Introduction The Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011-2014 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the East Central Intergovernmental Association Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) is a four year listing of federal aid eligible transportation projects selected by the various governmental agencies and by Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) Policy Board for implementation. All transportation projects in the RPA Region using federal funds are to be included in the TIP. The TIP is prepared annually for the RPA Policy Board with input from the Technical Advisory Committee, Iowa Department of Transportation, and the general public. Prioritization of projects within a project year is determined by the implementing agencies. Prioritization of Long Range Transportation Plan projects on a year-to-year basis will be done by the RPA Policy Board in cooperation with the implementing agency. RPA Membership and Governance The East Central Intergovernmental Association Regional Planning Affiliation (RPA) membership is made up of 56 local cities and counties in a four county area in eastern Iowa. All member jurisdictions have signed a 28E agreement to conduct transportation planning and the programming of federal transportation funds as determined by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) area in greater Dubuque is excluded from the RPA because it is a separate transportation planning area. The DMATS region includes the Cities of Dubuque, Asbury, Sageville, Peosta, Centralia and Durango, as well as portions of Dubuque County. The ECIA RPA is staffed by the East Central Intergovernmental Association, which has no formal membership on either the RPA Policy Board or the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). At their request, the Iowa Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are only advisory members of the RPA Policy Board and Tech advisory committee. The 56 member local jurisdictions include four counties and four urban areas (population greater than 5,000). The four urban areas are the Cities of Clinton, DeWitt, Manchester, and Maquoketa. The total members of the ECIA RPA include:

RPA Organization and Management The East Central Intergovernmental Association Regional Planning Affiliation was established on February 2, 1994 through the adoption of Articles of Agreement by the participating organizations in the region. It is one of the 18 RPA's in the state that were formed as part of the Iowa Department of Transportation's implementation of Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), particularly in regard to meeting the statewide planning and programming aspects of the legislation. This cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing transportation planning process was established by an agreement between the state and local governments in compliance with the provisions of the ISTEA. The planning process is implemented through a committee structure. Committees forward their recommendations to the Policy Board for consideration and final action. At this time, the only standing committee is the Technical Advisory Committee, which was formed by the Policy Board at its first meeting on February 2, 1994. The Policy Board and Technical Advisory Committee's responsibilities are summarized below: RPA Policy Board The ECIA RPA is governed by a Board of twelve elected officials from the member jurisdictions. The Policy Board is responsible for establishing overall policy, making decisions related to transportation planning and project funding priorities, and monitoring the direction of studies of transportation conditions in the region. There is a Board member from each of the four counties, and a Board member from each of the four large urban areas. The remaining four Board members are from a non-urban city in each of the four counties which are elected by caucus every two years. RPA Policy Board:

RPA Overall Goal The Goal of the ECIA Regional Planning Affiliation is to further develop the transportation system with a vision toward improving safety, promoting economic development and improving the quality of life within the RPA Region with consideration being given to the various levels of political sub-divisions and to alternative forms of transportation such as transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. Major Projects and Concerns within the RPA Region 1. Implementation of the U.S. 30/67 Corridor Improvements in the City of Clinton. 2. To improve U.S. 30 to 4 lanes from DeWitt west to Mount Vernon. This entire route is now shown

in the state’s long range plan as a 4-lane roadway. 3. Mississippi River Trail.

Annual Transportation Improvement Program RPA staff, is required to develop a transportation improvement program for the Regional Planning Affiliation 8 (RPA 8) and is further required to provide citizens, affected public agencies, representatives of transportation agency employees, other affected employee representatives, private


providers of transportation, and other interested parties with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed program during the process. The TIP is to have a listing of projects that are scheduled to be carried out within a 4-year period of when they were initially adopted into the RPA 8 TIP. The TIP will include a financial explanation of the improvement projects that detail how each will be implemented as well as an indication of what public and private resources can be expected to be made available to complete the transportation improvement. Before the RPA 8 Policy Committee can approve any transportation improvement, it will provide citizens, affected public agencies, representatives of transportation agency employees, private providers of transportation, and other interested parties with reasonable notice of and an opportunity to comment on the proposed improvement. The TIP Process will include the following steps:

• RPA 8 staff will start developing the TIP in month of January following rules and regulations adopted by the Iowa DOT.

• After the draft TIP is finished, it will be released for a 30-day public review process in April. DMATS staff will inform the public of the draft TIP’s availability by sending notice to the organizations on the RPA 8 public participation process list and by publishing legal notices in local newspapers and ECIA website. Theses notices will be printed 4 -20 days before the scheduled meeting.

• The public hearing will be held with the RPA 8 Policy Board meeting in April. The meeting will be opened for public input during the process.

• After the final TIP is finished, it will be released for a 30-day public review process in June. RPA staff will inform the public of the final TIP’s availability by sending notice to the organizations on the RPA 8 public participation process list and by publishing legal notices in local newspapers and ECIA website. Theses notices will be printed 4 -20 days before the scheduled meeting.

• The public hearing will be held with the RPA 8 Policy Board meeting in May. The meeting will be opened for public input during the process.

The SAFETEA-LU President Bush signed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) bill, which provides funding for highways and transit programs. SAFETEA-LU builds on the initiatives in the Transportation Equity Act (TEA -21), which was the prior bill authorizing legislation for surface transportation. This act combines the continuation and improvement of TEA-21 programs with additional new initiatives to meet the challenges of improving safety as traffic continues to increase at record levels, protecting and enhancing communities and the natural environment. SAFETEA-LU consolidates the previous sixteen planning factors to be considered in the planning process into seven broad areas: • Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global

competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency; • Increase safety of the transportation system for the motorized and non-motorized users;


• Increase security of the transportation system for the motorized and non-motorized users; • Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and freight; • Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life; • Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes,

for people and freight; • Promote efficient system management and operation; and • Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.

