Federal Fiscal Years 2007–2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 1, Page 1Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
Introduction
The Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) serves as the Des Moines metropolitanarea’s long-range transportation planning body. The Des Moines Area MPO includes fifteen membercities: Altoona, Ankeny, Bondurant, Carlisle, Clive, Des Moines, Grimes, Johnston, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill,
Polk City, Urbandale, Waukee, West Des Moines, and Windsor Heights; one associate, non-voting, city:
Cumming; and includes unincorporated portions of four member counties: Dallas County, MadisonCounty, Polk County, and Warren County. The Des Moines Area MPO carries out its transportationplanning responsibilities in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and theDes Moines Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA).
Des Moines Area MPO membership and voting privilege is open to local governments wholly or partiallywithin the Des Moines Area MPO’s Planning Area. Both cities and counties possessing a thresholdpopulation of 1,500 may be Des Moines Area MPO members. The Iowa DOT, the MTA, the Des MoinesInternational Airport (DMIA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) serve as non-voting, advisory representatives on the Des Moines Area MPO.
The Des Moines Area MPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is an annually updated list of federal fund eligible transportation projects in the Des Moines Area MPO’s Planning Area. It is updated
every year and traditionally covers a three-year period, however beginning in July 2006, the TIP willcover a four-year period. State Transit Assistance (STA) and State Transportation Enhancement (StateTE) funds are the only type of state funding shown in the TIP.
Projects programmed in the first federal fiscal year (FFY 2007) are referred to as the Annual Element.Projects for the entire four years (FFY 2007-2010) are listed together by FFY and funding program.Funding programs included in the Section 2, Federal Highway Administration Projects, include projectsthat are eligible to receive the following types of funding: Planning funds, Surface TransportationProgram (STP) funds, STP Transportation Enhancement (STP TE) funds, Federal Recreational Trailsfunds, Iowa’s Clean Air Attainment Program funds, Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation
Program funds, Hazard Elimination and Safety Program funds, National Highway Safety funds, InterstateMaintenance funds, and Demonstration Award funds. Transit funding programs are included in Section 3Federal Transit Administration Projects.
General Information and Guidelines for the Surface Transportation Program and SurfaceTransportation Program Transportation Enhancement Process
Passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) provided a newdirection for metropolitan planning organizations across the United States of America. Passage of theTransportation Equity Act of the 21 st Century (TEA-21) in 1997 strengthened this new direction formetropolitan planning organizations. The legislation allows metropolitan planning organizations moreflexibility in prioritizing surface transportation projects. This flexibility is especially shown through theSurface Transportation Program (STP) and STP Transportation Enhancement (STP TE) funding process.
With passage of the ISTEA legislation, the Des Moines Area MPO began developing a process of determining eligibility, analyzing, and ranking proposed transportation system improvement projects
seeking funding from the Des Moines Area MPO with the newly authorized STP and STP TE funds. TheDes Moines Area MPO has worked to develop an objective methodology for selecting projects to awardfunding, utilizing specific criteria to measure a number of performance indicators to rank projects in eachof the five STP categories. The method utilizes accepted engineering techniques for measuring projectneed and benefit. The Des Moines Area MPO also developed criteria to rank the STP TE projects, dividingsuch projects into one of three categories. By the nature of STP TE projects, this ranking process is lesstechnical and more subjective than the STP project ranking process. Each project that falls within a

specific STP and STP TE category is evaluated on a 100 point scoring system. The Des Moines Area MPOonly considers projects for funding that receive 50 points or more from the project evaluation stage.The Des Moines Area MPO’s Transportation Technical Committee (TTC), through its Engineering
Subcommittee, is responsible for all STP project evaluations. The MPO TTC Planning Subcommittee,along with Metropolitan Trails Planning Committee, is responsible for the STP TE project evaluations. TheMPO TTC Planning Subcommittee specifically is responsible for the STP TE historic preservation and the
scenic/environmental project categories. The Metropolitan Trails Planning Committee is responsible forthe STP TE pedestrian way and trail facilities project category.
Initially, the respective subcommittees, along with the Des Moines Area MPO staff, review projectapplications against the criteria and assign points to each project based on this review. After theirrespective review of applications, the MPO TTC Engineering Subcommittee, the MPO TTC PlanningSubcommittee, and the Metropolitan Trails Planning Committee, forward their project review results tothe MPO TTC for review on the project applications to go forward in the STP/STP TE project fundingevaluation process. The MPO TTC’s reviewed list of projects goes to the Des Moines Area MPO’s STPFunding Subcommittee. The STP Funding Subcommittee holds a meeting at which those projectapplicants with projects that score 50 points or more in the technical evaluation have the opportunity tomake a brief presentation to the STP Funding Subcommittee. In a subsequent meeting, the Des Moines Area MPO STP Funding Subcommittee convenes to allocate the annual amount of STP and STP TE funds
to selected projects. The STP Funding Subcommittee forwards that list of selected and recommendedprojects to receive STP and STP TE funds on to the Des Moines Area MPO Executive Committee and tothe Des Moines Area MPO. The Des Moines Area MPO ultimately approves those STP and STP TE
projects for inclusion in the Transportation Improvement Program.
The Des Moines Area MPO’s STP and STP TE funding process is outlined in the Guidelines for Surface Transportation Program and Surface Transportation Program Transportation Enhancement Funding (Guidelines), which are included in Section 1, and begin on page 13. The Guidelines, adopted by the DesMoines Area MPO and amended as necessary, detail the process for most STP and STP TE fundingrelated issues.

Surface Transportation Program
The intent of STP is to aid public road jurisdiction with funding for any road or bridge projects on thefederal aid system, which includes all federal functional class routs except local and rural minor collectors.STP is also intended to provide funding for transit capital improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facilities,and regional transportation planning activities.
A proposed project, to be eligible to apply for Des Moines Area MPO STP funding, must be includedwithin or consistent with the Des Moines Area MPO’s current adopted long-range transportation plan.Roads must be on the federal-aid system and bridges must be on the federal-aid system. The federal-aidsystem contains all roadways classified as collector or higher under the Federal Functional Classification

