Annual Listing of Obligated Transportation Improvement Projects NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL ANNUAL LISTING OF OBLIGATED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS for Federal Fiscal Year 2011 December 29, 2011 This report was funded in part through grant[s] from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. Additional information on this report can be found in the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council 2011-2012 Unified Planning Work Program project, Transportation Improvement Program Maintenance (PTCS12D00.B01). It reflects the views and opinions of (enter NYMTC member’s name) which is responsible for the facts and accuracy of the data presented, and do not necessarily state or reflect those of the U. S. Department of Transportation, the State of New York, or the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council. Introduction Every day, the New York’s metropolitan transportation system is called upon to efficiently and reliably deliver people and goods to countless destinations within the region and beyond. This vast network of rails, roads, bridges, waterways and trails makes it possible for workers to get to jobs, students and teachers to educational institutions, and visitors to attractions, as well as for goods and services to reach consumers. Transportation improvement projects are planned and executed on a regular and on-going basis in order to maintain and improve the region’s massive transportation system. For the portion of the system in the City of New York and the surrounding suburban counties of Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester in the lower Hudson Valley and Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island, an enormous program of over 2,000 such projects is currently in place through Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015. Each fiscal year a variety of these planned projects are advanced to implementation. The first step toward implementation involves the obligation of planned funding which effectively “locks in” the funding so that projects can be advanced. How Are Transportation Improvement Projects Planned and Funded? The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) – a regional council of governments which is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley – is the organization responsible under federal law for undertaking regional transportation planning activities for its planning area that lead ultimately to transportation improvement projects that which the transportation system functioning. The federal legislation which authorizes spending nationally for transportation improvements requires metropolitan regions to follow a comprehensive planning process in order to obtain federal funding. The foundation of this process is a long-range Regional Transportation Plan which defines the region’s long-term needs and conceptual solutions. Through more detailed study, various specific transportation improvements are then defined using the Plan as a framework. Once defined, improvement projects are then added to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). As required by federal regulations, the TIP is a medium-range program of transportation improvement projects over a three-to-five year period. NYMTC’s adoption of the Plan and TIP for its planning area affirms that its member agencies are in compliance with federal planning requirements and that the transportation improvements it has planned are therefore eligible for federal funding. How Are Projects Implemented? Transportation improvement projects that appear on the TIP, whether they involve the purchase of equipment or construction of facilities or provision of services, are described by the various phases they must move through as they are developed and implemented. These phases range from detailed design or specification to purchase, construction or implementation and finally to evaluation, inspection and quality control. Often, these phases occur over a period of several years. Once a project has been programmed on the TIP, funding for each of its phases must then be obligated. Obligation of funds can be thought of as a formal commitment of a specific amount of funds to a project, as opposed to the programming of funds on the TIP, which simply enable their eventual commitment. Obligation begins the flow of funds to a project. Funding obligation is a critical milestone in the process which eventually implements transportation improvement projects. Federal planning regulations require that NYMTC publish a listing of obligated projects at the conclusion of each Federal Fiscal Year, which begins on October 1st and end on the following September 30th. Federal Reporting Requirements The Annual Listing of Obligated Transportation Improvement Projects for FFY 2011 fulfills NYMTC’s obligation under 49 CFR Part 450.332 for the fiscal year which ended on September 30, 2011. Specifically, these federal requirements are defined in the following sections: 450.332 Annual listing of obligated projects. (b) The listing shall be prepared in accordance with § 450.314(a) and shall include all federally-funded projects authorized or revised to increase obligations in the preceding program year, and shall at a minimum include the TIP information under § 450.324(e)(1) and (4) and identify, for each project, the amount of federal funds requested in the TIP, the Federal funding that was obligated during the preceding year, and the federal funding remaining and available for subsequent years. (c) The listing shall be published or otherwise made available in accordance with the MPO's public participation criteria for the TIP. § 450.324 Development and content of the transportation improvement program (TIP). (e) The TIP shall include, for each project or phase (e.g., preliminary engineering, environment/NEPA, right-of-way, design, or construction), the following: (1) Sufficient descriptive material (i.e., type of work, termini, and length) to identify the project or phase; (4) Identification of the agencies responsible for carrying out the project or phase. The FFY 2011 listing meets these requirements. Projects obligated during FFY 2011 are listed in subsequent portions of this report. Maps have also been prepared spatially displaying the listed projects. These maps can be accessed through NYMTC’s website at www.nymtc.org. How to Read the FFY 2011 Annual List of Obligated Transportation Improvement Projects The listing is organized geographically by NYMTC’s three main subregions: the lower Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island. The listing is further subdivided by County. The following is an explanation of terms that appears atop each column of the Annual List: PIN – The unique project identification numbers used to track projects. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – A brief single-line description of the project. A more comprehensive description can be obtained from the TIP. OBLIGATION OR AWARD DATE – The date funding was authorized/obligated for FHWA- funded projects or the date of the grant award for FTA-funded projects. ORIGINAL DATE – The date of authorization for FHWA advance-funding. FEDERAL FUND SOURCE – The federal program from which funds are to be drawn. Appendix A of the TIP has further explanation of fund sources. PHASE – The phase in the project development process for which funds had been obligated. FEDERAL AMOUNT ON TIP FFY 2011 – The planned amount of funding programmed on the TIP for that phase in FFY 2011. FEDERAL AMOUNT FOR FFY 2011 – The funding obligated (in millions). A negative number in this field typically shows a project phase closing out typically withdrawn or de-obligated. ADVANCE AMOUNT END OF FFY 2011 – The funding advanced for a project which would lead to future obligations. This is the remaining amount advanced at the end of the fiscal year. ADVANCE AMOUNT END OF FFY 2010 – The funding advanced for a project at the start of FFY 2011. FEDEDRAL AMOUNT 2012-2015 – The federal funding programmed in subsequent fiscal years which is 2012-2015 of the current TIP . LEAD AGENCY – The agency responsible for carrying out the project or phase.
