B. Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP) Urbanized Area Endorsement Grants – Rita Black 31 CUUATS in conjunction with the Social Service Division of CCRPC would like to submit a grant 32 application for the Small Urban New Freedom program. The application proposes to install ramps 33 and/or sidewalks so disabled persons can access the entryways of their homes from the location 34 where the paratransit vehicles drop them off. This grant opportunity is offered through IDOT’s 35 Division of Public & Intermodal Transportation. 36 37 Mr. White moved to endorse the Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP) Urbanized Area 38 Grant. Mr. Helton seconded. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously. 39 40 Mr. White asked if this grant requires a local match. Ms. Black responded that the match will be 41 paid from CCRPC Social Services Division. 42 43

C. Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 2035: Choices – 2011 Report Card – Preeti Shankar 44 Ms. Shankar gave a brief summary of the LRTP 2011 Report Card. 45 Positive Ratings: 46

• Increase in gross residential density 47 • Increase in roadway mileage and improved roadways 48 • Decrease in total number of traffic crashes 49 • Decrease in pedestrian and bicycle crashes 50 • Increase bicycle facilities 51 • Increase in MTD ridership and parcels served near bus routes 52 • Increase in Amtrak ridership 53

54


Neutral Ratings: 1 • Decrease in agricultural land from 2009-11 but data inconsistencies warrant a neutral 2

rating 3 Negative Ratings: 4

• Increase in the 2011 8-hour ozone level which is above allowable standards 5 • Increase in total fatalities and severe “type A injuries from crashes 6 • Decrease in Willard Airport enplanements 7

8 Mr. Gray commented on the encouraging 21% increase for bicycle facilities which will flatten out in 9 5-10 years when Urbana has implemented the majority of the Urbana Bicycle Master Plan. Ms. 10 Black noted that the update of the LRTP in 2014 is in progress and the 11 goals/objectives/performance indicators that were used for the LRTP in 2009 can be modified by 12 the LRTP Steering Committee. This LRTP Report Card is helpful to identify problem areas and focus 13 on improving them. The next annual report card will be available for Committee review in April 14 2013 to allow for the collection of year-end data. 15 16

VII. Old Business 17 A. Committees and Working Groups 18

19 1. CATS III Technical/Policy Committees – Bill Gray 20

One hour ago, the CATS Policy Committee approved a Complete Streets Policy for the 21 University District. Staff presented the progress of the University District Traffic Circulation 22 Study. The Policy Committee approved the University District Crosswalk Book. 23 24

2. Champaign County Transit Partnership Group (CCTPG) – Rita Black 25 CCTPG is a subcommittee of the Champaign County Board that is facilitated by CUUATS staff. 26 CRIS Rural Transit has been providing service in the Rantoul area since February 2011, and 27 ridership has consistently increased. Staff is working with CRIS to submit an IDOT grant through 28 the Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) program to provide funding for the route from Rantoul 29 to Parkland College, the University of Illinois and C-U hospitals. Staff is also exploring grant 30 possibilities to extend the service to St. Joseph with additional vehicles. 31 32

3. Olympian Drive – Bill Gray 33 The environmental phase of the design is on-going along the corridor. Urbana and Champaign 34 County have petitioned the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) for approval of the bridge over 35 the Canadian National tracks and funding. There is no date yet for the final hearing before the 36 ICC. Review appraisals have been completed. Discussions for right-of-way acquisitions with 37 property owners have started. 38 39

4. miPLAN – Cynthia Hoyle 40 Efforts are focused on the Very Small Starts grant application to improve specific transit 41 corridors. CUUATS staff will run scenarios with models in July or August. 42 43

B. Agency Reports 44 45

1. City of Champaign – Roland White 46 Bids will open in March for a mill/patch/overlay project on Mattis Avenue between Springfield 47 Avenue and Bloomington Road. Some complete streets elements will be added as funding 48 allows. 49 50 Fourth Street Extension project on campus is on schedule. The final plan was submitted to 51 IDOT. The project should be let in early May with construction beginning this summer. The 52 Market Street project from I-74 to the north end of Market Place Mall, an IDOT jurisdictional 53 transfer to Champaign, is at the conceptual study phase with a possible road diet. Mr. White 54


anticipates that the design will be completed this winter and bid early in 2013. Towncenter 1 Boulevard and Moreland Boulevard traffic signal project will be constructed this summer. The 2 Champaign City Council adopted a 4¢ per gallon local motor fuel tax which is expected to 3 generate $1.5 million annually. The current plan is to use $1 million for arterial and complete 4 streets projects and $500,000 for reconstruction projects. 5 6

