National ASHE Conference – May 10, 2019 Louisville Bridges Project Map The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project Almost 50 years in the Making Kentucky Issues: Indiana Issues: • Mobility: Complete outer beltway • Mobility: Complete outer beltway on east side of Louisville on east side of Louisville metro area • Safety: “Spaghetti Junction” daily • Accessibility: Huge potential congestion at the intersection of Interstates 64, 65, and 71 in the economic development sites on heart of downtown Louisville Indiana side of East End crossing • Aging Infrastructure built in 1940s • Safety: Traffic congestion on the I-65 and 50s Kennedy Bridge and the 80-year old Second Street Bridge into Louisville • Extreme Public Opposition to East End Ohio River Crossing • Large volume of commuter traffic • Other Public Sentiment that an East from southern Indiana to work in End Bridge would solve the Louisville downtown traffic problem Louisville Bridges Project PURPOSE CROSS RIVER MOBILITY Recommended Interchange Two Bridges, One Project | The Downtown Bridge The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project; Late 2009 Status: • Planning and Environmental documentation had virtually stopped due to cost of downtown and east end bridges being linked as one project. • The cost of this “Two Bridges, One Project” approach was $4.1 billion. • MPO fiscal constraint issues prevented the inclusion of the project in the Long Range Plan for the area. • KYTC and INDOT both knew that tolls would have to be part of any funding scenario for the project. • The old I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the outdated “Spaghetti Junction” had to be addressed. • Freight traffic in the Nashville to Indianapolis Corridor was increasing. What changed for the project?? • Catalyst #1 in 2009: The two • Catalyst # 2 in 2011: DISASTER— Governors, Beshear (D) and The I-64 Sherman Minton Bridge Daniels (R), said “Reduce costs at Louisville’s western edge had and get it done!” to be closed for 4 months and all traffic rerouted to I-65 The I-64 Bridge closure in 2011 led the public to demand that the Bridges project move forward, regardless of need for tolling!! FHWA Front Office Prioritized the State-to-state Complexities were LSIORB: enormous: • Development of Initial Financial Plan • Total project cost was reduced from (IFP) including tolls $4.1 to $2.6 billion. • Downtown and East End projects cost • Development of the Project roughly the same Management Plan (PMP) • States would split tolls 50/50 • Formalizing the Record of Decision • KY would lead Downtown Project and (ROD) IN would lead the East End work. • Mitigation follow-thru for • KY would do Design/Build procurement multimodal commitments to transit for Downtown Bridge • EJ Mitigation follow-thru • IN would do P3 procurement for EE • DBE and EEO commitments and • Joint completion scheduled with tolls minority training program to commence by January 1, 2017 • O/M by KYTC and INDOT downtown • O/M by the P3 contractor and KYTC on the East End Cost Reductions and Supplemental FEIS Costs were reduced by: Supplemental FEIS: • Shifting Kennedy Interchange • Necessary to revise design and back into its existing footprint include tolling and reducing number of lanes • SFEIS started in 2012 and • Shortening tie-ins to existing I- completed in 18 months in June, 64, I-65, and I-71 2013 • Eliminating bike/ped • SFEIS activities received highest accommodation from the new priority from KYTC, INDOT, and bridge USDOT/FHWA • Reducing East End from 6 lanes to 4 lanes State Governance Issues: Bi-State Cooperation Joint Board and Tolling Body Membership • Legal framework thru Bi-State Development Agreement • 4 members of the Joint Board • KYTC Secretary • Technical interaction thru Bi-State Management Team • INDOT Commissioner • Financial framework established thru • Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) KPTIA and IFA interaction Chair • Creation of a Joint Board to • KPTIA Chair authorize bi-state actions for the • 6 members of the Tolling Body project • All 4 Joint Board Members plus • Creation of a Tolling Body to draft and implement tolling requirements • An additional IFA Member • An additional KPTIA Member • Governors would serve as ultimate dispute mediators How to pay for “2 Bridges, 1 Project”? • Kentucky’s Downtown Bridge and Approaches Used More Traditional Design/Build: • Regular state and federal-aid funds from KYTC • GARVEE Bonds sold by KYTC • TIFIA Loan obtained by KPTIA ($452 million) • Non-Recourse Toll Revenue Bonds sold by KPTIA • KY’s 50% of toll revenues support TIFIA and Toll Bonds payback • Indiana’s East End Bridge and Approaches Used P3: • Private Activity Bonds (PABs) sold by IFA • TIFIA Loan obtained by IFA ($162 million) • P3 Availability Payment structured by IFA and paid by INDOT • IN’s 50% of toll revenues support INDOT’s AP commitment Did the Plan Work?

