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.

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

Funding Code: TIF

Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake County, 5400 South to 4100 South — Major construction has begun between 5400 S. to 4100 S. This segment of construction will build 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. The 4100 South and 5600 West intersection will also be reconstructed.

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.

RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM (Former Major Rehabilitation Program)

FUNDING

The Reconstruction Program funds projects that reconstruct badly deteriorated pavement.

Programmed Funding 2020 $50 million 2021 $50 million 2022 $50 million

Beginning in 2019, UDOT will deploy the Reconstruction Program to supplement the High Volume and Low Volume Preservation and Rehabilitation Programs.

The Regions have prioritized the first 7 years of projects for this new program.

Federal Year: October 1

Region Program Managers Austin Baysinger 801 965-4846 abaysinger@utah.gov

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.

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.

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.

Lyle McMillan 801 633-6243 lmcmillan@utah.gov

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.

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.

MIDA State Infrastructure Loan Update: In December 2017, the Commission approved a loan for $10 million to MIDA, with a 2.25% interest rate and a 15-year term. In SB-110, the 2018 Legislature appropriated another $4 million. The only difference is the loan amount per the legislative appropriation, and the corresponding amortization. The other loan terms remain unchanged. Ivan Hartle, UDOT Programming Director, requested approval to enter into the loan agreement for the updated amount of $14 million. Commissioner Law moved to approve the request and Commissioner McConkie seconded the motion. The request was unanimously approved.

Virgin Town supplied the required 10% match to fund the US-50 chip seal.

The Federal Funds Exchange Program allows local governments to exchange federal transportation funds for state funds.

The program provides funding flexibility for local governments. UDOT coordinates with the Joint Highway Committee and/or the Metropolitan Planning Organization to determine appropriate projects for the exchange.

US-50

Funds Exchange projects are approved by the Utah Transportation commission.

Once approved, local governments and UDOT enter into a cooperative agreement that details the required project documentation, performance reporting and invoice submission. A UDOT project manager oversees the activities detailed in the agreement.

Approved exchanges are transacted in the year federal-aid funds are available.

Funds are used on other federal-eligible projects.

Eligible funding categories include STP Non-urban (Rural), STP Small Urban, and STP Urban. The exchange is $.85 state funds for each dollar of federal funds.

Local governments are required to match 10 percent of total project costs. If a flexible match is offered, the details will be included in the agreement with value not to exceed UDOT average prices.