2. City of Urbana – Bill Gray 7 The Boneyard Creek Improvement Project should begin construction in the fall with road 8 upgrades on Race Street from Griggs Street to University Avenue and Broadway Avenue from 9 Water Street to University Avenue. The High Cross Road side path construction should begin 10 soon from Windsor Road to Village Inn Pizza. UC2B is about 50% complete in construction. 11 12 The Main Street Project has street and safety improvements between Cedar Street to Vine 13 Street and Grove Street to Dewey Street. This project has a tentative start date in late 14 summer/fall. The consultant continues to update the location study for Lincoln Avenue 15 between Saline Court and Olympian Drive. Urbana is talking to landowners for right-of-way 16 acquisition to proceed with the Airport Road reconstruction east of US-45. The design is 17 complete for the Philo Road reconstruction south of Windsor Road. This project should be bid 18 in April. 19 20 At the intersection of Philo Road/Florida Avenue, the Urbana City Council has directed city staff 21 to not proceed with a roundabout at this time, and instead upgrade the signals. At Windsor 22 Road/Race Street, a potential roundabout is on hold, and the all-way stop will remain. Urbana 23 staff will look at the feasibility of a single-lane roundabout or a possible road diet at Race 24 Street/Windsor Road and report back to City Council. Urbana intends to develop a roundabout 25 policy to provide better guidance when examining intersection upgrades. It may be that the 26 other member agencies and CUUATS would be willing to consider a similar roundabout policy 27 for a more regional approach. 28 29 Urbana City Council is considering a storm water utility fee in the coming months to provide 30 funding for road improvements. Resurfacing of Washington Street between Philo Road and 31 Dodson Drive should occur later this year. The Signage & Wayfinding Phase 1 project should be 32 completed next month which will update signage to direct drivers to parking lots in downtown 33 Urbana. The signs are designed with a new logo and will be lit at night utilizing LED lighting and 34 solar power. 35 36 With grant money, Urbana intends to design/reconstruct the intersection at Green Street and 37 Goodwin Avenue. Possible alternatives include a roundabout or replacement of the signal 38 equipment. Urbana received $200,000 Safe Routes to Schools grant to promote and improve 39 biking to Urbana Middle and King Elementary Schools. With TIF and Block Grant money, 40 Urbana will reconstruct Mathews Avenue from the tracks by Provena Covenant Medical Center 41 north to Ellis Drive either later this year or in 2013. 42 43

3. Village of Savoy – Dick Helton 44 In Savoy, the program is mostly street maintenance. Sidewalk work will occur on East Church 45 Street and in Prairie Fields Subdivision to facilitate walking and biking to the new school. 46 47

4. C-U Mass Transit District (MTD) – Bill Volk 48 MTD continues to refine the proposed grant application for the Very Small Starts Program. 49 Foth Engineering is developing the design for the following corridors: White Street from Second 50 Street to Wright Street; Wright Street from White Street to Armory Avenue to Fourth Street; 51 and Green Street from Wright Street to Lincoln Avenue. The design will include access to 52 bicycles and some transit exclusivity on those streets. 53 54


There is a campus referendum on March 6-7th to approve a fee increase to maintain existing 1 campus bus service, expand Safe Ride service during the semester breaks and add a vehicle on 2 Safe Rides for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights while school is in session. 3 4 New kiosks have been installed at Florida Avenue Residence Halls, Pennsylvania Avenue 5 Residence Halls, Ikenberry Commons, Goodwin Avenue and Wright Street Transit Plaza. 6 Additional kiosks will be located at the Illini Union and Engineering Hall. Ridership is expected 7 to reach 11 million by fiscal year-end for the first time in MTD history. The $60 annual passes 8 continue to be popular with a 30% increase in January and February from last year. 9 10

5. Champaign County – Pius Weibel 11 The County is working on many bridges and culverts this summer. The County will be 12 reconstructing the road through Foosland through a jurisdictional transfer. 13 14

6. University of Illinois – Morgan Johnston 15 St. Mary’s Road from Lincoln Avenue to Fourth Street will have the pavement upgraded and a 16 drainage gutter added this summer. Resurfacing projects include First Street from Kirby Avenue 17 to Peabody Drive and Dorner Drive north of Peabody Drive. Next summer, patching is planned 18 for Gregory Drive between Sixth Street and Fourth Street. 19 20 Other University projects are planned: 21

