding.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 34 Section 6: Fiscal Constraint and Financial Summary

In order for a project to be included within the TIP, a source of funding must be identified and committed to the project. The Texas Department of Transportation has 12 different funding categories to fund highway projects. Note that the Waco Region is not eligible for certain categories of funding. Table 6.1 identifies the funds available for highways to the Waco MPO Region by funding category and project costs. Categorical projects are fiscally constrained on a statewide basis but not necessarily for each metropolitan area.

Transit projects include all operating funds allocated to Waco Transit and any capital purchases / construction that have received a financial commitment. Table 6.2 identifies the funds available for transit to the Waco MPO Region by category and project cost.

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 41 Appendix B: Glossary

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT OF 1990 (ADA): A federal law mandating changes in building codes, transportation, and hiring practices to prevent discrimination against persons with disabilities. The act applies not just to projects utilizing federal dollars, but all new public places, conveyances, and employers.

CSJ: Control Section Job Number - TxDOT assigned number for projects entered into the Project Development Program (PDP).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT): The U.S. Department of Transportation.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION (FHWA): The agency of U.S. DOT with jurisdiction over highways.

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA): The agency of U.S. DOT with jurisdiction over transit. Formerly the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA).

HIGHWAYS: Term applied to roads, streets, parkways, or expressways and also includes rights of way, bridges, railroad crossings, drainage tunnels, drainage structures, signs, guardrails, and protective structures in connection with highways.

LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS): A statistic used to estimate the level of congestion a particular highway facility is either currently experiencing or is expected to experience in the future. LOS is usually measured by taking the current or projected daily traffic volume and dividing it by the estimated traffic capacity of the highway (see volume to capacity ratio). LOS is then given in terms of the letters A through F where LOS "A" represents free flow conditions and LOS "F" represents extreme congestion during peak driving periods. LOS "F" is defined as a volume to capacity ratio of 1.0 or greater.

METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO): The agency designated by the Governor (or Governors in multi-state areas) to administer the federally required planning process in a metropolitan area with an urbanized area population greater than 50,000. The MPO is responsible for oversight regarding the expenditure of federal transportation funds within the metropolitan area. This oversight is governed by the 25 year metropolitan transportation plan and the transportation improvement program.

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP): A document, formerly known as the Long Range Transportation Plan, which identifies existing and future transportation deficiencies and needs, as well as network improvements needed to meet mobility requirements during the 25 year planning period. To receive federal transportation funds, a project must be included within the MTP and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARD (NAAQS): Federally mandated maximum levels for air pollutants such as ozone, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and lead.

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA): Federal Law which requires the documentation of any and all environmental impacts for any project utilizing federal monies. Any finding of a significant environmental impact requires an assessment of those impacts and the evaluation of alternatives to reduce, mitigate, or eliminate those impacts.

NON-ATTAINMENT AREA: A designation by the Environmental Protection Agency of any place in the United States that fails to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 42

PROJ ID: MPO assigned project identification number.

RIGHT OF WAY (ROW): Land that is either purchased or dedicated for the construction of public improvements (e.g. highways, airports, water or sewer lines, etc.).

SAFE, ACCOUNTABLE, FLEXIBLE AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION EQUITY ACT: A LEGACY FOR USERS (SAFETEA-LU): The reauthorization bill for the Transportation Efficiency Act For The 21st Century (TEA- 21)

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP): One of the key capital programs within Title I of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and continued within TEA-21 and SAFETEA-LU. It provides flexibility in expenditures of funds dedicated for highways for non-motorized and transit modes as well as for transportation enhancements.

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (TxDOT): Agency responsible for construction and maintenance of state highway facilities, oversees the operation of public transit agencies in Texas, and provides oversight for rail, water and air transportation in Texas. TxDOT also oversees the distribution and regulation of planning funds to the MPOs.

TITLE VI, CIVIL RIGHTS ACT: No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURE (TCM): Any measure designed to reduce congestion, emissions, and other traffic problems. These measures are typically implemented in order that a Non- Attainment Area meet the requirements within the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).

Document Path: S:\MPO\TIP\2021-2024 TIP\Readoption_Resubmittal_February 2021\Maps\5 Appendix D Map.mxd Appendix E: Public Involvement Process and Comments

The Waco MPO solicited public input into the draft TIP consistent with requirements identified within the Waco MPO Public Participation Plan. A formal public comment period on the TIP was opened on April 20, 2020 and closed on June 5, 2020. The public comment period was advertised in accordance to requirements identified within the MPO public participation plan.

The draft TIP was uploaded to the MPO website for public review during the formal comment period and was available for viewing at the City of Waco / Dr. Mae Jackson Development Center and at the Waco Transit System Administration Office.

On March 13, 2020, the Governor of Texas issued a Public Health Disaster Declaration to reduce the spread of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the subsequent disease referred to COVID-19. This order was subsequently extended twice to eventually expire on June 15, 2020. Included within the declaration was a requirement that public gatherings of more than 10 persons in one place were not permitted unless specifically exempted or deemed an essential service. In addition, the declaration suspended several provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act to permit public meetings by governmental agencies to be conducted virtually and therefore comply with the public gathering prohibition. The MPO public process was not exempted from the public gathering prohibition nor was considered an essential service under the declaration. As a result of these emergency social distancing requirements, the MPO modified it’s process of soliciting public comment on the draft 2021-2024 TIP to be conducted through exclusively virtual means.

The draft TIP was presented at two virtual public meetings conducted by conference call for the purpose of obtaining public input: • Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 12 noon • Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 5:30 PM

In accordance with the aforementioned social distancing requirements, these meetings were not conducted in-person and participants were instructed to use a conference call number in order to participate. A PowerPoint presentation was created by MPO staff and uploaded to the MPO website in advance of the meetings for members of the public to download and review the presentation materials at their convenience.

Information for accessing these meetings by conference call was made available for viewing online on Friday, May 15, 2020, and through public notices and press releases published beginning on Sunday, May 17 in accordance with noticing requirements identified within the MPO public participation plan.

A draft TIP amendment was presented at one virtual public meeting conducted by conference call for the purpose of obtaining public input: • Monday, January 11, 2021 at 5:30 PM

In accordance with the aforementioned social distancing requirements, this meeting was not conducted in-person and participants were instructed to use a conference call number in order to participate. A PowerPoint presentation was created by MPO staff and uploaded to the

Waco Metropolitan Area Transportation Improvement Program Page 55 MPO website in advance of the meeting for members of the public to download and review the presentation materials at their convenience.

Information for accessing this meeting by conference call was made available for viewing online on Monday, January 4, 2021, and through public notices and press releases published beginning on Sunday, January 3 in accordance with noticing requirements identified within the MPO public participation plan.