System. Bicycle/pedestrian facilities must be on the Des Moines Area MPO’s adopted bicycle andpedestrian facilities plan.
All projects applying to the Des Moines Area MPO for STP funding must have a sponsor. Any publicagency with public road jurisdiction, public transit responsibilities, or transportation planning
responsibilities are eligible to request funding. In the Des Moines Area MPO Area, a sponsor may be one
of the Des Moines Area MPO’s member governments, the Des Moines MTA, or the Iowa DOT.
The Des Moines Area MPO sets a maximum funding award amount of 80 percent in STP or STP TEfunding of an individual project’s total cost. The project sponsor must provide at least 20 percent of thetotal project cost through non-federal funds. All projects that receive STP funds must follow the Special Project Requirements outlined in the Iowa DOT’s Funding Guide , under the Federal Surface Transportation Program section.
Applications are due on or before 4:30 p.m. on the date specified by the Des Moines Area MPO. Applications received after this date will be considered ineligible for STP or STP TE funding. TheGuidelines allow for granting of exceptions and exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the DesMoines Area MPO Executive Director, only if the Executive Director is contacted before the establisheddeadline and provided with a reasonable explanation for the delay in submitting the project application.
The Des Moines Area MPO has four categories for STP projects:
1. Major Construction. This category has two divisions:
Major Construction- Existing Projects are for projects adding capacity for asignificant length of an existing street or highway, or adding lanes to an existingbridge.
Major Construction- New Projects are for projects creating a new facility on anew alignment, including new interchanges, or bridge replacement.
2. Minor Construction. This category is for projects providing ‘spot’ improvements, such asarterial intersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroadcrossing signal improvements.
3. Preservation. This category is for projects that maintain or preserve the existing highwayand street infrastructure, such as pavement resurfacing, pavement replacement, andbridge restoration.
4. Alternative Transportation. This category is for project improvements other than forsingle occupant vehicle (SOV) use, such as pedestrian ways and trails, publictransportation systems, multi-modal facilities, and carpool/vanpool, and other multiple-occupancy vehicle programs.

Surface Transportation Program Transportation Enhancement
The MPO follows the guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the administration of the Surface Transportation Program Transportation Enhancement (STP TE) project selection. The FHWA has prepared a document, Guidance for Transportation Enhancement Activities, 23. U.S.C. and TEA-21,
which may be publicly accessed at the web site: www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/te/guidance.htm.
The purpose of the STP TE process is to fund the projects or programs related to transportation that willenhance the environmental, scenic, or cultural quality of a site or an area. A STP TE project includes anyproject that qualifies in one of the twelve categories:
1. Provision of facilities for pedestrian and bicycles;
2. Provision of safety and educational activities for pedestrians and bicyclists;
3. Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites;
4. Scenic or historic highway programs (including provision of tourist and welcome center facilities);
5. Landscaping and other scenic beautification;
6. Historic preservation;
7. Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, or facilities (includinghistoric railroad facilities and canals);
8. Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use thereof forpedestrian or bicycle trails);
9. Control and removal of outdoor advertising;
10. Archeological planning and research;
11. Environmental mitigation to address water pollution due to highway runoff or reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity;
12. Establishment of transportation museums.
The Des Moines Area MPO groups these twelve (12) eligible activities into three categories as follows:
1. Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles; and provision of safety and educational activities for pedestrians and bicyclists; preservation of abandoned railwaycorridors (including the conversion and use thereof for pedestrian or bicycle trails).
2. Historic Preservation: Acquisition of historic sites; historic highway programs (including provisionof tourist and welcome center facilities); historic preservation; rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, or facilities (including historic railroad facilities andcanals); archeological planning and research; and establishment of transportation museums.
3. Scenic/Environmental: Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic sites; scenic highwayprograms (including provision of tourist and welcome center facilities); landscaping and otherscenic beautification; control and removal of outdoor advertising; environmental mitigation toaddress water pollution due to highway runoff or reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while
maintaining habitat connectivity.

Federal Fiscal Years 2007– 2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 1, Page 10Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
The list of qualifying activities is intended to be exclusive, not illustrative. ONLY those activities listed areeligible STP TE activities. Enhancement measures in the activities listed, which go beyond what iscustomarily provided as environmental mitigation, are considered as transportation enhancements. STP
TE projects are non-motorized transportation-related activities.
The focus is on the clear and credible description of how the proposed STP TE project relates to the
surface transportation system. Several questions should be asked:
1. In what way(s) is the project related to surface transportation through present or past use asa transportation resource?
2. Is there a direct connection to a person or event nationally significant in the development of surface transportation?
3. What is the extent of the relationship(s) to surface transportation?
4. What groups and individuals are affected by the relationship(s)?
5. When did the relationship(s) start and end or does the relationship(s) continue?
6. Is a relationship substantial enough to justify the investment of transportation funds?
The STP TE guidance states that proximity to a transportation facility alone is NOT sufficient to establisha relationship.
The following application types generally have been considered ineligible by the FHWA, in cooperationwith the Iowa Department of Transportation.
1. Surfacing or resurfacing of existing roads or construction of new roads;
2. Construction of surfacing of parking lots (unless trailhead parking lot);
3. Construction of low water crossings on roads;
4. Picnic shelters, picnic tables, grills (unless directly related to a trailhead);
5. Construction of new buildings (unless they are rest rooms or trailhead shelters in conjunctionwith trails that will accommodate bikes or pedestrians);
6. Mitigation or NEPA Section 106 documentation of a bridge replacement;
7. Applications without a public sponsor (city, state, or county agency);
8. Historic applications where the facility or structure is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (please review with the State Historic Preservation Office, SHPO);
9. Historic preservation activities, which do not demonstrate some significant historic connectionwith transportation system;
10. Normal environmental mitigation work.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) retained 50 percent of the STP TE funds and isprogramming those funds for Statewide STP TE projects. The other 50 percent of the STP TE funds goto MPO’s and Regional Planning Affiliations (RPA’s).
A STP TE project may be developed in cooperation with other local jurisdictions, or public/privateagencies, but the project must be sponsored and submitted to the Des Moines Area MPO by a membergovernment. The STP TE funding is provided on a reimbursement basis, with the maximum amount of the federal funding of 80 percent of the eligible activities, and with the sponsoring government or agencyproviding at least 20 percent of the total eligible costs.

Amending and Revising the Transportation Improvement Program
The Des Moines Area MPO staff considers the following criteria when amending and revising theTransportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Des Moines Area MPO staff believes these criteria to beconsistent with all Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA)requirements.
Proposed changes to the Des Moines Area MPO TIP are considered amendments if they meet any of the following criteria:
• A project is added to the TIP in any fiscal year;
• The federal funds are increased by 20% or more of the original amount; or
• There is a major change in scope; for STP projects, a major change in scope is subject to thereview of the STP Funding Subcommittee.
If the Des Moines Area MPO staff considers a change to the TIP to be an amendment, the Des Moines Area MPO will need to approve the requested change and will need to follow the Public Participation
Process, as included in Section 1, beginning on Page 18. The Des Moines Area MPO staff will schedule aTIP Public Meeting on a date before the Des Moines Area MPO meeting at which the Des Moines AreaMPO will be taking action on a proposed amendment. The Des Moines Area MPO staff will issue anannouncement of the TIP Public Meeting a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled publicinput meeting. If the Des Moines Area MPO approves the TIP amendment, the Des Moines Area MPOstaff then will notify the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and FHWA or FTA requestingthat the Iowa DOT incorporate the amendment into the Iowa DOT’s Statewide TIP. Generally, TIPamendments will take a minimum of sixty (60) days to complete.
Proposed changes to the Des Moines Area MPO TIP to be considered revisions if the proposed changesdo not meet any of the amendment criteria. Revisions often include the following types of changes:
• A project is moved between fiscal years in the approved TIP;
• The total project cost is lowered;• A project’s federal funding source has changed;
• Minor changes in scope; or,
• Minor changes (less than 20%) to the federally funded portion of the project.
If the Des Moines Area MPO staff considers a change to the TIP to be a revision, the Des Moines AreaMPO staff will handle the revision administratively. Following a thorough review of a proposed revision,the Des Moines Area MPO staff will process the revision by notifying the Iowa DOT and FHWA or FTA of the revision, so the change(s) will be incorporated into the Iowa DOT’s Statewide TIP. The Des Moines Area MPO staff will notify the Des Moines Area MPO and Des Moines Area MPO TTC representatives of allTIP revisions through Informational Items on their monthly meeting agendas.