• Gregory Drive between First Street & Oak Street – reconstruction 22 • Sixth Street between Armory Avenue & Gregory Avenue – intersection improvements 23

for pedestrian safety 24 • Stadium Drive west of Oak Street to Neil Street – reconstruction 25 • Fourth Street between Armory Avenue & Kirby Avenue – pavement upgrade and road 26

improvements 27 • Springfield Avenue by the Grainger Crosswalk - improvements 28

29 Mr. Weibel asked if a stop sign is planned for the intersection of Fourth Street and St. Mary’s 30 Road. Mr. White commented that the situation will be corrected this summer by the Fourth 31 Street Extension Project. 32 33

7. Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) – Rita Black 34 The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and the Illinois Transportation Enhancement 35 Program (ITEP) grant applications must be reviewed by the MPO staff two to three weeks 36 before the submission deadline to IDOT. 37 38 Three CUUATS staff members had abstracts selected for presentation at the Tools of the Trade 39 Conference sponsored by the Transportation Research Board (TBR) in September. 40 41

8. IDOT District 5 – Robert Nelson 42 Construction projects in the area include: 43

• Rubblization/overlay of the southbound lanes of I-57 south of Olympian Drive to two 44 miles south of Thomasboro – start after April 2nd 45

• Bridge deck repair on Kirby Avenue overpass on I-57 – let not yet been awarded – 46 completion date August 3rd 47

• Intersection improvement US-150 at Springfield Avenue/Prospect Avenue – work begin 48 this spring – contract to be finished in 30 working days 49

March Letting 50 • I-74 median cable installation from High Cross Road east to County Highway 24 in 51

Mayview – recently extended to County Highway 12 in St. Joseph 52 April Letting 53

• SMART resurfacing on Market Street from north of I-57 to Ford Harris Road 54


Mr. White inquired why the Mattis Avenue project has been pulled from IDOT’s construction 1 schedule for 2012. Mr. Nelson deferred the question to Mr. Markwell or Mr. Crowe at IDOT. 2 Mr. White has heard that IDOT’s Multi-Year Plan is facing catastrophic cuts – over 50% – which 3 will be presented in April. While nothing has been officially stated, Mr. White thought the 4 governor will eventually comment on this situation. 5 6

9. IDOT Central Office – Tom Caldwell 7 No word yet on the allocation of planning funds for MPOs next year. As soon as the numbers 8 are established, letters will be forthcoming. 9 10

10. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 11 No report 12 13

C. Announcements 14 None 15 16

VIII. Audience Participation 17 Gary Cziko of Urbana 18

Concerning the LRTP 2011 Report Card, while the news was mostly good, Mr. Cziko noted the failing 19 ratings on ozone, serious injuries and fatalities from traffic crashes. When examining the University 20 District Traffic Circulation Study, some of the intersections had failing levels of service. In traffic 21 engineering, there is often a trade-off between level of service/convenience and safety. If you make 22 things faster, you get a better level of service but safety decreases. 23 24 There is a proven safety countermeasure that not only increases safety but improves sustainability in 25 terms of emission and increases the levels of service – roundabouts. Mr. Cziko is pleased that the 26 Urbana City Council has directed staff to come up with a policy so that roundabouts can be looked at 27 seriously. Mr. Cziko agreed with Mr. Gray that a roundabout policy would be good for CUUATS to look 28 at. In other communities where they instituted roundabout policies, roundabouts just start spreading. 29 Mr. Cziko recently met an engineer from Robinson Engineering whose firm designed the first 30 roundabout in Cook County in South Holland, Illinois. Initially the roundabout was met with much 31 protest and controversy and over the last three years, there has been only one fender-bender at that 32 location. Two or three more are being designed in the same area. Mr. Cziko looked forward to Urbana, 33 Champaign and CUUATS moving ahead with a roundabout policy. 34 35

IX. Adjournment 36 There being no further business, Mr. Helton moved to adjourn. Mr. Dempsey seconded. Upon 37 vote, the motion carried unanimously. Ms. Prussing adjourned the meeting at 11:25 a.m. 38

TO: CUUATS Policy Committee Members FROM: CUUATS Staff DATE: 11 April 2012 RE: FY 2012-2015 Transportation Improvement Program Administrative Modification BACKGROUND: The Illinois Department of Transportation has submitted an administrative modification to Table 1: FY 12 State HIP Projects. The following describes the modification: HSIP 12 In Table 1, the end termini of the I-74 project changed to CH 12 at St. Joseph from CH 24 N of

Mayview. This meets the administrative modification criteria as the modification does not change the project’s intended nature or cost.

