ATMS Asset Management FUNDING

UDOT’s new complete lifecycle approach to ATMS asset management will increase system reliability and reduce overall maintenance costs through orderly disposition of devices at end-of-life.

Programmed funding 2017 proposed: $3.9 million 2018 proposed: $3.9 million 2019 proposed: $3.9 million

The Automated Traffic Management System (ATMS) unites traffic monitoring stations, road weather information stations, traffic cameras, and other system components, with a power and communications backbone that allows UDOT to manage traffic in real time. A high-functioning ATMS system is central to optimizing mobility, and elements of ATMS significantly reduce fatalities and injuries.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ATMS Growth

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.

Statewide research shows Utah drivers consider VMS information to be their top resource for information on expected expected travel times, upcoming construction, lane closures, crashes blocking their route or information ahead of a large weather event.

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

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Fiscal Year 2015 funds were used for replacing the Clarion Road Local Government Structure in Centerville, and continued funding for replacing six structurally deficient structures on the South Davis Corridor project. This program will continue to fund the bridge inspection program. Upon approval of the FY 2020 program, all state owned bridges currently classified as structurally deficient will be programmed for rehabilitation or replacement.

The South Davis Improvement Project replaced aging bridges at 2600 South, 1500 South, 500 South, and 400 North in Bountiful.

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 and preservation of all state owned bridges as well as local bridges on the federal aid system.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS The U.S. 89 Improvements in Orem and Pleasant Grove widened State Street to seven lanes, repaved with new asphalt, and upgraded with curb, gutter and new sidewalks in various locations. The project improved traffic flow and reduced congestion in the area with only minor traffic delays during construction.

US-89 was widened to seven lanes in Pleasant Grove and Orem.

Choke points, which occur in rural and urban areas across the state, impinge on economic productivity by delaying delivery of goods and services and slowing commute times. Traffic congestion can also contribute to a less-safe driving environment as drivers break or change lanes suddenly to jockey for position. Sometimes, choke points contribute to poor air quality through stop-and-go driving patterns which result in higher emissions. Projects are scored, ranked and presented to the Utah Transportation Commission for approval of funding within a given STIP year. Scores are based on, average annual daily traffic, constructibility, region priority, level of service and safety.

The Federal Lands Access Program, established by Federal Map 21 legislation, provides funding for transportation project that are in, provide access to, or are adjacent to Federal Lands. The program is intended to support economic activity generated by tourism and recreation sites. The program is funded through Highway Account of the Highway Trust fund. Programming decisions are made locally by a Program Decisions Committee. Funds are distributed to states according to a formula based on the number of visitors, federal land area, federal public road mileage, and the number of federal public bridges. A non-federal funding match is required. Program funds can be applied to design, construction, and reconstruction, but not maintenance projects. State, tribal, or local government agencies that own or maintain transportation facilities are eligible to apply.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Six projects have been selected, planned, and programmed through 2017. Sponsors include Bryce Canyon City, Wasatch County, Kane County, UDOT, Sevier County and Juab County. For more information, see the Utah Access Program page on the FWHA website.

The SR-149, Jensen to Dinosaur National Monument Project is funded at $11.4 million. UDOT’s participation rate is 6.77 percent. The project will widen SR-149 from milepost 0 to MP 4.22 to include 12 foot travel lanes and 4 foot shoulders, and will replace a bridge at milepost 2.7. FHWA Central Federal Lands Division is performing all design efforts, and UDOT will provide design review, construction input, and final acceptance. The project will be constructed in 2015.

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 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.

The federally-funded Highway Safety Improvement Program supports infrastructure and non-infrastructure efforts that have the potential to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Projects may be on any public roadway at a location, 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: • Education efforts, such as the Zero Fatalities campaign, that address unsafe driving behaviors • Program management • Crash database development • Crash prediction models and other studies that identify future infrastructure project locations

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Every life lost due to traffic deaths continues to affect us all. 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 since 2000, that number has increased in the last three years.

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.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS UDOT Region Two replaced signs in th Salt Lake City area in 2014-15.

Federal National Highway Performance Program and Highway Safety Improvement Program funding will help UDOT improve signs and culverts. SIGNS: Freeway signs provide direction and clarity for road users. Federal funding will help UDOT replace overhead signs in on critical travel and corridors in Salt Lake County.

CULVERTS: Effective drainage systems rely on functioning culverts to preserve safety and to keep pavement healthy. Malfunctioning culverts can cause hazardous conditions to develop suddenly, and can cause pavement or the road base to erode over time. Federal funding will allow UDOT to focus on improving badly distorted or corroded culverts.

Region Two had many pipe lining projects in 2014. Region Four has used this funding to improve culverts. Region One will have many culvert projects in the construction phase in Davis, Weber and Box Elder Counties during 2016.

Signs and culverts are important roadway assets that support safety and mobility. UDOT has been collecting roadway asset information in order to identify the signs and culverts that need to be replaced. Projects will be integrated with other road work. UDOT Regions will help prioritize project selection. In 2012, UDOT completed a four-year project to collect baseline culvert data on over 30 thousand cross-cut culverts that direct water off of pavement. Most UDOT culverts are in good condition but some are in need of rehabilitation or replacement. The statewide culvert condition data is accessible online via a central database at UDOT’s Map Center.

Snow College Richfield Bike Path (Richfield City Project Sponsor)

The Transportation Alternatives Program supports projects that enhance safety and expand options for non-drivers, mitigate environmental impacts and convert former interstate facilities to new uses. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) changed the way funds are distributed and programmed. Funds are split in half between Utah Metropolitan Planning Agencies and UDOT. To qualify for funding all projects must fit into one of nine federally designated categories. Examples include: • Construction, planning and design of facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act • Safe routes for non drivers to access daily needs. • Conversion and use of abandoned railroad corridors for trails. • Any Environmental mitigation activity • Reduced vehicle-caused wildlife mortality • Safe Routes to School projects FOR MORE INFORMATION: visit the UDOT TAP web page.

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.

CONTACT

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.

Federal Funds Exchange CONTACT

William Lawrence 801 964-4468 billlawrence@Utah.gov Recent Funds Exchanges:

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.

Funds exchanges are made frequently and the project purpose and fund amount vary. Examples include: North Salt Lake exchanged $2 million of funds from the I-15 South Davis County Operational Upgrades project to fund improvements on the 2600 South intersection improvement project. The Town of Virgin exchanged $2 million of 2014 STP_Rural Federal funds for $1.25 million of Region Four’s 2014 State Preservation funds, and $0.45 million of Region Four State Preservation Efficiency funds. Virgin Town supplied the required 10% match to fund the US-50; Scipio to County Line, MP 129.816 to MP 149.13 Lane Level/Chip Seal Coat project.

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.

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 help 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.
