4. Special Announcement

At the September 24, 2019 CCMPO Coordinating Committee meeting, Karen L. Michael, P.E., District Executive for PennDOT Engineering District 2-0, announced that she would be retiring from PennDOT on January 24, 2020.

Karen began her career with PennDOT in 1981 and held many positions in the District 2-0 Design Unit, including serving as the Assistant District Executive for Design. Karen was appointed as the District Executive on May 11, 2016.

Serving in the Design Unit and as District 2-0’s representative on the CCMPO Technical and Coordinating Committees for many years, Karen was the key point of contact for transportation planning efforts and projects involving the CCMPO. Karen has been a vocal advocate for involvement by the CCMPO Committees and staff in the planning and delivery of PennDOT projects and has always exhibited a high level of respect for elected officials and staff at the federal, state, county, and local levels. Her positive approach and “can-do” attitude will be missed!

On behalf of the Committee members and staff, we thank Karen for her efforts and wish her the best of luck in retirement, and with all her future endeavors!

5. 2020 Meeting Schedule

CRPA Principal Transportation Planner Tom Zilla directed the Committee’s attention to the proposed 2020 meeting schedule included in the agenda. He explained that the Coordinating Committee traditionally meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month in which meetings are scheduled because there are no conflicts with meetings of municipal governing bodies or other regional organizations. During 2020, meetings are proposed to be held in January, February, March, April, June, September, and November; however, Mr. Zilla noted that the meetings in February and March are marked as optional, meaning these meetings may or may not be needed, depending on the preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Long Range Transportation Program (LRTP). Mr. Zilla also noted that the November Technical Committee meeting was moved to November 4, 2020 due to the Veteran’s Day holiday.

(After the meeting, staff was notified that Tuesday, April 28, 2020, the scheduled date for the April Coordinating Committee meeting, falls on the Pennsylvania Primary Voting Day. Staff is working with Patton Township to reschedule this meeting and will present the proposed days to the Committee in January.)

Mr. Bernier entertained a motion to approve the 2020 meeting schedule included in the agenda.

Motion was made by Mr. Eich, seconded by Mr. Hampton to approve the 2020 meeting. The motion carried 16-0 (Mr. Higgins was in attendance for this vote).

6. I-80/I-99 Interchanges Construction Schedule

Mr. Zilla stated that in 2009 and 2010, the CCMPO discussed the potential construction staging schedule for the I-80/Route 26 Section A18 Local Access Interchange and the Route 26 (Jacksonville Road) Betterment projects in Marion Township. The Route 26 Betterment project consists of improvements to Jacksonville Road between the I-80/I-99 Section B18 High Speed Interchange and the Local Access Interchange. At that time, members of the CCMPO Coordinating Committee supported Marion Township’s request that the Local Access Interchange not be opened to traffic until after the Route 26 Betterment was completed. Although the Coordinating Committee did not adopt this position through a formal motion, minutes of several meetings during that time period indicate that members supported the CCMPO Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Page 3

Township’s request. Mr. Zilla stated that included in the agenda is a table summarizing prior discussions by the CCMPO regarding the staging of construction for the Local Access Interchange.

Mr. Zurat communicated that the Local Access Interchange project is scheduled for a bid letting in spring 2020, with construction to begin in summer 2020. The Route 26 Betterment project is scheduled for a bid letting in spring 2022. PennDOT has developed a new construction staging plan for construction of the projects. Referring to construction staging maps on his PowerPoint, Mr. Zurat explained that the new plan will maintain access to I-80 in the area of Exit 161 through the duration of the construction period for the High Speed Interchange. During the construction of the High Speed Interchange, several temporary ramps and roads will be constructed to allow travelers onto both sides of I-80 from I-99, as well as access to Route 26. Because access to I-80 will be maintained at Exit 161, PennDOT is now proposing to open the Local Access Interchange prior to completion of the Route 26 Betterment project. The new staging plan will allow traffic to use I-80 to bypass Route 26 while the Betterment project is under construction. It was also noted that the Route 26 Betterment project will require additional right-of-way to widen the existing road. Mr. Zurat stated that Marion Township will have the opportunity to review it once the plan has been finalized.