1. The Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), whenconsidering project requests for Surface Transportation Program (STP) orSTP Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds, shall place primary
emphasis upon metropolitan-wide transportation system improvementneeds as identified in the MPO’s Horizon Year Metropolitan
Transportation Plan, and how those needs impact the movement of people and goods throughout this metropolitan area and how therequested project will have potential benefit and potential impact on allcommunities in the Des Moines metropolitan area. The MPO shall givefirst consideration to funding regionally significant transportation projectsin the Plan.
2. All projects applying for MPO STP or STP TE funding must be sponsoredby one or more of the sixteen MPO member governments, the IowaDepartment of Transportation, or the Des Moines Metropolitan Transit
Authority. Other entities are eligible only with co-sponsorship by one of the organization’s listed above. When applying for STP or STP TE fundsa sponsor must submit a resolution from that sponsor’s council, board of supervisors, or similar governing body, guaranteeing the local funds forthe STP match and authorizing the project.

4. Jurisdictions undertaking STP projects must bear the initial expendituresof the project, and receive reimbursement for eligible expenditures, asdefined by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The agreement with
the Iowa Department of Transportation provides for reimbursement of up to 80 percent of the project cost, or a set amount, whichever is less.Design and engineering costs are generally incurred in the early stages
of a project.5. For roadway and Transportation Enhancement projects, the amount of
funds expended for work other than direct construction and right-of-wayacquisition costs must be covered by the amount of the contribution of local funds. Federal regulations generally require a minimum local matchof 20 percent of the total project cost.
6. Each application for STP funding must include a detailed breakdown of projected costs, including a summary of projected costs for work otherthan construction and right-of-way.
7. Funding within the various STP and STP TE project categories shall bebased on the following percentages of the MPO’s annual STP and STP TEfunds amount, as follows:
STP:Major construction 50 to 75%Minor construction 5 to 15%Preservation 5 to 15% Alternative transportation 5 to 15%
STP TE:Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities 33%Scenic/Environmental 33%Historic Preservation 33%
If an insufficient number of qualified STP projects have been submitted
that would use all funding for a particular STP project category, the MPO
then may allocate the remaining funds from that STP category to anyother project category.
8. STP funds shall be allocated to an individual project for a specific fiscalyear in the TIP. For projects extending over multiple years forimplementation, funds may be allocated to each of the necessary fiscalyears within the TIP to complete the requested project.
9. If the total amount of STP or STP TE funds received by the MPO for anygiven fiscal year is less than the total amount of STP or STP TE fundsallocated by the MPO for that fiscal year, then the MPO shall re-evaluateall of the projects funded for that fiscal year and reallocate STP and STPTE funds to those projects based upon the total amount of STP and STPTE funds actually available for that fiscal year, giving consideration to the
higher ranking projects.
10. The MPO shall fund a project not to exceed the STP or STP TE grant
amount awarded, or the percentage of the awarded project cost, whichever is less, except for Contingency Fund procedures. Any STP or STPTE funds returned to the MPO for this reason shall be included in theMPO’s next fiscal year STP or STP TE funding allocation.

Project Priority Ranking
1. A new priority ranking shall be established prior to the annualdevelopment of the MPO’s TIP, to re-rank projects previously submitted,but not approved, for STP or STP TE funding, as well as any projectsrequesting STP or STP TE funding consideration for the first time.
2. Prior to review of new projects to be considered for STP or STP TEfunding, the MPO shall determine the status of all prior commitments. All projects previously approved and for which some part of STP or STPTE funds have been obligated shall receive priority consideration forfuture funding, except if reasonable progress to completion is not
maintained as determined by the MPO. However, the MPO may reduceor eliminate multi-year funding commitments in response to revenueshortfalls, reductions in its STP or STP TE allocation, or new priorities.
3. The MPO’s Transportation Technical Committee (TTC) and MPO staff shall submit to the MPO a technical ranking of individual project requestsfor MPO STP or STP TE funding assistance. The TTC’s and staff’srecommendations for individual projects shall be used by the MPO in the
MPO’s decision-making process for assigning STP and STP TE funds torequesting transportation improvement projects. The TTC’s and staff’s
recommendations shall be based on their professional and technicalexpertise.
4. Once the MPO has selected projects for funding based on the MPO’scurrent guidelines, the MPO Executive Director shall forward a letter tothe MPO STP and STP TE funds recipient outlining the stipulationsassociated with acceptance of the MPO’s funds, including the need forthe recipient to submit a project concept statement within one year of the MPO STP or STP TE funding award and that the recipient needs toprovide the MPO Executive Director a semi-annual report on the status
of and the progress on the project which will be shared with the MPO.
5. When a jurisdiction changes the scope of a project, after funds areawarded by the MPO, the project must be reviewed again by the TTCand the MPO STP Funding Subcommittee to determine whether thechange in project scope would have materially changed the originalprioritization ranking. Based on that determination, the Subcommitteewill make a recommendation to the MPO Executive Committee, up to andincluding the withdrawal of MPO approval for STP funding for theproject. This is the same process that may occur when a project doesnot make appropriate, scheduled progress leading to recapture andreallocation of future funds previously designated for the project. TheMPO Executive Committee will, after due consideration, make arecommendation to the full MPO for a final decision. Immaterial changesthat would not affect the original scoring of a project previously ranked
and approved for MPO funding may be permitted in the sound discretionof the MPO Executive Director.
Funding for Large, Multi-Year ProjectsFunding of large, multi-year projects with major construction category STP funds for inclusion inthe MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) shall be based on the following criteria:
7/28/2019 Transportation Improvement Program FY 2007-2010
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/transportation-improvement-program-fy-2007-2010 22/94
Federal Fiscal Years 2007– 2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 1, Page 16Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
1. Any Des Moines Area MPO member government or participating agencyawarded Surface Transportation Program funding through the DesMoines Area MPO must begin to use those Surface Transportation
Program funds in the original year programmed;
2. In its annual selection of Surface Transportation Program projects, theDes Moines Area MPO may dedicate an amount not to exceed fifty
percent (50%) of the Major Construction project category funds to multi-year projects;
3. For an individual, multi-year project, the Des Moines Area MPO mayguarantee funding for no more than three consecutive years. In theevent the annual apportionment of funds is lower than expected at thetime of programming, a percentage of the Major Construction categorymay be guaranteed. In the event the annual apportionment of funds isas expected or higher than was expected at the time of programming,then a set amount would be guaranteed;
4. If a project applicant anticipates the project continuing beyond the initialthree years of guaranteed funding, and anticipates seeking additionalfunding through the Des Moines Area MPO, the project applicant would
have the ability to submit a new project funding application to the DesMoines Area MPO, and would need to go through the Des Moines AreaMPO’s project prioritization process to seek project funding beyond theinitial three-year period; and
5. The Surface Transportation Program Funding Subcommittee has theability to recommend funding for a period that exceeds a three-yearlimitation for a project that the subcommittee considers of extraordinaryregional significance.
Additional Fund Availability
In the event that STP or STP TE funds become available, which were previously awarded to
transportation projects, become available through the reduction of the reserve amount, orbecome available by an increase in a particular fiscal year’s obligation limit, the following stepswill be followed, in order, until the situation is sufficiently resolved.
For STP Funds:1. Additional funds will be offered to those projects which were awarded
funds through the Project Priority process, yet were not fully funded bythe MPO. Projects will be considered based on their previous scores. Allproject information will be updated and considered, but no re-scoring of projects will take place. Those projects currently in implementation willbe excluded.
2. Additional funds will be offered to those projects which applied for funds,received a score, but were not awarded funding. Projects will be
considered based on the score they received and only projects scoringabove 50 points will be considered. Project information will be updated.
3. Projects which have already been awarded funds, and which areprogrammed after the current program year in the TIP, will beconsidered for funding in the current program year if, upon review, theprojects are ready to proceed with implementation.