Transcription This Week Interview with Governor Mike Pence – Airing 10/18 Rafael Sanchez, RTV 6: Governor Mike Pence: Governor, thank you for joining us. Rafael Sanchez, RTV 6:You bet. You announced a major road program which you say will not, in any way, raiGovernorse taxes. Mike How Pence:is that possible? Well, it’s a real testament to the strong, fiscal responsibility that Indiana’s demonstrated in recent years. Look, we have one of the strongest balance sheets in the country. We have a growing economy. We have record employment in the state of Indiana and the lowest unemployment rate in the Midwest. That’s all created an environment where, in the end of the last fiscal year, we actually ended up with near record reserves in the bank. So, as we were looking at the priorities of the coming session and the General Assembly, I knew it would be possible for us to invest in the kind of preservation of our infrastructure, of roads and bridges, across the state of Indiana. By leveraging our fiscal strength without having to raise taxes on Hoosier motorists and taxpayers.Rafael Sanchez, RTV 6: We’re talking about $1 billion.

  • MAASTO Annual Report
    DRAFT i A letter from the president Greetings — I am pleased to present this 2017 annual report highlighting the achievements and innovations by our member states over the past year. The 10 states that comprise MAASTO are accomplishing some truly impressive things that will further elevate the prominent role we play in supporting our nation’s economy and enhancing the quality of life for citizens who call our region home. One thing is clear — as technology rapidly advances and the need deepens for identifying creative solutions for new and old problems alike, it is more important than ever that we work together to share best practices and inspire innovation. In that spirit, 43 individuals from across the region met in Chicago this spring for a summit on intermodal freight with an ultimate goal of strengthening the Midwest economy and improving the mobility of goods and people. A lot of discussion centered on opportunities for collabora - tion, as well as leveraging emerging technology and harmonizing regulations that vary by state and therefore affect freight movement. An overview of the summit begins on page 4. This report also highlights MAASTO’s effort to improve freight network safety and efficiency by providing truckers, dispatchers and their companies with real-time parking information. This is America’s first multistate effort of its kind. I am confident you will be impressed with the progress this partnership has achieved over the past year. We have a lot to be proud of and clearly can achieve great things together. Experiencing that level of partnership has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as MAASTO president.

Its health and economic impacts are staggering in scope and still developing as I present this proposal. And the true impact is further complicated by an evolving federal response for providing relief to different segments of our community, economy, and Louisville Metro Government. Given the number of unknown factors, I thought it prudent to present a continuation budget, knowing that we will undoubtedly need to revise it to achieve a structurally balanced and fiscally responsible plan that represents our city values.

  • E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED for MOTORCYCLES Tolling Is Expected to Begin Late This Year
    Contact: Mindy Peterson RiverLink spokesperson 502.595.8704, [email protected] E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED FOR MOTORCYCLES Tolling is expected to begin late this year LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 9, 2016) – Motorcyclists who have been waiting to open RiverLink accounts have a recommendation on which transponder to use. It’s recommended that motorcyclists use a RiverLink E-ZPass transponder, and purchase a transponder holder that works best for their motorcycle and needs. Several options can be found through third-party vendors with an online search. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder is $15 per transponder. It’s a one-time cost for the life of the transponder, with the battery expected to last at least seven years. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder can be moved from vehicle to vehicle registered to a single account. It can also be used in all 16 E-ZPass states, primarily located in the Northeast corridor. With a transponder, the toll for motorcycles is $2 per crossing, the rate for passenger vehicles. Opening an Account RiverLink is the new, all-electronic tolling system making the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project possible. There are no toll booths, no coin machines, no lines and no stopping. Initial toll rates range from $2-$12. The lowest toll rates are for drivers with transponders. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. Drivers can open a personal account online at www.RiverLink.com, by phone at 855-RIV-LINK or in person at one of two RiverLink customer service centers. The customer service centers are located at 400 East Main Street in Louisville and 103 Quartermaster Court in Jeffersonville.