In response to a question from Ms. Lafer, Mr. Zurat clarified that the A18 Local Access Interchange project will be bid in May of 2020 and will most likely be open to motorists end of 2022 but possibly not until early 2023. The B18 High Speed Interchange and the Route 26 (Jacksonville Road) Betterment project will be bid together in 2022; however, major construction will not start until the Local Access Interchange is open. The Route 26 Betterment project should be open to traffic by end of year 2023. The High Speed Interchange construction will not be completed until some time in 2025. There will be at least two miles of full depth reconstruction on I-80 near the Local Access interchange, and the Route 26 Betterment project is just over two miles of work. The High Speed Interchange has several bridges and several retaining walls that will be constructed, so while there is not a lot of miles in this project, it is a very complex project.

In response to a comment from Mr. Bernier, Mr. Zurat communicated that creating temporary roads alongside the current I-99 infrastructure was very tricky, but PennDOT did not want to push traffic onto Routes 26 or 64.

In response to a question from Ms. Spencer, Mr. Zurat explained that the environmental issues related to the Local Access Interchange project include the preservation of the Indiana Bat species. Many of the trees in the surrounding area of the Local Access Interchange will be cut down and removed, so a plan is in place to preserve the bat population.

In response to a question from Ms. Reese, Mr. Zurat explained that during the planning and development of this project, PennDOT staff discussed how to address winter and freezing conditions for the new bridges after the High Speed Interchanges have been constructed. Mr. Zurat explained that there were two options to mitigate this issue: bridge sprayers and high friction surfaces. PennDOT chose the latter because the high friction surface is low cost and is made with a different type of aggregate that is mixed with epoxy, which creates a surface that is high friction. PennDOT regularly uses this type of aggregate with epoxy on all new bridges. The bridge sprayers were ruled out because they are only effective when it is 15 degrees and above, and with Pennsylvania winters and the elevation of the bridges, PennDOT did not believe this type of mitigation would be effective. PennDOT will be putting the high friction surfaces on all the bridges and ramps for this project.

In response to a question from Mr. Johnson regarding the current Musser Lane intersection with I-99 North, Mr. Zurat explained that access from Musser Lane to I-99 North would be available by a temporary right in/right out only. Access to I-99 South would not be available during the construction. Once the relocated section of Jacksonville Road is constructed, a full access for Musser Lane would then be installed. CCMPO Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Page 4

In response to a question from Mr. Eich, Mr. Zurat clarified that the two bridges on I-80 that span over the current Jacksonville Road will be reconstructed during this project.

There was a brief discussion about having a company remove the trees around the Local Access Interchange in March of 2020 before the bid for the actual project goes out. Mr. Zurat stated that because of the complexity of the work involving the removal of the trees, it is not possible to bid the tree removal portion separate from the overall project.

Motion was made by Dr. Spychalski and seconded by Ms. Lafer to concur with PennDOT’s new construction staging plan for the I-80/Route 26 Local Access Interchange and the Route 26 Betterment project. The motion carried 16-0.

7. Centre County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 20450

a. Transportation “Futures” Topics Presentation

As part of the development of the new LRTP 2050, MPO staff is preparing policy papers addressing topics associated with emerging transportation modes and future means of travel. The policy papers are intended to foster discussion by the CCMPO Committees, potentially leading to the inclusion of items in the LRTP Action Plan to implement projects associated with the topics.

Mr. Kausch provided the Technical Committee with a presentation regarding the remaining three topics: • First mile-last mile of trips • Electric vehicles • Automated vehicles

Mr. Kausch explained regarding first mile-last mile trips, Centre County and CATA have worked together to develop a relationship regarding site plan reviews that strengthen the already well-developed bicycle and pedestrian network. Actions and planning implications include focusing on multi-modalism, funding, encouraging appropriate density within development proposals, and an analysis of cost versus benefit. Potential future developments of first mile-last mile trips include incorporating electric scooters, expanding car and bike-share programs, and enhancing cooperation with transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft.

