2.E RECOMMENDED ADOPTION: Amendment #8 to the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Cost Feasible Plan to change the following projects:
1. Turnpike Mainline from Broward/Palm Beach County Line to Boynton Beach Boulevard (MP 86) from “Widen 6L to 8L” to “Widen 6L to 10L with express lanes”. Cost increase from $297.8 million to $871 million.
2. Turnpike Mainline from Boynton Beach Boulevard (MP 86) to Beeline Highway/SR-710 (MP 106.1) from “Widen 4L to 6L” to “Widen 4L to 8L with express lanes”. Cost increase from $571.1 million to $672 million.
3. Turnpike Mainline from Beeline Highway/SR-710 (MP 106.1) to Indiantown Road (MP 117) from “Widen 4L to 6L” to “Widen 4L to 8L”. Total construction cost is $354 million.
MR. SABIN inquired about the bicycle and pedestrian facilities being impacted by Turnpike projects, and if these facilities are considered when designing the overpasses.
A discussion ensued regarding the timing of these projects, if the pedestrian and bicycle facilities from the east and west connections across the Turnpike are being addressed during construction.
The committee members expressed concerns about the double tolling, proposed tolling, and increase in proposed lanes. The committee requested further explanation for the addition of the toll lanes opposed to the general purpose lanes.
TPA staff outlined the dynamic pricing structure and the Turnpike proposed tolling plan.
There was discussion regarding how the widening will affect the older residents of the county and how the Turnpike will transform into Interstate 95 with managed lanes. Further discussion proceeded about the high-speed rail and Tri-Rail as a substitute for overcrowding on the freeway.
CHAIR TRIBOU raised her concerns about the double toll and equity issue that it presents. She noted that while wealthier members of the community could afford to use these lanes, the rest of the population has no choice but to be stuck in traffic. She stated that she would like to see the funds raised from the tolling system more evenly distributed among all modes of transportation.
MOTION to Recommend Adoption of Amendment #8 to the 2040 LRTP Cost Feasible Plan with the following recommendations: consider east/west trail connections under Turnpike S. of Indiantown Road, a trail connection on the South-side of Beeline Highway under the new and wider Turnpike bridge, with a new trail connection under the Turnpike South of Beeline highway; to include premium pedestrian and bicycle facilities per Complete Streets (CS) guidelines at all roadway crossings interchanging with Turnpike; and to address concerns about safety issues with regard to higher speeds associated with widened roads and potential to limit usefulness of the corridor with regard to the mobility of older drivers

Performance Measures Target Setting
Pursuant to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) Act enacted in 2012 and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) enacted in 2015, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA must apply a transportation performance management approach in carrying out their federally required transportation planning and programming activities. The process requires the establishment and use of a coordinated, performance-based approach to transportation decision-making to support national goals for the federal-aid highway and public transportation programs.
Below are the federal performance measures requiring FDOT and Palm Beach TPA targets. MPOs must set 2 and 4-year targets for System Performance, Bridge Condition, and Pavement Condition. MPOs can either agree to program projects that will support the statewide targets, or set their own quantifiable targets for the MPO’s planning area.
Performance Measures TPA Targets Safety Fatalities
Serious Injuries Rate of Serious Injuries per 100M VMT Rate of Fatalities per 100M VMT Nonmotorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries
Zero for 2018 Zero for 2018 Zero for 2018 Zero for 2018 Zero for 2018
System Performance
Percent of person-miles on the Interstate system that are reliable Percent of person-miles on the non-Interstate NHS that are reliable Truck Travel Time Reliability index on the Interstate
Action Item Requires 2/4-year target (12/31/21)
Bridges Percent of NHS bridges by deck area in good condition Percent of NHS bridges by deck area in poor condition
Action Item Requires 2/4-year target (12/31/21)
Pavement Percent of Interstate pavements in good condition Percent of Interstate pavements in poor condition Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in good condition Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in poor condition Percent of NHS bridges by deck area in good condition Percent of NHS bridges by deck area in poor condition
Action Item Requires 2/4-year target (12/31/21)
The following sections on System Performance, Bridge Condition, and Pavement Condition performance measures provide information to assess potential 2-year and 4-year targets. These three sections cover performance of the National Highway System (NHS) [see NHS map on next page] and do not include other State Highway System or other federal-aid eligible facilities that may be of interest to the TPA. Additional performance measures covering these networks are being researched for inclusion in the update of the TPA’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
10
11
Pavement and Bridge Condition Measures (PM2)
Statewide and Palm Beach County baseline system conditions for each performance measure are included in the table below. The latest conditions will be updated on a biannual basis to track performance over time in relation to baseline conditions and established targets. Also included are the State’s adopted 2-year and 4-year targets. TPA staff recommends the adoption of FDOT’s statewide targets, for the following reasons:
• FDOT already manages the asset management inventory of NHS as well as State Highway System (SHS) facilities. FDOT develops the official Asset Management Plan for the state, which includes NHS pavement and bridge assets;
• FDOT already manages the programming of maintenance funds; • The amount of data available to the TPA is limited in making a different recommendation.
The TPA can continue to track the performance of the system, provide input into the programming of maintenance funds, and, if necessary, prioritize Surface Transportation funds through the Local Initiatives program towards the maintenance of infrastructure.

