Introduction A Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) 4- year financial implementation program listing of transportation improvement projects eligible for Federal funding. It is DMATS transportation investment program, consisting of capital and operating improvements to the Metropolitan Transportation System. The TIP is multi-modal. It includes investments in various modes such as transit, highway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The TIP is the means of implementing the goals and objectives identified in the DMATS Long-Range Transportation Plan. The FFY2009 - 2012 TIP for the DMATS Metropolitan Area is a four year listing of federal aid eligible transportation projects selected for implementation by the various governmental agencies comprising DMATS, in consultation with, and by approval of the DMATS Policy Board in cooperation with Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation. The TIP is prepared annually by the DMATS Policy Board and Technical Advisory Committee. DMATS technical work is supported by staff members from the East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA). Prioritization of projects within a project year is done by the implementing agencies with the approval of the Policy Board. Prioritization of Long Range Transportation Plan projects on a year to year basis is done cooperatively between DMATS and the implementing agencies. This document contains projects identified for improvement or construction from the DMATS 2031 Long-Range Transportation Plan. Project Selection Criteria The projects included in the TIP were selected using the following criteria: 1) The appropriateness of the particular project in relation to the present DMATS goals as follows: a) Goal: To develop an efficient, integrated, balanced transportation system. This can be summarized as serving and anticipating travel needs made evident by regional land use patterns. This includes multi-modal development and use, facilitated by coordination of organizational effort to improve goods shipment by air, rail, river, and truck. b) Goal: To develop surface transportation facilities. This encompasses the development of a safe, efficient street and highway network; and maintaining access to viable air and rail transportation systems. Transit, bicycles, and pedestrians are encouraged.

c) Goal: To work toward the provision of transportation-related facilities that will complement and enhance the current and future transportation network. This includes development of parking facilities, and ancillary facilities. Also included is the provision of amenities for inter-modal usage, such as ride share lots and bus shelters, to reduce congestion and promote a safe, environmentally sound system. 2) The appropriateness of the particular project in relation to the best available cost and revenue estimates for the next three fiscal years. 3) The input of State, County and City officials, the local transit operators, the private sector, and others as represented through DMATS. 4) Consistency of the transportation projects in the TIP with the air quality standards outlined in the State Implementation Plan and with local land use planning and economic development. Relationship of the TIP to Area Planning and Programming As the primary transportation investment management tool of the DMATS urban planning and programming process, the TIP must reflect the established goals and objectives of the DMATS Long Range Transportation Plan. Applying the criteria described above establishes a link between cost/benefit analysis and planning. Projects are included as the process identifies their feasibility with respect to comparative importance and funding potential. This reinforces the establishment of priorities, as it allows assessment of funding source availability through the out-years of the TIP. All of the projects contained within the TIP are selected from federal aid eligible projects already contained in the DMATS 2031 Long-Range Transportation Plan or have been sponsored and funded by a state DOT. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFTEA-LU) President Bush signed the SAFTEA-LU bill, which provides funding for highways and transit programs. SAFTEA-LU builds on the initiatives established in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st century (TEA -21), which was the last major bill authorizing legislation for surface transportation. This act combines the continuation and improvement of TEA-21 programs with additional new initiatives to meet the challenges of improving safety as traffic continues to increase at record levels, protecting and enhancing communities and the natural environment. SAFETEA-LU consolidates the previous sixteen planning factors to be considered in the planning process into eight broad areas: •
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 options available to people and freight;
•
Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life;
•
Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight;
•
Promote efficient system management and operation; and
• Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. Failure to consider any one of the areas is not reviewable in court.

FFY 2008 Programmed Transit Projects Status Report Intermodal Center Feasibility Study Architecture and Engineering This project provides 80% federal funding for a feasibility study and design for an intermodal facility for the Port of Dubuque. The facility will be an intermodal facility that would integrate a concrete parking structure with 750 parking stalls and a bus terminal housed integrally within the structure at ground level. The study will include 1) analysis of parking and transit to determine the location and composition of the facility, 2) establish an overall parking and transit plan for the Port of Dubuque and, 3) develop operating revenue projections. This project also provides 80% federal funding for engineering and design fees for an intermodal facility. Total project cost including construction is estimated at $11,000,000 and engineering and design costs are estimated to be 10% of the overall project cost. The project has been reprogrammed to FFY 2009. Downtown Transportation Intermodal Center This project provides up to 80% federal funding for construction of an intermodal facility for the Port of Dubuque. The facility will be an intermodal facility that would integrate a concrete parking structure with 750 parking stalls and a bus terminal housed integrally within the structure at ground level. As required by the Federal Transit Administration, a feasibility study will be conducted that will include 1) analysis of parking and transit to determine the location and composition of the facility, 2) establish an overall parking and transit plan for the Port of Dubuque and, 3) develop operating revenue projections. Total project cost including construction is estimated at $11,000,000 and engineering and design costs are estimated to be 10% of the overall project cost. The project has been reprogrammed to FFY 2009. Four 30’ Heavy Duty Buses This project provides for 83% federal funding for replacement of remanufactured fixed route buses 2558, 2559, 2560 and 2561 with accessible fixed route buses.