Mr. Kausch stated that in Centre County there is limited charging infrastructure for electric vehicles; however, the market share for electric vehicle companies has continued to grow. Actions and planning implications include additional charging infrastructure, funding, possible incentives, and performance metrics (emissions). Regarding electric vehicles, potential future developments include a greater appeal and market share and propulsion of public transit vehicles.

Lastly, Mr. Kausch spoke about connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Although there is little to no experience of connected and automated vehicles in Centre County, the County hosted the first Automated Vehicle Summit, and is home to Penn State University’s automated vehicle test track, PennSTART. Actions and planning implications include the potential of increased roadway congestion, the interaction of pedestrians and bicycles, vehicle accessibility, availability of data to local officials, and local regulations. Potential future developments of CAVs include the expansion of Penn State University’s testing track, PennSTART; advancement of technology capability; and the potential of a TNC partnership.

Ms. Lafer communicated that she attended that National League of Cities Conference and had the opportunity to ride an autonomous shuttle. There is typically a “driver” present on the shuttle, however, they use a computer that helps drive the shuttle. Regarding the first mile-last mile topic, autonomous shuttles could accommodate every single house in town because of the advanced technology. The shuttle is not cheap, but it can be all-accessible for elderly people or those with disabilities. Ms. Lafer stated that CCMPO Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Page 5

she learned there is a university that uses an automated shuttle on campus, and automated shuttle companies are currently testing the abilities of the shuttle while traveling in snow. Ms. Lafer communicated that she is positive that these automated shuttles could work well with the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) and throughout the County. Ms. Lafer believes that with the shuttle’s ability to close the gap in first mile-last mile considerations, this type of technology might be closer in the County than previously thought.

b. Long Range Transportation Program 2050 Status Report

Mr. Zilla communicated that now that the County has hired Ms. Messner as the new Senior Transportation Planner, preparation for the adoption of the new 2050 LRTP is underway with the consultant on board helping with the technical side of the LRTP. One of the challenges that MPO staff faces is the focus on data-driven planning, which has been a directive handed down from the Federal Government. These directives include performance measures related to safety, roadway and bridge performance, transit performance, and asset management. Past LRTP plans have focused on the input that MPO staff gathered from constituents at the County and municipal levels, in addition to the development of the list of projects that come out of the LRTP. Mr. Zilla went onto say that since MPO staff have conducted and participated in 51 LRTP meetings, the data has been gathered and the consultant has been sifting through all of the requirements, the conditions of the current system, and how that information drives decision making for the LRTP. In addition, another emphasis has been stakeholder involvement and that was achieved with the 51 stakeholder meetings that took place throughout 2018 and 2019. With all the data collected, MPO staff and the consultant will be able to create a visual picture using GIS software to show where the needs and issues are from both a data-driven perspective and a constituent perspective.

Mr. Zilla stated that the consultant will be hosting workshops for the Technical and Coordinating Committee members sometime in December or January. A second set of workshops will be conducted sometime in the spring which will focus on needs and issues within the LRTP.

Mr. Zilla continued to say that in terms of the schedule, MPO staff had a goal of adopting the new LRTP in June of 2020; however, that timeline is not promising and the new LRTP will most likely be adopted in September 2020.

There was a brief discussion regarding workshop meeting dates in December and January for the Technical and Coordinating Committees to meet with the consultant on the LRTP 2050 preparation. Staff will send out a doodle poll in the next few weeks to select the best day for both Committees.

8. 2021-2024 Centre County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): Highway and Bridge Projects Being Considered for the Preliminary Draft TIP

Mr. Zilla stated that there have been substantial challenges involved with the preparation of the 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) because the base funding allocation for the new TIP has been substantially reduced compared to the funding allocations for the current TIP.

To date, top priority has been given to ensuring full funding for the Route 64/550 intersection safety project in Walker Township and the Route 26 Betterment project (between the High Speed and Local Access Interchanges) in Marion Township.

