Introduction

The Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was officially established in 2003. The Federal Highway Act of 1962 requires the formation of a MPO for any urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000. MPOs were created in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures for transportation projects and programs are based on a continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative (3-C) planning process. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs are channeled through this planning process. The MPO serves as a platform for coordination and communication between the public and local, state, and federal agencies in regard to planning issues and transportation topics, plans, programs, and projects. The MPO develops both long- and short-range multimodal transportation plans, selects and approves projects for federal funding based upon regional priorities, and develops methods to improve problematic and unsafe corridors.

The Bowling Green-Warren County MPO is made up of a Policy Committee (PC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). The Policy Committee acts as the decision-making body of the MPO, while the TAC and BPAC make planning and programming recommendations that are ultimately acted upon by the PC. Transportation Improvement Program Development Important components of the transportation planning process are the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The MTP is the long-range transportation plan that addresses the future needs and travel demand of the MPO for a forecasted future (20+ years) period. It lists the goals, visions, and projected transportation projects for Warren County. The TIP is a fiscally constrained, short-range program providing a compilation of all federally funded and regionally significant transportation projects, including both highway, transit, and bicycle-pedestrian elements (23 CFR § 450.326) over a six-year period.

The TIP provides an overview of how transportation revenues will be invested over a six-year period by state and local agencies that have legal responsibility to build, operate, and maintain the community’s highway, street, and public transit systems. TIP projects are derived from the MTP and reflect the investment priorities established in the MTP. Federal law requires TIP expenditures be consistent with the MTP. Projects included in this document represent the desires of Bowling Green and Warren County for developing highway, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit projects through Fiscal Years 2019-2024. The MPO TAC guides the development of the TIP, with additional collaboration from local and state governments. Upon adoption by the MPO Policy Committee, the TIP will be sent to the office of the Governor of Kentucky for approval, then included in the KTYC Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

Inclusion of transportation projects in the TIP is a prerequisite for federal funding. A project must be included in the document in order to receive federal funding in the current year. Highway projects are customarily divided into the phases of planning, design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction. These phases typically occur over a period of years and are scheduled in the TIP in accordance with the project’s actual progress and the availability of funding.

Public Participation The TIP is prepared in accordance with the Participation Plan of the MPO. It requires that the MPO develop and utilize a participation process that provides reasonable opportunities for interested parties to comment on the MTP, TIP, and other planning documents and activities within the MPO (refer to the Participation Plan for more information).

The agency and public participation procedures for the TIP are consistent with current federal transportation planning requirements. The Bowling Green-Warren County MPO’s public participation procedures for the TIP and subsequent amendments and administrative modifications to the TIP are outlined in the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO Participation Plan, updated in 2018. As directed in the Participation Plan, a press release identifying the 30-day public review and comment of the draft TIP was issued to area media outlets and was posted on the MPO’s website on August 7, 2019. Additionally, letters/emails were sent to all required agencies identified in the Appendix of the Participation Plan and an article was written in the MPO’s online quarterly newsletter soliciting comments and feedback. Comments received from the public and local agencies are summarized in Appendix B of this document. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ensures that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, national origin, or physical handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program receiving Federal assistance from the United States Department of Transportation. Title 49 CRF Part 21 outlines how agencies must ensure nondiscrimination in their programs and in their use of federal funds provided through the Department of Transportation.

Subsequent federal acts that extend nondiscrimination requirements include gender (Federal Aid Highway Act 1973); disability (Rehabilitation Act of 1973 & Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990); and age (Age Discrimination Act of 1975).

Title VI analysis conducted as part of the transportation planning process was considered in the MTP and, as a subset of the MTP, the 2019-2024 TIP. This analysis may be found in the MTP on the MPO website at www.bgareampo.org. TIP Amendments & Modifications As projects and programs develop and are ready for allocation of funds, amendments and modifications to the TIP are often necessary to allow the program of funds to dynamically reflect changing conditions, costs, and project schedules. TIP Amendments are major changes to the TIP, while modifications may be implemented by MPO staff. Specifications for TIP amendments and modifications are outlined in the Participation Plan, while an overview is provided as follows:

TIP Amendments Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment and a re-demonstration of fiscal constraint. Amendments to the TIP are required when: . Adding or deleting a project or project phase that requires a federal action and is not eligible for an Administrative Modification (refer to next section). . A major change is required in the design concept or scope for a project. Page | 5

. A project cost or schedule change is made that affects financial constraint.