No action is required.

TO: CUUATS Policy Committee Members FROM: CUUATS Staff DATE: 11 April 2012 RE: SWANN Consolidated Vehicle Procurement (CVP) for the Older Americans Act (Section 5310) CY 2012 Grant Application REQUESTED ACTION: Review & Discuss – Endorsement of grant application for Urbanized Area HSTP BACKGROUND: IDOT-DPIT’s CVP (CY12) provides an opportunity for human service agencies with client transportation to replace aging vehicles. Major requirements for replacement of the vehicle are 1) meeting mileage or aging criteria; 2) receive a public transit operator support; and 3) to receive an endorsement from the MPO (as an urbanized application). SWANN is applying to replace a 1992 Dodge, medium duty vehicle (206,155 miles) with a 14-Passenger Medium Duty Paratransit Vehicle with lift at $63,000. The federal share is at 80% ($50,400). The local share is at 20% ($12,600). IDOT can choose to utilize an Illinois’ bond to cover the remaining local match (a past common practice) or IDOT can request the applicant, upon award, to cover the local share necessary. See attached the application with SWANN’s service description and information regarding their Champaign-Urbana transportation for children and adults with multiple, severe, and profound developmental disabilities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Endorse the grant application, as we have received a verbal agreement from SWANN during the technical committee to complete the following:

1. Provide maintenance record examples and transportation policy copies stated in the grant application; 2. Participate in HSTP coordination meetings in the upcoming year; 3. Fill out all data requests for the urbanized area HSTP update; and 4. Seek additional technical assistance from the HSTP coordinator on how to better utilize HSTP strategies for

coordination and make necessary program adjustments accordingly. A CUUATS endorsement would indicate the applicant meets coordination criteria in service delivery by meeting needs, goals, and/or utilizing strategies set forth in the urbanized HSTP - and avoids service duplication. As part of IDOT requirements for grants submission, The HSTP coordinator ranked SWANN as a participant in coordination; because:

• Coordinates with other stakeholder agencies (support letters); • Services directly address a need outlined in the urbanized HSTP (serving individuals with disabilities and

improving transportation services through 5310 funding); and • C-U MTD’s letter indicates SWANN services are not a duplication of public Paratransit currently being provided.

Last week we received the missing sections of the grant application, and we have received a verbal commitment from SWANN to: fill out all data requests; utilize HSTP strategies and technical resources; and participate in upcoming Urbanized HSTP meetings. We would encourage SWANN to continuous be participating and communicating with the HSTP process and Coordination.

Urbanized Area Boundary Definition Update 2012 On March 26, 2012, the United States Census Bureau released its updated definition of Urban and Rural areas which includes Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters. This update changes the Champaign-Urbana-Savoy-Bondville Urbanized Area to now also include areas in and around the Village of Tolono.

Proposed criteria released in the Federal Register in August, 2010 suggested criteria modifications, which based on CCRPC analysis, would have excluded Tolono in the 2012 Urbanized Area update. However, Census Bureau reverted to elements of the previous criteria set. Specifically, the proposed criterion for “jumps” proposed at 1.5 miles was reverted to 2.5 miles. Densely populated areas of Tolono are approximately 2.3 miles from the nearest edge of the Urbanized Area boundary. Staff presumes the reason for excluding Tolono in 2002 was due to population densities below the target. A definitive answer is not currently available. 2012 Urbanized Area Factoids: C-U Urbanized Area 2010 population = 145,361 (72.29% of Champaign County) Champaign County Urban population (urban area and urban cluster) = 175,523 (87.29% of Champaign County) Carbondale, IL (southern Illinois) is a new Urbanized Area Cape Girardeau, MO-IL (south of St. Louis on the Mississippi River) is a new Urbanized Area Additional information is available from the U.S. Census Bureau. http://www.census.gov/geo/www/ua/2010urbanruralclass.html Prepared by: Andrew Levy Planner 3/26/2012

