(Figure 1). It is the northernmost of the eight counties that comprise California's San Joaquin Valley. Local governments consist of the County of San Joaquin and the cities of Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Lathrop, Ripon, and Escalon (Figure 2). The San Joaquin Valley The San Joaquin Valley consists of the counties of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Kern (Figure 3). These eight counties share an air basin that currently does not meet Federal and State air quality standards. In response, the eight valley transportation planning agencies and the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to ensure a coordinated approach to transportation and air quality planning. The MOU defines a cooperative process designed to achieve compliance with Federal air quality conformity requirements. A second MOU has been executed between the eight transportation planning agencies to ensure a coordinated, cooperative transportation planning process on issues of mutual concern. One of the planning/programming efforts addressed as part of this cooperative effort is the preparation and presentation of the federally-required Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). Figure 1: Counties within California FTIP Presentation In response to the Memorandum of Understanding between the eight Valley transportation planning agencies, a committee was formed to coordinate FTIP development, content, and format. As a result, the FTIPs being produced reflect this common format. This should provide for a quicker, more efficient review process for all San Joaquin Valley FTIPs. Page | 3 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program Federal Transportation Improvement Program Development This section includes information on the process and requirements for developing a Federal Transportation Improvement Program. Figure 2: San Joaquin County Figure 3: San Joaquin Valley Overview The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), approved in 2015, requires that each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) prepare a transportation improvement program (TIP). The TIP is a financially constrained transportation programming document developed by San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) through its member agencies and in cooperation with State and Federal agencies and the eight San Joaquin Valley counties. The basic premise behind the TIP is that it is the incremental implementation (four years) of the long-range Regional Transportation Plan (24-years). The TIP serves to present federal funding agencies manageable components of funding the long-range plan. The FTIP compiles individual projects and project lists from various sources. Any surface transportation project requiring Federal funding or a Federal action to proceed must be included in the FTIP; aviation projects are not required to be listed. In addition, MPO federal planning regulations require regionally Page | 4 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program significant non-federal projects to be listed for "informational purposes and air quality analysis ..." (CFR 450.321 (f)(5)). Major sources of FTIP projects include: • The adopted State Transportation Improvement Program and State Highway Operation and Protection Program approved by the California Transportation Commission; • The Regional Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) projects approved by the MPO; • Federal transit projects and programs listed in current, pending, or near-future grants; • Other maintenance and safety programs, including Federal bridge, seismic retrofit, and other safety projects; • Local sales tax measure and developer-funded projects on State highways; and, • As an element of the air quality conformity analysis, regionally significant, non-federally funded projects that have other funding sources either "committed" for the first year of the FTIP's quadrennial element, or "reasonably expected to be available" for second and subsequent years. The FTIP must be composed of two parts. The first part is a priority list of projects to be carried out over a four-year period. The second part is a financial plan that demonstrates how the FTIP can be implemented. The financial plan is also required to list all public and private resources and financing techniques that are expected to be used to carry out the program. The FTIP is developed with the involvement of affected public agencies and the general public. Federal Transportation Improvement Program Process and Development The San Joaquin Council of Governments prepares the 4-year FTIP and 24-year RTP plan in close cooperation with its member agencies, the San Joaquin Regional Transit District, the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, state and federal agencies, and the general public. As federal funding programs under the MPO’s control are developed, notifications are sent out to eligible agencies and the public, informing them of the appropriate manner in which projects may be submitted for consideration. The process involves the efforts of the SJCOG’s Technical Advisory Committee, SJCOG's Citizen's Advisory Committee, SJCOG’s Interagency Transit Committee, the SJCOG Board of Directors, and the general public, both through informal comments as well as a formal public hearing. Public participation is key in the development of the FTIP and the RTP. Public input into the planning and programming activities is essential in determining the transportation priorities of the citizens of San Joaquin County. The public outreach effort for the renewal of the county’s ½ cent sales tax, Measure K, was extensive and helped establish project priorities. Measure K renewal funds contribute to many of the Page | 5 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program county’s transportation projects and serve as a local match to the state and federal transportation programs. Numerous projects in the RTP and FTIP are partially funded with Measure K renewal funds. SJCOG’s Public Participation Plan formalizes strategies used to involve the citizens of San Joaquin County in transportation planning activities,
