The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a prioritized listing of highway, bridge, intermodal and transit projects expected to be undertaken by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts during the next five years. It is a compilation of the projects programmed in the thirteen regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs). All projects in the STIP come from, or are consistent with Regional Transportation Plans that conform to emissions budgets established by federal and state environmental agencies. This STIP is divided into four major sections. Part I contains all narratives, certifications, and descriptions necessary for submission to appropriate federal and state reviewing agencies. Part n lists all projects programmed in the regional TIPs, as well as those projects funded on a statewide basis, such as the Interstate Maintenance Program. Part m summarizes all highway and transit financial information. Part IV is an appendix of all supplementary .d0Cuments, lists, or other items used in the development of the STIP. This STIP can be downloaded from the Commonwealth's web site www.mhd.state.mauslmhdlplanninglstip.htm. REGULATORY CONTEXT Federal The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) revolutionized surface transportation planning in the United States. For the first time new principles were established to maximize mobility for people and goods, create partnerships with state and·local officials, enhance the flexibility of funds and expand and utilize new technologies. The emphasis was on "intermodal" in an attempt to improve connectivity and coordination between and among different types of transportation modes. ISTEA established sixteen core planning principles including, among others, the preservation of existing facilities, .relieving congestion, consistency in planning among reviewing agencies, effects on land use development, and the use oflife cycle costs. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21" Century (TEA-21), the successor act to ISTEA, consolidated the sixteen factors oflSTEA into seven broad areas to be considered in both the regional and statewide­ transportation planning process. These include preserving the environment; promoting efficiency; preserving the existing system; enhancing connectivity; increasing accessibility; supporting economic vitality; and increasing safety and security. This legislation was set to expire on September 30,2003, but has been extended while the next multi-year authorization act is fmalized. The STIP's federal funding estimates are based upon guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. State In January 2003, the Romney Administration unveiled three core transportation and land use policy initiatives for the Commonwealth to be implemented in regional transportation planning: Fix It First - . a policy that gives priority to the repair of existing bridges, roads and related infrastructure. October 2004 Part I Pagd 0/15 State Transportation Improvement Program Federal Fiscal Years 2005 - 2009 Communities First - a policy that requires the state to work with communities on "context­ sensitive" solutions when reconstructing a local street, road or bridge. Sustainable Development - a policy that emphasizes concentrating development, conserving natural resources, promoting equitable benefits and burdens of development, increasing transportation choices, and increasing job opportunities. In addition to the recently-adopted policies cited above, the Massachusetts Highway Department, in cooperation with the regional office of the Federal Highway Administration and the Commonwealth's regional planning agencies developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the spring of 2000. This MOU represented Massachusetts' commitment to define, develop, and monitor a balanced statewide program to include a sufficient number of advertised projects, exclusive of Central Arteryffbird Harbor Tunnel expenditures, resulting in a minimum expenditure of $400 million for construction activities and related projects through fISCal year 2005 This commitment was recently increased by the legislature and the Administration to $450 million and extended through 2012. Moreover, in late 2003, the Commonwealth held a series of meetings with interested parties throughout the state to seek their input in developing criteria for use in prioritizing transportation projects for the FFY 2005 TIPs. The objective was to develop transparent evaluation criteria for the purpose of assessing projects in a consistent manner, and with providing decision-:makerS with the tools to de~ine the mix of projects that will best satisfy transportation needs within the constraint of financial resources. To that end a set of transportation criteria was developed and adopted by the Commonwealth's Metropolitan Planning Organizations. The evaluation process was employed in the development of the 2005 Transportation Improvement Program in each region. The evaluation process considers three project types whether highway or transit: preservation, improvement, expansion. Each project is evaluated with regard to condition, mobility (or usage) and safety. Additionally, each project is assessed as to its beneficial or detrimental effects on community character and public support, land use and economic development and the environment. These latter three considerations are the fabric of Govemor Romney's policies of Fix-It-First and Sustainable Development. - Examples of specific..criteria"that wDuld be considered for various types of projects are: • Roads: pavement condition, average daily traffic, percentage of trucks, crash rates, public support; • Bridges:-condition of structural bridge elements, load capacity, affect on travel time through closure or restriction, business effects; • Transit: remaining useful life of asset, ridership, revenue miles, sustainable development,; • Bicycle/pedestrian facilities: affect on bicycle compatibility, pedestrian safety, cost per user, consistent with regional plans; • • Park and ride facilities: projected number of users, safety/security considerations, cost per parking space, air quality. - - October 2004 Part I Page 40/15 Slate Traruportation Improllement Program Federal Fiscal Years 2005 • 2009 FUNDING CATEGORIES The projects programmed in the STIP are funded within certain federal-aid categories. Federal Highway Administration Bridge (BR) Federal-aid bridge funding is used to rehabilitate or replace bridges based upon the structlire's adequacy, safety, serviceability, age and public usage. Bridge funding is sub-allocated for projects that are on the federal-aid system (a road classified as a collector or higher) (BR-On) and those that are npt (BR:-Ofl). Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) CMAQ funds are used for projects that reduce vehicle emissions. Federal Aid (FA) This category includes projects which will be funded with federal monies but the specific federal category has not yet been identified. Federal Lands Highway (FLH) This is a discretionary program that provides transportation engineering services for roads and bridges on, or that provide access to federally owned lands. Ferry Boat Discretionary (FBD) These funds are available for the construction or refurbishment of ferry boats and terminals and their approaches that are part of the National Highway System. Congress specifically earmarks funding under this program. Interstate Maintenance (IM) This category provides federal funds to rehabilitate, restore. and resurface the Interstate Highway System, including the reconstruction of bridges, inte~hanges and overpasses along existing Interstate routes. Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) This category provides funds for projects that provide access to or are located on Indian reservation lands. National Co"idor Program (NCP) The goal of this category is to improve

The years of experiment were successfully passed. A total of ten thousand dollars was raised, one half of that sum by public subscription, and the remainder from state funds. Col. Abram Washburn donated a lot of land one and one-quarter acres and George B. Emerson of Boston provided the furnace for heating the building. It was a small, wooden, two-story structure containing a large schoolroom, and two recitation rooms in the upper story, and a Model School room, a chemical room, and two anterooms on the lower floor.” —Special Collections.
