Region Program Managers and William Lawrence 801 964-4468 billlawrence@utah.gov

ACCOMPLISHMENTS The TIF has funded many projects that are important to current and future mobility needs, including the Mountain View Corridor, a planned freeway in western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County.

MVC will have phased implementation to address shortterm regional needs, and will eventually be a 35-mile freeway from I-80 in Salt Lake to Lehi Main Street.

MVC, Salt Lake County:,5400 South to 4100 South — Major construction has begun between 5400 S. to 4100 S. This segment of construction will be building the outside lanes of Mountain View Corridor from 5400 South to 4100 South in the initial construction phase, connecting to the already open section of Mountain View Corridor. In addition, the intersection of 4100 South and 5600 West will be reconstructed as part of this segment of construction.

The TIF fund was created in the 2005 Special Session by House Bill 108 and contains revenue from legislative appropriations, sales tax and vehicle registration fees. In 2005 8.3 percent of sales tax revenue and half of autorelated sales tax was added and in 2011, 30 percent of sales tax growth was added. Future maintenance projects on TIFF facilities can be funded by TIFF funds. Once projects funded by the Centennial Highway Fund and Critical Highway Needs Fund are complete, the remaining balance transfers to the TIF.

Other recent projects: Santaquin Main Street, Phase 2 SR-145, Pioneer Crossing Extension SR 26, Riverdale Road over the Rail Road,I-15, Payson to Spanish Fork

ACCOMPLISHMENTS UDOT is moving toward world-class traffic signal management with the following results: Over 50% of UDOT’s traffic signals are configured with radar detection that picks up cyclists waiting at the red light.

Real time management of traffic signal operations deployed at over 90% of UDOT’s intersections.

Downtown Salt Lake City

Recent initiatives: Traffic Signal Event Management - UDOT has reduced delay during events by working with local venues and deploying signal timing plans to handle changes in travel demand.

Reflectorized Traffic Signal Backplates - Transparent yellow tape is now placed around traffic signal backplates to help increase signal transparency.

Increased Proactive Maintenance - Potential problems are addressed before road users experience inconvenience.

Real-Time Traffic Signal Operations Management - Volumes, speeds, and other metrics are collected in real-time. UDOT was one of the first to use these new tools and has been instrumental in helping dozens of agencies nationally and world wide and throughout the world to use this technology. The Federal Highway Administration has added the program to their Every Day Counts Initiative to help others follow UDOT’s path.

Generator Plugs on Signals - UDOT is equipping all of its traffic signals with generator plugs so power can be restored quickly and easily during power outages.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Connected numerous signals in Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Duchesne counties to the central control system

The Traffic Management Program uses state and federal funding to improve UDOT’s ability to collect and disseminate traffic information focused on optimizing mobility.

The program provides for expansion of UDOT’s fiber optic communication network, software, and devices, like cameras, overhead signs and traffic sensors, that allow UDOT to: • Continually manage the traffic signal network to help traffic flow more smoothly • Provide road users with information about traffic incidents, weather, construction delay, and travel times • Monitor traffic and quickly respond to mitigate the effects of crashes and disruptions.

• Help maintenance crews anticipate weather and clear snow efficiently • Manage Express Lanes to keep all lanes operating at optimal levels • Support Utah Highway Patrol efforts to clear incidents quickly • Adjust freeway ramp meters to smooth out traffic flow

Measured the freeway performance to identify causes of delay Extended fiber optic fiber capacity along I-15 in northern Utah County Extended high-speed fiber to three UDOT maintenance sheds in Utah County to provide better system access Collaborated with a Utah company to extend fiber along US-6 from I-15 to I-70 and connect to UDOT devices.

Road Weather Information Stations (RWIS) around the state gather real-time weather data on wind, precipitation, temperature, and road temperature. Meteorologists then predict impacts on travel, provide information to help maintenance crews take precautions against road ice and plan plowing operations, and provide travel information to the public. In 2015, Traffic Management expanded the network of RWIS around the state.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS In 2016, time consuming project preparation was accomplished.

Construction will occur in 2017 and 2018. Projects include: VMS Replacement - $1,100,000 - Up to 10 VMS in Region Two will be replaced Hub Switch and Backbone Upgrade - $1,100,000 - Switches in 19 of the communication hubs will be upgraded, and the backbone between these hubs will be upgraded from 1GB to 10GB Junction Box Replacement - $600,000 VSL Replacement/Upgrade - $200,000 Replace 15 VSL on I-80 with new amber sign, adding flashers for when VSL is active.