TO: CUUATS Technical Committee Members FROM: CUUATS Staff DATE: 4 April 2012 RE: Draft CUUATS Unified Technical Work Program (UTWP) FY 2013 REQUESTED ACTION: Approve Draft CUUATS UTWP FY 2013 BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2013 UTWP covers the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. CUUATS UTWP is developed to coordinate transportation and related planning activities for a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process in the urbanized area. CUUATS UTWP identifies transportation planning priorities for the Champaign-Urbana urbanized area and allocates CUUATS staff resources to particular projects. Specific transportation planning tasks to be undertaken by the MPO staff are organized into six major categories:

• Data Development and Maintenance • Long Range Planning • Short Range Planning • Program Administration • Special Studies • Transportation Information System (Travel Demand Modeling)

The FY2013 CUUATS UTWP aims to provide the most benefit possible to member agencies. Major projects receiving federal, state and local attention over the next year include the implementation and update of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) “Choices: 2035”, update of the Champaign County Greenways and Trails (G&T) Plan, development of the Annual Listing of Obligated Projects, maintenance of the countywide CUUATS travel demand model, maintenance of LEAM as the common framework land use model for Champaign County, use of CUUATS models (SCALDS, EAT, GHG emissions, LALI) to measure impacts of future developments in terms of transportation, land use, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions for Champaign County, and assess which neighborhoods in the urban area are most affordable using the Local Affordability and Livability Index and help to determine where resources should be focused to enhance affordability, and illuminate the implications of their policy and investment choices. Also, the MPO staff is providing support for CATS agencies on the implementation of safety improvements in the University District and CUUATS staff is coordinating with CUUATS member agencies to have plans consistent with local government comprehensive plans as well as other regional agencies’ plans, such as the Mobility Implementation Plan (miPLAN) and other plans. Also, special interest will be taken in implementing some strategies from the Human Services Transportation Plan for the urbanized area as well as preparing plans for providing rural transportation in Champaign County. The Draft UTWP FY2013 was approved at the CUUATS Technical meeting on April 4th. However, a meeting of some CUUATS Technical Committee members needs to be scheduled to discuss the 5% increase on CUUATS membership fees before approval of the Final UTWP FY2013 document for submission to IDOT.

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK


The purpose of the Unified Technical Work Program (UTWP) is to provide CUUATS

staff with a work allocation plan that promotes a cooperative, comprehensive and

continuing (3C) transportation planning process for the Champaign-Urbana

urbanized area as required under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962. All

significant elements of the area-wide planning process used in developing

transportation plans and programs are included. The program also contains

transportation planning support activities including those related to land use, social,

economic, demographic, and environmental factors, and other comprehensive

planning activities. Both federally funded tasks and those funded entirely at state and

local levels are included. The UTWP is sufficiently comprehensive to provide

descriptions of the specific technical activities and funding levels necessary to carry

out the transportation planning program for fiscal year 2013. Development of the

work program is the joint responsibility of the Metropolitan Planning Organization

(MPO), the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), and member agencies

authorized to carry out transportation planning and implementation activities in the

urban area.

The Fiscal Year 2013 UTWP covers the year from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

Input to develop this document was obtained from IDOT, the MPO members,

CCRPC staff members, and the general public.

The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for

Users (SAFETEA-LU) requires all MPOs to carry out the 3C process. Among the

activities MPOs must perform to meet this requirement are: development of the Long

Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the Transportation Improvement program (TIP),

and the UTWP; establishment and oversight of the public participation process,

maintenance of transportation models and data resources as well as long-range and

short-range planning efforts.

I. Introduction


MPO History

The transportation planning process began with Congressional approval of the

Federal-Aid Highway Act on October 23, 1962. This legislation requires that in

urbanized areas (defined as areas with a population of 50,000 or more), programs

for Federal-Aid Highway projects approved after July 1, 1965 must be based on a

“...continuing and comprehensive transportation planning process carried on

cooperatively by states and local communities.” This required “three-C” planning

process established the basis for metropolitan transportation planning used today.

As a result of the 1962 Act, a new official body, the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized

Area Transportation Study (CUUATS) was created in 1965 to build upon this

planning effort and administer the region’s three-C transportation planning process.

In order to assure that comprehensive regional planning efforts were achieved and to

avoid duplication of efforts, in March 1974, the Governor of the State of Illinois

designated the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) as the

Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Champaign-Urbana area.

The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) serves as the CEO of the Champaign-Urbana area MPO. CCRPC administers

the staff for CUUATS, and to avoid any duplication of effort, it has recognized

CUUATS as its own transportation planning entity. In March 1979, a Memorandum

of Agreement was signed by all member agencies of CUUATS, “...for the purpose of

documenting the framework of a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive

transportation planning process that result in plans and programs consistent with the

comprehensively planned development of the Champaign-Urbana urbanized area.”

