Ms. Engel provided the committee with the General Insurance July renewal information. The Business Owner’s Package will increase 7% which is a total of $291 for the year. Ms. Engel informed the committee that MAPA’s insurance broker Davis Insurance informed her that they were not be able to negotiate a lower premium for FY 2019, because MAPA has a potential no fault claim related to an incident that occurred in December 2017, in a common area of the Metro Transit building. A copy of MAPA’s lease agreement was requested and sent to the insurance company at the time of the incident and the 7% increase may be, in part due to the fact that the current lease agreement with Metro Transit states Metro has no fault for anyone that is on site for MAPA purposes. The current lease is up for renewal on July 1, and MAPA’s legal counsel is reviewing the document and proposing revisions that would reduce MAPA’s potential exposure and state that Metro is responsible for the maintenance of common areas. Committee members agreed that due to time restraints it would be best to renew the current coverage with the proposed increase, but they would like to look into other options for FY 2020. MAPA is looking to add drone coverage to this agreement.
The Workers Compensation package will increase 8%, but this amount is reconciled annually and will be adjusted based on actual payroll figures and employee activity.
The Director’s and Officer’s policy has no change in premium.
The housing grant funding will run through the MAPA Foundation, so MAPA has inquired on whether the MAPA Foundation may be a special endorsement under MAPA’s D & O policy, since the Foundation has no employees.
The Commercial Auto premiums increase 3%, $171. MAPA recently changed this coverage to include coverage for persons riding in a MAPA vehicle during non-business activities. The Crime and Bond policy has no increase in premiums. In total the General insurance premiums increase 4% which is $645.
MOTION Duda SECOND by Hanafan to recommend that the Board of Directors approve the General Insurance renewal for FY 2019 as presented. MOTION CARRIED.
Ms. Preister presented the Life/AD&D, Long term disability, and Dental policy renewals as recommended by the Benefits Committee. The Life/AD&D will have no premium increase. Dental has a 3.5% increase which is covered 100% by employees.

Regional Goals
3.1 GOALS
As the MAPA region plans for the coming 25 years, what principles will guide the development of the region’s transportation system? The federal transportation legislation identifies eight planning factors to guide the transportation planning process. The federal planning factors provide a helpful framework for identifying goals and strategies for a region’s transportation system. The eight planning factors are listed below:
• “Support the ECONOMIC VITALITY of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency.” • “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 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, across and between modes, for people and freight.” • “Promote efficient system MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION.” • “Emphasize the PRESERVATION of the existing transportation system.” • “Improve the RESILIENCY AND RELIABILITY of the transportation system and REDUCE OR MITIGATE STORMWATER impacts of surface transportation” • “Enhance TRAVEL AND TOURISM”
Many of these goals are interrelated. For example, accessibility and mobility have a direct bearing on a metropolitan area’s economic vitality. If it is convenient to travel and distribute a company’s products, then they will be more likely to locate in that region. Similarly, efficient management and operation of the system affect its level of accessibility and mobility. The concerns identified by the eight planning factors can be condensed into four overarching categories related to a region’s economic vitality and quality of life. Therefore, this LRTP identifies four general goals for the MAPA region’s transportation system:
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM GOALS
1. Maximize accessibility and mobility. 2. Increase safety and security. 3. Consider the environment and urban form. 4. Keep costs reasonable and sustainable. Page | 3-1
Metropolitan Area Planning Agency Long Range Transportation Plan 2040
Currently, 84% of the rated roadways in the MAPA region are rated “good” or “very good”. (See Section Five, Figure 5.6) ▪ Using asset management principles to reduce long-term infrastructure costs, reduce the percentage of bridges rated “poor” or “fair”. 20% of bridges in the MAPA region are rated as such today. (See Section Five, Figure 5.10) ▪ Utilize and evaluate benefit-cost analysis in major projects.
3.3 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REPORT
Effective May 20, 2017, a series of related Transportation Performance Management (TPM) rules established a set of performance measures for State Departments of Transportation (State DOT) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to use as required by MAP-21 and the FAST Act. These safety performance measures carry out the HSIP and assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
The Safety PM Final Rule establishes five performance measures as the five-year rolling averages to include: 1. Number of Fatalities 2. Rate of Fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) 3. Number of Serious Injuries 4. Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 Million VMT 5. Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-motorized Serious Injuries
3.3.1 – SAFETY PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS
The Safety Performance Management Measures regulation supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and requires State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to set HSIP targets for these five safety performance measures. MPOs must establish their HSIP targets by February 27 of the calendar year in which they apply.
MPOs establish HSIP targets by either: 1. Support the State HSIP Target; or 2. Establish its own HSIP Target.
Page | 3-7
Metropolitan Area Planning Agency Long Range Transportation Plan 2040
As a result of the stakeholder process, MAPA elected to establish its own HSIP targets for safety performance measures, and as a bi-state MPO, MAPA coordinated with both the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) in the process of adopting its own region-wide targets. Targets for the MAPA region were identified using VMT estimates for all public roads within the planning area to establish rate targets. These targets have since been integrated into the metropolitan transportation planning process and include a description of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to these safety targets.
MAPA will coordinate with both NDOT and the Iowa DOT on the manner in which they will report targets to the respective state agencies. A systems performance report evaluating the condition and performance of the transportation system with respect to the safety performance targets described in the MTP including progress achieved by MAPA in achieving safety performance targets will be produced annually by MAPA to NDOT and Iowa DOT.
The following safety performance measures have been adopted by the MAPA Executive Board:
Safety Performance Measure Summary 5-Year Rolling Average Category 2012-2016 2014-2018 Baseline Anticipated Target Fatalities (#) 53.4 55.6 Fatality Rate 0.839 0.961 Serious Injuries (#) 539.0 510.6 Serious Injury Rate 8.450 7.968 Non-Motorized (# Fatal & Serious) 53.4 56.0

7.6 REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS
The list of street and highway projects eligible for Federal aid funding following in this section is fiscally-constrained to reasonably available local, state, and federal revenues. Project costs take inflation into account and appear in year-of-expenditure dollars. Therefore, project costs for future years appear higher than what they would cost if constructed today. As is described in Section 7.3, federal funding levels were identified based on past trends within the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Local revenues were identified based on local financial reports and identified operations & maintenance costs.
These projects listed in this LRTP are considered eligible for Federal-Aid funding by the MPO. Projects will be selected for Federal aid funding as they go through the MPO’s project selection and prioritization process for the TIP, while some projects may be advanced using solely local funding sources. The following sections divide the projects between Regionally Significant Roadway & Trail Projects, Regionally Significant Transit Investments, and Illustrative Projects.
7.6.1– REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY & TRAIL INVESTMENTS The tables that follow this section include regionally significant roadway and trail projects identified from the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan and the scenario planning process described earlier in this chapter. These investments represent the federal-aid eligible portion of this LRTP as the total funding for both local and state projects has been
The FY2016-2019 Transportation Improvement Program serves as the four-year implementation program of this plan. Projects identified in this TIP are included in the first band of projects within this project list.
A summary of the fiscally constrained Roadway & Trail program is included in Table 7.8 below.

7.7 FISCAL CONSTRAINT OVERVIEW FOR ROADWAY & TRAIL PROJECTS
In order to demonstrate fiscal constraint of the projects and revenues identified in this chapter, MAPA has included Tables 7.13 (below) and & 7.14 (next page). These tables correlates the anticipated federal-aid highway revenues, local revenues, and estimated project costs to summarize the analysis conducted within this chapter. The positive balances shown in Table 7.13 below demonstrates that the identified Federal-Aid program of projects is fiscally constrained. Balances in the short-term bucket reflects the inability to program funding by year for non-regional sources of federal funding.
Table 7.14 (next page) summarizes non-federal-aid revenue and expenditures identified within this plan. The maps that follow this section show identified Federal-Aid investments, non-federal-aid projects, and all projects together.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA), in conjunction with the Bellevue Bridge Commission, has commissioned a study to examine the potential of the Bellevue Bridge, officially called the Grand Army of the Republic Bridge. The Bellevue Bridge was formerly Highway 370 and spans the Missouri River to connect Old Towne Bellevue with Mills County Iowa, including access to Interstate 29. Since the completion of the Highway 34 Missouri River Bridge in 2014, the Bellevue Bridge has seen a decrease in traffic of about 50 percent. The purpose of this study will be to determine whether future conditions in the area warrant replacement of the bridge, alternatives for reconstruction, and the impacts of closing the bridge. The Bellevue Bridge is owned and operated by the Bellevue Bridge Commission. The Commission has sufficient funding to maintain the bridge for the foreseeable future. Replacement of the bridge will eventually become necessary and preliminary plans for a new bridge on the north side of the current structure have been designed. However, there is no current plan for the significant expense that would be required to reconstruct the bridge. This study will guide the Commission and adjacent communities to form the long-term plans for the bridge’s future. As part of the analysis, consideration will be given to the Bellevue Bridge’s importance as a farm to- market route, bicycle connection, a nuclear escape route (related to OPPD’s Ft. Calhoun plant), access route for Old Towne Bellevue, and a connection to Offutt Air Force Base. Stakeholder and public input is essential to weighing these factors and is a priority of this project. The study area includes Bellevue Bridge, all Missouri River crossings within a ten-mile radius of Bellevue Bridge, and major roadways connecting to Bellevue Bridge. A total of six (6) bridge alternatives will be evaluated. The alternatives will include: 1. Preservation & Maintenance of Existing Facility 2. Bridge Closure (demolition) 3. New Bridge Construction (including one alternative alignment) 4. Bridge Conversion to a Recreational Trail Facility (both lanes) 5. Bridge Preservation / Load or Time Restriction (one lane for vehicles, one lane to Trail facility) 6. One (1) Additional Alternative as Developed through Stakeholder Engagement

