This Cooperative Agreement is made and entered into this ______the day of ______, 2019, by and among the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MMPO) & the West Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO).
Whereas, the U.S. Bureau of Census has identified a tri-state urbanized area of over 1 million population that incorporates portions of the existing planning jurisdictions of MMPO and WMPO and has identified such area as the “Memphis, TN-MS- AR Urbanized Area”.
Whereas, the Federal Regulations require that a MPO be designated to carry out a comprehensive, continuing and coordinated (“3-C”) transportation planning process for urbanized areas with a population of 50,000 or more; and
Whereas, the MMPO, designated by the Governors of Tennessee and Mississippi, and its Transportation Policy Board (TPB) to carry out a continuous, cooperative and comprehensive planning program, as per the provisions of 23 U.S. Code 134 and 49 U.S. Code 5303-06 for the Memphis Urban Area MPO planning area that include parts of areas in Tennessee and Mississippi, including respective portion of the Urbanized Area; and
Whereas, the WMPO, designated by the Governor of Arkansas, and its Policy Committee to carry out a continuous, comprehensive and cooperative transportation planning process for the West Memphis-Marion Area Transportation Study (WMATS), covering the AR portion of the Urbanized area as per the provisions of 23 U.S. Code 134 and 49 U.S. Code 5303- 06; and
Whereas, the MMPO and WMPO actively coordinate transportation planning activities with each other and their respective STATE DOT partners along the border between the States of Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas in their respective jurisdictions; and
Whereas, the MMPO and WMPO coordinate planning activities with each other and their respective State DOT partners to carry out such activities cooperatively so that principal metropolitan area planning products reflect consistency with best practices and with the broader areawide goals; and
Whereas, the MMPO and WMPO in coordination with their respective State DOT partners will continue to develop separate transportation plans, programs and projects including, but not limited to the MMPO Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the WMPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Air Quality Conformity Reports/Analysis and Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP); and
Now, therefore, in consideration of these premises and of their mutual and dependent needs, the parties hereto agree as follow:
1. The MMPO and WMPO hereby agree to continue to actively coordinate planning activities and end products but will develop separate transportation plans, programs and projects, share and coordinate transportation performance data, including monitoring and selecting of targets for their respective planning jurisdiction in accordance with Federal performance measure requirements. This coordination will be achieved by periodic meetings and correspondences between the two agencies, such coordination will include but is not limited to, participating in Interagency Consultation (IAC), attending Technical and/or Board Meetings, coordination related to Federal Performance Measures impacting the tri-state area, special studies/plans that are mutually beneficial to both MPOs.

Page 44 ETC Item: 4 FINAL February 2019
2. The MMPO and WMPO, in coordination with their respective State DOT partners, will continue to develop separate transportation plans, programs and projects including, but not limited to the MMPO Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the WMPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Air Quality Conformity Reports/Analysis and Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The planning assumptions such as funding scenarios, growth projections, traffic assumptions, air quality assumptions will be based on the individual MPO boundary. Additionally, when a project crosses the MPO boundary, each MPO will coordinate with their respective State DOTs to ensure consistent planning assumptions for an or any individual project.
3. The WMPO, including the Crittenden County area outside the WMPO planning area, and the MMPO will coordinate their respective air quality conformity analyses and determinations by involvement through each of the MPO’s respective Interagency Consultation Committee (IAC). Additionally, WMPO will follow conformity requirements as established by Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) through their air quality State Implementation Plan (SIP) and MMPO will follow conformity requirements as established by Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) through their air quality SIP in Tennessee portion of non-attainment area and follow Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) through their air quality SIP in Mississippi portion of non- attainment area.
4. The MMPO and WMPO will participate in each other’s Federal Certification Process.
5. In the event of a proposed transportation investment that extends across the boundaries of MMPO and WMPO, the funding for the project will be accounted for in the TIP/STIP and the RTP/MTP of the respective MPOs depending upon the lead agency. If needed, the Interagency Consultation process will be followed to ensure compliance with the air quality conformity process.
6. That the MMPO and WMPO hereby agree to provide notification to each other of any planning and related events and activities that may have significant bearing upon the outcome of transportation system development across the Tri- State multi-modal transportation system.
7. That the MMPO and WMPO hereby agree to resolve conflicts that may arise by decision of a committee consisting of the Administrator of MMPO, the Study Director of WMPO, MMPO Policy Board Chairman and WMPO Policy Committee Chairman, TDOT MMPO Representative, ARDOT WMPO Representative and MDOT MMPO Representative.