Operations & Maintenance (O&M) The result of major oversight nationally has lead to the requirement to include operations and maintenance/management costs of all federal-aid system routes and transit facilities in the STIPs, TIPs, and LRTPs. The Iowa FHWA asked MPOs and RPAs in Iowa to report O&M costs as system-wide totals for operations and maintenance (highways) and operations and maintenance (transit facilities).* This would encompass all the federal aid system routes, transit facilities, and the local systems for your jurisdictions. A majority of the local O&M revenue data should be available from the road use tax finance reports that cities and counties submit to the Iowa DOT.

Fund Availability Iowa STP Program

Adopted STP Fund Distribution System At the October 19, 1999 meeting, the RPA Policy Board adopted a distribution system for uncommitted STP funds. In this system, the funds are distributed by a sub-allocation process. Each jurisdiction’s share of the funds will be determined by the Census population. The cities of Clinton, Manchester, Maquoketa and Dewitt will receive a share based on the population within the incorporated limits of the city. The four counties will each receive a share based on the population of the unincorporated area plus the population of all cities in the county under 5,000 population. Jurisdictions eligible for STP funds that do not receive a sub-allocation will have the opportunity to request funding from the county as follows: 1. Cities below 5,000 population, transit agencies, and the Iowa DOT can request funds from the four

counties. 2. Transit agencies providing service within cities greater than 5,000 in population and the Iowa DOT

can request funds from the cities over 5,000 population. Based on this distribution system, the eight eligible jurisdictions would receive the following shares of uncommitted STP funds:

Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program At the October 19, 1999 meeting, the RPA Policy Board adopted a procedure for the funding of the RPA’s TE funds. In this system, funds are to be awarded by a competitive process. The ECIA staff distributes a letter of solicitation to all RPA member governments and County Conservation Boards. Applications are then mailed to the entities. ECIA staff performs the initial scoring based on criteria, which is then reviewed by the RPA Technical Advisory Committee (Appendix D). The Technical Advisory Committee then makes their recommendations to the RPA Policy Board. The Policy Board then holds a public hearing in which comments from the public are heard concerning the applications. After the public hearing, the Policy Board then awards funds to the projects they deem to be most worthy. ECIA programs these funds for the four-year period of the TIP based upon funding targets from the Iowa DOT and projected funding levels. Applications are limited in amount by a minimum funding request of $50,000 and a maximum of $250,000.

Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program The Federal Bridge Replacement (BR) program is divided among three different governmental levels in the State of Iowa: the State, counties, and cities. About 42% of the funds go to State bridges, another 47% to the 99 counties, and the remaining 11% are distributed to cities.


County Bridge Program County bridges are eligible for the BR program based on their service level. For bridge replacement, a bridge must have a Federal Bridge Sufficiency rating (FBS) less than 50 , an average daily traffic (ADT) of 25 or more vehicles, and be rated as structurally deficient (SD) or functionally obsolete (FO). For bridge rehabilitation, a bridge must have an FBS of only 80 or less, an ADT of 25 or more vehicles, and be rated as SD or FO. Counties BR funds are distributed to the counties based on one-third of the Road Use Tax (RUT) distribution and two-thirds on the amount of qualifying square feet of bridges. As funds permit, the Iowa DOT allows counties to borrow up to six years of their average annual allocation. City Bridge Program The City Bridge program does not automatically distribute bridge funds to cities. Rather the funds are distributed based on a combination of several factors including Sufficiency Rating, Average Daily Traffic (ADT), Detour considerations, and Bridge Posting. All applications for city bridge fund projects are ranked by a scoring system statewide. Cities should apply for this funding to get their bridge projects ranked and funded.

RPA 8 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM Accommodation: Meetings, public hearings, and ECIA formal events are held in facilities that are accessible by persons with disabilities. Public notices of ECIA meetings and events include a notice of location for public. Individuals with disabilities will be provided with accommodations to attend the meetings on request with a minimum of one weeks notice. Individuals requiring special material or presentation formats will be asked to contact the staff at least one week before the meeting.

Revising/Amending an Approved TIP Revising the TIP Revisions are defined as changes to a TIP that occur between scheduled periodic updates. There are two types of changes that occur under the umbrella of revision. The first is a major revision or “Amendment”. The second is a minor revision or Administrative Modification”. Amendment An amendment is a revision to a TIP that involves a major change to a project included in the TIP. This includes an addition or deletion of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or scope (e.g. changing project termini or the number of through lanes). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment, redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination. Changes that affect fiscal constraint must take place by amendment of the TIP. Administrative Modification A minor revision to a TIP is an administrative modification. It includes minor changes/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously-included projects, and minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require public review and comment or redemonstration of fiscal constraint, Amendment vs. Administrative Modification There are four main components that can be used to determine whether a project change constitutes an amendment or an administrative modification. They include the following:

• Project costs-Determination will be made based on the percentage change or dollar amount of change in federal aid. Projects in which the federal aid has been changed by more than 30% or total federal aid increases by $2.0 million or more will require an amendment. Anything less can be processed with an administrative modification.

• Schedule changes-Changes in schedules to projects which are included in the first four years of

the TIP/STIP will be considered administrative modifications. Projects which are added or deleted from the TIP/STIP will be processed as amendments.


• Funding sources-Additional federal funding sources to a project will require an amendment.

Changes to funding from one source to another will require an administrative modification.

• Scope changes-Changing project termini or changing the amount of through traffic lanes will be processed as an amendment. Other examples of changes that require amendment are changing the type of work from an overlay to reconstruction. Another example is changing a project to include widening of the roadway.