UDOT is upgrading VSL signs on I-80 with new amber signs – UDOT ATMS has experienced tremendous growth since the Traffic Operations Center opened in 1999.

The system now includes over 2000 devices, not including supporting electronics.

Without a plan to replace these devices, the system would become increasingly unreliable and costly to maintain.

At end-of-life, ATMS devices are typically unreliable or broken. Systematic device replacement is a holistic approach that conserves funding and supports the functionality of the entire transportation system.

Program activities include: • Replacing unreliable or non-functioning ATMS devices past end of life • Replacing ATMS devices that will reach end-of-life in current and future fiscal years before normal traffic flow is interrupted • Upgrading supporting equipment and electronics such as communication hub switches, power transformers and the communications backbone • Replacing broken communication junction boxes

Reconstruction projects restore roadway service life

The Reconstruction Program will focus on replace pavement sections that have reached their design life. Even when preservation strategies are properly applied, pavement can eventually lose structural integrity due to traffic or environmental factors, and reconstruction is required to restore service life.

Reconstruction involves rebuilding the pavement layers from the ground up to replace the equivalent or increased pavement thickness. Occasionally the soil under the pavement will need to be strengthened.

UDOT Central Asset Management division analyzes UDOT’s roadway network condition each year and determines the percentage of funding allocated to the pavement programs. Regions identify pavement preservation projects during annual STIP workshop, and then present the program amount and project list to the Utah Transportation Commission for approval in the spring.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS This program will continue to fund the bridge inspection program. Upon approval of the FY 2021 program, all state owned bridges currently classified as structurally deficient will be programmed for rehabilitation or replacement.

In 2016: The Veyo Arch and Dirty Devil Arch were rehabilitated Ten bridge rehabilitation projects on I-80 in east Salt Lake County were designed and awarded Thirty nine bridges across the state received preservation treatments

Work on the Veyo Arch Bridge included replacing connection plates and parapets, and preserving the deck and superstructure.

This program funds the systematic replacement, rehabilitation or preservation of existing bridges to address deficiencies due to aging and deterioration.

The load rating and inspection programs, which are also funded through this program, ensure that bridges are in adequate condition to accommodate anticipated traffic needs.

Bridges are ranked based on deficiencies observed during biannual bridge inspections. Projects are ranked based on bridge condition, load rating, AADT, significance, and delay factors. Region requests, Region projects and local government requests are also considered when selecting projects.

This program funds the replacement, rehabilitation,preservation and maintenance of all state owned bridges as well as local bridges on the federal aid system.

The federally-funded Highway Safety Improvement Program supports infrastructure and non-infrastructure efforts that have the potential to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries with a correctable fatal or serious injury crash history or a proven safety countermeasure that can be implemented systematically.

Projects may be on any public roadway at a location with a correctable fatal or serious injury crash history or a proven safety countermeasure that can be implemented systematically, show a positive estimated benefit to cost ratio, and conform to the State Strategic Highway Safety Plan. UDOT collaborates with FHWA to select and oversee projects.

Infrastructure projects typically include: • Installing features (barrier, rumble strips, warning signs, and pavement markings) that prevent or mitigate run-off-road crashes • Removing or protecting roadside obstructions • Upgrading traffic signals to protected left turn phasing or flashing yellow arrows to remove conflict points • Widening intersections to add turn lanes Non-infrastructure projects include: • Program management • Crash database development • Crash prediction models and other studies that identify future infrastructure project locations and/or mitigations

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Every life lost due to traffic deaths continues to affect us all.

UDOT is working hard to reach Zero Fatalities. Educating drivers to avoid dangerous driving behaviors and implementing measures to improve safety can help bring us closer to our goal of Zero Fatalities.

While overall traffic fatalities are down 25 percent since 2000, The overall number of fatalities has increased in the last three years

Detailed and concise freight planning supports the local economy by minimizing the cost of moving goods – a cost that can be reflected in the price consumers pay for food, clothing, fuel, and other necessities. Freight planning also allows UDOT to focus limited resources on projects that support economic activity.

Current efforts include: Completion and acceptance of Utah’s first freight plan — Planning staff worked with Utah’s Freight Mobility Group and other stakeholders to complete the Utah Freight Plan. This 20-year plan is a resource of information that feeds directly into UDOT’s Long Range Transportation Plan, and Utah’s Unified Plan.

Completion and acceptance of the Utah State Rail Plan – The first comprehensive assessment of Utah’s rail operations and needs since 1996.