THE MEMPHIS URBAN AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION
The Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (Memphis MPO) was created in 1977 and has the lead responsibility to ensure that the transportation planning process is being carried out in accordance with fed‐ eral and state regulations. Federal regulations require that an MPO be designated to carry out a comprehensive, continuing and cooperative transportation planning process for urbanized areas (as de ined by the U.S. Bureau of Census) with a population of 50,000 or more.
As a result of the recently completed boundary expansion study, the Memphis MPO expanded its boundaries and is now comprised of eighteen cities or towns and four counties (Figure 1). The MPO boundary includes all of Shel‐ by County and a portion of western Fayette County in Tennessee. The boundary also includes all of DeSoto Coun‐ ty and a portion of western Marshall County in Mississippi (Figure 1). The boundary expansion was approved by the Transportation Policy Board (TPB) in November 2013 and later approved by the governors of both Mississip‐ pi and Tennessee in January 2014.
The Memphis and Shelby County Department of Regional Services (DRS) serves as staff for the Memphis MPO un‐ der the direction of the MPO’s Transportation Policy Board (TPB). The Memphis MPO also has ive advisory com‐ mittees namely, Engineering and Technical Committee (ETC), Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC), Interagency Consultation Committee (IAC), Freight Advisory Committee (FAC), and the Planning and Land Use Advisory Committee (PLAC). The organizational chart that follows shows the role of the different federal, state, regional and local agencies in the Memphis MPO’s planning process (Figure 2).

Section II: About the UPWP
Page 73 Section II: About the UPWP ETC Item: 6 Page 9 THE UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM
The Uni ied Planning Work Program (UPWP) outlines transportation planning priorities and work tasks for the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Fiscal Years 2018‐19 (FY 2018‐19). The Fis‐ cal Years 2018‐19, based on the federal iscal year, begin October 1, 2017, and end September 30, 2019.
Preparation of the UPWP is required by the federal transportation legislation. The latest federal transportation legislation is the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST), which was signed into law on December 4, 2015. The UPWP is also a requirement of the Metropolitan Planning Code of Federal Regulations (23CFR 450.308) of the United States Department of Transportation. The UPWP must present a continuing, cooperative, and com‐ prehensive (the “3C”) approach to transportation planning activities. The UPWP is prepared with cooperation and guidance from federal, state, and local agencies, as well as state & public transportation operators. The vari‐ ous funding sources from which the Memphis MPO receives funding for transportation planning are listed in Sec‐ tion IV: UPWP Funding.
The UPWP is one of three key documents the Memphis MPO is required to develop and maintain for its planning area. The other key documents are the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
PLANNING FACTORS & FEDERAL INITIATIVES
The 23 CFR 450.306 speci ies ten (10) planning factors that must be considered in developing transportation plans, including the consideration and implementation of projects, strategies, and services. They are:
Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and ef iciency;
Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non‐motorized users;
Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non‐motorized users;
Increase accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight;
Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life and pro‐ mote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and econom‐ ic development patterns;
Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system— across and between modes— for people and for freight;
Promote ef icient system management and operation, including planning for operations; and
Emphasize preservation of the existing transportation system.
Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater im‐ pacts of surface transportation; and
Enhance travel and tourism.

E. AIR QUALITY & CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
PURPOSE
In recognition of the negative externalities imposed by automobiles on air pollution, The Clean Air Act requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for “criteria pollutants,” which include carbon mon‐ oxide, ozone, lead, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.
On April 8, 2016 a inal ruling was published in the Federal Register (81 FR 20543) re‐designating the portion of Mississippi within the TN‐MS‐AR 2008 8 hour ozone nonattainment area to attainment area. The inal ruling was effective on May 9, 2016. On April 19, 2016 the proposal to re‐designate Shelby County to maintenance area was published in the federal register (81 FR 22948) with a 30 day comment period ending on May 19, 2016. The inal rule for the re‐designation to attainment was published on June 23, 2016 ((81 FR 40816), with an effective date of July 25, 2016. The West Memphis MPO is responsible for demonstrating conformity of the NAAQS for Crittenden County.
In 1978, the EPA designated Memphis, TN, a moderate (less than 12.7 parts per million) non‐attainment area for carbon monoxide (CO). Due to improvements in ambient air quality, EPA redesignated Shelby County to attain‐ ment for the CO standard on August 31, 1994 (See Figure 4). Since then Shelby County, TN entered into two 10‐ year maintenance periods. After the irst 10 year period, Shelby County, TN was redesignated as a maintenance area with the second maintenance period scheduled to end in 2017.
Tasks within this section are intended to monitor and assist the non‐attainment and maintenance portion of the Memphis MPO planning area so that it conforms to the NAAQS by evaluating the impacts of transportation im‐ provements and congestion management strategies and to insure that the transportation plans and programs conform to the purpose of the State Implementation Plan (SIP).