Efforts are being made to fully fund the Route 26/45 intersection safety project in Ferguson Township. Because National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) funding cannot be used for the Route 64/550 and Route 26/45 safety projects, and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding is limited, there are challenges associated with fully funding this project.

Efforts are being made to fully fund the Atherton Street Section 153 (Curtin Road to Westerly Parkway) Drainage/Repaving project. However, with an estimated need for over $8 million for the construction CCMPO Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Page 6

phase, a substantial portion of the NHPP allocation and the State 581 Highway Funds allocation would have to be committed to this project. This would reduce the NHPP funding available for bridges and limit the amount of 581 funding that is available to match federal funding on other highway and bridge projects.

High priority has been given to funding bridge projects that are carrying over from the current TIP. Because of the reduction in the overall funding allocation, there are significant limitations on the ability to include new bridge preservation and replacement projects. Although one new local bridge project in Liberty Township was proposed by the MPO staff, funding limitations will likely prevent the inclusion of funds on the TIP to start this project.

There was a brief discussion regarding the Phoenix Avenue/Route 150 intersection. Mr. Zurat explained that this intersection is more of a congestion issue, which can cause safety issues; however, at the Routes 26/150 intersection, there have been serious and fatal deaths. Mr. Zurat communicated that he and Mr. Zilla have been in contact with Bellefonte Borough and Spring Township regarding this project area.

In response to a question from Ms. Lafer regarding the drainage systems near College and Beaver Avenues on Atherton Street, Mr. Zurat explained that these drainage systems are not in as bad of shape compared to the drainage systems in the earlier phases of the Atherton Street project, which is why PennDOT phased the project they way they did. The worst sections of drainage systems were in the phase that was just recently completed. Mr. Zurat went on to say that there are very limited drainage facilities near College and Beaver Avenues, but part of the plan to mitigate that issue is to increase the number of inlets and cross pipes. This plan conflicts with the current water and sewer lines, but it is also the reason that PennDOT would like to complete this work at the same time with the State College Borough Water Authority (SCBWA) and the University Area Joint Authority (UAJA) present.

Mr. Eich expressed that the community might appreciate the break in construction on Atherton Street this summer, since PennDOT does not have any construction plans for the next section of Atherton Street (Curtin Road to Westerly Parkway) until 2021. Mr. Zilla stated that while PennDOT does not have any plans for construction in 2020, there may be some utility relocation work this summer to prepare for the construction activities in 2021. Ms. Lafer communicated that she would rather see utility relocations take place in 2021 before the construction phase of Atherton Street, than have utility relocations take place in 2020 where the road will have to be dug back up in 2021.

Ms. Strickland expressed her appreciation for the Routes 26/45 intersection safety project being on the 2021-2024 TIP. She went on to say that this issue is ongoing, and the Township has received more frequent concerns from residents regarding the lack of safety at this intersection. The congestion on Shingletown Road is increasing and will only continue to increase with developments coming online in the next few years.

9. Member Reports

Mr. Smoker communicated that the Federal Government passed a resolution to fund Federal Government activities until December 20, 2019.

Mr. Decker announced that the Potter Township Roadmaster will be retiring after 37 years of service.

Ms. Spencer announced that Ms. Susan Steel will be retiring in February 2020, so Halfmoon Township is looking for a new Township Manager. The Township hopes to have a new manager in place by January 2020.

Ms. Reese expressed her thanks to the CCMPO for its support and the County for its funding support in helping with the local share for the bridge replacement in Worth Township over Ardery Hollow Run. CCMPO Coordinating Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Page 7

Mr. Bloom communicated that on December 2, 2019, the County will begin the process in selecting finalists for the 2020 Liquid Fuels allocations. The final action will take place at a later meeting.