SCOPE OF SERVICES Work will be conducted on this project as part of the following tasks: ▪ Task 1 – Project Management and Administration ▪ Task 2 – Stakeholder Outreach and Input ▪ Task 3 – Data Gathering and Research ▪ Task 4 – Analysis of Alternatives ▪ Task 5 – Final Report Task 1: Project Management and Administration 1.1 Detailed Workplan FHU/RDG will provide a detailed work plan that outlines key steps, processes, and milestones necessary to complete the agreed-upon scope of work. The plan will include a detailed schedule for each task and corresponding deliverables, as well as details on data maintenance and file management. 1.1.1 Stop Milestones The nine-month project will be broken into three three-month time periods, and stop milestones will be established at the 1/3 and 2/3 points. This will allow FHU/RDG and the steering committee to jointly assess the direction of the project and findings at each stop milestone. If desired, minor modifications to the project goals or desired outcomes can be made at the stop milestone points. 1.1.2 Methods & Assumptions Document FHU/RDG will facilitate a discussion during the project kickoff meeting to determine the assumptions to be used during the study. Resulting from that meeting, FHU/RDG will develop a Methods & Assumptions document. The effort associated with this task includes compiling information and evaluation of current standards, meeting preparation, attendance and distribution of the Methods & Assumptions document for review, comment and approval. 1.2 Reporting and Administration FHU/RDG shall submit monthly progress reports to the MAPA project manager. The progress reports will conform to the required reporting schedule identified in the programmatic agreed upon between the grantor and MAPA. FHU/RDG shall also take necessary steps to follow regulations and guidelines applicable to various funding sources. Task 2: Stakeholder Outreach and Input 2.1 Project Information content generation FHU/RDG will periodically generate project status reports to MAPA staff, including (but not limited to) graphic/pictorial content, written content or videos. These informational pieces will provide stakeholders, staff and the public a report on progress and findings of the process as it is undergone. 2.2 Bridge Commission FHU/RDG will meet with the Bellevue Bridge Commission throughout the study to deliver project presentations and keep the Commission updated. Four (4) meetings with the Commission are anticipated.
Page 2 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
2.3 Steering Committee MAPA has developed a project steering committee consisting of key stakeholders for this study. FHU/RDG will present to and interact with the steering committee monthly. Bi-monthly meeting topics will include project updates, budget, direction of study, and project goals. 2.4 Public & Stakeholder Workshop Community Engagement Plan 2.4.1 Kickoff and Community Roundtable Once notice to proceed has been received, FHU/RDG will attend a kickoff meeting with the client and steering committee. In tandem with the kickoff meeting, our team will host a community roundtable discussion, inviting the public to participate in identifying goals, issues, and aspirations with their peers. The workshop will be organized to achieve desired outcomes and will provide engaging and interactive design activities created to maximize conversation and the exchange of ideas. 2.4.2 Focus Group Interviews FHU/RDG will attend up to 3 days of focus group interviews. FHU/RDG will set up focus group interviews with key stakeholders selected during the project kickoff meeting. FHU/RDG will send invites to selected stakeholders and select the location. 2.4.3 Open Houses FHU/RDG will attend two open house meetings. FHU/RDG will select location and set up open house meetings including sending out invitations. The first open house is related to the community roundtable and the second open house is related to the design charrette. 2.4.4 Social Media and Survey Monkey FHU/RDG will schedule and create copy for any existing social media platforms. FHU/RDG will develop a questionnaire to understand community perspectives based on input from MAPA and the Bellevue Bridge Commission. 2.4.5 Establish Project Stakeholders Group FHU/RDG will work with MAPA and the Bellevue Bridge Commission to identify key stakeholders to assemble a project stakeholders group. Stakeholders related to the Bellevue Bridge are expected to include major nearby employers, industries, utilities, elected officials, business organizations, community leaders, and resource agencies (US-Army Corps of Engineers, etc.). The project stakeholders group will be engaged throughout the study and will be called upon for input to help guide the direction of the study. Project stakeholders group meeting times and locations will be established as part of this task. Task 3: Data Gathering and Analysis 3.1 Inventory of Existing Conditions FHU/RDG will inventory current conditions in the study area. Existing data, such as traffic data collected by the Bellevue Bridge Commission, will be made available by MAPA to the consultant. This analysis will include: ▪ Traffic conditions for the Bellevue Bridge and other nearby crossings of the Missouri River ▪ Bridge condition ▪ Existing land use ▪ Employment and commuting patterns ▪ Commodity flows
Page 3 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
▪ Tolling revenue ▪ Recent preservation and maintenance activities and expenses ▪ Bridge inspection reports ▪ Economic Impact 3.1.1 Traffic Study FHU/RDG will conduct a traffic analysis for the study area including a detailed intersection analysis and a high-level planning capacity analysis for both the existing conditions and for the future year 2040 traffic conditions. This study will need to consider the future land uses in the study area and the impacts of the proposed alternatives to the Bellevue Bridge. MAPA will provide Year 2040 traffic projections which will be used for the opening year and future year traffic analysis. Historic count data from several sources including the Bellevue Bridge Commission, City of Bellevue, NDOT, IowaDOT and MAPA will be requested for this project. To supplement historic counts, 24-hour counts and 4-hour peak period counts will be conducted at key locations on both the Nebraska and Iowa sides of the Bellevue Bridge. This information will be used to compare with model output and historic count information, and will help identity peak hour traffic flows. FHU/RDG will complete 24-hour turning movement counts at the following intersections: ▪ E. Mission Avenue with S. 15th Street/Payne Drive just west of the Bellevue Bridge ▪ Mills County Highway H10/Bunge Avenue with the I-29 Frontage Road FHU/RDG will complete 4-hour peak period turning movement counts at the following intersections: ▪ Harlan Drive with Galvin Road ▪ E. Mission Avenue with Lincoln Road ▪ E. Mission Avenue with Franklin Street (Harvell Drive connection) ▪ E. Mission Avenue with Hancock Street (Harlan Lewis Road connection) ▪ Harlan Lewis Road with US 34 ▪ County Highway H10/Bunge Avenue with I-29 Southbound Ramps ▪ County Highway H10/Bunge Avenue with I-29 Northbound Ramps Existing and future traffic operations will be evaluated at the study area intersections for two alternatives; Bridge Closure (demolition) and New Bridge Construction. Impacts to the study area intersections will be identified and any needed improvements will be recommended. MAPA shall provide future year ADT volumes all legs at the study area intersections for both these scenarios. FHU/RDG will complete a high-level future year, planning capacity analysis for the six bridge alternatives as identified in the project description: 1. Preservation & Maintenance of Existing Facility (strawman) 2. Bridge Closure (demolition) 3. New Bridge Construction (including 1 alternative alignment) 4. Bridge Conversion to a Recreational Trail Facility (both lanes) 5. Bridge Preservation / Load or Time Restriction (1 lane for vehicles, 1 lane to Trail facility) 6. One (1) additional Alternative as Developed through Stakeholder Engagement
Page 4 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
The planning level analysis will evaluate the cross-sections of primary roadway facilities in the 10-mile screenline area to determine if adequate capacity is provided with changes in travel patterns with each alternative. The analysis will use future year ADT volumes for the six alternatives. ADT thresholds from the MAPA long range transportation plan will be used. MAPA will complete transportation model runs and provide future year ADT data for the following roadways within the 10-mile screenline area: ▪ I-29 from US 34/Platteview Road to I-480 ▪ US 75 from US 34/Platteview Road to I-80 ▪ I-480 from I-29 to I-80 ▪ I-80 from US 75/I-480 to I-29 ▪ US 275/NE 92/Veterans Memorial Highway from US 75 to I-29 ▪ US 34/Platteview Road from US 75 to I-29 The roadway cross-section (width and number of travel lanes) of the Bellevue Bridge and the adjacent Missouri River Bridge crossings will also be evaluated and will include the following structures: ▪ Bellevue Bridge ▪ I-480/US 6 Bridge ▪ I-80 Bridge ▪ US 275 Veterans Memorial Bridge ▪ US 34 Bridge ▪ Plattsmouth Bridge A draft report will be prepared summarizing the results of this traffic study and will include graphical illustrations of the study area and analysis. FHU/RDG will identify traffic operational or roadway deficiencies in the immediate study area and will develop high-level improvement recommendations. Assumptions: ▪ NDOT or IowaDOT to provide US 75/US 34 Traffic Study(s) ▪ NDOT to provide Nebraska Statewide Freight Plan ▪ IowaDOT and NDOT to provide historic ADT volumes for the study area ▪ MAPA to provide any available data from MTIS Study ▪ MAPA will complete transportation model runs as requested by FHU/RDG and will provide future year ADT volumes for the study area for the six alternatives 3.1.2 Baseline Structural Conditions Analysis FHU/RDG will acquire current bridge inspection information as well as: existing bridge plans, maintenance history records, underwater inspections, correspondence, posting history, field testing reports and original construction documents to develop an independent assessment of the bridge overall condition. Immediate structural needs will be noted, (for example fracture critical members needing replacement or repair) and recommended actions identified. A determination of remaining useful life will be based on using the bridge in its current function (two-way toll traffic) into the future. Major and minor repairs required for this baseline level of service and project life will be identified and presented in a proposed maintenance schedule.
Page 5 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
3.2 Origin-Destination Analysis Screen Line Needs Analysis Evaluation of the regional east-west vehicular movements between Nebraska and Iowa will be considered for existing and future demand. A screen line along the river including all bridge crossings between I-480/ US 6 and Plattsmouth Bridge will be developed for the existing daily vehicle demand to gain insight into vehicle flows potentially affected by a change to the Bellevue Bridge. Future traffic forecasts at the same screen line locations will be prepared using the Omaha -Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency regional travel demand model and forecasts prepared for the Nebraska DOT MTIS to understand future travel demand. These evaluations will consider the total vehicular flows as well as bridge specific forecasts to understand the future volumes and available capacity at crossings expected to be impacted by changes to the Bellevue Bridge. Data from the U.S. Census LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) dataset will be generated at the Census Block level for 2015, the latest year available. LODES data is provided at the statewide level and will be generated in four datasets for Nebraska and Iowa, with an intrastate dataset for each state that enumerates the number of jobs and residences by Census Block within the state, and an interstate dataset that provides the flow of job commutes crossing state borders by Census Block for each state. An origin-destination matrix, along with heat maps depicting these flows, will be created and analyzed. Federal versus private jobs are enumerated in separate tables that can be generated if needed for the analysis. The LODES data is limited to commuter job flow trip type. Task 4: Alternatives Analysis 4.1 Initial Screening Using a series of potential impacts, FHU/RDG will evaluate scenarios for the future of the Bellevue Bridge. The analysis will be based on existing planning documents and MAPA’s Travel Demand Model. FHU/RDG will analyze each of the six bridge alternatives to determine a comparable list of benefits and shortcomings of each alternative, along with an estimated cost (by year) for each alternative. Costs will include planning level estimates for ROW easements, engineering services, construction costs, and other costs associated with each improvement of each scenario. Using a planning decision matrix, the improvement scenarios will be screened for fatal flaws to determine which scenarios are feasible to be included within a preliminary list of solutions. This matrix will be presented to the steering committee to determine which conceptual alternatives are to advance to the refinement stage. There will be at least three alternatives advanced to the refinement stage. Completion of the baseline structural analysis and environmental desktop reviews prior to the development of the improvement scenarios will allow the project team to incorporate potential impacts to environmental resources as a part of the decision matrix. Impacts to consider will include, but are not limited to: ▪ Travel time ▪ Bicycle and pedestrian connectivity ▪ Environmental review ▪ Future land use ▪ Emergency services ▪ Economic development impacts Bridge Alternatives
Page 6 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
A total of six (6) bridge alternatives will be evaluated. The alternatives will include: 1. Preservation & Maintenance of Existing Facility 2. Bridge Closure (demolition) 3. New Bridge Construction (including 1 alternative alignment) 4. Bridge Conversion to a Recreational Trail Facility (both lanes) 5. Bridge Preservation / Load or Time Restriction (1 lane for vehicles, 1 lane to Trail facility) 6. One (1) Additional Alternative as Developed through Stakeholder Engagement Assumptions: 1.) Preservation of the bridge will provide for increased future traffic under the same use as today. This assumes no change to the bridge current function and will terminate with bridge demolition at an optimal future point in time determined in the baseline conditions analysis. 2.) Bridge demolition will be considered at some optimal point in the bridge useful life. Determination of this point is a function of traffic demand and construction of a replacement structure or closure and demolition where a replacement structure is deemed not necessary. 3.) The need for a new bridge will be evaluated for its contribution to area economic development, local and regional traffic demand, safety, river traffic, area recreation, sustainability. 4.) Bridge conversion of both lanes to recreational traffic only will be evaluated for the associated loading and suspected additional life due to the less frequent, lighter pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Bridge retrofit with appropriate guardrails and fencing along with associated installation and maintenance costs will be included in this analysis. 5.) Bridge conversion to one lane signalized vehicular traffic and one land recreational traffic will be evaluated for the associated loading and suspected additional life due to the single lane of vehicular traffic in combination with recreational traffic. Bridge retrofit with appropriate guardrails and fencing along with associated installation and maintenance costs will be included in this analysis. In addition, an automated toll system and signal will be evaluated for viability. 6.) One additional alternative future use (as defined in the public engagement process) will be analyzed for viability. Examples may include adding overlook platforms to the bridge to cantilevering a continuous walkway along the length of the bridge. 4.2 Refinements to Bridge Alternatives Once three recommended bridge options are identified they will be weighed according to their: cost, ability to meet traffic and use demands, impacts to area commerce, impacts to area recreational facilities, structural viability, permitting needs, environmental impacts, land use, and ROW requirements. Each alternative advancing from Task 3.3.1 will be refined to address the following information: ▪ Conceptual structure types, length(s) & width(s) for scenarios that include replacement/ widening bridge projects. ▪ Estimated structure touchdown points for scenarios that include replacement bridge projects. ▪ General location of bridge piers relative to road, river, trail and utility crossings for scenarios that include replacement / widening bridge projects. ▪ General vertical and horizontal alignment and typical section of the mainline highway and all streets and trails affected by improvement scenarios.

▪ Lane requirements on the mainline highway (including the structure) and all intersecting streets necessary to maintain the minimum corridor traffic level of service for each bridge location corridor per its functional classification. ▪ Right of Way limits ▪ Local street connection modifications that may be needed as a result of implementing the option. ▪ Impacts to recreational facilities, including the trail systems and watercraft access and crossings. ▪ Pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the highway (including the structure) and other connecting streets and the connection to any trail systems. ▪ Impacts to the river flood plain and floodway, including navigational clearances where applicable. 4.3 Innovation Workshop FHU/RDG will hold a half-day innovation workshop at the first stop milestone (1/3 point) with selected members of the project stakeholder group and agencies. During the innovation workshop, the project team will identify infrastructural, ITS, operational, and financial issues and solutions to promote the long- term viability of a Missouri River Crossing in Bellevue. Upon completion of the workshop, we will create a matrix to identify innovative solutions to determine if any are viable for implementation in the short-term or long-term. Considerations will include: technology hurdles, generalized (planning level) measures of effectiveness, traffic efficiency, relative costs, funding sources, environmental impacts, and right-of-way impacts. Potential ITS solutions will be consistent with the national and local ITS architecture. 4.4 Bicycle Pedestrian Analysis FHU/RDG will create an analysis diagram that will portray the pedestrian and bicycle connectivity of an area defined during the study with the steering committee. Bicycle/pedestrian connectivity concepts will be incorporated into each bridge alternative. FHU/RDG will prepare an opinion of costs for bicycle and pedestrian improvements to each bridge alternative. 4.5 Environmental & Historical Resource Review FHU/RDG shall prepare an Environmental/Historical Review for the project. The review will address existing environmental conditions in the study area and analyze impacts of six alternatives (including a maintenance only alternative, new bridge on new alignment alternative, and several existing bridge modification alternatives). Findings will be included as a chapter in the overall project report with supporting documentation, such as agency coordination, contained in the appendices. The Environmental Review will contain a discussion of the following general topics: ▪ Project description, and purpose and need for the proposed action ▪ Discussion of alternatives considered and selection of the preferred alternative ▪ Discussion of social, economic, and environmental resources and impacts of the range of alternatives (affected environment and environmental consequences). ▪ Listing of agencies and persons consulted, and a summary of issues and concerns ▪ Listing of permits needs and a summary of required information necessary to obtain the permit. The focus will be on important resources and permit requirements; issues of less importance will only briefly be discussed. Based on the extent of adverse impacts, mitigation will be identified as required.
Page 8 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2####
Detailed mitigation plans with specific criteria and associated monitoring activities are outside the scope of this study. It is anticipated that the development of the Environmental Review will require the following tasks: 4.5.1 Agency Coordination Contact various agencies and interested stakeholders, including City of Bellevue, Sarpy and Mills Counties, Nebraska and Iowa Departments of Transportation, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Environmental Protection Agency, Nebraska and Iowa State Historic Preservation Offices, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and any other applicable agencies or stakeholders (such as the Mills County Conservation Board (IA) or Papio- Missouri River Natural Resource District (NE)). 4.5.2 Data Collection and GIS Documentation Gather information from existing resources and databases, and prepare GIS mapping for use as report figures for the Environmental Review and for presentation materials for public meetings. 4.5.3 Wetland Delineation and Habitat Investigation A wetland delineation will be conducted of the project study area. This will include a review of existing data such as National Wetland Inventory maps, NHDS streams, NRCS soil survey data, and aerial photographs. The field investigation will follow methodology of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987), including investigation of hydrology, vegetation, and soils. Wetlands boundaries will be identified using GPS equipment, and a map will be developed showing the extent of wetlands and other waters of the U.S. A jurisdictional wetland report will be prepared documenting findings and will be included as an appendix to the project document. The delineation report will include photographs of the site, wetland determination data sheets, and mapping. Future permitting and mitigation requirements will be discussed. 4.5.4 Endangered Species Review FHU/RDG will conduct an on-line CERT review for State and Federally listed threatened or endangered species that potentially could inhabit the project study area. Suitable habitat for these species, if any, will be identified at the same time as the wetland delineation. Mitigation measures will be included for any species likely to be impacted by the proposed project. Coordination letters will be sent to Nebraska and Iowa agencies requesting concurrence on findings. 4.5.5 Cultural Resources (Historic/Archeological) Review The Bellevue Bridge was previously evaluated for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places and was not considered eligible. As part of this environmental/historical review, FHU/RDG will summarize publicly available information on previously recorded historic sites or districts within the project study area. Results of the records search will be submitted to the Nebraska and Iowa State Historic Preservation Offices with a request for concurrence regarding the effect of the proposed project on known resources. An archeological pedestrian survey will not be conducted; a Phase I survey report will not be prepared as party of this study. 4.5.6 Other Resources Other social, economic, and natural environmental resources will be evaluated in less detail. These are likely to include, but only as applicable, floodplains and levees; land use and zoning; prime farmland; community facilities and services; neighborhoods; recreational resources and public lands (Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act); visual and aesthetic considerations; hazardous materials;
Page 9 Revised 05.04.18 Bellevue Bridge Study STBG-MAPA #### CN 2#### utilities; construction impacts (air, noise, water, detours, traffic congestion, safety, etc.); and erosion control. This scope assumes that a traffic noise study will not be required. 4.5.7 Prepare Environmental Review Findings of the Environmental/Historical Review will be included as a chapter in the overall project report. 4.6 Financial Analysis FHU/RDG will evaluate the fiscal analysis for the various bridge alternatives. Funding options for reconstruction, maintenance, repurposing and closure will be researched and proposed. 4.6.1 Market Analysis FHU/RDG will prepare a market analysis of the area that is most impacted by the bridge. This area will be defined with the help of MAPA. 4.6.2 Case Study Examples RDG will also prepare case studies of similar bridge conversion projects and will include the economic impact of these similar projects. Task 5: Final Report 5.1 Draft Report Production and Editing FHU/RDG shall document all work performed under Tasks 2 & 3 and draft a final document for review by MAPA staff and the project steering committee. The Final Report shall contain an Executive Summary that can function as a stand-alone item. FHU/RDG shall edit and revise the document according to feedback given by MAPA staff and the project steering committee. A public meeting shall also be held to offer the draft plan for public comment and feedback (identified as the second public open house in Task 2.4). 5.2 Final Report and Documentation FHU/RDG shall incorporate feedback on the draft report into the final report. The report should be written as a free-standing document. FHU/RDG shall package and deliver the final plan document in both PDF and an editable format (Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign), as well as a specified number of hard copies. All graphic content shall also be made available in PDF format as well as native live format (Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop). FHU/RDG shall package and deliver to MAPA all data generated, analyzed or refined over the course of their engagement. GIS data shall be delivered in file geodatabase or shapefile format, along with map documents. Any and all data generated, analyzed or refined under this contract shall become property of MAPA upon conclusion of the contract.