Focused on freight, this plan enables UDOT to implement an integrated approach that will incorporate freight and passenger rail elements into the larger multi-modal and intermodal framework, and feeds into the Utah Freight Plan.

Conduct ongoing public outreach — Planning staff maintain a partnership with the Utah Trucking Association and freight stakeholders by updating industry partners and encouraging feedback.

Freight economics planning — Planning staff develop and continually evaluate performance measures and report results in the annual UDOT Strategic Direction. A formal stakeholder outreach and communication plan keeps UDOT Planning in sync with industry and state economic development partners. In 2016, UDOT staff are working on a draft Freight Mobility and Trade Plan.

Metropolitan Planning Organizations are the federally mandated and funded transportation planning entity for urban areas with a population over 50 thousand.

MPOs act as a partner in coordination with cities, counties, transit and state transportation agencies to develop and recommend improvements to highways and transit.

Utah’s MPOs each develop a 30-year Regional Transportation Program, called the Long-Range Plan and a Transportation Improvement Program. The LRP is produced every four years and lists capacity-driven projects addressing longterm mobility needs.

THE PLANNING PROCESS Transportation planning is a cooperative process designed to foster involvement by all users of the system through a proactive public participation process. Utah’s MPOs include: Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization - MPO for Cache Valley urban area Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization - MPO for the St. George urban area Mountainland Association of Governments - MPO for the Provo and Orem urban area Wasatch Front Regional Council - MPO for the Salt Lake City and Ogden urban areas

Strategic, data-based planning helps identify and prioritize projects that address delay.

The TIP is produced annually and includes capacity projects from the LRP and short-term projects (such as pavement or operational improvements) from federal, state, and local governments and transit agencies.

UDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program – the STIP – includes projects from the LRP and TIP.

UTAH STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANK FUNDING

State year: July 1 Programmed funding 2014 Capitalized total: $23.5 million 2016 Uncommitted Balance Available: zero

The Utah State Infrastructure Bank provides loans and credit enhancement to local government or private sponsors of transportation or transit projects.

The loans hep state agencies leverage federal and non-federal transportation funds, assist local areas to develop facilities, and promote public-private partnerships. Loans can offer advantages over only grant-based funding by allowing project delivery to be accelerated by and helping local governments complete a financial plan.

CONTACT

The fixed-rate, low-interest loans are tied to the State of Utah bonding rate and term length. Repayment must be completed no more than ten years from the time the loan is executed. No one entity may borrow more than twenty five percent of the fund.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The Utah Transportation Commission has the authority to approve all qualified requests and loan terms. SIB loans can augment other project funding.

William Lawrence 801 964-4468 billlawrence@Utah.gov

St. George City, Logan City and Washington City have recently completed loans. Fountain Green City West Jordan City and Cedar City currently have outstanding loans and projects are underway. Vineyard City has recently been approved for a loan.

The fund is a revolving account that does not deplete. Prior to 2012, the fund was capitalized at $4 million, including interest. House Bill 377, which passed in the 2012 legislative session, added $20 million to the account.

Project example: Cedar City obtained a SIB loan to augment other funding to improve the South Cedar Interchange.

SIB funds helped Cedar City complete a much needed project on I-15: 1-3, new ramps,a DDI, realignment and new profile of Cross Hollow Road; 4-5, the old flyover was saved for a pedestrian and livestock crosswalk and surplus property was utilized, and 6, the interchange area was landscaped.

EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND FUNDING

Federal year: October 1 Programmed funding Funding varies. Up to $100 million is available to a state for each natural disaster or catastrophic failure.

The federal Emergency Relief Program is a special program from the Highway Trust Fund for the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid highways and roads on Federal lands which have suffered serious damage as a result of natural disasters or catastrophic failures from an external cause, and not an inherent flaw in the facility.

William Lawrence 801 964-4468 billlawrence@utah.gov

ER funding helped UDOT repair damage to SR-14 caused by a landslide.

Approved ER funds are available at the pro-rata share that would normally apply to the Federal-aid facility damaged. For Interstate highways, the Federal share is 90 percent. For all other highways, the Federal share is 80 percent.

Emergency repair work to restore essential travel, minimize the extent of damage, or protect the remaining facilities, accomplished in the first 180 days after the disaster occurs, may be reimbursed at 100 percent federal share.

It is the responsibility of the State to request ER funds based on detailed damage inspection reports (DDIR) prepared by the Department of Transportation. An emergency declaration by the Governor allows the state DOT to file a notice of intent with the FHWA office to initiate the ER application process.