Pavement Condition Analysis The asset management inventory of pavement and bridges is maintained by FDOT. The criteria used to evaluate asset condition was standardized across the United States and is reported from the States back to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Five pavement metrics are used to assess condition: International Roughness Index (IRI); Cracking Percent; Rutting; Faulting; and a Present Serviceability Rating (PSR) for lower speed roads. Ratings are provided on a scale of good, fair, or poor for the above metrics (which metrics apply varies based on the type of pavement). Historical trends of the data was not provided to TPA staff. However, the two tables below provide a comparison of 2017 data for all MPOs in the state. 2017 Interstate NHS Pavement Condition by MPO

Bridge Condition Analysis The bridge measure assesses the condition of a bridge’s deck, superstructure, substructure, and culverts. The final grade of the bridge is based on the lowest rating. Good condition suggests that no major investment is needed, and poor condition suggests major reconstruction investment is needed. There are 254 total bridges on the NHS system in Palm Beach County, with 37 maintained by the county. To note: the one FDOT bridge ranked “Poor” is programmed for replacement in FY 2024 (US-1/Fed Hwy from CR-A1A to Beach Rd). NHS Bridges in Palm Beach County by Rating and Facility Owner

System Performance, Freight, and Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program Measures (PM3)
The System Performance/Freight/CMAQ Performance Measures Final Rule (aka PM3) assesses passenger and freight performance on the Interstate and non-Interstate National Highway System (NHS), and traffic congestion and on-road mobile source emissions in areas that do not meet federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Florida is not required to establish targets for 4-6 because all areas meet current NAAQS. The rule requires the TPA targets for the following three measures (those not required are shown for informational purposes).
1. Percent of person-miles on the Interstate system that are reliable, also referred to as Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR);
2. Percent of person-miles on the non-Interstate NHS that are reliable (LOTTR);
3. Truck Travel Time Reliability index on the Interstate (TTTR);
4. Annual hours of peak hour excessive delay per capita [NOT REQUIRED FOR FL];
5. Percent of non-single occupant vehicle travel (Non-SOV) [NOT REQUIRED FOR FL]; and
6. Total emissions reduction of on-road mobile source emissions [NOT REQUIRED FOR FL].
Statewide and Palm Beach County baseline system conditions for each performance measure are included in the table below. The latest conditions will be updated on a biannual basis to track performance over time in relation to baseline conditions and established targets. Also included are the State’s adopted 2-year and 4-year targets. TPA staff recommends the adoption of FDOT’s statewide targets, for the following reasons:
• Erratic changes in the observed trends due to a changing source of federally provided data limit the ability to establish in-house targets that are more realistic than FDOT’s.
• State prioritizes Interstate and many NHS projects through the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) plans.
• Current policy limits the ability for TPA to prioritize funding differently than what is in place through the State’s SIS plans.

System Performance Analysis Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) seeks to measure how dependable a trip is to arrive on time as planned. The measure creates a ratio that compares the worst travel times on a road against the travel time that is typically experienced. Road miles with a LOTTR less than 1.5 are considered reliable, meaning the trip is considered reliable if it takes no longer than 50% more time over a typical trip experience. Traffic volume and an average vehicle occupancy are factored in to determine the person miles that are reliable, and this is converted to a percent of total miles. Truck Travel Time Reliability uses the same type of ratio but does not equate the ratio into total miles of segment.
The System Performance measures are expected to worsen in the coming years, especially for the larger urbanized areas, with the increasing amount of traffic on the system. The following tables provide the trends of these measures overtime for Florida’s MPOs.