6. COMPENSATION Contingent upon receipt of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) PL funds from NDOT under Agreement Project No. PL-1(56), MAPA agrees to pay for the services rendered by the County under the terms of this Agreement, compensation on a cost reimbursement basis for costs incurred and to include direct costs not to exceed in any event fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,00) less independent audit and inspection fees, unless acceptable compliance with 2 CFR 200 can be substituted. The County agrees to contribute in cash or in services a minimum requirement of twenty-three thousand five hundred seventy-one dollars ($23,571). Services shall be defined as staff time paid with non-federal dollars or equipment purchased with non-federal dollars. (Exhibit III)
Payments for work under this agreement will be made based on actual costs up to a Maximum- Not-To-Exceed amount identified in the preceding paragraph. Actual costs include direct labor costs, direct non-labor costs, and overhead costs. A. Direct Labor Costs are the earnings that individuals receive for the time they are working directly on the project.
a. Hourly Rates: For hourly employees, the hourly earnings rate shall be their employee’s straight time hourly rate for the pay period in which the work was performed. If overtime hours are worked on this project, the premium pay portion of those hours is not allowable as a direct labor cost. For salaried employees, the hourly earnings rate shall be their actual hourly rate as recorded in the County’s accounting books of record.
b. Time Reports: The hours charged to the project must be supported by adequate time distribution records that clearly indicate the distribution of hours to all projects/activities on a daily basis for the entire pay period. Time reports must provide a clear identifying link to the projects: such as project description, project number, pertinent work phase, dates of service, and the individual’s name and position. There must be an adequate system of internal controls in place to ensure that time charges are correct and have the appropriate supervisory approval.
B. Direct Non-Labor Costs: These costs include all necessary, actual, and allowable costs related to completing the work under the agreement, including but not limited to: meals, lodging, mileage, subject to the limitations outlined below; communication costs; reproduction and printing costs; special equipment and materials required for the project; special insurance premiums if required solely for this agreement; and such other allowable items. Purchases of such items should follow federal funding procurement process. Meal and lodging expenses shall not exceed IRS published per diem rates for the region. Alcoholic beverages are not considered to be an allowable expense and are not reimbursable.
A non-labor cost charged as a direct cost cannot be included in the County’s overhead rate. If for reasons of practicality, the consultant is treating a direct non-labor cost category, in its entirety, as an overhead cost, then costs from that category are not eligible to be billed to this project as a direct expense.
County shall submit to the Planning Agency an invoice or billing itemizing all direct non-labor costs claimed for work under this agreement, and all supporting receipts or invoices.
3
7. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE The County agrees to pay MAPA an administrative fee of two thousand seven hundred fifty dollars ($2,750). MAPA in exchange shall monitor compliance with grant requirements, review and approve payment authorizations and submit to the federal agency for payment. Sources of funding for this administrative fee shall come from non-federal funds.
8. ACCOUNTING RECORDS A. The County shall establish and maintain accounts for the project in a manner consistent with applicable provisions of 2 CFR, Subtitle A, Chapter 2 Part 200 Subpart F. B. Expenditures shall be in conformance with the standards for allowability of costs set forth in 2 CFR 200. C. The County shall establish and maintain separate accounts for expenditures under this Agreement. D. If necessary, the Federal award information needed for SEFA includes: Federal Grantor: US Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration Pass-Through Grantor: Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency Program Title: Highway Planning and Construction CFDA Number: 20.205 Project Number: 1950310001 E. The County shall maintain an accurate cost-keeping system as to all costs incurred in connection with the subject of this Agreement and shall produce for examination books of account, bills, invoices and other vouchers, or certified copies thereof if originals are lost, at such reasonable time and place as may be designated by MAPA, FHWA or a designated Federal representative and shall permit extracts and copies thereof to be made during the period and for three (3) years after the final FHWA-MAPA audit is completed, resolved and closed. F. The County shall at all times afford a representative of MAPA, FHWA, or any authorized representative of the Federal government, reasonable facilities for examination and audits of the cost account records, shall make such returns and reports to a representative as may be required, shall produce and exhibit such books, accounts, documents and property as the representative may desire to inspect, and shall in all things aid the representative in the performance of audit duties. G. If any amount paid by MAPA to the County under this Agreement is found to be ineligible for reimbursement from the sponsoring federal agency, the County shall pay such amount back to MAPA.
4
9. SUBMISSION OF VOUCHERS/INVOICES A. The County may submit monthly, but no less than quarterly, documented invoices of costs incurred for the work elements and work activities that were previously identified in Sections 3A and 3E of this Agreement. Said reports shall account for the expenditure of Federal and the County shares, shall indicate work program percentage completion, and shall contain a statement of the County's estimate of the percentage of work completed and be signed by a responsible representative of GIS certifying that all of the items herein are true and correct for the work performed under the terms of this Agreement. Final payment shall be made upon determination by MAPA and NDOT that all requirements hereunder have been completed, which determination shall not be unreasonably withheld.

MAPA may withhold ten percent (10%) of the total compensation pending a final audit of this Agreement, 120 days from the end date of this agreement. B. All invoices shall be taken from the books of account kept by the County and the County shall have available copies of payroll distribution, receipted bills or other documents reasonably required by MAPA. The County shall use actual labor rates for billing purposes. C. The County shall have available a listing of all the County personnel positions that may be selected or assigned to the work contemplated herein. Said listing shall indicate the title or classification and salary range of each such position. It is agreed that employees of the County, whose time is directly assignable to this FY 2019 Program, shall keep and sign a time record showing the work element and work activity of the FY 2019 Program, date and hours worked, and title of position. D. It is understood that reimbursement for out-of-state (other than Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas) travel costs, will not be requested unless written prior approval for such travel has been given by MAPA and the State. The rate of reimbursement will be that allowed by the State for travel by its own employees. E. If the FHWA notifies MAPA that a cost item (as identified in the cost circulars and regulations identified herein) paid to the County under this Agreement is not eligible for funding by the FHWA, then the County shall reimburse to MAPA the amount of the ineligible cost item.
10. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT FOR CAUSE A. If, through any cause, the County shall fail to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, or if the County shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or stipulations of this Agreement, or refuse to accept changes required by NDOT, MAPA shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the County of such termination and specifying the effective date of such termination. In that event, all finished
5
or unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings and reports prepared by the County shall be made available to MAPA, and the County shall be entitled to receive compensation for all expenses incurred or obligated on all work mutually agreed to be satisfactorily completed through the effective date of termination. B. The above also applies when the Agreement may be terminated because of circumstances beyond the control of MAPA or the County.
11. CHANGES The County or MAPA may, from time to time, request changes in the Scope of Services set forth in this Agreement, which are to be performed by the County GIS Coordinator. Such changes, including any increase or decrease in the amount of the County's compensation, which are mutually agreed upon by and between MAPA and the County, and subject to the approval of the NDOT, shall be incorporated in written amendments to this Agreement and duly executed by authorized officials of the Parties.
12. ASSIGNABILITY Neither the County nor MAPA shall assign any interest in this Agreement, and shall not transfer any interest in the same (whether by assignment or novation), without prior written mutual consent.
13.

Appendix II – MAPA Council of Officials, Board of Directors, and Transportation Technical Advisory Committee Membership
The preparation of this report was financed in part with funding from United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), administered by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT). The opinions, findings and conclusions expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent USDOT, NDOT, and Iowa DOT. MAPA is an EOE/DBE employer.
Exhibit I: MAPA FY2019 Unified Work Program
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) documents the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency’s (MAPA’s) transportation related activities and projects for fiscal year (FY) 2019 which encompasses July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. MAPA serves as a voluntary association of local governments in the greater Omaha region chartered in 1967. MAPA performs planning and development work, especially to address problems that are regional in scope and cross jurisdictional boundaries.
MAPA is the Council of Governments (COG) for Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington Counties in Nebraska and Pottawattamie and Mills Counties in Iowa. MAPA serves as the federally required Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Transportation Management Area (TMA) for a smaller region that encompasses Douglas and Sarpy Counties and a small portion along US Highway 75 in Cass County in Nebraska, as well as the southwestern portion of Pottawattamie County (i.e., the area generally south of Crescent and Underwood and west of L-52) in Iowa. In addition, MAPA provides staff support for the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) for Harrison, Mills, Pottawattamie, and Shelby Counties known as RPA- 18. Planning activities for RPA-18 are contained in a separate RPA-18 Transportation Planning Work Program (TPWP). The map below outlines the MAPA COG region and highlights the TMA boundary.
The governing body for MAPA is a 64-member Council of Officials representing cities, counties, school districts, resource agencies, and numerous other governmental bodies within the region. The MAPA Board of Directors is a nine-member Board serving as the Council of Officials’ executive committee and is comprised of elected officials representing cities and counties from the larger five-county MAPA region. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC) reviews and makes recommendations related to transportation to the MAPA Board. The relationship, responsibility, and composition of the Board of Directors, Council of Officials, and TTAC are also described in the MAPA Interlocal Agreement and Committee Bylaws. Membership is listed in Appendix II.

Exhibit I: MAPA FY2019 Unified Work Program
Several large planning initiatives have been recently completed or are underway in the MAPA region. Heartland 2050 was adopted by the MAPA Council of Officials as the long-term vision for the greater Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area in January 2015. The Regional Vision was developed over 2013 and 2014 and entered implementation phase in 2015. The project produced a Vision Scenario for future growth and development that is now being utilized for MAPA’s transportation planning process. This collaborative project is an example of Regional Models of Cooperation, one of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Planning Emphasis Areas (PEA).
During FY-2018 MAPA continued work on its next Long Range Transportation Plan update, LRTP 2050. The LRTP is being closely coordinated with the Metro Area Travel Improvement Study (MTIS), a joint Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) / MAPA multi-year regional study of highway needs that will result in a list of prioritized projects for state investment and guide future regional transportation investments. This comprehensive study has developed a strong set of data for MTIS and other planning projects, and MAPA’s travel demand model has been updated significantly as part of ongoing collaboration with US-DOT. MTIS will also serve to develop long-range performance targets that will be support the requirements of MAP-21 and the FAST- ACT, the current transportation authorization bill. Throughout FY2018 MAPA closely coordinated with State DOTs and FHWA on implementing federal performance management guidelines– most notably in terms of Transit Asset Management and Safety Performance Measures. The performance-based approach is a new component of the federal transportation planning process and is another federal PEA that will be very important during FY2019.
The LRTP 2050 will also incorporate other recent plans that were conducted in the metro are. These include the Heartland Connections Regional Transit Vision (RTV) and Regional Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan. The RTV proposed a staged approach to improve transit service in the region. These concepts were applied as part of the Sarpy County Transit study in FY2018 in addition to Metro Transit’s Transit Development Plan– a key initiative in both FY2018 and FY2019. These scenarios are being utilized for further analysis in the MTIS study. The Bicycle- Pedestrian Plan proposes short, medium, and long-range projects to enhance the regional network of trails, bicycle boulevards, and other bicycle / pedestrian facilities.
Metro Transit is continuing work on the Bus Raid Transit (BRT) line that was awarded a US-DOT discretionary TIGER grant that will run along the Dodge Street corridor from downtown Omaha to Westroads Mall at approximately 102nd Street. This premium transit service would serve as the spine of the transit network in the region. The project will help some of the densest concentrations of employment and housing in Omaha and exemplify the Ladders of Opportunity PEA. Final Design was initiated in FY2017 and will be construction will commence in 2018.
In FY2019 MAPA will continue to emphasize freight planning as part of the Regional Transportation Planning Process. The Nebraska Department of Transportation completed its State Freight Plan in 2017 and MAPA will continue partner with NDOT on the plan’s implementation and continued outreach. In 2018 MAPA identified a specific need for additional truck count data and is coordinating with NDOT to increase the frequency with which truck counts are conducted and also target them in areas where gaps current exists in MAPA’s data. MAPA’s ongoing improvements to the travel demand model will allow additional technical analysis of freight transportation in the metro area. In addition, MAPA will continue to work with the private sector, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and other stakeholders to ensure that freight and goods movement are fully involved in the planning and project development process.
Some of the City of Omaha major transportation projects include bridge needs, a massive signal infrastructure upgrade, and several capacity improvements in the western part of Omaha, including multiple projects near West Dodge Road (US-6) along 168th Street, 180th Street, 192nd Street. Omaha is also finalizing plans for a modern streetcar project to run between North Downtown and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Douglas County is continuing work on a large project on 180th Street between West Dodge Road and West Maple Road.

Exhibit I: MAPA FY2019 Unified Work Program
During FY-2018, communities in Sarpy County created a new intergovernmental authority to manage the growth of the sanitary sewer system in the county and to rehabilitate sewers in existing communities as well. This infrastructure will be crucial in guiding future development in Sarpy County and will be a critical factor in future transportation decisions. MAPA awarded a H2050 mini-grant to Sarpy County to explore the future needs on the arterial and collector road system based on these proposed growth trends. The Highway 75 project will be under construction that will connect Bellevue and Plattsmouth with a grade-separated freeway. MAPA successfully coordinated resources between the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Sarpy County, Cass County, Bellevue, Plattsmouth, and the Papio-Missouri River NRD (PMRNRD) to ensure that this new corridor did not preclude bicycle and pedestrian access. Girders for the trail connection on this segment were installed during FY2018 and MAPA continued to coordinate with make progress towards the construction of the connecting trail.
The Council Bluffs Interstate (CBIS) Project, a complete reconstruction of the interstate and railroad realignment, is scheduled to continue for at least the next eight years. Council Bluffs recently completed a plan for the West Broadway corridor that includes redevelopment and land use, as well as reconstruction of West Broadway. A significant mixed-use project is currently under construction at Playland Park on the east end of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Transportation in this area continues to be a key focus as community leaders and the philanthropic community are reimagining the riverfront and seeking to balance its redevelopment potential and access to open space.
Work has continued on the development of a Coordinated Call Center and information sharing for the region. Metro Transit, the Veterans Administration (VA), and MAPA are working together to coordinate the development and implementation of the Coordinated Call Center including the purchase of hardware, software, and system engineering. Presently, Metro Transit’s MOBY Paratransit service is coordinated along with the State of Nebraska’s Medicare & Medicaid Transportation services. It’s anticipated that more organizations will be brought into this framework in the future.
MAPA is working on Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) projects including up to 20 electric vehicle charging stations and the implementation of 30 to 40 bike share stations in the City of Omaha. Both projects began in FY 2015 and will continue with many phases between FY 2017 and 2020.
MAPA will administer and update the region’s FY 2018-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP includes state and local federal-aid projects and regionally significant projects programmed in the region for the next six years. In addition to roadway projects, the TIP covers anticipated expenditures for some alternative transportation projects such as the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), transit, and aviation. In FY2018 MAPA created an online TIP database and mapping platform that provides up-to-date programming information to project partners and helps track the status of projects in both Iowa and Nebraska.
MAPA’s Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC) works on issues related to public transit, paratransit, and human services transportation. A FTA Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) grant to develop a Coordinated Call Center for human services made progress through the first two summits during FY 2015. The project was continued in FY2018 with the goal of developing a coordinated network to connect trips within the region. Large purchases of equipment for this project were purchased in FY2018, and coordination continues with the integration of the technology into Metro Transit’s buses. This core network of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology will provide real-time data toe other agencies and serve as the foundation of coordinated services between human service organizations and transit agencies in the region. This effort, in addition to the transit activities listed previously, addresses the Ladders of Opportunity PEA by improving gaps in the transportation system and mobility for residents. MAPA’s robust public participation processes are other examples of steps toward the Ladders of Opportunity PEA.

Exhibit I: MAPA FY2019 Unified Work Program
MAPA’s Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is developed in accordance with the metropolitan planning provisions described in the 23 CFR - Part 450 and 49 CFR - Part 613. The UPWP is created in cooperation with state and federal agencies who are financial sponsors, and it is intended as a management tool for participating agencies.
MAPA held a planning retreat with the MAPA Board in late 2016 that provided a framework for the long-term goals for the agency. During the development of the UPWP, a priority setting process was used to evaluate existing programs and projects against these goals. Additional outreach was conducted to the Council of Officials, Board of Directors, and TTAC to understand our members’ needs for the upcoming year. Results of the priority setting process are reflected by the projects and associated funding levels shown in the UPWP.
In accord with the spirit of federal transportation legislation, MAPA conducts a continuing, coordinated, and comprehensive planning process for the region. This process is intended to meet the transportation needs of the region’s residents to the extent possible with available resources.
The transportation planning process for the region takes into account all modes of transportation: roadway, highway, transit, air, rail, and water, as well as active modes of transportation such as walking and bicycling. The provision of transportation services must also be consistent and compatible with the overall goals and development of the region. Major considerations include the environment, energy conservation, growth patterns, land use, tourism, and recreation, as well as a wise and efficient use of economic resources.
MAPA’s responsibilities include the LRTP, TIP, and UPWP. As a TMA with a population greater than 200,000, MAPA is charged with conducting a Congestion Management Process (CMP). Other planning products include the Coordinated Public Transit and Human Services Plan and Public Participation Plan (PPP). MAPA is compliant with civil rights legislation and maintains a Title VI Plan and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.
The UPWP will also contain activities to assist in implementing provisions contained in surface transportation legislation. The following planning factors identified in the current federal legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, will, at a minimum, be considered in the transportation planning process for the region: 1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency. 2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users. 3. Increase the security of transportation for motorized and nonmotorized users. 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight. 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life. 6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system across and between modes for people and freight. 7. Promote efficient system management and operation. 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. 9. Improve resiliency & reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate storm water impacts. 10. Enhance travel and tourism
iv
Exhibit I: MAPA FY2019 Unified Work Program
In addition, the transportation planning program is formulated to support the goals and objectives specific to the region as identified in the 2040 LRTP, namely: 1. Maximize access and mobility. 2. Increase safety and security. 3. Consider the environment and urban form. 4. Keep costs reasonable and sustainable.
The UPWP budget includes additional matching funds beyond the 20% requirement from sub-recipients used to match FHWA PL funds for MAPA activities. These locally-funded planning activities contribute to the regional transportation planning process and are eligible to count toward the required local match for PL funding. In order to provide this match, sub-recipients of PL funds contribute a 30% match. The 10% of additional match beyond the 20% requirement provides match toward PL funds for MAPA activities. Sub-recipients for the FY2019 Work Program are summarized in the table below.

