TPO Policy Committee Workshop on the Transportation Improvement Program of Wednesday, May 12, 2021

I. CALL TO ORDER & PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Chairman, Commissioner Pat Kemp, called the meeting to order at 08:31 AM and led the pledge of allegiance. The regular monthly meeting was held in-person and virtual via WebEx. The following members were present in person: Commissioner Harry Cohen, Commissioner Pat Kemp, Commissioner Kimberly Overman, Charles Klug, and Joe Waggoner The following members were present virtually: Commissioner Mariella Smith, Councilman Guido Maniscalco MPO Board Members were present in person: Mayor Ross, Commissioner Myers, Derek Doughty A quorum was met in person.

II. DISCUSSION ITMES

A. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Update, Preliminary Draft (Johnny Wong, TPO Staff)

Section One: What is the TIP

• LRTP is 20 to 25+ year plan and is broad, TIP is 5-year plan and is specific and detailed. TIP includes phases of the project, funding sources, and locations.

• TIP is one of the MPO main responsibilities. Must abide by regulations and requirements from Federal and State directives.

• TIP consists of three major types of projects. o Table 1: Funded or partially funded, projects in process, are Priorities, remain until complete and

shows community support, already approved by committees and board. o Table 2: Candidates for funding, authority projects they consider to be priorities, go through a

scoring process, if meet criteria, moves to the priority list, goes through additional scoring for ranking.

o Table 3: All other projects from FDOT WP, requests for planning studies, projects that does not fit neatly in one of the programs, CIPs (jurisdiction funded).

• Priority Ranking: Table 2 production process o Sort submissions into investment programs. o Find data and run calculations. o Rank from most impactful to least.

• Funding: codes are funding sources. Early in the TIP there is a link to a glossary of the abbreviations. Examples: SU – surface transportation (flexible); TA – transportation alternative, smaller, multi-modal projects; HSIP – highway safety improvement program, usually in Vision Zero; SIGP – county incentive grant program, provided to counties to alleviate traffic congestion on the highway system

• TIP Tool is an interactive mapping application that shows the location of projects in the TIP and where they are located around the county. It is on the Plan Hillsborough website. o Provides population density, growth locations. o There is a basic equity overlay.

• Health Atlas tool, based on COCs

Section Two, highlighting what has changed from last year’s TIP to this year’s TIP.

• Table One – re-formatted o Projects remain on this list until they are totally done. o Only a few come off each year. o Major differences will be color coding and grouping based on the investment program, will

make it easier to identify community impact. o Four additions: 2 from HART, 1 from TBARTA, 1 multi-modal trail connection o 1 project has been completed, waiting for updates on others.

• Table Two o Projection analytics that were based on the 1% tax. o Review of performance metrics for State of Good Repair & Resilience o State of Good Repair – set targets in 2018 and revisited in 2020. Approximately ½ of bus assets are in a state of good repair. Do not spend a lot of time calculating in this section because there is a huge backlog in this

category. $1.5 Billion expected deficit by 2045 Rather than separating, allocate $4 Million from SU for HART every year.

o Vision Zero – set targets in January and February each year. TIP only concerned with fatalities and serious injuries. Spend quite a bit of time on this section. Pull 5 years-worth of fatal and serious crash data, divide by centerline mile. Nine projects added to the TIP this year.

o Smart Cities – three metrics: interstate reliability, interstate reliability for freight, non-interstate reliability; focus on reliable congestion. Went over criteria for adding projects: peak period travel time, delay at various distances, on-

time performance; these are based on type. Adding four projects to TIP this year.

o Real Choices When Not Driving – do not have federal measures, created own Look at location, identify population density. Ten projects added to the TIP this year.

o Major Investments for Economic Growth – very strict criteria and must be referenced in LRTP; high dollar, highway widening, adding capacity. Look for density of employment, volume capacity ratio, anticipated reduction in vehicle delay

per centerline mile. Four projects added to TIP this year.

Section Three: Next Steps

• Regional Coordination – look at regional significance, input from other MPOs in the region; two working groups. If projects in other MPOs are deemed regionally significant, will appear in Hillsborough TIP. Regional area is West Central Florida.

o Citrus o Hernando o Hillsborough o Manatee o Pasco o Pinellas o Polk o Sarasota

• Continue to collect project information from jurisdictions and prioritize. • Present Draft TIP and Priority list to committees, continue posting updates to website. • Public hearing June 9, 2021. • Beth Alden: shared information on how various areas are identified for optimal use of Federal and

State funding and grants.

Discussion:

Commissioner Kemp: Expressed that a briefing from FDOT and this presentation is the clearest she has received on this topic. Commented that the large-scale maps is very helpful. Requested that printed copies of the TIP would be helpful.

Commissioner Cohen: Commented on the June 25th meeting of the Regional CCC, he is chairing it, is ready to advocate Big Bend as a Regional Priority. Requests that the members of the TPO point out what each feel is a regional priority so he can be prepared to represent the TPO Board accordingly.

Commissioner Smith: Commented she appreciated the clarity of the presentation and requested a copy. Asked about the FDOT submission from May 11. Southcoast Greenway Trail is her priority for Commissioner Cohen to advocate for. Commented that the CAC is a great advocate for the community and appreciates their request for the overlay of the COC overlay on the TIP Tool. Inquired how the CAC will be providing input on the TIP to the TPO Policy and Board.

Commissioner Overman: Commented on how to plan for a CSX opportunity for freight and a commuter option. Number one on the Economic Growth list is the CSX study. This is a priority for the region. The BOCC adopted a process to vote on the TIP and recommend it to the TPO. Gives importance to meeting with leadership. Believes the TIP is a great example of collaboration. Brought up Economic Growth, inquired about the funding sources, noted that it’s not clear if the entities need to go after federal funding.