TIP Administrative Modifications Less significant changes to project details and the addition of certain types of projects (see Grouped Projects section) may be accomplished by Administrative Modification. Modifications include minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. Public review is not required for administrative changes to the TIP. Administrative Modifications will be included as agenda items for the TAC and PC meetings. The public may offer comments as part of the PC and TAC meeting’s public comment time on the agenda. All TIP administrative modifications will be posted on the MPO website and distributed to agencies/stakeholders identified on the KYTC Routing & Information Sheet.

All TIP amendments and modifications are posted on the MPO’s website at www.bgareampo.org. Air Quality Conformity The planning area for the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO is in attainment with all federal air quality regulations. An attainment area is considered to have air quality that meets or exceeds the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health standards set forth in the Clean Air Act.

Fiscal Constraint The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST) identifies federal funding sources for road, highway, transit, and other transportation related improvements. The key aspect of the FAST Act is its flexibility of funds, empowerment of local jurisdictions in assigning project priorities, public participation to a greater extent in planning and decision making, and fiscal constraint.

Federal law requires that TIPs be financially constrained. That is, this document should include the estimated cost associated with each project and the anticipated revenue source. Additionally, only those projects for which a current or proposed revenue source can be identified may be listed, thus ensuring a balance between total project costs and revenues. This requirement helps the MPO and the KYTC develop a deliverable program of projects.

Although the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO has significant input in the identification of needs and the determination of project funding priorities, it should be understood that the MPO does not have direct control over any source of funding identified herein. Final decisions regarding the allocation of funds (project selection, revenue source, schedule, etc.) are made by the KYTC and the State Legislature. Projects scheduled in the current biennium (Fiscal Years 2018-2019) of the Kentucky State Highway Plan have an associated commitment of the funding identified in the Plan by KYTC and the State Legislature. Funding identified in this document for the years 2020 and beyond represent “reasonably expected” funding to carry out those projects based on their inclusion in the Plan.

Page | 6

The table on page 10 provides a summary of costs and revenues by funding type and year (all costs and revenues here and elsewhere in this document are shown in Year-of-Expenditure dollar values). A balance between costs and revenues is indicated; therefore, financial constraint is demonstrated.

The specific projects shown in the Project Listing tables beginning on page 13 have been identified by KYTC, along with associated programmed or planned revenue source and schedule, in the KYTC Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) and/or the Kentucky Highway Plan. To show fiscal balance and distinction of funds, the project tables (pages 15 – 33) are identified by federally funded transportation projects (Table 4). It should be expected that this program of projects will be subject to periodic changes in schedules and/or revenue sources due to the adjustments that must be made to balance costs and revenues (or maintain financial constraint) at the statewide level, and also due to various project related delays. These changes will be initiated by KYTC and will be reflected in this document by TIP Administrative Modifications or Amendments.

Project Types and Project Funds Classification In order to address the full range of transportation needs, on a statewide level and within the MPO area, the KYTC makes use of a variety of available revenue sources (or funding types). The revenue sources eligible and currently allocated for use within the Bowling Green-Warren County area are identified below:

Federal Transit Programs FTA – Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 – Capital Projects and Operating Assistance for Transit Systems Section 5310 – Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Section 5339 – Bus and Bus Facilities Program

Federal Highway Programs HSIP – Highway Safety Improvement Program NHPP/NH – National Highway Performance Program BRO – Federal Bridge Replacement on Federal System IM – Interstate Maintenance NH – Federal National Highway System RRP – Safety – Railroad Protection RRS – Safety – Railroad Separation STPG/STP – Surface Transportation Block Grant Program BRX – Federal Bridge Replacement Off Federal System BRZ – Federal Bridge Replacement Local System TAP – Surface Transportation Block Grant Set-Aside (Transportation Alternatives Projects)

State Programs SP – State Construction Funds SPB – State Bonds SPP – State Construction High Priority

Grouped Projects

Transportation planning regulations applicable to the development and content of the TIP allow that projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification in a given program year may be grouped by function, work type, and/or geographic area. Such projects are usually non-controversial and produce negligible impacts - other than positive benefits for safety, traffic operations, or system preservation. The TIP includes a list of these types of projects (called Grouped Projects) that may be allocated federal funding through a variety of federal funding programs. These projects are typically identified in an effort to improve existing problems/deficiencies, enhance preservation, or improve safety. They may also be the result of competitive grant awards.