STATEWIDE TARGETS FDOT established 2- and 4-year targets on May 18, 2018 for the full extent of the NHS in Florida. Two-year targets reflect the anticipated performance level at the mid point of each performance period, while 4-year targets reflect it for the end of the performance period. FDOT is also responsible for developing an Asset Management Plan, intended to manage NHS pavement and bridge assets.

MPO TARGETSIf a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) decides to establish its own target, it has 180 days after FDOT sets its 4-year statewide targets. This means that MPOs would need to report their bridge and pavement targets no later than November 14, 2018 for the first performance period. For the second performance period and onwards, MPO targets would be reported every 4 years starting on April 1, 2023.

ASSESSMENT OF SIGNIFICANT PROGRESSOn August 16, 2020 and every two years thereafter, FHWA will determine that FDOT has made significant progress toward the achievement of each 2-year or 4-year applicable statewide target if either:
If FDOT does not make significant progress, it must document the actions it will take to achieve the target. FHWA will not directly assess MPO progress toward meeting their targets. Rather, it will do so though the periodic transportation planning reviews, including the MPO certification reviews and reviews of adopted/amended LRTPs and TIPs.
MINIMUM CONDITIONSEvery year, FHWA will assess if FDOT is meeting the state-wide minimum condition requirements. If it is not, FDOT must obligate funds to meet minimum requirements.
» Pavement: No more than 5 percent of theInterstate System in Poor condition formost recent year.
» Bridge: No more than 10 percent of totaldeck area of NHS bridges classified asStructurally Deficient (Poor condition) forthree consecutive years.

MAP-21 Performance Management June 2018
The third of the three performance measures rules issued by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) became effective on May 20, 2017, establishing measures to assess the performance of the National Highway System (NHS), freight movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). This fact sheet summarizes the requirements of this rule and the targets that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) selected to meet them.*
Performance Measure Typically Referred to As What It Measures
Percent of Person-Miles Traveled on the Interstate that Are Reliable
Interstate Reliability Seeks to assess how reliable the NHS network is by
creating a ratio (called level of travel time reliability, or
LOTTR) that compares the worst travel times on a road
against the travel time that is typically experienced. Road
miles with a LOTTR less than 1.5 are considered reliable.
Traffic volume and an average vehicle occupancy are
factored in to determine the person miles that are reliable,
and this is converted to a percent of total miles.
Percent of Person-Miles Traveled on the Non- Interstate NHS that Are Reliable
Non-Interstate Reliability
Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) Index
Freight Reliability Seeks to assess how reliable the interstate network is
for trucks by creating a ratio (called Truck Travel Time
Reliability, or TTTR) that compares the very worst travel
times for trucks against the travel time they typically
experience.
This rule also contains measures addressing the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. These are applicable only for areas that are designated as nonattainment or maintenance, of which Florida currently has none. Therefore, they are currently not applicable to Florida or any of its Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs).

If FDOT does not make significant progress for the Interstate and Non-Interstate reliability measures, it must document the actions it will take to achieve the target. For the freight reliabil-ity measure, it must provide additional documentation. FHWA will not directly assess MPO progress toward meeting their targets. Rather, it will do so though the periodic transportation planning reviews, including the MPO certification reviews and reviews of adopted/amended LRTPs and TIPs.

2019 Local Initiatives and Transportation Alternatives Policy Guidance Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency
TPA Policy Guidance for Local Initiatives and Transportation Alternatives
TPA staff is creating more in-depth policy guidance on the programming of Local Initiatives and Transportation Alternatives funds. It can be difficult to navigate the multiple policy decisions of federal, state, and TPA operating procedures. The guidance document is meant to alleviate confusion on what is and isn’t allowable through the funding programs. The list below are current items being researched. If additional items should be considered, please let staff know to include into the final version for December.
Federally eligible expenses • Replacement of existing facilities
o Sidewalks • Funding for design • Funding of CEI phase • Landscaping – currently not allowable under FDOT direction
o Make allowable with cap on amount for reimbursement? o Agreements on ongoing maintenance/upkeep o Irrigation Systems
• Lighting o Pedestrian o Vehicle o Approved products list
• New roadway construction
Administering projects
• FDOT does not administer TA projects • FDOT administering LI will depend on their work load and could push the project out
another year or two. Design may start in the 5th year.
Submittal process
• Who is allowed to sign and seal forms
Cost estimate increases and amount programmed
• Increases in cost estimates o Cost estimate increase in review stage – available for minor scope changes o Cost estimate increase during design and construction
Small fluctuations v big fluctuations • Official time for when funding can be considered “awarded”