OPERATIONS & MAINTNANACE (O&M) The result of major oversight nationally has lead to the requirement to include operations and maintenance/management costs of all federal-aid system routes and transit facilities in the STIPs, TIPs, and LRTPs. The Iowa FHWA asked MPOs and RPAs in Iowa to report O&M costs as system-wide totals for operations and maintenance (highways) and operations and maintenance (transit facilities).* This would encompass all the federal aid system routes, transit facilities, and the local systems for your jurisdictions. A majority of the local O&M revenue data should be available from the road use tax finance reports that cities and counties submit to the Iowa DOT.

FINANCE The SAFTEA-LU bill requires the DMATS Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) be fiscally constrained. One of the most challenging requirements of the long range planning and programming process is inclusion of financial planning. The financial element of the long-range transportation plan (LRTP) and the TIP ensure that the identified projects are prioritized according to reasonably expected financial resources. Through the visioning process, however DMATS has also included illustrative projects in the LRTP and the TIP. Illustrative projects are those for which the funding source is uncertain. Local officials are working to secure funds for these projects. Such projects are properly indicated in the program. For purposes of describing how a project is funded over the years, the IA 32/Southwest Arterial’s programmed and obligated funds history is shown in the table below.

Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program These funds are distributed to the states based on population and population densities of urbanized areas. These federal funds come to DMATS through the Iowa DOT. DMATS then allocates the funds based upon a competitive process. The competitive process is held at the beginning of each transportation bill and awarded for its period based upon anticipated funding levels. The DMATS staff distributes a letter of solicitation to all DMATS member governments. Applications are then mailed to the entities. DMATS staff performs the initial scoring based on criteria, which is then reviewed by the DMATS Technical Advisory Committee (Appendix D). The Technical Advisory Committee then makes their recommendations to the DMATS Policy Board. The Policy Board then holds a public hearing in which comments from the public are

heard concerning the applications. After the public hearing, the Policy Board then awards funds to the projects they deem to be most worthy. DMATS programs these funds for the two-year period of the TIP based upon funding targets from the Iowa DOT and projected funding levels. TE Target

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMS Section 5303. Metropolitan Planning These funds are distributed to the states based on population and population densities of urbanized areas. DMATS programs these funds according to the sub-allocation notifications distributed each January by the Illinois DOT and February by the Iowa DOT. ECIA provides the local match for these funds through its membership dues. Section 5307. Urbanized Area Formula Grants Section 5307 is a formula grant program for urbanized areas providing capital, operating, and planning assistance for mass transportation. These funds are distributed to the states based on population and population densities of urbanized areas. KeyLine Transit matches these funds through local funds and statewide transit assistance (STA). Section 5309. Capital Investment Grants and Loans These funds are available to Iowa based on Congressional earmarks. They may be used for only transit capital improvements on an 80% federal – 20% non-federal basis. (83% federal for ADA accessible vehicles and 90% for special equipment to meet clean air regulations) Public Transit Equipment and Facilities Management System (PTMS) is one of the seven management systems that were mandated under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The PTMS committee was formed by Iowa DOT in conjunction with the Iowa Public Transit Association (IPTA), who had expressed interest in developing a “more objective” method of selecting projects to be funded out of statewide earmarked funds. The PTMS Committee developed and recommended the current PTMS prioritization process and associated policies, which were, in turn, endorsed by the transit association and adopted by the Iowa DOT. In order to be considered under PTMS, capital projects must be programmed for Section 5309 funding in the current year of the approved STIP. KeyLine Transit provides the matching funds for these projects through local resources. All projects listed in the TIP have matching funds allocated in the City of Dubuque annual Capital Improvement Program unless otherwise noted.

Project Funding, Budgeting & Programming [ ] Budget includes required local match of at least 20 percent, available within the project’s time frame. [ ] Applicant with multiple projects has not applied for more than 100 % of the available funds in the current funding cycle. [ ] Funding request is not less than $50,000 or more than $250,000. [ ] Applicant has ability to move project forward to completion in timely manner. [ ] Project cost estimates are reasonable and of sufficient detail to ensure successful implementation. [ ] Funding request does not include request for funds to support preliminary engineering and design work. [ ] Jurisdictions with multiple projects within their communities have identified priorities (may be adjusted after the application deadline depending upon whether applications are submitted by sponsors other than the affected local government). Project Characteristics [ ] The proposed project goes beyond activities customarily incorporated into motor vehicle roadway, highway and transit projects. [ ] Project has a direct relationship to surface transportation in terms of function, proximity or impact. [ ] Project would be available for public use for 25 years or the expected life of the project. [ ] Project detail is sufficient to allow for evaluation based on DMATS review criteria. [ ] If an historic preservation project, is the project listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places? If so, has project received recommendation of state historic preservation officer? (If the project is funded solely through the category of historic preservation then a letter of eligibility determination must be received from the state historic preservation officer certifying that the project is listed or eligible to be listed before any monies may be reimbursed).
(If a project does not meet all of the above criteria, the application will not be scored and ranked. It will be forwarded to the Enhancements Committee, but may not be considered for funding.) Section II Ranking Criteria Ranking criteria has been established for three categories of projects: Bicycle/Pedestrian; Historic Preservation/Archaeological; and Transportation Aesthetics/Scenic Values. The maximum score a project can attain is 100 points. These ratings and the resulting project rankings are intended to provide information to the DMATS Policy Committee to aid in their decision-making process. The policy committee is not bound by these ratings in forming project funding approvals. Category I Category II Category III Category IV