In December 2011, a new Agreement was endorsed by all participating CUUATS

member agencies. This document delineates responsibilities and actions between

CUUATS and the CCRPC.

II. The Urban Transportation Planning ProcessII. The Urban Transportation Planning Process


In 2002 and 2012, the Villages of Bondville and Tolono, respectively were included

as part of the CUUATS study area, which made them eligible to be a CUUATS

member agency.

The MPO is responsible for the following aspects of the planning process:

To design and set goals and objectives of the planning process and the Long

Range Transportation Plan (LRTP);

To give advice regarding development in the study area;

To review and advise on proposed changes in transportation planning concepts;

To serve as a liaison between governmental units in the study area;

To obtain optimum cooperation of all governmental units in providing information

and in implementing various elements of the transportation plan.

The federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) and its

predecessor, the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA)

were both emphatic about the role of public participation in the transportation

decision-making process. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) continued to encourage

collaboration with stakeholders. Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice

(1994) and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a host of other federal laws

and regulations, also require public involvement, particularly of the

underrepresented, in transportation decision making. Therefore, in 2001, CUUATS

developed a Public Involvement Procedures (PIP) document that defines procedures

9

CUUATS Member Agencies Champaign County Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District City of Champaign City of Urbana Illinois Department of Transportation University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Village of Savoy


used by CUUATS to involve the public in every phase of the decision making

process. To achieve the widest possible support, the PIP document encourages citizen

involvement from initial project development through project completion. The PIP

document was updated in 2007 to have a more user-friendly format that reflects

SAFETEA-LU changes and changes CUUATS has made over time in working with the

public.

CUUATS Urbanized Area The CUUATS urbanized area covers over 40 square miles, and includes the cities of

Champaign and Urbana, and the villages of Savoy, Tolono and Bondville. From

2000 to 2010, the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan area for which CUUATS serves

as MPO experienced a growth in population of approximately 21,476 inhabitants.

The total population for the Champaign-Urbana urbanized area in 2000 was

123,885, including University of Illinois students. Census figures indicate that the

population figure for the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan area in 2010 was

approximately 145,361.

Urbanized area communities: Population and area covered

Population and employment projections along with spatial analysis data for the area

suggest continued growth, which will increase pressure on existing and proposed

roadways and public transportation services.

CUUATS Organizational Structure

CUUATS operates under the principal direction of two committees - the Policy

Committee and the Technical Committee. In its organizational structure, the

Technical Committee acts as a working committee under the direction of the Policy

Committee.

CUUATS Policy Committee

The CUUATS Policy Committee consists of local elected and appointed officials of

those agencies that have a primary interest in transportation. Each member is

expected to reflect the official position of its constituent agency and the public interest

they represent. This committee assumes the decision-making authority for CUUATS

and establishes policies that guide and form the transportation planning process. The

committee has a variety of responsibilities, which range from approving the annual

TIP to establishing the metropolitan planning boundary for the urbanized area. The

members include:

CUUATS Technical Committee

The CUUATS Technical Committee consists of staff from all CUUATS participating

agencies. It performs analyses and makes recommendations concerning

transportation issues to the Policy Committee for their approval. CUUATS Technical

Committee membership is composed of representatives of the following agencies:

CUUATS Staff The professional time and services for transportation planning in this cooperative

effort are provided through a composite approach. It consists of CUUATS staff

housed in the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, as well as staff

from IDOT and other member agencies. The day-to-day operations of the agency

are performed by CUUATS staff, with technical expertise in transportation systems

planning and engineering and other related areas. CUUATS staff, in conjunction with

CUUATS member agencies, collect, analyze and evaluate demographic, land use,

transportation and environmental data to determine the transportation system

requirements of the urbanized area. They also prepare materials for use at Technical

and Policy Committee meetings and other meetings as well as any existing working

groups. The professional staff members participate in all CUUATS meetings and

provide expertise as needed. In addition, they represent the agency at other meetings

of importance to planning activities within the region.