Palm Beach TPA Office 2300 N Jog Road, 4th Floor
West Palm Beach, Florida 33411 _________________________________________________________________________________
PDF versions of the agenda, backup material and presentations as well as audio recordings are available for review at www.PalmBeachTPA.org/Meeting
Review the Committee’s Charge
Mr. Nick Uhren stated that the committee is to evaluate the TPA’s performance in FY 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018). After which the committee will provide feedback on focusing the TPA’s priorities for FY 2019 (July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019).
Evaluate the TPA’s FY 2018 Performance
Mr. Uhren highlighted the following updates from the FY 2018 Report Card:
• Goal 1: Administer the Agency
o Proud of the TPA Board member attendance at the MPOAC Institute trainings.
o TPA meetings at alternate sites has not affected attendance and it gives members a chance to visit other municipalities.
o Tracking spending consistent with the budget.
o Conducting staff training as well as updating the Strategic Plan.
The committee requested the continued practice of sending Board members to the MPOAC Institute trainings and noted staff should emphasize this more as it is a vital resource. Additionally, the committee stated that hosting another local MPOAC training was not cost effective.
• Goal 2: Engage the Public
o Completed rebranding of the TPA in December 2017.
o Hosted the Regional Safe Street Summit in February 2018.
o Conducted Bike to Work Ride in March 2018.
A discussion ensued on the Bike to Work Ride details for attendance and outreach, and the municipally led bike rodeos.
• Goal 3: Plan the System
o Focused on commencing multimodal corridor studies without designating the locations so the TPA staff can adapt to the priorities of the Board.
o Commenced studies on Forest Hill Boulevard and Lake Worth Road in February 2018.
o List of multimodal corridors is still in process as it is in conjunction with Palm
37
TPA STRATEGIC PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING PAGE 2
Tran’s Route Performance Maximization (RPM) in the hopes the RPM would identify corridors for greater investment.
A discussion ensued on the criteria for identifying corridors to prioritize, the “First Mile, Last Mile” initiatives as well as park & ride lots.
• Goal 4: Prioritize Funding
o The approved development map is still in process. The TPA is working with the County to have an easy to use online map that allows users to select a project boundary to identify the project status of approval and construction.
o The performance measure targets are still in process with the goal to evaluate the financial implications of the different kinds of targets chosen. In addition to the safety targets, the TPA will need to choose targets for bridge state of good repair, pavement condition, and transit asset management.
A discussion ensued on the transit asset management targets and the goal to get access to safety funds.
Mr. Uhren noted that the County’s Infrastructure Surtax project list has around $14M to reconstruct Australian Avenue in FY 2023/2024 to address the drainage and reconstruct the road to improve safety.
• Goal 5: Implement Projects
o Facilitated submittal of a Rail Safety Infrastructure Grant to the Federal Rail Administration in conjunction with Brightline, all of the South Florida MPOs as well as counties and municipalities. Asking for about $5M for installation of additional gates at some crossings that did not get them in the initial stage as well as dynamic message signs. These funds are above and beyond what the TPA has given to Brightline for safety improvements along the various crossings.
A discussion ensued on the County spending funds for new culverts in preparation to expand roadways from 2-lanes to 4-lanes, and Dixie Highway’s layout as it relates to curb cuts.
• Goal 6: Collaborate with Partners
o TPA Board approval for a preferred alternative to the existing Road Impact Fee system, as the current practice allows for the funds to be spent only on projects that create additional capacity for cars.
A discussion ensued on the City of West Palm Beach’s mobility study and Road Impact Fee.
o Created proposed typicals for resurfacing projects.
o Completed the TPA Complete Streets Design Guidelines with a note the County has updated their typical sections to be multimodal focused.
o Providing ADA workshops is in process.
Motion to Recommend Approval of the TPA’s FY 2019 Strategic Plan
Mr. Uhren reviewed the focus for the FY 2019 priorities of updating the document to reflect the new branding and reorder the goal consistent with the adopted Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP).
Mr. Uhren highlighted the objectives that are new or changing as outlined in the PowerPoint presentation provided in the agenda backup.
A discussion ensued following review of each goal.

The vision of a safe, efficient, and connected multimodal transportation system inspires the TPA's mission to collaboratively plan, prioritize, and fund transportation. The Strategic Plan defines specific, incremental steps that will be initiated, monitored for timely progress, and annually reported to the TPA Governing Board and the public.
Six goals, aligned with the TPA's Unified
Planning Work Program,
frame the approach to achieving the Strategic
Plan and provide clarity of purpose and
direction.