Federal Fiscal Years 2007– 2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 1, Page 17Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
For STP TE funds:1. Fully funded projects which need more money; then
2. Projects which were awarded part of the requested amount.
3. Projects in out years which can be moved forward.
Projects will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and funded based upon need or by aproportion of the funds available.
Status Reports
1. The MPO shall be advised semi-annually of the status and progress of aSTP or STP TE funded project. The recipient jurisdiction/agency shall
submit to the MPO’s Executive Director a written synopsis of theprogress accomplished, or delays encountered, in implementing theproject.
2. If the status report is not provided to the MPO Executive Director by thedate identified in the status report request, the MPO Executive Director
will issue a notice of delinquency identifying a ten (10) calendar day cureperiod beginning upon receipt of the registered notice. If the statusreport is not submitted by the end of the cure period, the matter will bebrought before the MPO STP Funding Subcommittee within thirty (30)
calendar days for a recommendationfor action that will be forwarded to the MPO Executive Committee forconsideration and referral to the MPO.
3. If a jurisdiction/agency’s STP or STP TE funded project does not makesatisfactory progress, does not obligate the STP or STP TE fundsprovided within the year those funds were authorized by the MPO andnoted for that project as previously documented, then the MPO maycancel the remaining STP or STP TE funding for that project and returnthose STP or STP TE funds for inclusion in the next fiscal year’s STP or
STP TE funding allocation for projects. Such action to cancel projectfunding shall be based on the following criteria:
a. The MPO strongly believes it necessary to maintain rapidturnover of funds and implementation of specific projects so asnot to jeopardize the loss of any funding.
b. The MPO strongly encourages jurisdictions/agencies to have at
least preliminary project plans completed prior to submitting aproject for the MPO’s consideration for funding.
c. The MPO strongly believes that such a stipulation shall cause jurisdictions/agencies to provide better and more accurateproject cost estimates and detailed traffic and engineering data,
enabling both the TTC and the MPO to evaluate a project’sfeasibility in a more detailed manner.
Interpretation
When and as necessary, the STP Funding Subcommittee will exercise responsibility forinterpreting the applicable Guidelines, subject to review and approval, disapproval, or

Facilities
Administrative & Maintenance Facility Engineering & Design (2007 - 2010) – MTA has undergone severalfacility improvements in the past several years, a few of which include a new storage building, buswasher and a new board/training room. These improvements will continue, as MTA needs to increaseparking spaces for vehicles, enhance maintenance operations and secure MTA’s facility/property. These
funds would allow MTA staff to hire engineering firms to help plan, design, and cost out theseimprovements to place projects within future grant applications. These general repairs will beaccomplished from 2007 - 2010 for a total of $80,000.
Deteriorating Concrete (2007 – 2010) – The age and wear on the facility’s pavement makes it necessaryto systematically replace portions of the concrete. This has been a recurring task for the past severalyears. MTA staff was advised that replacing sections of concrete meeting highway specifications wouldbe necessary for MTA’s type of operation, since the water table is higher than normal at our location.MTA’s plan is to replace the driving path around the MTA facility, which would cost approximately$500,000. MTA started the process in 2005 and has $435,000 remaining to complete this endeavor.
Purchase Land Railroad Right-Of-Way West of the MTA (2007) – MTA has minimum space to
park vehicles on the property. In looking at the future, there may be need to expand the fleet and retainvehicles past their useful life. The property west of MTA is the best choice for expansion of the propertyline. If purchased, MTA could utilize the property for extra parking and/or space for snow removal. Longterm, MTA may request discretionary funding from the state for a new storage/maintenance facility. Themaintenance portion of this facility would provide for a larger and more efficient body shop. MTA estimates the purchase price of the land to be $75,000.
Maintenance Centralized Office/Secured Tool Room (2007) – Currently, the maintenance officesits on ground level on the south side of the shop area. MTA’s Maintenance Manager is strategicallyplaced at second floor level above the shop, which enables the manager a view of the current work inprogress by the technicians. However, Maintenance Directors directly oversee the daily activities of the technicians in the shop areas. Placing the managers at the second floor level above the shop as wellwould provide them a means to enhance their ability to supervise the work being performed. By movingthe Directors’ office out in the middle of the shop and having it elevated above the old alignment pit, theywould be more visible and maintain better control of the daily maintenance functions. Access to thealignment pit would still be available for storage.
In addition, technological advances in maintenance now require mechanics to have access to computerequipment that could readily be accessed in this central location where supervision is available.Maintenance and parts manuals would be available to technicians online providing them the ability toobtain technical support from equipment manufacturers via MTA’s server. With the new training/testingprogram becoming available this spring for transit technicians to become ASE certified is a critical step inachieving this certification, which is nationwide goal, for apprentices as well as our journeymen.
The final project with this enhancement would be converting the location where the maintenance
managers currently reside into a secure shop equipment storage location. Currently various hand toolssuch as drills, special sockets, torque wrenches, electronic equipment and computers are stored invarious locations within the maintenance garage. In a large secured area, lost time searching for thetools/equipment would be eliminated and secondly the area would only be accessed by the MaintenanceDirectors, or employee assigned the control of this area, whereby an electronic check-out/check-insystem is in place. The door would be coded with a key allowing access only to the MaintenanceDirectors. The total project cost is $50,000.