The current staff members are:

13

1. CCRPC, Chief Executive Officer

2. CUUATS, Transportation Planning Manager

3. CUUATS, Senior Transportation Engineer

4. CUUATS, Associate Transportation Engineer

5. CUUATS, Associate Transportation Engineer

5. CUUATS, Transportation Planner II

6. CUUATS, Transportation Planner II

7. CUUATS, Transportation Planner I

8. CUUATS, Transportation Planner I/Mobility Coach

9. CUUATS, Administrative Secretary


CUUATS Funding

CUUATS is funded by federal transportation planning funds from FHWA and FTA, as

well as local match provided by CUUATS member agencies. The transportation

program and staff are funded from two separate federal sources: Federal Planning

funds and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 funds, both of which

are distributed by IDOT. In addition, the funds require a 20% local match, which is

supplied by Champaign County, the cities of Champaign and Urbana, the University

of Illinois, and the Village of Savoy. To ensure that all funds are well managed and

that planning activities are completed in accordance with federal and state

guidelines, the state has entered into an agreement with the MPO and the agencies

represented by the MPO to coordinate the planning process.

14


Purpose

CUUATS UTWP is developed to coordinate transportation and related planning

activities for a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive planning process. This

Work Program includes a description of proposed work submitted to state and

federal agencies that are the financial sponsors of the Program. This Unified

Technical Work Program describes the transportation planning efforts in the

Champaign-Urbana urbanized area for the period of July 1, 2012 to June 30,

2013; identifies transportation planning priorities for the Champaign-Urbana

urbanized area and allocates CUUATS staff resources to particular projects and

issues. It also defines the functional and financial responsibilities of participating

agencies that are involved in the urban transportation planning process; and serves

as a management tool for the participating entities.

Tasks are encompassed by major areas of activity or programs in which Champaign

County, the Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District, the Cities of Champaign and

Urbana, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the University of Illinois, the

Village of Savoy, the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission and

CUUATS staff will participate. Work performed by CUUATS staff is outlined in each

work task.

The FY2013 Unified Technical Work Program was developed in accordance with the

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users

(SAFETEA-LU), as adopted by Congress and signed by the President on August 10,

2005.

The SAFETEA-LU planning rules call for consideration of eight planning factors as

outlined below as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process:

15

III. CUUATS Unified Technical Work Program III. CUUATS Unified Technical Work Program


A. "Safety – SAFETEA-LU establishes a new core Highway Safety Improvement Program

that is structured and funded to make significant progress in reducing highway

fatalities”;

B. "Equity –The new Equity Bonus Program has three features – one tied to Highway

Trust Fund contributions and two that are independent";

C. "Innovative Finance – SAFETEA-LU makes it easier and more attractive for the private

sector to participate in highway infrastructure projects, bringing new ideas and

resources to the table";

D. "Congestion Relief - SAFETEA-LU gives States more flexibility to use road pricing to

manage congestion, and promotes real-time traffic management in all States to help

improve transportation security and provide better information to travelers and

emergency responders";

E. "Mobility and Productivity – SAFETEA-LU provides a substantial investment in core

Federal-aid programs, as well as programs to improve interregional and

international transportation, address regional needs, and fund critical high-cost

transportation infrastructure projects of national and regional significance";

F. "Efficiency – The Highways for LIFE pilot program in SAFETEA-LU will advance longer-

lasting highways using innovative technologies and practices to speed up the

construction of efficient and safe highways and bridges";

G. "Environmental Stewardship – SAFETEA-LU retains and increases funding for

environmental programs of TEA-21, and adds new programs focused on the

environment, including a pilot program for non-motorized transportation and Safe

Routes to School (SRTS). SAFETEA-LU also includes significant new environmental

requirements for the Statewide and Metropolitan Planning process";

H. “Environmental Streamlining – SAFETEA-LU incorporates changes aimed at

improving and streamlining the environmental process for transportation projects.

16


IDOT Policy Factors IDOT considers eight policy factors in the long-range development of the Illinois

transportation system:

Managing the existing infrastructure to ensure efficient performance.

Accommodating future growth in population and employment.

Ensure global economic competitiveness.

Providing transportation for underserved populations such as the elderly, children

and the disabled.

Protecting the environment.

Assuring safety for all transportation users.

Securing adequate funding for maintaining and improving the transportation

systems.

Providing security measures to ensure the continued operation of the system.

CUUATS work activities for the fiscal year 2013 include addressing these issues

through different tasks delineated later in this document.