Performance management agreement between MAPA and State DOTs On May 27, 2016, the final rule for statewide and metropolitan transportation planning was published, based on 2012’s Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act and 2015’s Fixing America’s Transportation System (FAST) Act. As part of this final rule, 23 CFR 450.314 (h) was amended to state: (h)(1) The MPO(s), State(s), and the providers of public transportation shall jointly agree upon and develop specific written provisions for cooperatively developing and sharing information related to transportation performance data, the selection of performance targets, the reporting of performance targets, the reporting of performance to be used in tracking progress toward attainment of critical outcomes for the region of the MPO (see §450.306(d)), and the collection of data for the State asset management plan for the NHS for each of the following circumstances: (i) When one MPO serves an urbanized area; (ii) When more than one MPO serves an urbanized area; and (iii) When an urbanized area that has been designated as a TMA overlaps into an adjacent MPA serving an urbanized area that is not a TMA. (2) These provisions shall be documented either: (i) As part of the metropolitan planning agreements required under paragraphs (a), (e), and (g) of this section; or (ii) Documented in some other means outside of the metropolitan planning agreements as determined cooperatively by the MPO(s), State(s), and providers of public transportation. In 2017, the following three-pronged approach was cooperatively developed to address 23 CFR 450.314 (h) for MPOs in Iowa. This approach provides a regular opportunity to review and update coordination methods as performance management activities occur, which offers an adaptable framework as performance-based planning and programming evolves. Agreement between the Iowa DOT and MPOs on applicable provisions through documentation included in each MPO’s TPWP. Agreement between the Iowa DOT and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in each public transit agency’s consolidated funding application. Agreement between each MPO and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in the appropriate cooperative agreement(s) between the MPO and relevant public transit agencies. Performance measures require coordination with the MPOs to set performance targets, collect performance measure data and report performance measure data to FHWA and/or FTA. These requirements are included in

this MPO manual as detailed in this section and identify the responsibilities for carrying out performance-based planning and programming in the metropolitan planning area (23 CFR 450.314(h)). National goals and performance management measures are identified in 23 U.S.C §150 and Federal Transit performance measures for capital assets are identified in 49 CFR §625.43 and safety in 49 CFR Part 673.
This following section includes the provisions for cooperatively developing and sharing information related to transportation performance data, selecting performance targets, reporting performance targets, performance used in tracking progress toward attainment of critical outcomes for the region of the MPO, and collecting data for the State Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) for the NHS. Inclusion of the following language in an MPO’s TPWP, and that TPWP’s subsequent approval by Iowa DOT, constitutes agreement on these items. The Iowa DOT and MAPA agree to the following provisions. The communication outlined in these provisions between the MPO and Iowa DOT will generally be through the statewide planning coordinator in the Office of Systems Planning. 1) Transportation performance data a. The NDOT and Iowa DOT will provide MPOs with the statewide performance data used in developing statewide targets, and will also provide MPOs with subsets of the statewide data, based on their planning area boundaries. b. If MPOs choose to develop their own target for any measure, they will provide the NDOT and Iowa DOT with any supplemental data they utilize in the target-setting process. 2) Selection of performance targets a. The NDOT and Iowa DOT will develop draft statewide performance targets in coordination with MPOs. Coordination may include in-person meetings, web meetings, conference calls, and/or email communication. MPOs shall be given an opportunity to provide comments on statewide targets before final statewide targets are adopted. b. If an MPO chooses to adopt their own target for any measure, they will develop draft MPO performance targets in coordination with the NDOT and Iowa DOT. Coordination methods will be at the discretion of the MPO, but the NDOT and Iowa DOT shall be provided an opportunity to provide comments on draft MPO performance targets prior to final approval. 3) Reporting of performance targets a.

MPO understands that FHWA will not provide funding directly to MPO; but will provide reimbursement by State with Federal funds for Eligible Planning Activities. State, pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 39-1305, will act under this Agreement as a steward of federal funds and as a liaison between MPO and FHWA. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the understanding of MPO and State concerning their respective duties to enable the planning activities to be eligible for federal-aid funding. Under this Agreement, MPO shall continue to have all duties concerning any aspect of the planning processes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty of State to MPO concerning such matters. In the event that State or FHWA find that the planning activities are ineligible for PL Funding, MPO will repay State all previously paid federal funds, as determined by State, and any costs or expenses State has incurred under this Agreement. MPO further agrees that MPO shall have no claim or right of action against State under this Agreement if FHWA determines that planning activities are not eligible in whole or in part, for Federal-aid funding. The following sections of this Agreement include the eligibility requirements and other conditions State believes in good faith that MPO must meet for MPO to be reimbursed with PL Funding. MPO acknowledges that many conditions must be met by MPO in order to receive Federal-aid reimbursement. MPO agrees to develop its UPWP in an effort to meet all federal eligibility requirements so the planning activities may be determined eligible for PL Funding.

Project Description for MAPA FY2019 PL Funding:
City of Omaha Traffic Counting Program Omaha, Nebraska
The City of Omaha’s traffic counting program is based on a three-year cycle following the industry standard accepted practices. The goal is to systematically collect traffic volume data and turning movements for over 1,150 intersections every three years on average. These counts will continue to be coordinated with the Metro Area Planning Agency (MAPA) as well as the Nebraska Department of Roads. These counts will support various tasks, including long-range transportation planning, crash analysis, signal timing, project-level analysis, and continued traffic data monitoring in the MAPA region.
Scope/Requirements: Traffic counts at approximately 1,150 locations within the City of Omaha’s jurisdiction would be completed on a three-year cycle, including approximately 80 high-priority intersections counted every two years, 125 counts at project locations, and another 900 + counts every three years. The proposed budget for FY 2019 includes traffic counts at approximately 385 locations. The volume, speed and classification data all contribute to the regional traffic count database managed by the Metro Area Planning Agency. Data includes 15 minute intervals, peak periods, estimated average daily traffic counts, pedestrians, as well as bicycles and trucks when requested. Speed and classification data is collected at only select locations, as necessary. The count data is also available on the City of Omaha government website, and is shared with local agencies via hard copy and also electronically when required.
Public Works Engineers would also be involved in various meetings impacting regional planning issues including the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, Long Range Transportation Planning, Multi- Model, Urban Planning, etc. which directly influence the prioritization and scheduling of traffic counts based on both City of Omaha and the Metro Area Planning Agency needs, both short-term and long- term.
Deliverables:
Data will be updated and delivered quarterly to the Metro Area Planning Agency, Nebraska Department of Roads, Douglas County Engineers, and to City of Omaha Public Works and Planning Department officials. It will also be made available to the public via the City of Omaha government website.

MAPA Interlocal Agreement – Proposed Amendment
This verbiage is proposed for inclusion in the Interlocal Agreement providing for the “TIP fee.” It is intentionally non-specific and allows the specifics to be detailed in the annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This facilitates the possibility for future adjustments to be made without amending the Interlocal Agreement, which is a significant process.
Section 7.xx
“Beginning July 1, 2018, MAPA will collect a “TIP fee” for all eligible federal-aid projects in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) from members that are within the Transportation Management Area (TMA), also referred to as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The amount of the TIP fee and the specific federal funding programs for which the fee is required shall be identified in the TIP annually and approved by the Board of Directors.”
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
X.a – TIP Fee and Applicability
MAPA will collect a TIP fee for all eligible projects programmed in the implementation year of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Eligible projects are local projects programmed with regional Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) and Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding. These funding sources are identified in the TIP as STBG-MAPA and TAP-MAPA, respectively. The TIP fee does not apply to projects utilizing other funding sources that are included in the TIP (State projects, transit projects, HSIP/TSIP, CMAQ, etc.). STBG-MAPA and TAP-MAPA projects with total project costs less than $100,000 shall be exempt from the TIP fee. Planning studies shall be exempt from the TIP fee.
The amount of the TIP fee shall be one percent (1%) of the federal funds on an eligible project. The implementation year refers to the first year of the TIP program, which begins on October 1 of each year.
X.b – Large Projects
Eligible projects with more than $10 million in federal funds for project costs will be assessed a tiered fee. The tiered TIP fee shall be calculated as follows:
Project Cost (federal share) TIP fee as a % of federal funds
$0-$10,000,000 1.0%
$10,000,001 plus 0.5%
For example, the tiered TIP fee for an eligible project receiving $15 million in federal funds would be $125,000, calculated as follows:
Project Costs Tiered TIP fee Rate Amount of Tiered TIP fee
$10,000,000 1.0% $100,000
$ 5,000,000 0.5% $ 25,000
Total Tiered TIP fee $125,000
X.c – Federal-aid “Swap” Projects
The TIP fee shall apply to projects included in the TIP that are part of the Federal-aid swap. The federal-aid swap refers to State Department of Transportation (DOT) programs by which the State DOT provides state funding in exchange for the federal funding that would otherwise be utilized by cities and counties. The amount of the TIP fee assessed shall be the ratios identified in sections X.b toward the federal funds swapped for the local project. For example, if a local jurisdiction swaps $1 million in federal funds for state funds, then the TIP fee would be $10,000, or 1%, of $1 million.
X.d – Project Costs
The TIP fee shall apply to the expenses identified for obligation in the implementation year of the TIP for all project phases, including but not limited to preliminary engineering/NEPA, final design, right-of-way, construction-construction engineering and utilities.
X.e. – TIP Fee Payment Terms
The TIP fee shall be assessed and invoiced after the Final TIP is approved by the MAPA Board of Directors, typically in June of each year. TIP fee payments in Nebraska will be due by the thirtieth (30) day of September of each year. TIP fee payments in Iowa will be due when the Iowa DOT Transportation Project Management System (TPMS) shows the funding as obligated, which requires the execution of a federal fund project agreement. Failure to pay the TIP fee could result in project removal from the TIP or reprogramming to an illustrative year of the TIP program.
The Executive Director shall have the ability to provide payment terms of up to 2 years of the assessed TIP fee. Any adjustments to the payment terms beyond 2 years or change in the assessed amount shall be presented to the MAPA Board of Directors for approval.
X.f – Amendments & Administrative Modifications to Projects
Eligible projects that are programmed into the implementation year of the TIP through a TIP amendment or administrative modification will also be subject to the TIP fee. The TIP fee will be due within sixty (60) days of the invoice date.
X.g. Advance Construction Projects
Advance Construction (AC) funding allows a jurisdiction to begin a project in the absence of sufficient federal- aid obligation using non-federal funds. The project is converted to a federal-aid project by obligating the permissible share of its federal-aid funds and receiving reimbursement at a later time. TIP fees will apply to eligible projects receiving Advance Construction (AC) funding. Payment for the TIP fee will be collected prior to programming of partial or full conversion of federal funds in the TIP in the implementation year.
X.h. Cost Adjustments
Project costs funded with federal funds that exceed the amount identified in the TIP will be subject to the TIP fee. No refund will be granted to an eligible project that is obligated at a cost lower than that in the TIP; however, should the difference be greater than $10,000 a credit will be available to be applied against the TIP fee for a future project. For example, if project costs are obligated for $7.5 million in federal funds after being programmed for $9 million in federal funds, a reduction of $1.5 million in federal funds would provide a credit of 1% of $1.5 million ($15,000), toward future TIP fees. These deviations will be tracked based on the summary of obligations and de-obligations provided by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT).
X.i. Non-federal Funds
The TIP fee must be paid with non-federal funds according to federal matching requirements.
Draft MAPA FY2019-FY2024 Transportation Improvement Program Introduction
1.1 Metropolitan Area Planning Agency Overview The Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA) is a voluntary association of local governments in the greater Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Chartered in 1967, the MAPA Council of Governments (COG) performs planning and development work to address problems that are regional in scope and multijurisdictional in nature. The general MAPA COG region covers five counties in Nebraska and Iowa. These counties include Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington Counties in Nebraska and Pottawattamie and Mills Counties in Iowa.
1.1.1 MAPA as a Metropolitan Planning Organization MAPA serves as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. MPOs are mandated to exist by Federal transportation legislation to serve five (5) core functions:
1. Establish a fair and impartial setting for regional decision-making in the metropolitan area 2. Evaluate transportation alternatives, scaled to the size and complexity of the region, to the nature of its transportation issues, and to the realistically available options, 3. Develop and maintain a fiscally constrained long-range transportation plan for the jurisdictional with a planning horizon of at least twenty (20) years that fosters: a. Mobility and access for people and goods b. Efficient system performance and preservation, and c. Quality of life 4. Develop a fiscally constrained program based on the long range transportation plan and designed to serve regional goals 5. Involve the general public and all significantly affected sub-groups in each of the four functions as shown above
The MAPA MPO planning area is a sub-area of the MAPA COG region. MAPA’s Transportation Management Area (TMA) is the area in which federal funding apportioned to the MAPA MPO may be used. Federal legislation requires that the TMA include the entire US Census Urbanized Area. The Census Urbanized Area is updated with every decennial census to include areas that meet the character and nature of adjacent urbanized areas.
The MAPA TMA is shown in Figure 1.1 and includes the entirety of Douglas and Sarpy Counties in Nebraska along with the western portion of Pottawattamie County surrounding Council Bluffs, Iowa. Recently, the MAPA TMA boundary has extended into northeastern Cass County, Nebraska based upon the expanded 2010 US Census Urbanized Area Boundary.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-1
Figure 1.1 – MAPA Transportation Management Area (TMA)
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-2
Based on information from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey, the MAPA TMA is home to approximately 767,000 people. The Transportation Management Area covers the core urbanized portion of the largest metropolitan area in Nebraska and Iowa. 1.1.2 MAPA Committee Structure The governing body for MAPA is a 64 member Council of Officials, with members representing cities, counties, school districts, resource agencies, and numerous other governmental bodies within the MAPA region. The MAPA Board of Directors is a nine-member board that serves as the Council of Officials’ executive committee.
The Board of Directors is comprised of elected officials representing cities and counties from the larger five-county MAPA region. The MAPA Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC) reviews and makes recommendations related to transportation to the MAPA Board. Various other committees listed below are involved in MAPA’s planning process and provide input and recommendations to the MAPA Board. The MAPA committee structure is displayed below in Figure 1.2.
Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC), Project Selection Committee (ProSeCom), Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C);
The Citizens’ Advisory Council (CAC) was formed in 2014 to provide feedback on planning activities presented to TTAC for approval and it informs TTAC of public concerns related to transportation projects and issues.

1.2 The Transportation Planning Process To implement the five core functions of an MPO (referenced in Section 1.1.1), MAPA undertakes a continuous planning process that involves stakeholder outreach, public participation, and coordination with federal, state and local government organizations. The following subsections outline these ongoing planning processes. 1.2.1 Long Range Transportation Plan The transportation planning process begins with the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). LRTPs serve as the guiding documents for transportation improvements in MPO regions. The MAPA 2040 LRTP, completed in October 2015, includes regional goals, objectives and strategies for implementation of projects over the next 25 years.
An LRTP must demonstrate fiscal constraint based upon a reasonably expected revenue projection to cover the cost of anticipated improvement projects that have been inflated to anticipated year of expenditure (YOE) costs. This means that the future cost of a project has been estimated based upon trend data for raw materials, engineering, and property acquisition, as well as construction costs. Figure 1.3 illustrates the Long Range Planning process.
Figure 1.3 – Long Range Plan Development Process
Traffic/ Public Meetings Regional Goals Congestion Trends
Bicycle/ MTIS Heartland 2050 Pedestrian Plan
Long Range Plan
The MAPA 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) was developed in a cooperative and coordinated effort with state, local, and federal agencies along with the general public and private industry. In order for a project to be implemented through the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), it first must be evaluated, prioritized, and programmed in the LRTP. Regionally significant projects must be listed in the LRTP to be eligible for federal aid funding. However, projects that meet specific criteria (are regionally significant and/or on a priority corridor) and abide by the goals of the LRTP may be eligible for federal funding and listed in the TIP.
A transportation project is regionally significant if it is on a facility which serves regional transportation needs; access to and from the area outside the region, service to major activity centers in the region, or
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-4 connections to major planned developments and would normally be included in the modeling of the metropolitan area's transportation network1. At a minimum, this includes all principal arterial highways and all fixed transit facilities that offer a significant alternative to regional highway travel.
1.2.2 Transportation Improvement Program A Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is, in simple terms, a list of upcoming transportation projects covering a period of at least four years. It is a financial programming document that displays the schedule for the obligation of funding for the four-year program of various improvement projects that are funded through the administrations of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). MAPA updates this document annually.
1.2.3 Unified Planning Work Program Each year, MAPA is responsible for creating a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The UPWP identifies MAPA’s work items, guides MAPA’s efforts, and allocates budget to specific task items for the upcoming fiscal year. The Work Program also documents expenditures of transportation planning funds and gives the end results for each work item.
1.2.4 Congestion Management Process The Congestion Mitigation Plan (CMP) aims to provide effective management and operation of the transportation system to increase mobility and efficiency by more effectively utilizing the region’s resources. The eight steps of the CMP are listed below, a more detailed plan can be found in the MAPA 2040 LRTP.