For the reasons noted above, KYTC and FHWA have developed streamlined procedures for incorporating such projects into the TIP. Individual projects from grouped project categories will be incorporated into the TIP by Administrative Modification as they are defined (in terms of project description, scope, and cost) and approved. Allowing such TIP changes to be made by Administrative Modification, rather than Amendment, simplifies and streamlines TIP maintenance and project approval processes.

Grouped project categories utilized by the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO are shown in Table 1 on the following page. The list of grouped projects was developed cooperatively with KYTC and FHWA. By listing these project types in the TIP and MTP documents, planning process stakeholders and the general public are informed of the types of potential projects that may be added to the TIP in the future via streamlined procedures. TIP actions for these projects will not require additional public review, demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (if applicable).

When projects are identified, with estimated costs, and funding decisions (type of funds and year) are made by KYTC (on an annual or ongoing basis), the Cabinet will forward the project to the MPO for inclusion in the TIP – with a commitment of additional funding within financially constrained balances available on a statewide level. Financial constraint for grouped projects is maintained by KYTC on a statewide level and is demonstrated on an annual basis for the STIP.

**The Bowling Green MPO area is not currently eligible for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program funds. However, if Warren County becomes designated as a transportation air quality non-attainment area in the future, local entities would become qualified to submit applications for eligible CMAQ funded projects.

Transit Projects

Financial Capacity Assessment The projects recommended in this TIP outline the capital needs for Community Action of Southern Kentucky (CASOKY) to operate GObg Transit and GO, too as contracted by the City of Bowling Green. The City of Bowling Green has determined that CASOKY has the financial capacity to carry out the projects listed in Table 5 on page 34. Likewise CASOKY has reviewed their financial capacity to provide the required local match for capital projects.

Capital and Planning costs are generally eligible for 80% federal funding, while operating is federally reimbursed at 50% after the deduction of fare box revenue from total expenses. The match for capital projects costs is usually generated through state toll credits or state matching funds. Operating match is generated by funds from the City of Bowling Green, Community Action programs, In Kind donations, and rental and advertising income. The City of Bowling Green has determined there are funds available to carry out the operating budget for Bowling Green’s public transit system in accordance with FTA Circular 7008.1.

Each of the agencies requesting funding under section 5307, 5310, 5311, or 5339 have reviewed their financial capacity to carry out the requested capital projects and has determined that there will be funds available to provide the required local match for the capital projects requested.

Bowling Green Public Transit Program of Projects Public Review CASOKY operates the Bowling Green Public Transit System known as GObg transit. Annually, GObg transit is required to prepare a Program of Projects (POP) and solicit public input for all projects receiving federal transit funding from FTA. The projects identified in the POP will be added to the TIP through an annual amendment or administrative modification. The Bowling Green-Warren County MPO Participation Plan (PP) fulfills the requirements for the Federal Transit Administration public involvement process. Public notice of public involvement activities and time established for public review and comments on the TIP, as established by the PP, are being used to satisfy the City of Bowling Green’s 5307 POP requirement.

National Transportation Performance Measures and State Targets Highway Performance Measures The concept of Performance Measures was first introduced in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) in 2012 and was continued in the FAST Act in 2015. These Acts established and confirmed national performance goals in several key areas. In response to these national goals, the United States Department of Transportation has set defined performance measures applicable to the MPO’s planning area in the areas of safety, pavement condition, bridge condition, system reliability, and transit state of good repair. In addition, state highway agencies and MPOs are required to set specific performance targets for each performance measure. Those targets for highway-related measures have been set by KYTC as shown in the tables below, and the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO has taken formal action to support those targets by agreeing to plan and program projects to contribute toward achieving the targets. For transit state of good repair, specific targets were set by the MPO, as required, in coordination with the GObg transit system. These are listed in Table 10 on Page 40, with resolutions included in Appendix D.

Performance Measures: Safety The KYTC developed targets for five safety performance measures. These targets are expressed as rolling averages of the previous five years.

All of these targets represent a reduction in the baseline averages in calendar years 2017 and 2018 as compared to CY 2015 and 2016. This goal is shared with the SHSP and reiterates KYTC’s commitment to the shared vision of Toward Zero Deaths.