FUNDING SOURCES FOR PLANNING ACTIVITIES
Following are the funding sources that were used for planning activities in this UPWP:
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION (FHWA) Funds:
METROPOLITAN PLANNING FUNDS (PL‐Section 112):
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) annually allocates PL funding to all the MPOs in the nation for MPO planning related activities. These federal planning funds require local matching funds of 20% which is typically provided by local governments. The PL funds are used for paying MPO staff salaries, various MPO’s plans or studies etc. STATE PLANNING AND RESEARCH FUNDS (SPR):
This is another source of federal funds that are allocated under the FHWA’s State Planning & Research Program and these funds are administered by the Mississippi and Tennessee Departments of Transportation (DOTs). This fund requires a 20% match that may be provided either by the state DOT or by local jurisdictions. FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA) FUNDS ‐ Section 5303:
These are federal funds designated for planning activities that support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, increase the safety and security of the transportation system, increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight, protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns, enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, promote ef icient system management and operation and inally emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. These funds also require 20% match which are typically divided between state and local government, with each contributing 10%. FUNDS CARRIED OVER FROM FY 2017 TO FY 2018 ‐ 19:
For Tennessee, the total amount of FHWA PL‐Section 112 funds carried over from FY 2017 is estimated to be $2,536,899 and the estimated allocation for FY 2018‐19 is $1,965,022. For Mississippi, the total amount of FHWA PL‐Section 112 funds carried over from FY 2017 is estimated to be 417,832 and the estimated allocation for FY 2018‐19 is $500,090. For Mississippi FTA Section 5303 funds, the carryover amount is estimated to be $112,586 and the estimated allocation for FY 2018‐19 is $138,394. CONSOLIDATED PLANNING GRANT (CPG):
Tennessee receives a direct apportionment of FHWA Section 112 Metropolitan planning (PL) funds and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 planning funds. TDOT participates in the Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) Program, where FHWA and FTA planning funds are combined into a single fund administered by FHWA. The funds are distributed to the MPOs and administered by TDOT’s LRPD in accordance with 23 CFR 420.109. The PL distribution formula gives each MPO a base amount plus an amount based on their 2010 Census Urbanized Area Population and the formula also retains a small portion for TDOT to use for the bene it of all the MPOs. The distribution formula for the 5303 funds is based on each MPO’s 2010 Census Urbanized Area Population. The funds originating with FHWA require a 20% local match, resulting in an 80% Federal/20% Local split. The funds originating with FTA also require 20% matching funds. TDOT provides half of the match, resulting in an 80% Federal/10% State/10% Local split.

APPENDIX A: OTHER STUDIES
The following is a list of other studies currently underway by the partner agencies:
1. City of Memphis Comprehensive Plan: Memphis 3.0 - Cost $1.8 million (Private funds) 2. Memphis Area Transit Agency (MATA): • MATA Strategic Plan –Cost $55,000 (MATA operating fund) • MATA Communications Plan –Cost $70,000 (Private non-profit fund) 3. Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) - Multimodal Corridor Study. The purpose of the Multimodal Corridor Study is to identify short-and long-term solutions for improving problem spots along entire corridors. The results will provide a prioritized listing of potential multimodal pro- jects that can be considered by TDOT or by local planning organizations. Interstates 55, 75 & 26 and 40 & 81 have been classified in the Tennessee Long-Range Transportation Plan as routes critical to statewide mobility and regional connectivity. The Plan classified routes needing improvement, while protecting and maximizing capacity over the next decade. The studies will also investigate a range of multimodal solutions to address future travel demands, with emphases on managing congestion, improving safety, maximizing the potential for freight diversion and preserving/ enhancing the corridors’ economic benefits. Both technical analysis and input from local officials and individuals are needed to provide as much data as possible (https://www.tn.gov/tdot/projects/transportation-studies.html). These studies will be completed in 18-months. The Interstate 55/75/26 Multimodal Corridor Study expected to be completed by March, 2020 and was budgeted for $1.8 million with $1,440,000 SPR funds and $360,000 state funds. The Interstate 40/81 Multimodal Corridor Study is expected to be completed in June, 2020, and was budgeted for $2.5 million with $2 million SPR funds and $500,000 state funds.