Admin./Maint./Storage Facility
• Storage/Furnace Room (2008) – MTA is in need of additional storage for the facility formaintenance, marketing and operational materials. Additional space is necessary to storeschedules/system route maps, promotional materials and archived hardcopy files. A room addedto the west side of the property would solve these issues, as well as provide added storage to
expand functions in the current copying room. This also could accommodate space for furnacesfor the front office area, which will help alleviate the problems of erratic heating and cooling inthat area. The total cost is $90,000.
Des Moines Area Regional Transit Facilities Expansion, Land Purchase and A&E Planning(2007) –Expansion of the current metropolitan transit authority into a “regional transit authority” willbegin in FY2007 with the implementation of additional service beginning in July 2007. With this serviceexpansion, MTA will need to purchase vehicles and expand its current facility south to house these newvehicles. It is critical that MTA receive an earmark in FY2006-FY2007 to position it to successfully servenew communities. The earmark would fund vehicles (identified within the Fixed-Route vehicle portion of this plan) expansion of the facility and long-range planning for future facilities needs in the amount of $937,500.
Alternatives Analysis Preliminary Engineering/Design (2007) – MTA is currently in the process of hiring a consultant to complete a feasibility study of high-speed corridors in the Greater Des Moines andCentral Iowa region. This study is scheduled to be completed in December 2007. At that timepreliminary design and engineering will begin on corridors that are selected for construction. A Congressional earmark for this work in FY2007 would ensure that this critical transportation componentwill move forward in a timely manner.
Transit Hub Construction (2007) – MTA is currently in the process of studying areas within thedowntown central business district that we could obtain for new transit hub facilities. Currently, MTA’smain transfer location is a street dedicated to bus traffic – “Walnut Transit Mall.” Within MTA’s study,discussions have occurred to move MTA’s on-street transit mall to a secure block area for a transit hubfacility, where transferring can be done within a secured and monitored site. MTA is currently studyingtwo areas where a facility could work for MTA and downtown businesses leaders. Some preliminarydesign drawings have been suggested to ensure the area would facilitate the transit hub goals for MTA’soperation. This funding would allow the design and construction, as well as the purchase of vehiclesoperated from this facility. This project would also include transfer stations along MTA routes where alarger number of customers transfer between buses. The cost of this project is $20,060,000.
Electronic Controls Replacing Pneumatics (2008) – Currently, two 29-year-old boilers heat theadministrative and maintenance areas on MTA property. MTA recently completed a study to determinethe useful life of the boilers, as the administrative areas have become more difficult to heat and ventilatethroughout the year. The study found that while the boilers could operate another 20 years, the heating,ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control system was obsolete. The HVAC system is currentlycontrolled with pneumatics, which are the original controls to the building dating back to 1976. All of the
codes and requirements have changed since that time. According to the study, pneumatic controls areprone to frequent failure, high maintenance costs, and erratic operation. An electronic system would bemore reliable, dependable, accurate and economical to operate with the ability of more frequent airchanges, which increases better overall air quality for employees. The electronic equipment is also easierto service and parts are more readily available. The recommendation of the study is to replace thepneumatics with electronic controls for the HVAC system. This would provide better heating and airconditioning controls in the main administrative office areas, allowing staff to adjust office temperaturesas well as make the system more efficient for a total cost of $90,000.

Federal Fiscal Years 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 3, Page 6Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
Burner Conversion for Boilers (2008) – Currently, two 29-year-old boilers heat the administrativeand maintenance areas on MTA property. A few years ago, MTA completed a study to determine theuseful life of the boilers. The study found that the boilers could operate another 20 years with periodicmaintenance such as burner conversions. This would entail replacing the controls and gas train, which isthe safety mechanism for shutting off gas to the boilers when combustion does not occur. The gas train
consists of piping for the gas, pressure regulators, gas sensing devices and valves. Total project cost is$50,000 for two burner conversions.
Storage/Maintenance Facility (2008) – If land is secured to the west of the MTA property, MTA is inneed of additional storage and maintenance areas. Specifically if MTA’s fleet size increases, MTA will lack the room within the existing storage barn to house more buses. In addition, there is not adequatecapacity in the paint booth to work on articulated buses. A new facility could house additional storage forvehicles, shelter storage, and a larger paint booth with more room for all types of MTA vehicles and alarger body shop. Discretionary funding would be requested from the state to fund this new facility. Thisproject would be brought to the board for approval prior to construction. The total project cost is$3,000,000.
Facility Repairs (2009 - 2010) – MTA’s facility is now 29 years old and major repairs are often
necessary to provide for the efficient operation of the building. The specific repairs or replacements willbe scheduled as needed, however the following is a list of potential improvements: paint existing shopareas and possible improvements to the MTA multipurpose room. These general repairs will beaccomplished from 2009 - 2010 for a total of $100,000.
Security for Facility (2009 – 2010) – The Federal Transit Administration requires transit agencies toexpend 1% of their apportionment on security projects that MTA must certify to FTA each year. In thedevelopment of the Security Plan, staff has ascertained areas of concern with the facility regardingsafety. Overall, these funds will be used to provide a more secure facility for MTA employees, customersand property. Approximately $20,000 in the years identified would be allocated for these projects, for atotal of $40,000.
Support Equipment
Shop Equipment (2007-2010) – MTA would spend between $30,000 - $50,000 each year of this planin order to meet new federal regulations, repair equipment failures or to replace equipment where partsare no longer available. Past purchases have included items such as the bus washer upgrade, auto floorscrubber, battery chargers and GFI testing equipment.
• Riding Sweeper/Scrubber (2007 and 2009) – In order to keep spills cleaned upand prevent personnel injuries, two heavy-duty sweeper scrubbers are needed tomaintain the floor in MTA’s storage barns. The existing scrubbers were purchased in1993 and 2001, and need to be replaced. MTA recommends replacing one in 2002 andone in 2009 at a cost of $50,000 each.
• Walk-Behind Scrubber (2007) – A walk-behind scrubber is used to clean the spills onfloors in the maintenance area so mechanics are not risking personal injury due to falls.This equipment would also clean areas the riding scrubber is unable to reach. The totalcost of this project is $10,000.
• Waste Oil Heater for Tire Room – (2007) –The current waste oil heater waspurchased in 1993 for the service lane, and was moved to the tire room when the bus