10. Announcements

Mr. Bernier directed the Committee’s attention to agenda item number three under Announcements. He stated that included in the agenda is correspondence from Harris Township seeking the CCMPO’s support and assistance in addressing safety concerns along Route 45 (Shingletown Road) between the Harris/Ferguson Township boundary and Windmill Road near the Village of Boalsburg. Specifically, the Township wishes to have PennDOT reduce the speed limit on Route 45 (Shingletown Road) from 55 mph to 45 mph.

Mr. Harden communicated that the speed limit on Shingletown Road and Route 322 has become a huge safety issue. Harris Township has grown 19% over the last 5 years, and the Township has seen a lot more private driveways and development entrances along this corridor. In 2019 alone, there has been 34 crashes on Route 322 from the Harris Township line to the Route 322 ramp. Mr. Harden requested that the Committee consider placing this topic on the January 28, 2020 Coordinating Committee agenda for further discussion.

Mr. Bernier stated that there would need to be a consensus to invite Harris Township and PennDOT to provide further information on this issue. The Coordinating Committee provided consensus to add this item of discussion onto its January 28, 2020 agenda.

The next Technical Committee meeting is Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 9:30 AM at the College Township Municipal Building, and the next Coordinating Committee meeting is Tuesday, January 28, 2019 at 6:00 PM at the COG Building in the General Forum Room.

As this was the last meeting of the year, Mr. Bernier thanked the CCMPO members for another great year thanked them for representing their own municipalities as well as supporting CCMPO activities as a group. Mr. Bernier thanked the MPO staff for their dedication and drive in making the County a better place to live and work. Lastly, Mr. Bernier thanked Mr. Smoker for his attendance at every CCMPO meeting and thanked PennDOT for its support to the CCMPO.

11. Adjournment

There being no further business, the November 26, 2019 CCMPO Coordinating Committee meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Marcella Laird Recording Secretary

ITEM 7

FY 2020-22 UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM (UPWP)

Review Draft UPWP for Adoption

Adopting the UPWP is one of the key federally mandated responsibilities of the CCMPO. The UPWP lists policy actions required of the CCMPO, and staff work tasks to be completed by PennDOT, CRPA, CATA, and the CCPCDO on behalf of the MPO. In Pennsylvania, the UPWP covers a two-year period based on the state fiscal year (July 1, 2020 - June 30,2022).

A new process is being implemented for preparation of the FY 2020-22 UPWP, which includes additional content and format changes. The CCMPO must adopt the FY 2020-22 UPWP no later than January 31, 2020.

In September 2019, MPO staff provided a presentation about the new process and potential priority planning tasks. Most of the priority tasks included in the current FY 2018-20 UPWP have been carried forward to the new UPWP. In addition, two new tasks of note are included in the Draft FY 2020-22 UPWP:

• Page 17 – under Task II.A. Long Range Transportation Planning Prepare a Strategic Plan for the future operations of the CCMPO Committees and staff • Page 28 – under Task IV.A. Key Projects State College Area Connector Project

For the new UPWP, base funding will increase by approximately 5% from the current UPWP.

Current New New UPWP FY 2018-20 FY 2020-22 FY 2020-22 Funding UPWP UPWP UPWP

(annual amount) (Year 1 amount) (Year 2 amount) Base federal/state $196,000 $212,000 $204,000 highway funding Base federal $77,250 $84,000 $80,000 transit funding

Beyond the base allocation of funding provided by PennDOT, supplemental planning funds are periodically distributed through a statewide competitive process. No projects are proposed for supplemental funding at this time, but may be requested in the future.

Attached is:

• Draft FY 2020-22 UPWP

The Technical Committee has recommended adoption of the FY 2020-22 UPWP.

The Coordinating Committee should receive a staff presentation and consider taking action to adopt the FY 2020-22 UPWP.

Action: Adopt the FY 2020-22 UPWP.

JANUARY 28, 2020 MEETING

ITEM 8.a.

PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING

Annual Update of Safety Performance Targets

In 2017, PennDOT developed initial performance targets for the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) performance measures. PennDOT is required to update the targets annually. By federal rule, the CCMPO has 180 days from the date when PennDOT establishes its annual targets to either support PennDOT’s targets or establish its own quantifiable targets.