Mr. Waggoner: inquired if the TIP contains the entire county Transportation Program or only the portion seeking federal funds. Commented that he would like to see a break-down of the numbers between CIP funding and TIP funding.

Commissioner Kemp: Noted many long meetings in the past. Talked about Segment 6 of the Downtown Interchange, noted the CAC voted in favor but added that no more property be taken. Noted that the CAC vets things very well for the TPO Board. Is pleased to see the limit of the interchange plan. Expressed concern about Segment 7 and adding 30’ of pavement up the middle and how it leads into Segment 6. Noted that the best regional project adopted has been the ferry that is being paid for by 5 jurisdictions and that Hillsborough County has voted to continue the St. Petersburgh / Tampa Ferry. Inquired how this project get moved onto the TIP? Discussed CSX project as a priority, interested to see how it moves forward. Brought up the Upper Tampa Bay Trail as a

regional priority. Asked about some specific metrics in the presentation and how they overlay with the TIP. Inquired about the priorities in the Smart Cities new projects. Asked about the need for golf cart needs and if there is anything on the TIP about that. It is a need and will be a need for the future.

Commissioner Cohen: Noted that he did a golf cart ordinance for Davis Island in the City of Tampa. The model could be used around the community.

Board & Committee Agenda Item

Agenda Item: Park Speed Zone Pilot Study

Presenter: Lisa Silva, TPO staff Summary: The Park Speed Zone Pilot Study will develop a process that can be replicated at parks throughout Hillsborough County to implement safety countermeasures with a focus on speed management. A toolbox of safety countermeasures will be developed as part of the process. The pilot project will include three different types of park facilities in Hillsborough County, including local and regional park facilities whose context and transportation safety issues broadly represent other facilities in the region such that the findings from this pilot project can be applied elsewhere in the County. During the first step we identified park facilities to include in the pilot project. Based on a quantitative process that considered equity and transportation safety metrics, the three park locations selected for inclusion in the pilot are Copeland Park, the Upper Tampa Bay Trail (UTBT), and Sulphur Springs Park. For more on the evaluation criteria see Park Selection Process and Park Prioritization (attached). Once the three pilot project locations were identified, a detailed existing conditions assessment was conducted to document the transportation networks in the park vicinity, prevailing travel patterns including speeds, and collisions. (attached) Feedback from the public will be an important component of the project to identify safety concerns that might not be readily apparent with the data. We will then develop a countermeasure toolbox that can be applied to subsequent projects. We are seeking your assistance in providing input and getting the word out. Recommended Action: Feedback only.

Board & Committee Agenda Item

Agenda Item: Storm Evacuation Forecast & Shelter-in-Place Scenarios Study Presenter: Allison Yeh, TPO Staff Summary: A critical component of transportation agencies’ policy and program decision-making is system resilience to disruption. Evacuation plans are one way to respond to disruptions, such as hurricanes, or flooding. These plans are part of state and county operations plans, and include an inventory of available shelters, identification of evacuation routes, and providing transportation services for persons unable to evacuate on their own. The Storm Evacuation Forecast & Shelter-in-Place Scenarios Study will supplement this ongoing work by providing a high-level analysis of Hillsborough’s evacuation practices today. The study will evaluate best practices in evacuation regionally and nationally, assess potential evacuation enhancement options in Hillsborough County, and develop a set of recommendations and next steps for the Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization and other agencies to consider supporting emergency evacuations in Hillsborough County. The overall goal of this study is to assess and identify potential strategies to improve evacuation procedures without undertaking expensive road widening projects. More information including sign-up for the August 25 open house can be found at Storm Evacuation Forecast & Shelter-in-place Scenarios Study | Plan Hillsborough.

Board & Committee Agenda Item

Agenda Item Smart Cities Mobility Plan Update Presenter Johnny Wong, TPO Staff Summary The Smart Cities Mobility Plan represents an evolution of the 2013 Intelligent Transportation Systems Plan Update. The Smart Cities Mobility Plan will include several new features to meet the needs of planners and traffic operations teams across Hillsborough County. Chief among these new features is a prioritization matrix, which may resolve a gap in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) ranking methodology. The new prioritization matrix may allow non-traditional, Smart Cities projects to be ranked and compared both against one another and against traditional project types. Staff will provide a brief status update on the Smart Cities Mobility Plan and will seek feedback on the proposed methodology for integrating non-traditional projects into the TIP priority list. More information can be found at Smart Cities Mobility Plan. Recommended Action None. For Information Only. Prepared By Johnny Wong, PhD, TPO Staff Attachments 1. Prioritization Matrix Presentation

USF-Green ARTery Trail Study

Presenter:

Wade Reynolds, TPO staff

Summary:

The USF-Green ARTery trail study is evaluating conceptual and new connections from the University area to the existing and proposed trail system in Tampa and Hillsborough County. With the redevelopment of the University Mall (RITHYM), expansion of the Veterans Administration, and continuing growth around the University of South Florida, safe nonmotorized spaces are an increasing priority. The study area contains several high-volume roadways, and safe crossings and connections are a primary consideration. The study kicked off in March and is exploring the feasibility of a trail connecting the University of South Florida (USF) and Veterans Hospital with the planned Green ARTery Perimeter Trail and other neighborhoods to the south of Fowler; including proposed safe crossing locations on Fowler and other roadways. This study focuses on the potential alignments for the trail, in coordination with area property owners and agency partners. Recommended Action:

None, for information only