Implement Institute System Monitor Strategy Selected Identify/Evaluate Performance Effectiveness Strategies/Manage Strategies Monitoring Plan Strategies
1.2.5 Coordinated Transit Plan The Coordinated Transit Plan (CTP) is developed by MAPA and the local Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC). The CTP outlines the key obstacles, stakeholders, and strategies to better coordinate public transportation service in the MAPA region. The Coordinated Transit Committee guides the project development and selection of federal-aid eligible coordinated transportation projects to be implemented in this region.

MAP-21 legislation revised Section 5310 Grants- Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities - funding to allow for specific apportionments to metropolitan areas; MAPA, Iowa Department of Transportation and the Nebraska Department of Transportation are the Designed Recipients of the Section 5310 program by the governors of Nebraska and Iowa.
As the Designated Recipient of 5310, MAPA, in conjunction with NDOT and IDOT, completed an FTA approved Program Management Plan (PMP) in 2014, which details how MAPA plans to manage the 5310 process. In addition, MAPA develops an annual Program of Projects (POP), which delineates funding to specific projects per funding year (Table 5.3).
1.3 Public Involvement Public involvement and participation is necessary to ensure a vibrant and meaningful planning process. MAPA’s Public Participation Plan (located at http://mapacog.org/reports/2015-public-participation-plan/) details the public outreach process and public participation opportunities. Specifically, the Public Participation Plan (PPP) details how MAPA involves the public early and often in the TIP planning and implementation process, helps to ensure that decisions are made in consideration of public opinion and preference to meet the needs of the public. The public involvement process creates a collaborative environment, which builds trust and understanding between the public and those who serve them.
1.3.1 MAPA Public Involvement Strategies MAPA strives to involve the public and provide opportunities for participation in a variety of ways. The list below details the general public involvement strategies utilized by MAPA for this TIP document, please see Chapter 6 for the complete public involvement process.
● MAPA’s website (www.mapacog.org) was utilized to announce meetings, draft TIPs, public comment periods, and, upon approval, the TIP document itself. It also provided contact information to reach MAPA staff with comments. Following MAPA staff review of applications a prioritized list by funding category was developed for project selection. This list was published on the MAPA website and posted for review at the MAPA offices. It was also send in a press release to local media. Public comments were accepted for 30 days prior to the final selection committee review and approval of the prioritized lists for inclusion into the draft TIP. ● MAPA’s newsletter, What’s Happening, is available to the public free of charge and provides up-to- date news on the status of planning activities. The newsletter contained a story about the opportunity to comment on the TIP. ● Press releases were sent to local media to help inform the public of the opportunity to comment on the draft TIP. ● MAPA established a Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) to assist with the transportation public involvement process. MAPA also utilized its extensive network of contacts to share announcements with neighborhood groups, organizations representing or working with historically disadvantaged groups, business groups, transportation advocates, and others who are interested in local transportation planning. MAPA placed particular importance in reaching out to the traditionally underserved, including low-income and minority groups.
MAPA continually solicits and receives participation from members of the public as a part of its transportation planning process. Input and participation for MAPA’s TIP are encouraged as early as possible
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-6 as the TIP is one of the last stages in the project development process. Public involvement is requested as early as the beginning of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) process. The ideas for most projects listed in the LRTP eventually become construction projects as they are proposed by sponsor jurisdictions and added to the TIP. The public has several opportunities to become involved in the transportation planning process as projects are selected for inclusion in the TIP every fiscal year.
The public can review and comment when the draft list of projects is submitted to the public for feedback and then again when the draft TIP is released in its entirety. An overview of this process is shown in Figure 1.5.

1.3.2 Involvement through the MAPA Committee Structure MAPA’s public and stakeholder involvement through committees brings together a broad array of groups, advocates, and interests to provide input and comments to MAPA staff and the MAPA Board of Directors. The MAPA Board of Directors, TTAC, CTC, and CAC meetings are open to the public. Many of MAPA’s committees provide key input into the planning process through diversity in membership. The organization of MAPA’s transportation-related committees can be viewed previously in Figure 1.2 on page 1-3. 1.3.3 TIP Development Public Involvement Following the completion of the Draft TIP, MAPA published a notice of its availability for public review and comment. The Draft MAPA TIP is made available to the public for review and comment for 30 days
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-7 following the approval of the draft for public comment by the MAPA Board. MAPA utilized the following strategies to encourage public involvement in the TIP process:
● Published a notice in local newspapers of the availability for public review and comment. ● Post the document on the MAPA website along with an announcement of its availability for review and comment. ● Discuss the document and its availability for review and comment in the MAPA newsletter, which was distributed to an extensive mailing list including many community groups. ● Presented the draft document to select committees, including the Citizens’ Advisory Council (CAC), for comment and community engagement.
MAPA addressed public comments and included public comments (if any) that MAPA received in Chapter 6, Section 6.2 in the final approved MAPA TIP.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 1-8
Programming Process
2.1 Introduction MAPA’s TIP includes projects funded by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) and its associated administrations. The Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and Federal Aviation Administration provide funding for roadways & trails, public transit, and aviation projects respectively. The MAPA TIP includes basic project information such as the anticipated cost estimates, proposed funding sources, and schedule for each phase of federally-funded projects. Non-federal projects are shown with less-detailed listings that provide basic project information. 2.1.1 Legislative Requirements The current authorized federal transportation legislation is the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST). FAST charges MPOs with the creation and maintenance of a fiscally-constrained Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).1 Creating a fiscally constrained TIP requires MAPA to allocate an amount of projects (based upon reasonable estimates) within the limits of reasonably available future revenues (based upon historical trends). MAPA cooperates and coordinates with state and local governments and public transit operators to create a TIP that prioritizes and lists all federally-funded and regionally significant transportation projects programmed for at least the next four fiscal years. Federal regulations require only four years but MAPA has chosen to program six years to better coordinate with local 1 & 6 Year Plans.
The projects listed in the TIP must be financially realistic and achievable; as such, this TIP is fiscally- constrained for fiscal years 2019 through 2022. Projects are also listed for 2023 and 2024 for illustrative purposes, indicating that there are long-term plans to move forward with the projects, but they are not part of the four-year, fiscally-constrained program.
Illustrative projects are not guaranteed to be awarded the funding that they have been assigned and are not fiscally constrained. Illustrative projects are shown in the TIP to allow for earlier project phases (such as preliminary engineering and environmental compliance) to occur. Projects are included in the TIP when full funding can reasonably be anticipated to be available for the project before its predicted completion date. Project development schedules require timelines that sometimes exceed the four year period of the TIP. When this occurs, projects that extend beyond the first four-year (fiscally constrained) period are shown in the illustrative years. Some projects may list construction phases beyond 2024 as they are not anticipated to begin construction until beyond the six year period encompassed by the MAPA TIP. 2.1.2 Maintenance of the Transportation Improvement Program Federal regulations require a TIP be updated every four years. NDOT and IDOT administrative policy necessitates that MAPA update the TIP annually. After approval by the MAPA Board of Directors, the TIP is sent for approval by the governors of Nebraska and Iowa (typically represented by NDOT and Iowa DOT). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) also review and approve the TIP and have final approval of State Transportation Improvement Plans (STIP) which include all local TIPs.

MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-1
2.2 Regional Transportation Funding The FAST Act and previous transportation authorizations use the term suballocation to refer to portions of the federal funds apportioned to a State that must be used in specific areas within the State. Under FAST, suballocation is required for a portion of each State's apportionment under Surface Transportation Program Block Grants (STBG) and the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Funding (TAP). Specific Federal Transit Administration Programs (such as Section 5310 funding) utilize similar formulas to suballocate funding. MAPA receives an annual suballocation of funds for each of these programs. 2.2.1 Surface Transportation Program Block Grants (STBG) The Surface Transportation Program Block Grant funds a wide range of projects including construction, maintenance, and other projects on streets, highways, and bridges. STBG funding is extremely flexible and can be utilized for other projects including capital transit projects, enhancement projects, transportation demand management projects (e.g. carpool and vanpool), safety improvements, planning studies, natural habitat and wetlands mitigation efforts, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) improvements, among others.
STBG funding is distributed by formula to various programs and jurisdictions inside the states. Under the FAST Act, the USDOT sets two percent aside nationally for the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Additionally, States receive two percent off the top to assist in funding State Planning and Research (SPR). The funding available after these set-asides is available for suballocation based upon the following formulas:
48 Percent of STBG – States may allocate this funding to any eligible jurisdiction in the state 52 Percent of STBG – States suballocate funding based upon population into three silos o Areas under 5,000 o Areas 5,001 to 200,000 o Areas over 200,000
Each eligible silo receives funding based upon its population as a percentage of total state population. In Nebraska, TMAs (areas over 200,000 in population) had a combined population of 961,357 as of the 2010 Census. This equates to 51 percent of the total state population of 1,826,341 and affords TMAs 51 percent of Nebraska’s STBG apportionment each year
The MAPA Region receives funding from both the Nebraska and Iowa allocations of STBG. Note that the period of availability of these funds runs for the year of apportionment (FY2019) plus three subsequent fiscal years. Therefore, funding apportioned to the MAPA region in FY2019 is available to be spent from FY2019 to FY2022.
2.2.2 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Transportation Alternatives (TAP) are federally funded, community-based projects that expand travel choices and enhance the transportation experience by integrating modes and improving the cultural, historic, and environmental aspects of our transportation infrastructure. Much like the STBG-MAPA program, funding for these projects is suballocated to the MAPA region by the states. TAP projects must be one of several eligible activities and must relate to surface transportation, including the following: Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities (including ADA improvements) Safe Routes for Non-Drivers Conversion of Abandoned Railway Corridors to Trails Scenic Turn-Outs and Overlooks Outdoor Advertising Management
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-2
Historic Preservation & Rehabilitation of Historic Transportation Facilities Vegetation Management Archaeological Activities Environmental Mitigation Stormwater Mitigation Wildlife Management
The TAP project sponsor must illustrate the project's relationship to surface transportation in the project proposal. Each state Department of Transportation (DOT) works with a Federal Highway Administration representative (FHWA) to ensure that projects meet the criteria of relating to surface transportation.
2.2.3 Section 5310 Funding Section 5310, Federal Transit Act (49 U.S.C. §5310), authorizes the Secretary of the USDOT to make grants for the provision of transportation services meeting the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. Generally, funds from this program can be used for operating expense by coordinated transit providers and for capital expenditures such as new vehicles, automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems, and other equipment purchases.
MAPA has been designated by the governors of Nebraska and Iowa to administer the Section 5310 program for the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. The Coordinated Transit Committee oversees the development of MAPA’s Coordinated Transportation Plan (CTP) – the guiding document for the Section 5310 program’s administration.
Under the FAST Act MAPA receives approximately $530,000 of Section 5310 funding from FTA to fund these kinds of projects through the metropolitan region.
2.3 MAPA Project Selection Responsibilities The transportation planning processes described above inform the project selection process for the MAPA TIP. In general, projects are chosen on the basis of public input, Long Range Transportation Plan goals, the Congestion Management Process, and continuous efforts by MAPA jurisdictions to monitor and address needs such as safety, signalization, and operations and maintenance. Project selection methodology differs depending on the funding program and location. Table 2.1 below displays the general timeline for selecting projects for inclusion in the FY2019 TIP. Project selection processes differ based upon the jurisdiction leading the process but all Federal-Aid projects in the MAPA MPO area must ultimately be approved by the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee and the MAPA Board of Directors. Please note that the funding programs listed are not all inclusive.
The Project Selection Subcommittee (ProSeCom), Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP- C), and the Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC) all evaluate projects for their respective funding streams. The timeline and process for project application and review for the FY2019 Application Cycle is shown in Figure 2.2 (next page).

MAPA staff members compile the project rankings and present them to the TAP committee for review during the Final Review Workshop. During this workshop, committees may also consider additional criteria that may be relevant to the project selection (existing network continuity, phasing feasibility, equity, etc.), and selects a list of projects. Jurisdictions whose projects are rejected have the opportunity to appeal this decision at subsequent appeals hearings.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-4
Following the appeals hearings, MAPA staff works to program the selected projects into the TIP based upon the ranking, available funding, and realistic project phasing. Projects are presented for public comment and included in the draft TIP.
For the FY2019 application cycle, project applications were due to MAPA by January 19, 2018. Projects were screened and scored using the approved committee methodology. 2.3.1 Project Selection Subcommittee The Project Selection Subcommittee (ProSeCom) is a twelve member sub-committee to the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC) that includes planners, engineers, local or state staff, and public representatives. A majority of its membership of the Project Selection Committee is composed of members of the larger TTAC. Appointments to ProSeCom are made by the TTAC Chairperson. Surface Transportation Program improvement projects in the MAPA TMA are subject to the evaluation and selection of the MAPA Project Selection Committee (ProSeCom).
ProSeCom representative slots are shown below: Iowa DOT District 4 Representative Nebraska DOR District 2 Representative Metro Transit Representative Douglas County Engineer (Also represents Douglas County 2nd Class Cities) Sarpy County Engineer Sarpy County Municipalities Public Works Representative Omaha/Douglas County Municipalities Public Works Representative Omaha/Douglas County Municipalities Planning Representative Council Bluffs Public Works Representative All Metro Open Planning Representative Bicycle-Pedestrian Representative At large small cities representative
The new criteria are summarized in Table 2.2 and utilize a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data to score project applications in three project categories: General Roadway Alternative Transportation Systems Management
Table 2.2 –STBG-MAPA Project Selection Criteria Application Type Project Selection Criteria General Roadway Priority Corridors (High, Medium, Low) Future Year Level of Service Reliability Index Environmental Justice (EJ) Areas Redevelopment Areas Pavement Condition Percentage Local Match (points awarded over 30% match) Ability to Advance Construct (AC) Project Crashes per Million Vehicles & Crash Severity Index Bridge Sufficiency Bridge Status (Structurally Deficient and/or Functionally Obsolete) Bridge Detour Length Transportation Emphasis Areas