Federal Fiscal Years 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 3, Page 7Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
lane upgrade was complete in 2006. The heater has undergone several repairs and is inneed of replacement as it is no longer reliable. The cost for this project is $12,000.
Gantry Platform (2008 and 2009) – Maintenance technicians currently perform repairs to roof-mounted air-conditioning units by climbing on top of the buses. A gantry platform, similar to scaffolding,would be positioned along the side of the bus to provide adequate protection to personnel from falling.
MTA recommends purchasing three gantries for a total cost of $45,000.
Miscellaneous Equipment (2007-2010) – Each year in order to efficiently administer its operations,MTA equipment needs to be purchased/replaced. This category would allow MTA to use grant funds toassist in these purchases. Items that could be purchased under this category are: chairs/tables for themultipurpose room, office modular furniture, chairs, office equipment, billiards table, radio equipment,etc. MTA would spend between $5,950 and $25,000 each year of this plan for a total of $62,408.
• Self Propelled Scissor Lift (2007) – MTA employees are often hoisted up via a fork lift to gain access to the roof to repair portions of the facility. Access to the roof willoccur more often with the 2006 purchase of the digital camera system, which will bestrategically placed around the facility for security. A scissor lift will be a safer way for
employees to gain access to these areas, and since the scissor lift can be operated byone employee, it will provide a more efficient use of personnel. The total cost of the liftwould be $20,000.
• Portable Electric Hoists (2008 and 2009) – In order to do underbody repair work;MTA currently utilizes ten portable electric hoists for lifting small buses and articulatedbuses. The hoists are currently seven years old and are in need of replacement. Thetotal cost is $140,000.
• Carpeting in Front Office (2007) – The carpeting in the front office area was installedafter the 1993 flood and as a result the carpeting in certain offices is wearing thin.These areas will be identified and the carpeting replaced within the offices for $16,500.
• Make-up air & Heaters (2008) – Make-up air system is needed to maintain thetemperature of the facility when the exhaust fans kick in the maintenance garage areas.The roof-mounted heaters were an original part of the facility 29 years ago. The heatershave failed several times this past winter preventing startups of the exhaust equipmentto extract exhaust from the garage areas. The total cost for this project is $59,000.
Supervisory Vehicles (2007 and 2010) – MTA street supervisors use vans to assist drivers and thepublic. The vans will ensure that MTA supervisors can deliver a quality, reliable service. At times thismay necessitate carrying passengers from a bus that has broken down en-route. MTA proposes toreplace fixed-route department vans every four years. Paratransit would have one supervisory vanreplaced every five years. These purchases range from $25,000 - $29,000 per vehicle.
• Administration Vehicles (2010) – Administration staff uses a van and a sedan toassist in daily MTA business, such as delivery of pass sales inventory, materials toprinters, etc. These vehicles are also used to transport staff to meeting sites as well asenabling administrative staff to help with special operational functions, such as the firstday of school or State Fair shuttle. MTA proposes to replace these vehicles when theyare five years of age at a cost of between $20,000 and $28,000 per vehicle.

In-ground Hoist Replacement (2009 - 2010) – Currently, MTA has 7 in-ground hoists in the shoparea. They are 29 years old having been purchased and installed with the construction of the building.Several repairs have been necessary due to safety issues with the equipment. Two overhauls of theequipment have been completed in the past fifteen years keep oil from spilling into the ground. Staff recommends replacement of the hoists in order to solve these issues at a cost of $75,000 per hoist. Theproject will be completed between 2009 and 2011 for a total cost of $525,000.
Technology
• Computer Hardware/Software (2007-2010) – MTA’s Information Technologydepartment plans to replace fifteen workstations and monitors each year for the durationof this plan. Additional purchases throughout this period include replacing and/orupgrading: servers and their software, operating systems, laptops, printers, andmiscellaneous software programs.
• RideCheck: Schedule Interface (2007) – RideCheck is the software program thathelps MTA’s planning department perform the system-wide count of all MTA’s boardingsand alightings as well as the yearly National Transit Database sampling requirement.
Currently, all of the schedules and patterns need to be data entered into this softwareprogram separately for the ridership checks to be generated. These schedules andpatterns are already within Trapeze, MTA’s schedule software. With the purchase of thisinterface, the schedules and patterns would be downloaded into RideCheck with akeystroke eliminating the unnecessary data entry and possibility for errors. The totalcost of this software is $8,300.
• Trapeze: FX Scheduling Customization (2007) – In 2004, MTA purchased a newscheduling software package, FX Scheduling program, to build and generate schedules,blocks and runs for the fixed-route system. Within the program is an embeddedrostering program that takes the blocks of work that were created and forms them into abid piece of work for the operators. The roster program then takes these individualblocks (i.e. straight runs, split-shift runs and trippers), and allows staff to assembleweekly pieces of work called a bid run. The program then calculates the total weeklyhours that would be worked by an operator, taking into account overtime, work guarantees, penalty pay and other costing functions. Also, the program has anoptimizing function that allows staff to run optimizing scenarios to reduce overtime andoverall costs. However, the program currently does not allow staff to build the work asneeded to fulfill operators’ contract requirements. Therefore, staff manually completesthe roster, with the goal of piecing the work together in the most cost-efficient manner.With minor customization, the FX program would allow MTA’s scheduler to roster thework within the computer program, and easily refine the work to meet contractrequirements. This customization would also allow hours worked by operators tointegrate into to any MIS system purchased in the future. The total cost of thiscustomization is $7,000.
• Computer maps for Trapeze (2007 and 2008) – In 2004, MTA purchased a newscheduling software package to generate work bids throughout the year. The programdepends a great deal on how detailed the base maps are in providing the most currentup-to-date information. MTA recommends purchasing updates for Polk and Dallascounties each year. The total purchase for the years identified is $20,000.

• MIS System Replacement (2007-2009) –MTA purchased the FleetNet computersoftware in 1997 for use within administrative, maintenance and accountingdepartments. Upgrading the program has been a challenge, and typically MTA schedulesone large and several smaller upgrades each year. Problems in the program have alsobecome evident over the past few years, and it is a struggle to perform daily tasks. MTA staff just completed a study of the MIS software requirements needed for departments
along with a cost analysis. It was determined that the total cost for this new MISpurchase would be approximately $2.5 million. This cost has been justified throughidentifying other systems purchasing the same type of software and evaluating theirprocurements. This plan identifies additional dollars to be allocated for this purchase inthe amounts of $319,661, $163,195 and $1,696,668 between FY2007 and FY2009.
• RideShare Computer Upgrade (2009) – MTA’s RideShare vanpool/carpool programwas formed in 1995. The basis of the program is to generate “rideshare” matches out of a centralized database. The system links individuals who may have an opportunity forsharing a ride to/from work, either by traveling in one of RideShare’s vanpools or byorganizing their own carpool. The database program and matching capabilities are thecornerstone for the program. MTA has upgraded the program twice; once in 1999 andagain in 2004. Following this strategy, another upgrade would be scheduled for 2009 for
approximately $50,000.
Paratransit Hardware Mobile Data Terminals - MDT’s (2008) – Mobile Data Terminals are utilizedwithin Paratransit vehicles to download schedules on demand. Currently, Paratransit does not utilizeMDT’s, and bus operators must radio the dispatcher for each pickup and departure. Once thepickup/departure is made, the dispatcher enters the information into the computer. By placing MDT’swithin Paratransit vehicles, the drivers would enter the information directly into a computer that isconnected to the dispatch computer. This would eliminate unnecessary radio communication, and theduplication of effort by the driver and dispatcher who both now document the completed trip. The costfor this on-demand software is approximately $150,000.
Automatic Vehicle Locator System Replacement (2008) – MTA’s current Automatic Vehicle Locator(AVL) system was purchased in 1995 and has become obsolete. The developers of the program will nolonger support the equipment, therefore MTA is unable to purchase additional units or repair the existingones. This AVL would provide state of the art technology for the future incorporation of high-speedcorridors for the metropolitan area. This purchase would be made as part of a potential statewideearmark for this technology for Iowa urban systems. This purchase will cost an estimated $1,500,000.
Online Trip Planner (2008) – MTA currently answers over 10,200 schedule information trip requestsvia telephone or through the internet by e-mailing customers. E-mail responses are generated by handand sent back to the customers with a guarantee of response within 48 hours. Information via telephoneis immediate, but it is not accessible after working hours. An online trip planner would provide on-demand, detailed information to customers on demand. It would be available to customers at anytime of the day or night via the internet. In addition, MTA employees would also be able to give out schedule
information with this easy tool. This purchase would also be a request for discretionary funding after theITS plan is completed by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
Fareboxes (2009) – MTA’s current fareboxes were purchased in 1998, and since that time MTA hasadded six new faresets to the system due to the On-Call service, leaving no room for expansion in thecurrent system. MTA is in need of additional fareset capability. MTA has also upgraded its media toinclude swipe-card technology on passes, bringing the periodic maintenance of this new fare type tostaff’s attention. Maintenance reports on the swipe-card function are available, however not compatible