TABLE 6 | PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS Baseline FY 2018 Baseline FY 2019 KYTC Safety Target (2012-16) Targets (2013-17) Targets Number of Fatalities 730.2 730 737.4 737 Number of Serious Injuries 3288.6 2800 3124.8 2991 Fatality Rate/100 M VMT 1.520 1.5 1.521 1.5 Serious Injury Rate/100 M VMT 6.852 5.76 6.451 6.07 Total # Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries 269.6 293 277.8 276

Performance Measures: Asset Management The KYTC’s Asset Management performance measures track infrastructure conditions. The first set of measures tracks the percentage of highway miles in the state in good and poor condition

Page | 35

for highways on the Interstate and the National Highway Systems. The second set tracks the percentage of deck area on the state’s bridges on the National Highway System that are in good or poor condition.

TABLE 7 | PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS Asset Management Target Pavement Performance Two-Year (2020) Four-Year (2022) % Good Interstate - 50.0% % Poor Interstate - 3.0% % Good Non-Interstate NHS 35.0% 35.0% % Poor Non-Interstate NHS 6.0% 6.0% NHS Bridge Performance % Good Condition by Deck Area 35.0% 35.0% % Poor Condition by Deck Area 3.7% 3.2%

Performance Measures: System Performance The U.S. Department of Transportation developed a series of System Performance Measures to track the percentage of highway miles traveled in the state that are rated as reliable, for highways on the Interstate and National Highway Systems. A second measure tracks the reliability of travel times for freight traffic. This Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) Index indicates the likelihood of traveling through a given region in the time anticipated. A high TTTR would indicate traffic congestion that would delay on-time deliveries. Percentages in the table below represent person-miles traveled on or off interstates.

TABLE 8 | PERFORMANCE MEASURE TARGETS System Performance Target Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) Two-Year (2020) Four-Year (2022) % Reliable Interstates 93.0% 93.0% % Reliable Non-Interstate NHS - 82.5% Truck Travel Index (TTTR) 1.25 1.25

Anticipated Performance Measure Effects Sixteen (16) projects designated in the Bowling Green-Warren County MPO’s 2019-2024 TIP address these performance measures. They are enumerated in Table 9 on Page 38. There are thirteen (13) safety-related (motorized and non-motorized) projects — ones that contribute toward the goal of reducing deaths and serious injuries resulting from crashes on the nation’s roads. These projects carry an estimated combined cost of $60,788,924 over the six-year span of the TIP.

These projects are:

• KY-185 reconstruction to improve safety and mobility (3-110.00) • US-31W pedestrian underpass (3-199.99)

Page | 36

• I-65 Spur corridor: Natcher Parkway/US-231 interchange (3-2042.20) • Creekwood Greenway at Moss Middle School-Jennings Creek Elementary (3-3205) • West End Greenway from Roland Bland Park to Hobson Grove Park (3-3206) • Sidewalk Improvements/ADA Compliancy on State Roads (3-3219) • US-231 (Scottsville Rd) from Pascoe Blvd to north of Cave Mill Rd (3-8702.00) • US-31W (Nashville Rd) widening from University Blvd to Campbell Ln (3-8857.00) • US-31W Bypass widening from KY-234 to Park Ave (3-8904.10) • US-31W (Louisville Rd) from US-68 to Mizpah Rd (3-8905.00) • KY-234 (Cemetery Rd) from county line to CR-1175/CR-1155 (3-9015.00) • US-231 (Scottsville Rd) intersection and corridor improvements (3-9019.00) • US-68 (Russellville Rd) minor intersection improvements (3-9020.00)

Two (2) projects, with a combined total estimated cost of $17,050,000, address the Pavement Performance aspect of the Asset Management measure. These projects address the goal of increasing the percentage of roadway rated as being in “good” condition. One (1) project contributes to the improvement of System Reliability across the MPO area’s transportation network. These projects are:

• Address pavement condition of I-65 both directions from MP 13.711 to 25 (3-20016.00) • Address pavement condition of the Natcher Parkway both directions from MP 0 to 2.473 (3-20018.00) • Construct a new interchange on I-165 (Natcher Parkway) at Elrod Road in Bowling Green (3-8707)

Transit Performance Measures Transit Asset Management The City of Bowling Green and GObg Transit established a set of Transit Asset Management (TAM) targets. These targets outline a set of strategic and systematic processes and practices for managing performance, risk, and the cost of transit assets over their entire lifecycle to deliver service reliably, safely and cost effectively. Table 5 on page 33 exemplifies anticipated transit funding for projects contributing to the achievement of the transit targets listed below.

The first target is the percentage of revenue vehicles that have met or exceeded their Useful Life Benchmark (ULB). The second is the percentage of nonrevenue vehicles and equipment that have met or exceeded their ULB. The final target is the percentage of facilities rating below a 3.0 on the Federal Transit Administration Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) scale.