Alternative Transportation and Systems Management (technology driven) projects have a flexible target allocation of 10 - 25 percent of MAPA’s annual apportionment balance. Projects seeking funding as Alternative Transportation Projects under MAPA’s Surface Transportation Block Grant funding will apply for Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding. If the annual requests for TAP-MAPA funding exceed what is available, the Transportation Alternatives Program Committee will make a recommendation of projects to the Project Selection Committee for consideration along with other requests to STBG.
Projects submitted to MAPA for funding consideration are evaluated by the members of the Project Selection Subcommittee (ProSeCom). MAPA staff evaluates each project based upon the scoring methodology contained in the STBG-MAPA Policy Guide and makes programming recommendations to the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee.
For a full description of the MAPA STBG project selection process please visit the address below: http://mapacog.org/data-maps/stp-policy-guide/ 2.3.2 Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C) Under the FAST Act, projects funded under the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) must be competitively selected by a documented and transparent process. Each year, MAPA convenes a Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C) to competitively select new TAP-funded projects for the region. This committee is comprised of representatives from cities, counties, state departments of transportation, public health professionals, bicycle advocates, and parks & recreation officials. Ultimately, the recommendations of this committee were formalized into the policy guide used to select projects for the development of this TIP.
MAPA coordinated with local stakeholders on its Regional Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan to identify and prioritize corridors for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. During the fall of 2014, the TAP-C updated MAPA’s TAP criteria using a prioritization model developed as a part of the Regional Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan. These criteria are based upon a diverse set of socioeconomic and transportation-related data that assist the TAP- C with funding decisions.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-6
The revised criteria are summarized in Table 2.3 below and are comprised of measures in the following categories:
Table 2.3 – TAP-MAPA Project Selection Criteria Buffer Factor Weight Selection Criteria Data Source (if applicable) Local Match % Project Application – Support 5 Multi-Jurisdictional/ Project Application and Partnerships Documentation – Physical Separation of Project Application and MAPA Proposed Facility Review – Density of Pedestrian Crashes NDOT Highway Safety (Pedestrian Crashes (2011- Improvement Database; – Safety 7 2013)/Route Length) INTRANS Crash Database Posted Speed Limit Project Application and MAPA Review – Future Traffic Volume (ADT) MAPA Travel Demand Model Volume within Project Corridor Population density within 1/2 MAPA Land Use Activity 1/2 Mile mile Allocation Model (LUAAM) Employment density within 1/2 MAPA Land Use Activity 1/2 Mile Demand 6 mile Allocation Model (LUAAM) Proximity to Schools (Including INFOGROUP data and MAPA 1/4 Mile Universities) Review Level of Transit Service Metro Transit 1/4 Mile Connectivity to Existing MAPA Regional Bicycle- 1/4 Mile Facilities Pedestrian Master Plan Connectivity 9 Connectivity to MAPA Priority MAPA Project Selection 1/4 Mile Corridors Committee (ProSeCom) Proximity to Environmental MAPA Transportation Within EJ Area; Justice Areas Improvement Program (TIP) partially within EJ Equity 6 area Community Access to a Vehicle 2012 American Community 1/2 Mile (% No Vehicle Households) Survey
Selected TAP projects were accepted into the MAPA TIP using an interim qualitative evaluation process to select TAP projects from existing Transportation Enhancement (TE) projects in February of 2013. This process was based upon input from sponsoring jurisdictions, NDOT, and FHWA-Nebraska Division and was led by MAPA and members of TAP-C
The Guidance Document for TAP-MAPA Project Selection is available online at the address below: http://mapacog.org/data-maps/tap-policy-guide/
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-7
2.3.3 Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC) MAPA, the Nebraska Department of Transportation, and the Iowa Department of Transportation are designated by the States of Nebraska and Iowa as the recipients of federal funding for transit under Section 5310 – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities. This means MAPA receives a direct annual apportionment from FTA without going through the states. MAPA coordinates with the two state agencies based on memorandums of understanding.
The CTC develops the selection criteria, scoring rubric, and application for agencies requesting 5310 funding.
MAPA’S 5310 project selection process is a competitive screening similar to the STBG and TAP processes. Section 5310 selection criteria are summarized in Table 2.4. There are two funding tracts within 5310 – Traditional-Capital and Other/New Freedom-Capital and Operations.
Projects submitted for 5310 funding consideration are evaluated by MAPA staff based upon the scoring methodology contained in the CTC Selection Criteria available at the following address: http://mapacog.org/images/stories/CTC/FY2016/FY16_CTC_5310_PolicyGuide_Final.pdf. The CTC reviews the scores and makes a recommendation to TTAC, which then makes a final recommendation to the MAPA Board of Directors.
Traditional - Capital Other/New Freedom – Capital & Operations Geographic Coverage – Increased service areas for Geographic Coverage – Expand area beyond ADA applicant agency requirements Accessibility Improvements – Veterans, Seniors, Accessibility Improvements – Veterans, Seniors, Citizens Citizens with Disabilities, etc. with Disabilities, etc. Operation of Service – Increase ridership, improve Operation of Service – Expansion of service beyond ADA response time, improve efficiency, etc. requires while maintaining existing service levels Interagency Coordination – Number of project Interagency Coordination – Number of project partners partners Ridership – Increases in transit ridership Ridership – Increase or maintain transit ridership Reliability & Service Quality – Reduce travel time Reliability & Service Quality – Reduce travel time for for vehicles & riders, improve response time vehicles & riders, improve response time Transportation Service Availability – Increase Transportation Service Availability – Increase Hours of Hours of Operation, reduce coverage gaps, etc. Operation, reduce coverage gaps, etc. Life Cycle of Vehicles – Extend vehicle life, energy Life Cycle of Vehicles – Extend vehicle life, energy efficient vehicles, reduce operating costs efficient vehicles, reduce operating costs Sustainability (Bonus) – Identifies funding to Sustainability (Bonus)– Identifies funding to support support program if MAPA funding decreases program if MAPA funding decreases

Recommendations regarding award amounts and project programming were determined by the ProSeCom, TAP-C, and CTC during committee meetings in March and April 2018. In some cases, projects that were ranked higher during the evaluation process will be programmed at a later date due to the necessary phasing of projects (i.e., PE/NEPA phase must be completed before ROW phase can begin) and the ability to program less costly phases and remain in fiscal constraint.
2.3.5 MAPA TIP Fee Beginning July 1, 2018, MAPA will collect a “TIP fee” for all eligible federal-aid projects in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) from members that are within the Transportation Management Area (TMA), also referred to as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The amount of the TIP fee and the specific federal funding programs for which the fee is required shall be identified in the TIP annually and approved by the Board of Directors.
2.3.5.a – TIP Fee and Applicability
MAPA will collect a TIP fee for all eligible projects programmed in the implementation year of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Eligible projects are local projects programmed with regional Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) and Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding. These funding sources are identified in the TIP as STBG-MAPA and TAP-MAPA, respectively. The TIP fee does not apply to projects utilizing other funding sources that are included in the TIP (State projects, transit projects, HSIP/TSIP, CMAQ, etc.). STBG-MAPA and TAP-MAPA projects with total project costs less than $100,000 shall be exempt from the TIP fee. Planning studies shall be exempt from the TIP fee.
The amount of the TIP fee shall be one percent (1%) of the federal funds on an eligible project. The implementation year refers to the first year of the TIP program, which begins on October 1 of each year.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-11
2.3.5.b – Large Projects
Eligible projects with more than $10 million in federal funds for project costs will be assessed a tiered fee. The tiered TIP fee shall be calculated as follows:
Project Cost (federal share) TIP fee as a % of federal funds
$0-$10,000,000 1.0%
$10,000,001 plus 0.5%
For example, the tiered TIP fee for an eligible project receiving $15 million in federal funds would be $125,000, calculated as follows:
Project Costs Tiered TIP fee Rate Amount of Tiered TIP fee
$10,000,000 1.0% $100,000
$ 5,000,000 0.5% $ 25,000
Total Tiered TIP fee $125,000
2.3.5.c – Federal-aid “Swap” Projects
The TIP fee shall apply to projects included in the TIP that are part of the Federal-aid swap. The federal- aid swap refers to State Department of Transportation (DOT) programs by which the State DOT provides state funding in exchange for the federal funding that would otherwise be utilized by cities and counties. The amount of the TIP fee assessed shall be the ratios identified in sections X.b toward the federal funds swapped for the local project. For example, if a local jurisdiction swaps $1 million in federal funds for state funds, then the TIP fee would be $10,000, or 1%, of $1 million.
2.3.5.d – Project Costs
The TIP fee shall apply to the expenses identified for obligation in the implementation year of the TIP for all project phases, including but not limited to preliminary engineering/NEPA, final design, right-of-way, construction-construction engineering and utilities.
2.3.5.e. – TIP Fee Payment Terms
The TIP fee shall be assessed and invoiced after the Final TIP is approved by the MAPA Board of Directors, typically in June of each year. TIP fee payments in Nebraska will be due by the thirtieth (30) day of September of each year. TIP fee payments in Iowa will be due when the Iowa DOT Transportation Project Management System (TPMS) shows the funding as obligated, which requires the execution of a federal fund project agreement. Failure to pay the TIP fee could result in project removal from the TIP or reprogramming to an illustrative year of the TIP program.
The Executive Director shall have the ability to provide payment terms of up to 2 years of the assessed TIP fee. Any adjustments to the payment terms beyond 2 years or change in the assessed amount shall be presented to the MAPA Board of Directors for approval.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-12
2.3.5.f – Amendments & Administrative Modifications to Projects
Eligible projects that are programmed into the implementation year of the TIP through a TIP amendment or administrative modification will also be subject to the TIP fee. The TIP fee will be due within sixty (60) days of the invoice date.
2.3.5.g. Advance Construction Projects
Advance Construction (AC) funding allows a jurisdiction to begin a project in the absence of sufficient federal-aid obligation using non-federal funds. The project is converted to a federal-aid project by obligating the permissible share of its federal-aid funds and receiving reimbursement at a later time. TIP fees will apply to eligible projects receiving Advance Construction (AC) funding. Payment for the TIP fee will be collected prior to programming of partial or full conversion of federal funds in the TIP in the implementation year.
2.3.5.h. Cost Adjustments
Project costs funded with federal funds that exceed the amount identified in the TIP will be subject to the TIP fee. No refund will be granted to an eligible project that is obligated at a cost lower than that in the TIP; however, should the difference be greater than $10,000 a credit will be available to be applied against the TIP fee for a future project. For example, if project costs are obligated for $7.5 million in federal funds after being programmed for $9 million in federal funds, a reduction of $1.5 million in federal funds would provide a credit of 1% of $1.5 million ($15,000), toward future TIP fees. These deviations will be tracked based on the summary of obligations and de-obligations provided by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT).
2.3.5.i. Non-federal Funds
The TIP fee must be paid with non-federal funds according to federal matching requirements.
2.4 Development & Implementation of TIP Projects Based on federal, state, and local regulations, projects must navigate a process to move from concept to reality. The project lifecycle can be a complex process that may take years to complete. This section provides an overview of a generic federal-aid project and the tools MAPA utilizes to program projects accurately. 2.4.1 Lifecycle of a Typical Project in the MAPA Region A diagram and narrative of the lifecycle of a given transportation improvement project are outlined below and shown in Figure 2.3. Public involvement and participation will occur at each phase of the project’s life.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-13
Figure 2.3 – Lifecycle of a Typical TIP Project
Project concepts must first be locally developed and included in locally developed planning documents to be eligible to be entered into the MAPA Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Once the project has been included in the fiscally constrained portion of the MAPA LRTP, the project sponsor must apply to ProSeCom, TAP-C, or the CTC for inclusion in the 4th year of the fiscally constrained MAPA TIP. If it scores in the top tier of project applications, it may be included in the 4th year of the current TIP. Projects that do not make it into the top tier will be reevaluated with any new applications in subsequent application cycles.
Once the project has been included in the 4th year of the TIP it will continue to flow forward to year 3, year 2, and finally year 1 in subsequent TIP documents. Projects can only expend funding on those phases that are listed in year 1 of the TIP.
It is important to note that if a project is listed in a city or county plan with federal funding as a revenue source it may not actually have federal funding directed toward it. The MAPA TIP displays all USDOT projects in the MAPA region that are funded with federal dollars. In order to secure STBG-MAPA, TAP, or 5310 funding (federal funding), a project must navigate the above process and be included in the TIP. 2.4.2 Funding Implementation: A Two Gate Process To streamline the STBG, TAP, and 5310 project selection process and to ensure the effective use of federal funds, MAPA will allocate funding of projects in the TIP using a two gate process to move projects into the implementation year. The implementation year, or year one of the TIP, is the fiscal year during which funding for a project or project phase can be obligated. In addition to ranking projects based on criteria, projects will also be evaluated based on each project’s timeline of implementation and fiscal constraint within the TIP. The two gate process will allow projects to advance from the illustrative years to the implementation year of the TIP:
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-14
First Gate – New projects and projects wanting to move from the illustrative years to the fiscal constraint years are ranked and placed in the TIP based on each individual project’s ranking, timelines, and the available funding per year.
Second Gate - Projects that can be obligated within the first 8 months of the fiscal year will be moved to the implementation year of the TIP based on NDOT timelines and fiscal constraints.
Each project that will be programmed in the TIP must submit an attainable timeline, be ranked by MAPA staff, and approved by the relevant committee before it will be placed in the TIP. Each committee (ProSeCom, TAP-C or the CTC) will have flexibility in selecting projects that are deemed higher priority to the committee. Projects will be allowed to present an argument for implementation before the committee if the project sponsor wishes to challenge the points total or scoring of the project. No project will be allowed to move into the implementation year unless the project timeline has been approved by the Project Selection Committee (either ProSeCom, TAP-C, or CTC), TTAC, and MAPA’s Board of Directors and fits within the fiscal year as coordinated with either NDOT or Iowa DOT for each state’s projects respectively.
MAPA’s project funds are allowed to be carried over in the TIP from one Federal fiscal year to another if MAPA has not obligated all of its apportionment for that fiscal year. Only project phases that can be obligated within the first 8 months of the fiscal year based on MAPA’s programming guidelines will be eligible to be moved to the first year of the TIP. In order to ensure implementation and effective use of STBG, TAP, and 5310 funding, projects are limited to two years in the implementation year (most recent year) of the TIP. If a project cannot be obligated within two years, the project phase or phases will be moved to Advanced Construction, a later year within the TIP, or funding will be reallocated to another project. This will help ensure that deadlines will be met and help those projects that have been moved forward most effectively to proceed to construction and completion.
2.4.3 Performance Based Planning Measures: Target Setting Effective May 20, 2017, a series of related Transportation Performance Management (TPM) rules established a set of performance measures for State Departments of Transportation (State DOT) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to use as required by MAP-21 and the FAST Act. These safety performance measures carry out the HSIP and assess fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
The Safety PM Final Rule establishes five performance measures as the five-year rolling averages to include: 1. Number of Fatalities 2. Rate of Fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) 3. Number of Serious Injuries 4. Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 Million VMT 5. Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Non-motorized Serious Injuries
SAFETY PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-15
The Safety Performance Management Measures regulation supports the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and requires State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to set HSIP targets for these five safety performance measures. MPOs must establish their HSIP targets by February 27 of the calendar year in which they apply.
MPOs establish HSIP targets by either: 1. Support the State HSIP Target; or 2. Establish its own HSIP Target.
As a result of the stakeholder process, MAPA elected to establish its own HSIP targets for safety performance measures, and as a bi-state MPO, MAPA coordinated with both the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) in the process of adopting its own region-wide targets. Targets for the MAPA region were identified using VMT estimates for all public roads within the planning area to establish rate targets. These targets have since been integrated into the metropolitan transportation planning process and include a description of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving HSIP targets in the MTP, linking investment priorities in the TIP to these safety targets.
MAPA will coordinate with both NDOT and the Iowa DOT on the manner in which they will report targets to the respective state agencies. A systems performance report evaluating the condition and performance of the transportation system with respect to the safety performance targets described in the MTP including progress achieved by MAPA in achieving safety performance targets will be produced annually by MAPA to NDOT and Iowa DOT.
The following safety performance measures have been adopted by the MAPA Executive Board:

2.5 Other Federal Transportation Programs The majority of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program funds in the TIP are not directly suballocated to MAPA. In general, NDOT and Iowa DOT make programming decisions for these funding programs and MAPA cooperates with the states and local jurisdictions to program the projects in the TIP appropriately. A detailed tabulation of the funding programmed from these funding sources can be found in Chapter 3.
Funding for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs are also programmed in the TIP. Descriptions of these programs are found in the following sections. 2.5.1 Federal Transit Authority Funded Projects Federal-aid transit projects in the MAPA region are funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of the USDOT. Federal funding for transit projects under Sections 5309 - Bus and Bus Facilities - and 5307 - Urbanized Area Formula - are directed to Metro Transit to support their operations. For a listing of FTA projects receiving funding awards through MAPA’s project selection process, please refer back to Table 2.5 on page 2-11.
Metro Transit is responsible for the operation of fixed route, express/commuter bus, and Americans with Disabilities Act Complementary Paratransit Service within the city limits of Omaha, Douglas County, NE. Additionally, Metro has contracts with five contiguous political jurisdictions for the operation of transit services as part of the Metro bus system: Ralston (NE) La Vista (NE) Bellevue (NE) Papillion (NE) Council Bluffs, service provided by the Southwest Iowa Transit Agency (IA)
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-19
2.5.2 Federal Aviation Administration Programs In addition to surface transportation projects, the MAPA TIP also includes a list of projects programmed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the USDOT. Under MAP-21, federally funded airport improvement projects are must be contained in the regional Transportation Improvement Plan. For that purpose, MAPA coordinates annually with the Omaha Airport Authority to ensure that regionally significant projects are included within the Transportation Improvement Program. A listing of the Airport Improvement Program projects for the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area is included in Table 5-2 in Section 5.1.4 on page 5-47. 2.6 Revisions to the TIP It is sometimes necessary to revise the TIP during the time between annual approvals. The two types of revisions are a TIP Amendment and a TIP Administrative Modification. General guidelines are described in the sections below and a summary table with examples is provided on the next page. 2.6.1 TIP Amendments An amendment is a revision to the TIP that involves a major change to a project. This includes an addition or deletion of a project, a major change in project cost, moving a project in or out of the fiscally-constrained four years, or a major change in design concept or scope change. A “major” change is defined by MAPA by four main components, which are summarized in Table 2.6 (next page).
Amendments require public review and re-demonstration of fiscal constraint. Formal amendments should be submitted to MAPA staff at least two weeks prior to one of the eleven regularly scheduled meetings of the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC). Staff will review the amendment for impact on fiscal constraint and other factors and present the proposed amendment to TTAC. The amendment is then considered by the MAPA Board of Directors and submitted to the states and FHWA/FTA for final approval and incorporation into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs (STIP).
TIP amendment requests which may drastically alter the fiscal constraint of MAPA’s regional funding and/or constitute a “new project” based on major scope changes may be recommended to MAPA’s project selection committees to be prioritized in the next application cycle. In general, reconsideration of a project in this way would only occur when requests would greatly exceed the base TIP amendment thresholds identified in Table 2.6 or when construction costs increase 100% or more. 2.6.2 TIP Administrative Modifications An Administrative Modification is a revision to the TIP that involves a minor change to a project. This includes any change that does not meet the criteria listed above for an amendment. For instance, if a project is moved from the third year to the second year within the fiscally-constrained TIP it would not constitute a “major” change and thus, would not trigger an amendment. Other examples of revisions that would be eligible for an administrative modification include changes that are less than project cost amounts described above, minor changes to project descriptions, or splitting an entry already in the TIP, where the intent is not to add a new project that is distinct from the original TIP entry, but to more smoothly implement the original TIP entry.
To process the Administrative Modification, MAPA submits a letter with the proposed project change to NDOT and FHWA/FTA, and for projects in Iowa, MAPA submits proposed project modifications through the Transportation Project Management System (TPMS). After approval, the changes will be made in the MAPA TIP document and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs (STIP).
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-20
Projects that are eligible as administrative modifications can still be changed as an amendment. MAPA staff reserve the right to process a proposed revision as an amendment even if a project qualifies as an administrative modification. For changes in Iowa, both amendments and administrative modifications will be entered into the TPMS for review by Iowa DOT.
Table 2.6 – Summary of Requirements for Amendments & Administrative Modifications Circumstance for Revision Requirements for Each Revision Type Changes to Project Costs Amendment* Nebraska Projects: An amendment is required when Federal-Aid for a project changes by more than 20% or $2 million dollars (whichever is greater) Iowa Projects: An amendment is required when Federal-Aid for a project increases by more than 30% or $2 million dollars (whichever is greater) Example: Increasing Federal-Aid for a project from $1 million to $1.5 million would require a TIP Amendment in both Iowa and Nebraska Administrative Modification Administrative Modifications may be used to change the Federal-Aid for a project change below the thresholds identified for a TIP Amendment Example: Increasing Federal-Aid for a project from $1 million to $1.1 million may be approved with an Administrative Modification Schedule Changes Amendment* An Amendment is required to program a project phase within the first four years of the TIP if it is not a part of the existing fiscal constraint Example 1: Programming a new project within the fiscally constrained portion of the TIP would require a TIP Amendment (FY2016-FY2019) Example 2: Reprogramming a new phase of an existing TIP project into the fiscally constrained portion of the TIP (FY2016-FY2019) Administrative Modification An Administrative Modification may be used to reprogram an existing project phase within the fiscally constrained portion of the TIP Example: Reprogramming a project phase from FY2017 to FY2016 may be approved with an Administrative Modification Change in Funding Source Amendment* An Amendment is required when the source for Federal-Aid for a project is changed Example: Changing the funding source for a project from the Surface Transportation Program (STBG) to the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) would require a TIP Amendment Scope & Termini Changes Amendment* Project Scope: An Amendment is required when the project scope and description within the TIP do not match the activities identified during project design. Termini: An Amendment is required to change project termini identified in the TIP or to eliminate inconsistences with the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Example: Changing a terminus of a project from “1st Street” to “3rd Street” would require a TIP Amendment * Emergency TIP Amendments have the same requirements as a TIP Amendment in addition to the public notice and meeting guidelines detailed in Section 2.7.3
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-21
2.6.3 Emergency TIP Amendments Occasionally, situations may arise when an emergency amendment to the TIP is necessary. These are processed on an expedited basis due to circumstance which cannot wait for the next TTAC or MAPA Board meeting. For example, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Stimulus”) required several changes to cost estimates in the TIP to be made in an expedited manner in order to meet deadlines and remain eligible for federal funding. Such amendments are only allowed by MAPA in cooperation with the States of Nebraska and Iowa, FHWA/FTA, and the local jurisdictions involved with the project(s). Emergency amendments are not used as a means of circumventing review by TTAC or the public, but are only utilized in response to truly extraordinary circumstances in which expedited processing of an amendment of a non-controversial matter is necessary.
If all parties involved with a project agree that an emergency amendment is necessary, then the amendment and documentation will be prepared by MAPA staff. TTAC voting members will be notified of the proposed emergency amendment and a meeting will be scheduled. In accordance with the Open Meetings Laws of both Iowa and Nebraska, MAPA will provide 24 hours of advance notice of any emergency meeting in public places and on the MAPA website. Following the emergency TTAC meeting, the MAPA Board of Directors will consider any emergency amendments. Emergency amendments may be considered at a regularly scheduled Board or TTAC meeting, specially-convened meetings, or by voice vote via telephone or a videoconference. If teleconferencing or videoconferencing technology is to be used to conduct a voice vote, locations at which the public can hear and participate in the emergency meeting will be noted in the meeting notice. Teleconferencing or videoconferencing will only be used when a meeting of the full Board or TTAC is impractical, and at least one Board or TTAC member will be present at the location where the public is gathering the participate in the meeting. In all cases, the emergency circumstances necessitating the meeting and the use of teleconferencing or videoconferencing technology will be noted in the meeting agenda and minutes.
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 2-22
Fiscal Constraint 3.1 Introduction MAPA’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) includes a financial plan that provides reasonable estimates for costs, revenues, and strategies for the projects and programs identified in the TIP. This section of the FY 2019-2024 TIP assesses the project costs by funding program and compares them to the anticipated revenues in each funding program. The MAPA TIP must be fiscally-constrained, meaning that project costs must not exceed reasonably anticipated funding revenues.
The fiscal constraint analysis in this TIP is dependent upon figures provided by the USDOT, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), and the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). For Federal-Aid projects in the MAPA region, local jurisdictions are identified and the specific matching funds required for the Federal-Aid program are allocated by project.
This TIP also identifies the “operations and maintenance” expenditures by jurisdiction as required by the FAST Act, the current authorizing legislation for the Federal-Aid Highways Program (FAHP). Operations and maintenance expenditures are the total of the day to day cost to keep the system functioning. Example operations and maintenance projects include resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation projects (3R projects) and other incidental capital and operations costs necessary to deliver an efficient and effective transportation system. 3.1.1 Year of Expenditure Calculations To give the public a clear picture of what can be expected (in terms of project cost) as well as to properly allocate future resources, projects beyond the first year of this TIP are adjusted for inflation. When project costs have been inflated to a level that corresponds to the expected year of project delivery this means that the project has been programmed with year of expenditure (YOE) dollars. YOE programming is required by federal law and the MPO is responsible for programming costs in the YOE. MAPA anticipates a 3 percent annual rate of inflation over the period of this TIP (2019-2024). This estimate is based upon the Consumer Price Index, published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This 3 percent rate is added to each project’s costs annually and can be seen in the fiscal constraint tables for each fiscal year for both FTA and FHWA’s funding programs. During the period of 2016-2018, the CPI grew nationally by 1.0 percent annually. MAPA is using discretion in estimating a more aggressive rate of inflation to create a more conservative estimate of project costs. 3.1.2 Revenue Estimation Revenue estimates for STBG-MAPA funding are also included in this document. MAPA relies upon estimates from Iowa DOT and NDOT for annual apportionments of federal funding. These estimates are based upon formulas in the FAST Act and are further subject to the obligation limitation. The obligation limitation is a percentage of the overall federal apportionment that can be spent in a given year. For the previous 5 years, the obligation limitation has been between 92% and 98% of the total apportionment level. This means that of the total funding apportioned to a state in a given year the state may only spend a between 92% and 98% of that total balance in its various programs. This obligation limitation is a safeguard that is utilized to ensure that funding exists for all states and programs in a given year.

3.2 Fiscal Constraint and Federal Funding Tables Table 3.1 below lists the total federal funding amounts programmed in the FY2019-2024 MAPA TIP for each federal funding program by year and demonstrates fiscal constraint across all of MAPA’s federal programs. The tables list the expected revenues (annual obligation) and expenditures (programmed funds) for FY2019-2022, the four fiscally constrained years of the MAPA TIP. Funding targets are provided annually by Iowa DOT and NDOT for programming purposes. Spending Authority includes the beginning balance.

The tables on the following pages (Tables 3.3 through 3.6) show the fiscal constraint for the Nebraska and Iowa STBG programs, and the Nebraska and Iowa TAP programs. The bolded funding amounts in the TIP are MAPA’s OA flexibility projects which can also be seen in Table 3.7. The additional $1.2 million programming amount comes from a yearly 3% increase from NDOT and enables MAPA to program projects in the event that funding becomes available in order to utilize MAPA’s apportionment balance and account for project slippage. The available funding depends on further acts of Congress.

3.3 Apportionment and Obligation Flexibility MAPA’s annual obligation authority from the State of Nebraska had been approximately $12.5 million per fiscal year in recent years. Due to project schedules and funding shifts, MAPA spent less than had been allocated to the region over the last several fiscal years resulting in an obligation surplus of around $30 million. As a result, in 2014 MAPA entered into an agreement with NDOT which provided MAPA with flexibility to program projects within the fiscally constrained portion of the TIP in order to spend these extra funds. With this Obligation Authority flexibility, NDOT will make obligation authority available to MAPA in years in which MAPA programs more than its annual obligation authority limit.
Additionally, this agreement made available over $30 million dollars of MAPA’s apportionment balance, and this balance was distributed across several regionally significant projects. This information is shown in Table 3.9 below.

The Advance Construction (AC) conversion program gives the flexibility and opportunity to locally fund projects and later convert the funding for federal funds. Projects are ranked through the STBG selection process, but are elected to be funded locally. This process is shown in Table 3.10 and is available for all members of MAPA.

3.4 Operations and Maintenance MAP-21 directs MPOs to consider operation and maintenance (O & M) of the system as part of fiscal constraint, in addition to capital projects. O & M costs represent what is required to operate and maintain existing transportation facilities, shown in Table 3.11 (next page). To support this assessment, MPOs are charged with providing credible cost estimates in the TIP. The figures below were developed in consultation with state and local governments. Federal-aid and non-federal-aid estimates were derived by dividing the total operations and maintenance costs based on the mileage on the federal-aid system, as is the practice by Iowa DOT. For the basis of this TIP, MAPA estimates an inflation rate of 3 percent per year for
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 3-9 operations and maintenance costs. Estimated revenues assume a more conservative growth rate of 2 percent per year.

3.5 Federal Transit Administration Programs Federal-aid transit projects in the MAPA region are funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of the USDOT. The anticipated FTA funding allocations are displayed in Table 3.10. Federal
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 3-10
funding for transit projects under Sections 5339 - Bus and Bus Facilities and 5307 - Urbanized Area Formula - are directed to Metro Transit to support their operations, while MAPA receives 5310 – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities – funding. Federally funded transit improvement projects must be contained in the regional Transportation Improvement Program and fiscally constrained programs are included in the subsections below.

Table 3.12 shows the anticipated operating funding for Metro Transit through 2024. Table 3.13 on page 3-13 provides detailed project information about regionally significant transit investments in the MAPA region. These projects constitute the Transportation Improvement Program for Metro Transit’s Federal Transit Administration projects.

MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 3-13 Environmental Justice
4.1 Environmental Justice Populations In 1997, the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) issued its Order to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (US DOT Order). The US DOT Order addresses the requirements of Executive Order 12898 and sets forth US DOT's policy to promote the principles of environmental justice in all programs, policies and activities under its jurisdiction. Since the DOT Order was issued, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have been working with their state and local transportation partners to make sure that the principles of environmental justice are integrated into every aspect of their mission. 4.1.1 Identification of Environmental Justice Areas The three fundamental environmental justice principles include: 1. Avoiding, minimizing or mitigating disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority and low-income populations. 2. Ensuring the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process. 3. Preventing the denial of, reduction of or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations.
To identify environmentally sensitive populations, MAPA conducted an analysis of census data at the tract level (2010 US Census and 2012-2015 American Community Survey). The analysis reviewed MAPA TMA populations to evaluate whether areas of disproportionate minority and low-income populations exist. The percentage of the population within each census tracts identified as low-income or minority was compared to the TMA average, using a normal range of one standard deviation above and below the average; 68 percent of all measurements fall within one standard deviation of the average in a normally distributed dataset. The remaining 32 percent is above and below this regional average. The MAPA TMA Percent Minority and Percent Poverty data sets are positively skewed and not normally distributed. To account for this, the data square root value was used to transform the dataset into a normal distribution. Those census tracts with a score greater than one standard deviation above the average (square root value) have a concentrated minority or low income population.
Figure 4.1 illustrates the locations of the aforementioned areas within the TMA. The map indicates census tracts with a ratio of minority and/or low-income populations significantly higher than the TMA average. The concentrations of minority or low-income populations were defined by the above mentioned methodology. These census tracts were determined to be environmentally sensitive areas of concern for evaluation purposes.

4.2 Funding Equity and Project Burden/Benefit The environmentally sensitive areas were examined in relationship to the 2018 MAPA Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) fiscally constrained and federally funded roadway/ trail projects (FY2019 - 2022) for potential externalities that may affect these areas adversely. Furthermore, the locations of roadway projects were analyzed for equitable distribution of funding relative to the needs of the region. The analysis compared the environmentally sensitive areas to the programmed projects. The Environmental Justice areas were mapped with TIP projects to better show the location of each project relative to the areas with potential environmental justice concerns. The map overlay can be seen in Figure 4.2. For additional project information see Figure 4.3 (discussed below).
Figure 4.2 – TIP Projects in EJ Areas (TO BE INCLUDED IN FINAL TIP)
4.2.1 Methodology The MAPA 2019 TIP projects were mapped in a Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatially analyzed for proximity and location within the environmental justice areas. Based on the transportation projects spatial relationship to Environmental Justice areas, the project funding was distributed in a variety of ways. The various spatial relationships and funding distributions are outlined below:
Completely within EJ Area Projects located completely within EJ areas had 100 percentof the project funding allocated to the EJ areas.
Completely outside EJ Area Projects located completely outside EJ areas had zero percent of the project funding allocated to the EJ areas.
Partially within EJ Area Projects partially located within EJ areas had the project funding distributed proportionally. For example, if a one mile long road project had half of its length within EJ areas, 50 percent of the project funding was allocated to the EJ areas.
Adjacency to EJ Area Many times major roadways are the census tract boundaries that were used in defining EJ areas (see Appendix D: Demographic Profile of the MAPA TMA for complete methodology of
MAPA FY2019-2024 Transportation Improvement Program 4-2
determining EJ areas). If a transportation project was located on an EJ boundary it is considered adjacent. The project funding was distributed proportionally based on its adjacency. For example, if a one mile long road project had half its length adjacent to an EJ area, 50 percent of the project funding was allocated to the EJ areas.
Abutting an EJ Area When a project begins or ends abutting an EJ area the project falls within this category. These projects had 10percentof the project funds allocated to the EJ areas.
Non-Spatial Projects Many projects do not have a single spatial location or a location specific impact. For example, a traffic control center impacts the complete jurisdiction with technology and system management. Furthermore, a traffic signal project may occur at various locations throughout a jurisdiction and these locations cannot be explicitly determined. These types of projects have the funding distributed based on geographic area proportions of the lead agency jurisdiction boundaries and EJ areas within that jurisdiction. That is to say that if a non-spatial project from a lead agency that has ten square miles of total incorporated area and EJ areas of two square miles, 20 percent of the project funds will be allocated to the EJ areas based on this proportion. 4.3 Findings To assess the level to which environmental justice populations will be impacted by the projects listed in the FY 2019 MAPA TIP, MAPA staff reviewed the total project listing, distribution of equity, and assumed benefits and burdens based upon the methodology in this chapter. Using the methodology described in Section 6.2.1 MAPA makes the below observations. 4.3.1 Distribution of Equity Through analysis of the projects listed in the MAPA 2017 TIP and the project overlay map (Figure 4.2), it is apparent that in terms of geographical distribution, most location-specific projects fall outside of any Environmental Justice area. Considering the region’s anticipated future growth, most of the region’s capital roadway projects are located in the suburban and developing areas where new development will require new capacity. The Environmental Justice areas are located in fully developed urban areas, and MAPA forecasts little need to increase roadway capacities in these regions. Many traffic counts in the Environmental Justice areas have been declining or remaining stable in recent years. However, several major projects are within or have a spatial relationship to EJ areas.