For the initial target setting in November 2017 and the annual update in November 2018, the CCMPO supported PennDOT’s targets.

Attached is:

• November 5, 2019 correspondence from PennDOT detailing the statewide performance targets for 2020 and the CCMPO’s individual targets, if the MPO supports PennDOT’s targets.

The CCMPO must establish targets by February 27, 2020.

The Technical Committee has recommended that the CCMPO support PennDOT’s targets, noting that the MPO does not have the staff resources and technical capacity to establish and monitor its own individual targets.

The Coordinating Committee should receive a staff presentation, and consider taking action to support PennDOT’s targets for HSIP performance measures.

Presented by: Tom Zilla, CRPA

Action: Formally support PennDOT’s 2020 targets for the five HSIP performance measures.

Charts illustrating the most recent annual data for fatalities and serious injuries in Centre County are illustrated on the next page.

PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING

Annual Reports about Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plans for CATA and Centre County Office of Transportation

Federal rulemaking required all public transit operators to develop a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan by October 1, 2018, and to share the TAM Plan with states and MPOs. States and MPOs are not required to approve the TAM Plans.

In Centre County, the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) and the Centre County Office of Transportation Services (CCOT) are subject to the federal rule. In 2018, CATA prepared an individual TAM Plan, and the CCOT was included in a statewide TAM Group Plan prepared by PennDOT. The TAM Plans were shared with the CCMPO in October 2018. Both TAM Plans include performance targets and specify a reporting process to assess progress in meeting the targets.

In November 2018, the CCMPO approved and executed agreements with CATA and the CCOT to formalize each organization’s responsibilities for cooperatively developing and sharing information related to transportation performance data, including the selection of targets and documenting progress toward meeting the TAM Plan targets. The agreements require the annual reporting of information related to the performance targets. CATA and PennDOT provided annual performance information to the MPO staff in fall 2019.

Attached is:

• Summary information about the annual TAM reports for CATA and the CCOT

Staff will not provide a formal presentation, but will respond to questions from the Committee.

The Coordinating Committee should provide any questions to MPO staff.

Summary of Information Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plans for CATA and CCOT CCMPO Coordinating Committee – 1/28/2020

• Performance measurement required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to support safety and reliability of service, while moderating purchase and maintenance costs

• Both CATA and the Centre County Office of Transportation (CCOT) are required to either maintain their own TAM plan, or participate in a statewide plan administered by PennDOT

• TAM requirements cover three primary asset categories: rolling stock, equipment, and facilities

• Each year, individual plans and the statewide plan must assess performance in the previous year, and set new targets for the upcoming year; typically completed in August-September

• In Pennsylvania, the basis for measuring performance and setting targets is:

▪ Estimated useful life (age and mileage) ▪ PennDOT’s capital planning tool, which rates assets on a scale of 1 (asset replacement or rehabilitation required) to 5 (new or nearly new asset with no defects)

• Relevant examples of estimated useful life include:

▪ Large, heavy duty transit buses: 12 years or 500,000 miles ▪ Light duty vehicles: 4 years or 100,000 miles ▪ Facilities: generally 40 years

• CCOT participates in the statewide TAM plan:

▪ Previous year’s targets were that no more than 44% of cutaways and no more than 62% of vans exceed their estimated useful life ▪ During 2019, almost 63% of cutaways and 100% of vans were above standard; CCOT is performing favorably compared to the statewide average, and the new TIP is structured to provide additional support ▪ For the upcoming year, statewide targets are that no more than 39% of cutaways and no more than 63% of vans exceed their estimated useful life; not too much movement in statewide averages, but some improvement in overall asset condition

• CATA maintains its own individual TAM plan, as do five other agencies throughout Pennsylvania:

▪ Previous year’s targets were that no more than 15% of buses and cutaways, and no more than 25% of cars, trucks, and vans (equipment) exceed their estimated useful life; no more than 20% of facilities are rated below a “3” in the capital planning tool ▪ Targets remain the same for the upcoming year ▪ Between 2018 and 2019, the percentage of buses and cutaways exceeding their estimated useful life dropped from about 49% to about 38%, the percentage of cars, trucks, and vans exceeding their estimated useful life dropped from almost 24% to under 22%, and no facilities are rated below a “3” in the capital planning tool ▪ CATA has made a great deal of progress in improving the state of repair of its fleet vehicles, and the new TIP is structured to support further progress

• Transit safety performance measure requirements will be rolled out in 2020 JANUARY 28, 2020 MEETING

ITEM 9

HARRIS TOWNSHIP REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE ROUTE 45 WEST SPEED LIMIT

Receive Presentations from Harris Township and PennDOT District 2-0

At its November 26, 2019 meeting, the CCMPO Coordinating Committee received correspondence from Harris Township requesting the MPO’s support and assistance in addressing safety concerns along Route 45 (Shingletown Road) between the Harris/Ferguson Township boundary and Windmill Road near the Village of Boalsburg. Specifically, Harris Township wishes to have PennDOT reduce the speed limit on Route 45 (Shingletown Road) from 55 mph to 45 mph.

The CCMPO Chair, in consultation with the Coordinating Committee, determined that the request should be included on the January MPO Committee agendas for discussion.

At the meeting, representatives from Harris Township and PennDOT District 2-0 will provide more information about the topic.

Attached are:

• November 12, 2019 correspondence from Harris Township • Summary of legal requirements for establishment of speed limits in PA • Summary of comments and questions from the CCMPO Technical Committee

The Coordinating Committee should receive the presentations, discuss the Technical Committee’s comments, and consider policy and staff activities that could be taken to respond to the Township’s request.

Presented by: Tom Zilla, CRPA Amy Farkas, Harris Township Manager Tom Zurat, PennDOT District 2-0

Action: Consider policy and staff activities that could be taken to respond to Harris Township’s request for assistance.

Summary of Legal Requirements for Establishment of Speed Limits in PA Citation Requirements PA Title 75 Alterations of Maximum Limits: Section 3363 The Department of Transportation, under the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation, may establish a reasonable and safe maximum speed.

PA Title 75 Enumeration of Police Powers: Section 6109 (a) Subsection (10) – Allows for altering and establishing speed limits as authorized in Chapter 33 related to speed restrictions.

PA Title 67 Speed Limits Chapter 212.108 (a) - General. This section applies to maximum speed limits established according to 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 3362 and 3363 (relating to maximum speed limits; and alteration of maximum limits).

(b) - Engineering and traffic studies. Speed limits established in accordance with 75 Pa.C.S. § 3363 may be established in multiples of 5 miles per hour up to the maximum lawful speed. The speed limit should be within 5 miles per hour of the average 85th percentile speed or the safe-running speed on the section of highway, except the speed limit may be reduced up to 10 miles per hour below either of these values if one or more of the following conditions are satisfied:

• (1) A major portion of the highway has insufficient stopping sight distance if traveling at the 85th percentile speed or the safe-running speed. • (2) The available corner sight distance on side roads is less than the necessary stopping sight distance values for through vehicles. • (3) The majority of crashes are related to excessive speed and the crash rate during a minimum 12-month period is greater than the applicable rate. Crashes related to excessive speed include those crashes with causation factors of driving too fast for conditions, turning without clearance or failing to yield right-of-way.

Manual of Uniform Section 2B.13 Speed Limit Sign (R2-l) Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Standard: Speed zones (other than statutory speed limits) shall only be established on the basis of an engineering study that has been performed in accordance with traffic engineering practices. The engineering study shall include an analysis of the current speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles.

PA Traffic In accordance with §212.108(b) of Chapter 212 (relating to engineering and Engineering traffic studies), speed limits should be established based on the 85th-percentile Manual – speed unless: PennDOT Publication 46 • A major portion of the highway has sight distance restrictions (stopping and corner sight distance), or • The majority of crashes are related to excessive speed and the crash rate is greater than the applicable rate in the most recent high-crash rate or high-crash severity rate table.