with the farebox software for the system. MTA needs the ability to perform maintenance assessments onswipe-card performance. In addition, MTA has placed a trim reader in its capital needs, which wouldallow automatic transfers to be issued. MTA could also replace tokens with cash-value-card technologythat the trim produces. MTA recommends the purchase of new fareboxes that allow improvements in theabove areas as well as the following upgrades:
¾ Provides advanced driver and passenger displays showing transaction functions¾ Accepts and validates coins and bills, returning unacceptable coins and bills to passengers¾ Provides electronic change in the form of cash value cards¾ Issues, prints and encodes machine-readable transfers from blank stock stored internally¾ Accepts and automatically validates transfers issued¾ Supports credit card usage¾ Supports employee ID programs¾ Multi-level fare tables for passenger categories, time differentials, zone options and fare media
type
The total cost for this project would be approximately $12,500 per farebox for a total of $1,537,500 for123 fareboxes.

The successful implementation of MTA’s six-year Capital Plan is dependent upon the availability of localand federal funding. This section will analyze the sources and availability of these funding sources.Capital budgets for the MTA fixed-route service, Paratransit and Central Iowa RideShare are developedseparately. Each department must accumulate approximately 20% of the total capital funding required,
with the remaining portion secured from the federal government. The table below shows the source of local funds needed from each of the departments for the next six years, with the first two years brokenout:
Local Funds Required by Department
FY2007 FY2008 FY2009-FY2012 Fixed Route $852,616 $849,824 $5,224,687Paratransit $238,810 $80,280 $353,060Central Iowa RideShare $72,800 $59,400 $511,000
Local funds are accumulated on a departmental basis from three main sources: operational budgetsavings, capital budget savings and depreciation built into the operating budgets. The size of the
depreciation line item included in the budget is determined by the amount of required local-match that isidentified in the Capital Plan. The table below identifies current local capital funds available for eachdepartment in FY2007, and makes a comparison to the funding that is required. As shown, Fixed-Route,Paratransit and RideShare departments all have adequate funding for their FY2007 procurements ascurrently identified. In addition, MTA has other potential funds available from FY2007 operating savingsand uncommitted operating from previous years.

The appendix includes three tables that identify the local funds thatare needed to implement this Capital Plan. Projections are based on recommended depreciation levelsfor each operating budget, and projected operating savings based on past trends. Keep in mind thatFY2009 – FY2012 projects were developed based on needs, rather than what projects can be federallyfunded.
Fixed-route requires $4,749,195 in total operating savings between FY2007 and FY2012 to cover local-match needs. This equates to an average of $791,532 operating savings per year. With the transition toa regional transit system, a levy may be feasible to obtain additional local capital match dollars to meet

MTA’s needs for this capital plan. Paratransit and RideShare would not need to allocate any savingsduring the six-year period. Overall, MTA must produce these budget savings for Fixed-Route or makesome difficult decisions in accordance with the federal funding available each year. If these savings donot materialize, MTA will need to reassess its capital program.
Federal Funding
Federal funding accounts for 80-83% of MTA’s capital purchases, and as a result is critical to the successof the MTA Capital Plan. Over the next six years, MTA needs $75,690,721in federal funds. In FY2007alone, MTA must receive $28,960,698 in federal funds in order to secure the capital purchases that arerecommended. There are five potential funding sources for federal capital funding for transit projects,described in the section below.
Potential Federal Funding Sources
FTA Formula FundingEach year, MTA receives Section 5307 formula funds that are allocated based on system milesand ridership. MTA can allocate these funds for either capital purchases, or utilize a portion of the funds to supplement the operating budget. These are the only funds that are available to
MTA as a source of operating subsidies. With the first year of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,and Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users implementation, transit overallincreased their guaranteed funding by 46%. However, MTA’s apportionment decreased by over3% in FY2006. It is estimated that SAFETEA-LU funding will increase back up to the FY2005level in FY2007 and grow for the remainder of Act’s duration.
STP FundsSurface Transportation Program funds are also provided through TEA-21 and are allocated tocities and transit agencies through the Metropolitan Planning Organization. These funds can beused for projects that are normally eligible for highway funding or transit funding. Traditionally,these funds have been used to support highway projects but the Des Moines MPO allocates 5-15% of their total funds (estimated $6 million) each year towards alternative transportationprojects. Therefore MTA is eligible for funding from $300,000 to $900,000. Typically, MTA receives STP funds totaling $520,000 per year.
CMAQ/ICAAPThe CMAQ program has been re-authorized through the life of SAFETEA-LU in the amount of $4.5 million per year for the State of Iowa. Transit projects can be submitted for CMAQ funding(in the State of Iowa, they are called ICAAP funds), but these requests must be related tocongestion reduction and air quality improvements.
Statewide Transit Earmark Iowa’s transit systems and the Iowa Department of Transportation have successfully earmarkedfederal capital funds to be used throughout the state. In recent years, funding has been in thearea of $2-5 million a year, a fraction of the statewide need. The funds are allocated throughout
the state utilizing a priority system that ranks the vehicles in Iowa transit systems based on theirage and miles traveled. Funds are also set aside for existing facility needs, security/safety issues,expansion of facilities, and expansion/replacement of miscellaneous equipment. It is difficult toget an exact sense of how much money MTA may receive on an annual basis.
Special Earmark for Des MoinesIn addition, Congress has the ability to specifically earmark capital funds for Des Moines toreplace buses. While Des Moines has been successful in securing earmarks for special projects,