Figure 4.5 on the following page displays the listing of Metro Transit projects for the duration of the FY2019 – 2022 MAPA TIP. For projects that do not have a specific locality, MAPA determined an EJ distribution by dividing the environmental justice population of Metro’s service area by the total population of the service area. This percentage is 18.35 percent.

4.4 Conclusions Based on the analysis presented above, environmentally sensitive populations are not being adversely affected by the MAPA federally funded roadway and trail projects. No projects are anticipated to have significantly negative impacts on the Environmental Justice populations. Furthermore, Figure 4.6 summarizes the distribution of funds and based on the proportion of the population being served in the Environmental Justice areas (21 percent), these populations are receiving approximately 81 percent of the total federal funds in the fiscally constrained 2019 MAPA TIP. This is over double the Environmental Justice population proportion of federal roadway and trail funds distributed.

Projects in this section include those selected through MAPA’s project selection process, in addition to programs for which the two state departments of transportation (NDOT and Iowa DOT) make decisions. Regionally significant state- and locally-funded projects are included in this section as well. Table 5.1 lists the corresponding numbered projects that match the map in Figure 5.1 on page 5- 2.

Public Involvement 6.1 Public Participation Methodology The FY2019–2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was developed through collaboration between MAPA transportation staff, Metro Transit staff, City/County government, NDOT and Iowa DOT, and members of various committees and subcommittees including the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC), the Project Selection Subcommittee (ProSeCom), Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C), and the Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC). Furthermore, Resource Agencies/Interested Parties and the MAPA Board of Directors were consulted in plan development.
As shown in Figure 6.1, the draft project list was released for public review and comment for 30 days on. Announcements of the availability for comment of the draft TIP were made through the MAPA website (www.mapacog.org), Facebook, Twitter, a paid public notice, a press release, the MAPA’s What’s Happening newsletter and several email lists targeting groups that have previously expressed interest or serve historically disadvantaged populations. Staff also gave presentations to stakeholder boards including the CAC and CTC. MAPA also sent memos and flyers to area libraries and local jurisdictions discussing the availability of the draft plan for public comment and posted the plan in the lobby of the shared MAPA and Metro building on MAPA’s bulletin board,
Following the Board approval of the final draft plan on, the last round of outreach took place. Comments were accepted on the final draft plan until. Announcements of the availability of the final draft TIP were made through all of the same means as the preliminary draft. However, Paper copies of the final draft plan were distributed to libraries and flyers were sent to local jurisdictions. Once the plan was approved and certified by NDOT and Iowa DOT, the final TIP document was distributed to the libraries.

The opinions, findings and conclusions expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent USDOT, NDOT, and Iowa DOT. MAPA is an EOE/DBE employer.
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) documents the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency’s (MAPA’s) transportation related activities and projects for fiscal year (FY) 2019 which encompasses July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. MAPA serves as a voluntary association of local governments in the greater Omaha region chartered in 1967. MAPA performs planning and development work, especially to address problems that are regional in scope and cross jurisdictional boundaries.
MAPA is the Council of Governments (COG) for Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington Counties in Nebraska and Pottawattamie and Mills Counties in Iowa. MAPA serves as the federally required Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Transportation Management Area (TMA) for a smaller region that encompasses Douglas and Sarpy Counties and a small portion along US Highway 75 in Cass County in Nebraska, as well as the southwestern portion of Pottawattamie County (i.e., the area generally south of Crescent and Underwood and west of L-52) in Iowa. In addition, MAPA provides staff support for the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) for Harrison, Mills, Pottawattamie, and Shelby Counties known as RPA- 18. Planning activities for RPA-18 are contained in a separate RPA-18 Transportation Planning Work Program (TPWP). The map below outlines the MAPA COG region and highlights the TMA boundary.
The governing body for MAPA is a 64-member Council of Officials representing cities, counties, school districts, resource agencies, and numerous other governmental bodies within the region. The MAPA Board of Directors is a nine-member Board serving as the Council of Officials’ executive committee and is comprised of elected officials representing cities and counties from the larger five-county MAPA region. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC) reviews and makes recommendations related to transportation to the MAPA Board. The relationship, responsibility, and composition of the Board of Directors, Council of Officials, and TTAC are also described in the MAPA Interlocal Agreement and Committee Bylaws. Membership is listed in Appendix II.

Several large planning initiatives have been recently completed or are underway in the MAPA region. Heartland 2050 was adopted by the MAPA Council of Officials as the long-term vision for the greater Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area in January 2015. The Regional Vision was developed over 2013 and 2014 and entered implementation phase in 2015. The project produced a Vision Scenario for future growth and development that is now being utilized for MAPA’s transportation planning process. This collaborative project is an example of Regional Models of Cooperation, one of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Planning Emphasis Areas (PEA).
During FY-2018 MAPA continued work on its next Long Range Transportation Plan update, LRTP 2050. The LRTP is being closely coordinated with the Metro Area Travel Improvement Study (MTIS), a joint Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) / MAPA multi-year regional study of highway needs that will result in a list of prioritized projects for state investment and guide future regional transportation investments. This comprehensive study has developed a strong set of data for MTIS and other planning projects, and MAPA’s travel demand model has been updated significantly as part of ongoing collaboration with US-DOT. MTIS will also serve to develop long-range performance targets that will be support the requirements of MAP-21 and the FAST- ACT, the current transportation authorization bill. Throughout FY2018 MAPA closely coordinated with State DOTs and FHWA on implementing federal performance management guidelines– most notably in terms of Transit Asset Management and Safety Performance Measures. The performance-based approach is a new component of the federal transportation planning process and is another federal PEA that will be very important during FY2019.
The LRTP 2050 will also incorporate other recent plans that were conducted in the metro are. These include the Heartland Connections Regional Transit Vision (RTV) and Regional Bicycle-Pedestrian Plan. The RTV proposed a staged approach to improve transit service in the region. These concepts were applied as part of the Sarpy County Transit study in FY2018 in addition to Metro Transit’s Transit Development Plan– a key initiative in both FY2018 and FY2019. These scenarios are being utilized for further analysis in the MTIS study. The Bicycle- Pedestrian Plan proposes short, medium, and long-range projects to enhance the regional network of trails, bicycle boulevards, and other bicycle / pedestrian facilities.
Metro Transit is continuing work on the Bus Raid Transit (BRT) line that was awarded a US-DOT discretionary TIGER grant that will run along the Dodge Street corridor from downtown Omaha to Westroads Mall at approximately 102nd Street. This premium transit service would serve as the spine of the transit network in the region. The project will help some of the densest concentrations of employment and housing in Omaha and exemplify the Ladders of Opportunity PEA. Final Design was initiated in FY2017 and will be construction will commence in 2018.
In FY2019 MAPA will continue to emphasize freight planning as part of the Regional Transportation Planning Process. The Nebraska Department of Transportation completed its State Freight Plan in 2017 and MAPA will continue partner with NDOT on the plan’s implementation and continued outreach. In 2018 MAPA identified a specific need for additional truck count data and is coordinating with NDOT to increase the frequency with which truck counts are conducted and also target them in areas where gaps current exists in MAPA’s data. MAPA’s ongoing improvements to the travel demand model will allow additional technical analysis of freight transportation in the metro area. In addition, MAPA will continue to work with the private sector, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and other stakeholders to ensure that freight and goods movement are fully involved in the planning and project development process.
Some of the City of Omaha major transportation projects include bridge needs, a massive signal infrastructure upgrade, and several capacity improvements in the western part of Omaha, including multiple projects near West Dodge Road (US-6) along 168th Street, 180th Street, 192nd Street. Omaha is also finalizing plans for a modern streetcar project to run between North Downtown and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Douglas County is continuing work on a large project on 180th Street between West Dodge Road and West Maple Road.

During FY-2018, communities in Sarpy County created a new intergovernmental authority to manage the growth of the sanitary sewer system in the county and to rehabilitate sewers in existing communities as well. This infrastructure will be crucial in guiding future development in Sarpy County and will be a critical factor in future transportation decisions. MAPA awarded a H2050 mini-grant to Sarpy County to explore the future needs on the arterial and collector road system based on these proposed growth trends. The Highway 75 project will be under construction that will connect Bellevue and Plattsmouth with a grade-separated freeway. MAPA successfully coordinated resources between the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Sarpy County, Cass County, Bellevue, Plattsmouth, and the Papio-Missouri River NRD (PMRNRD) to ensure that this new corridor did not preclude bicycle and pedestrian access. Girders for the trail connection on this segment were installed during FY2018 and MAPA continued to coordinate with make progress towards the construction of the connecting trail.
The Council Bluffs Interstate (CBIS) Project, a complete reconstruction of the interstate and railroad realignment, is scheduled to continue for at least the next eight years. Council Bluffs recently completed a plan for the West Broadway corridor that includes redevelopment and land use, as well as reconstruction of West Broadway. A significant mixed-use project is currently under construction at Playland Park on the east end of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Transportation in this area continues to be a key focus as community leaders and the philanthropic community are reimagining the riverfront and seeking to balance its redevelopment potential and access to open space.
Work has continued on the development of a Coordinated Call Center and information sharing for the region. Metro Transit, the Veterans Administration (VA), and MAPA are working together to coordinate the development and implementation of the Coordinated Call Center including the purchase of hardware, software, and system engineering. Presently, Metro Transit’s MOBY Paratransit service is coordinated along with the State of Nebraska’s Medicare & Medicaid Transportation services. It’s anticipated that more organizations will be brought into this framework in the future.
MAPA is working on Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) projects including up to 20 electric vehicle charging stations and the implementation of 30 to 40 bike share stations in the City of Omaha. Both projects began in FY 2015 and will continue with many phases between FY 2017 and 2020.
MAPA will administer and update the region’s FY 2018-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP includes state and local federal-aid projects and regionally significant projects programmed in the region for the next six years. In addition to roadway projects, the TIP covers anticipated expenditures for some alternative transportation projects such as the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), transit, and aviation. In FY2018 MAPA created an online TIP database and mapping platform that provides up-to-date programming information to project partners and helps track the status of projects in both Iowa and Nebraska.
MAPA’s Coordinated Transit Committee (CTC) works on issues related to public transit, paratransit, and human services transportation. A FTA Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative (VTCLI) grant to develop a Coordinated Call Center for human services made progress through the first two summits during FY 2015. The project was continued in FY2018 with the goal of developing a coordinated network to connect trips within the region. Large purchases of equipment for this project were purchased in FY2018, and coordination continues with the integration of the technology into Metro Transit’s buses. This core network of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology will provide real-time data toe other agencies and serve as the foundation of coordinated services between human service organizations and transit agencies in the region. This effort, in addition to the transit activities listed previously, addresses the Ladders of Opportunity PEA by improving gaps in the transportation system and mobility for residents. MAPA’s robust public participation processes are other examples of steps toward the Ladders of Opportunity PEA.
iii
MAPA’s Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is developed in accordance with the metropolitan planning provisions described in the 23 CFR - Part 450 and 49 CFR - Part 613. The UPWP is created in cooperation with state and federal agencies who are financial sponsors, and it is intended as a management tool for participating agencies.
MAPA held a planning retreat with the MAPA Board in late 2016 that provided a framework for the long-term goals for the agency. During the development of the UPWP, a priority setting process was used to evaluate existing programs and projects against these goals. Additional outreach was conducted to the Council of Officials, Board of Directors, and TTAC to understand our members’ needs for the upcoming year. Results of the priority setting process are reflected by the projects and associated funding levels shown in the UPWP.
In accord with the spirit of federal transportation legislation, MAPA conducts a continuing, coordinated, and comprehensive planning process for the region. This process is intended to meet the transportation needs of the region’s residents to the extent possible with available resources.
The transportation planning process for the region takes into account all modes of transportation: roadway, highway, transit, air, rail, and water, as well as active modes of transportation such as walking and bicycling. The provision of transportation services must also be consistent and compatible with the overall goals and development of the region. Major considerations include the environment, energy conservation, growth patterns, land use, tourism, and recreation, as well as a wise and efficient use of economic resources.
MAPA’s responsibilities include the LRTP, TIP, and UPWP. As a TMA with a population greater than 200,000, MAPA is charged with conducting a Congestion Management Process (CMP). Other planning products include the Coordinated Public Transit and Human Services Plan and Public Participation Plan (PPP). MAPA is compliant with civil rights legislation and maintains a Title VI Plan and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.
The UPWP will also contain activities to assist in implementing provisions contained in surface transportation legislation. The following planning factors identified in the current federal legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, will, at a minimum, be considered in the transportation planning process for the region: 1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency. 2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized users. 3. Increase the security of transportation for motorized and nonmotorized users. 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight. 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life. 6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system across and between modes for people and freight. 7. Promote efficient system management and operation. 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. 9. Improve resiliency & reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate storm water impacts. 10. Enhance travel and tourism
iv
In addition, the transportation planning program is formulated to support the goals and objectives specific to the region as identified in the 2040 LRTP, namely: 1. Maximize access and mobility. 2. Increase safety and security. 3. Consider the environment and urban form. 4. Keep costs reasonable and sustainable.
The UPWP budget includes additional matching funds beyond the 20% requirement from sub-recipients used to match FHWA PL funds for MAPA activities. These locally-funded planning activities contribute to the regional transportation planning process and are eligible to count toward the required local match for PL funding. In order to provide this match, sub-recipients of PL funds contribute a 30% match. The 10% of additional match beyond the 20% requirement provides match toward PL funds for MAPA activities. Sub-recipients for the FY2019 Work Program are summarized in the table below.

On May 27, 2016, the final rule for statewide and metropolitan transportation planning was published, based on 2012’s Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act and 2015’s Fixing America’s Transportation System (FAST) Act. As part of this final rule, 23 CFR 450.314 (h) was amended to state: (h)(1) The MPO(s), State(s), and the providers of public transportation shall jointly agree upon and develop specific written provisions for cooperatively developing and sharing information related to transportation performance data, the selection of performance targets, the reporting of performance targets, the reporting of performance to be used in tracking progress toward attainment of critical outcomes for the region of the MPO (see §450.306(d)), and the collection of data for the State asset management plan for the NHS for each of the following circumstances: (i) When one MPO serves an urbanized area; (ii) When more than one MPO serves an urbanized area; and (iii) When an urbanized area that has been designated as a TMA overlaps into an adjacent MPA serving an urbanized area that is not a TMA. (2) These provisions shall be documented either: (i) As part of the metropolitan planning agreements required under paragraphs (a), (e), and (g) of this section; or (ii) Documented in some other means outside of the metropolitan planning agreements as determined cooperatively by the MPO(s), State(s), and providers of public transportation. In 2017, the following three-pronged approach was cooperatively developed to address 23 CFR 450.314 (h) for MPOs in Iowa. This approach provides a regular opportunity to review and update coordination methods as performance management activities occur, which offers an adaptable framework as performance-based planning and programming evolves. Agreement between the Iowa DOT and MPOs on applicable provisions through documentation included in each MPO’s TPWP. Agreement between the Iowa DOT and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in each public transit agency’s consolidated funding application. Agreement between each MPO and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in the appropriate cooperative agreement(s) between the MPO and relevant public transit agencies. Performance measures require coordination with the MPOs to set performance targets, collect performance measure data and report performance measure data to FHWA and/or FTA. These requirements are included in