Harris Township Request for Assistance Route 45 West Speed Limit CCMPO Technical Committee Meeting – January 15, 2020 Summary of Comments and Questions

Following presentations by Harris Township Manager Amy Farkas and PennDOT District 2-0 Assistant District Executive for Design Tom Zurat, the CCMPO Technical Committee discussed the issue and the Township’s request. The following is a summary of comments and questions offered by Committee members. Responses during the meeting are illustrated in italics.

1. Does this section of Route 45 meet the criteria to be considered a residential area? Although Route 45 seems like a rural connector in this area, how much residential development must be served by the roadway before the corridor is considered a residential area?

CCMPO Technical Committee Chair Ron Seybert explained that PA law establishes statutory speed limits for various roadways. The law also provides for a “residence district”, within which roads and streets can be posted at 25 mph without the need to complete an engineering study to support the speed limit. The “residence district” is defined by the density of single-family residences that front on, and gain access to, a particular street. The requirement is that at least 50% of a defined section of road must be fronted by the residential structures themselves to meet the criteria. The Route 45 corridor does not currently meet the criteria.

2. Is it possible to construct a turning and/or an acceleration lane near the intersections in the Village of Shingletown and up to the Hess Field entrance?

It was noted that a turning lane may help mitigate rear-end collisions, but would not result in lower travel speeds.

3. Even if the speed limit was able to be posted at 45 mph, motorists aren’t obeying the current posted 55 mph speed limit so they probably would not obey a posted 45mph speed limit.

4. What is Harris Township’s specific request to the MPO? Lowering the speed limit to 45 mph may not achieve the safety goals that Harris Township is seeking. It seems that there are enforcement issues.

5. PennDOT’s speed study data should be provided to Harris Township so that the State College Police Department, which provides police services to Harris Township, can target enforcement activities during specific times of day when travel speeds are particularly high.

6. The Coordinating Committee could consider directing staff to apply for supplemental planning funds from PennDOT to complete a Route 45 corridor study that would extend from the Route 26 (West College Avenue/Pine Grove Road) intersection to the South Atherton Street/Boal Avenue intersection. The study would address the speed limit issue as well as potential safety improvement projects along the entire corridor.

7. The Coordinating Committee should consider contacting state legislators to express the CCMPO’s support for reviewing and relaxing the 85th percentile speed criterion that is utilized to establish speed limits. Rural areas in Centre County are growing, and many rural areas have 55 mph and 45 mph speed limits that may no longer be appropriate due to population growth and land use changes. 1

8. PennDOT should provide clarification to Harris Township about the process for obtaining permission to collect speed data on Route 45 using automated devices approved by PennDOT.

Follow Up Information Provided by PennDOT to Harris Township

After the January 15 Technical Committee meeting, PennDOT provided information to Harris Township regarding several questions and comments associated with this topic. a. PennDOT noted that it cannot provide the entire speed study conducted for the Route 45 corridor to Harris Township due to legal restrictions associated with crash data. However, PennDOT will provide the Township with other sections of the study, including the vehicle speed data. b. PennDOT indicated that it would review any additional crash data for the corridor that is provided by the State College Police Department through the Township. c. PennDOT clarified that Harris Township could use speed monitoring devices to collect additional speed data, provided the devices met PennDOT specifications and a permit was issued by PennDOT to install the devices. PennDOT noted that the data collected could be utilized to help target enforcement activities when vehicle speed and/or traffic volumes were highest. PennDOT also explained that because of legal requirements associated with calibration of the devices and other issues, the speed data collected by the devices is not allowed to be used in speed studies. d. The PennDOT District 2-0 Office will discuss the frequency of grass and brush mowing/clearing at intersections with state roads along the corridor with PennDOT’s Centre County Maintenance Unit. PennDOT acknowledged that Harris Township maintenance forces cleared grass/brush at certain intersections in 2019 to maintain adequate sight distance.