Federal Fiscal Years 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 5, Page 4Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
this has become more difficult for several reasons, including increasing pressure on thecongressional delegation by the other transit operators in the state and the delegation’s desire toprovide reasonable funding for all transit systems.
Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF)
In 1995, the legislative general assembly developed the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF)
to fund public infrastructure-related expenditures. This infrastructure RIIF funds includes landacquisition and construction, major renovation and major repair of buildings, all appurtenantstructures, utilities site development and recreational trails. Initially dedicated interest earningsfrom other state programs were credited to RIIF and the interest gained within the RIIF programwas retained there as well. Currently, the fund receives revenues from gambling proceeds andtobacco settlement payments as well. Transit infrastructure construction has not beentraditionally funded under this program.
Anticipated Formula Fund Allocation
Of the five sources of funding, only formula funds are guaranteed as an annual source of income. Belowis a chart that identifies formula funds that could be expected through the life of this plan, and theportion of those funds that are available for capital, assuming planning funds would increase by 1.5% per
year and formula funds would remain stable.
Formula Allocation Planning Available Capital
FY2007 $4,873,768 $438,000 $4,943,462
FY2008 $5,068,718 $444,570 $4,624,148
FY 2009 $5,271,467 $451,239 $4,820,228
FY 2010 $5,482,326 $458,007 $5,024,319
FY 2011 $5,701,619 $464,877 $5,236,742
FY 2012 $5,929,683 $471,850 $5,457,833
$32,327,581 $2,728,543 $30,106,732
Over the life of this plan, formula funds are anticipated to provide $30,106,732 in capital funds,compared to a six-year need of federal funds in the amount of $75,690,721. Thus, MTA must look to theother four sources of funding to eliminate this $45,583,989 deficit. The following indicates the likelihoodthat MTA would be able to access these funding sources to solve MTA’s federal funding issues.
STP Funds : MTA can expect to compete for $300,000 to $900,000 each year from FY2010 - FY2012through the STP project priority process. The MPO has funded vans and buses in the past, and the useof STP dollars for these replacements will continue to be a possibility. However, the need for highwayprojects in the area might make transit a lower priority. MTA has requested and been approved by theMPO for $520,000 in STP funds from FY2007 - FY2009.
CMAQ/ICAAP Funding : Transit capital projects are eligible for statewide CMAQ (ICAAP) dollars. MTA hasdeveloped new services such as the Urbandale On-Call service and Extended Green projects in recentyears. The Urbandale On-Call service funding expanded MTA’s fleet by three vehicles. CMAQ funds alsosupport the Unlimited Access Demonstration project staff is currently developing. Traditionally theseproject funds operating new services/programs but also aids in the purchase of vehicles for theseservices.

Federal Fiscal Years 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program Section 5, Page 5Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
Statewide Transit Earmark : Each year, funds are appropriated by Iowa’s congressional delegation to beused to replace transit buses and facility needs throughout the state. The state then ranks all buseswithin the Transportation Improvement Plan by a criterion according to vehicle type, miles and age. AsMTA’s fleet ages, if other funds don’t become available, MTA will qualify for a greater portion of thesefunds. If buses can be replaced as scheduled in this plan, this source of funding will be eliminated due tothe lower age of the fleet. MTA has placed facility repairs that may involve safety concerns or increased
maintenance function within recent requests. These do vie well for funding. In the FY2006 request, MTA received $364,739 in state funding to purchase security gates for the MTA campus, fencing around theretainage pond, digital security camera system for the MTA facility/campus and new security cameras forthe other half of MTA’s fixed-route vehicles. Requests for FY2007 include a maintenance centralizedoffice/secured tool room and deteriorating concrete.
Specific Earmark for Des Moines : While this is the most expedient solution, it is also the most difficult toachieve. For the SAFTEA-LU reauthorization, Congressman Boswell was able to secure MTA approximately $836,000 dispersed over the next four years to apply towards the 2003 bus lease of sixteen vehicles. Staff will continue to work with Congressman Boswell’s staff for additional earmarks infuture years as well as the Greater Des Moines Partnership and future planning efforts
Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF) Funding : MTA staff has been working with the Iowa Public
Transportation Association to obtain RIIF funding for the transit for the past several years. This fundingsource would support a possible expansion to MTA’s facility. This funding would not support periodicmaintenance or minor upgrades of buildings but only major construction, renovation, and landacquisition. Transit systems were requested to submit facility needs to illustrate transit need for the RIIFfunds. MTA’s submitted a facility expansion of the bus barn to expand south to incorporate parking forapproximately 30 additional vehicles. Recently, the IDOT was successful in obtaining two years of RIIFfunding for transit to be dispersed by the state. MTA will continue efforts with the IDOT to secure thisnew funding for MTA within the next year.
Conclusion
The following observations can be made regarding MTA’s ability to finance this Capital Plan:
¾ Federal Funding
o MTA has a significant need for federal capital dollars. Over the next six years, $75,690,721 infederal funding will be necessary to meet MTA’s capital needs, and at best, a combination of formula funds, lease and STP funds may generate no more than $45.5 million, leavingapproximately a $30.2 million federal shortfall over the six-year period. MTA must secure stateor federal earmarks during the upcoming years to fund its capital needs.
o Of the federal apportionment that MTA receives each year for capital, the majority of thesedollars is spent on MTA’s operations (preventive maintenance and ADA Paratransit) leaving thecapital side severely short of adequate federal funding. MTA’s formula funding needed for capitalpurchases for FY2007 – FY2012 is estimated at $43,233,132. MTA is allocating $18,506,795
(42.8%) of those funds towards preventive maintenance and ADA Paratransit.
o During the last four years of the plan, the anticipated annual apportionment dollars do not meetall MTA’s capital needs. Instead of receiving $75,690,721 in formula dollars, it is estimated thatMTA will only receive $45,540,721 during this six-year period (note the “ApportionmentUnavailable” text in red on pages 24-28 of this document). In looking at what MTA will mostlikely receive in formula funds, preventive maintenance and ADA Paratransit will account for42.8% of the total dollars received. Approximately 57%, ($1.2 million each year) remains for

actual capital purchases, through yearly needs are between $4.6 and $11.1 million. Again, MTA must secure state or federal earmarks during the upcoming years to make up the difference.
¾ Local Funding
o MTA will need between $174,684 and $1,959,171 in budget savings each year (see orange text
on page 63) to have adequate local funding to purchase its capital needs for fixed-route service.Typically, budget savings are found by allocating depreciation each year within the departmentalbudget or from prior year savings. Together these funds make up the 20% local-matchrequirement for capital purchases. The budget savings described above must be over and abovethe depreciation allocated in the budget for local share match. Another possible resource forMTA may be levying for capital local-match dollars.
o Paratransit and RideShare departments will both have adequate local funding over the course of the six-year plan.