CUUATS Planning Priorities Planning priorities facing the urbanized area focus on Champaign-Urbana’s

development pressures, assistance to local governments with their general

transportation planning needs and update of respective transportation elements

consistent with the current LRTP, and major transportation projects requiring

continuing attention. Major projects receiving federal, state and local attention over

the next year include the implementation and update of the Long Range

Transportation Plan (LRTP) “Choices: 2035”, update of the Champaign County

Greenways and Trails (G&T) Plan, development of the Annual Listing of Obligated

Projects, maintenance of the countywide CUUATS travel demand model,

maintenance of LEAM as the common framework land use model for Champaign

County, use of CUUATS models to measure impacts of future developments in terms

17


of transportation, land use, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions for Champaign

County, and assess which neighborhoods in the urban area are most affordable

using the Local Affordability and Livability Index and help to determine where

resources should be focused to enhance affordability, and illuminate the implications

of their policy and investment choices. Also, the MPO staff is providing support for

CATS agencies on the implementation of safety improvements in the University

District and CUUATS staff is coordinating with CUUATS member agencies to have

plans consistent with local government comprehensive plans as well as other regional

agencies’ plans, such as the Mobility Implementation Plan (miPLAN) and other plans.

Also, special interest will be taken in implementing some strategies from the Human

Services Transportation Plan for the urbanized area as well as preparing plans for

providing rural transportation in Champaign County.

The Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation Study (CUUATS) approved

the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 2035: Choices in December 2009. The

Implementation of the “LRTP 2035: Choices” will focus on increasing the mobility of

area residents and the connectivity of the entire transportation system in order to

create a more efficient travel network. A multi-modal approach was used in the

preparation of the Plan with the intention of creating transportation improvements

which focus not only on automobiles, but also on other active modes of

transportation such as walking, biking and transit. The implementation of “LRTP

2035: Choices” will also consider data collection for the purpose of measuring

performance based indicators to track the progress made toward the goals and

objectives recommended by this document. An annual report card will be prepared at

the end of the calendar year providing updates toward the established goals and

objectives.

The Update of the Champaign County Greenways and Trails Plan is designed to

provide guidance and a framework to ensure the county’s desire to create a

18


bikeable, walkable and environmentally aware and active community. This Plan will

update the Champaign County Greenways and Trails Plan adopted in 2004 and it

will combine five recently adopted Plans: the Champaign Transportation Master Plan

and the Urbana Bicycle Master Plan both adopted in 2008, the Champaign-Urbana

Long Range Transportation Plan adopted in 2009, and the Champaign

Comprehensive Plan and Champaign Trails Plan both adopted in 2011. The update

will build upon previous recommendations and implementation strategies, and will

also improve the plan by utilizing current best practices as well as the most recent

design guidelines to more effectively implement the system.

SAFETEA-LU requires that "...an Annual Listing of Projects, including investments in

pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities, for which federal funds have

been obligated in the preceding year be published or otherwise made available by

the cooperative effort of the State, transit operator, and metropolitan planning

organization for public review. The listing shall be consistent with the funding

categories identified in each metropolitan transportation improvement program

(TIP)." This provision is intended to increase the transparency of government spending

on transportation projects and strategies in metropolitan areas to State and local

officials, and to the public at large. Realizing this objective involves promoting

accuracy and responsiveness in financial planning and adoption of a proactive

approach to sharing information with the public in a meaningful way, at an

appropriate time, and in a user-friendly format.

The CUUATS Travel Demand Model (TDM) is a tool that forecasts travel

characteristics for the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area. It helps make educated

decisions for planning, designing, and operating transportation systems in concert

with the implementation of the “LRTP 2035: Choices” goals. In FY 2013, the

updated CUUATS TDM will play a pivotal role for analyzing transportation systems

related to MOEs (e.g., Vehicle Miles Traveled, congestion levels, travel mode share,

etc.). The updated TDM includes a complete mode-choice model and the model

19


area boundary was expanded to include all of Champaign County. This will help

seamlessly to integrate the TDM with the land use model developed for Champaign

County utilizing the Land Use Evaluation and impact Assessment Model (LEAM)

platform. The integrated TDM and land use model will be a powerful tool in

evaluating regional transportation policy and infrastructure building decisions in an

efficient way.

CUUATS staff will continue the development using MOVES platform for the Air

Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Model for Champaign County. The County-

wide Air Quality Model will be fully integrated with the County-wide Travel Demand

Model and will be capable of providing mobile source emissions analyses at various

scales and time frames based on projected changes in travel behavior and changes

in the transportation network. Analyses based on the output from the emissions

model will be included in the next Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to further

develop new or adjust existing LRTP Measures of Effectiveness and to gauge progress

towards or away from goals and objectives.

CUUATS will continue work on developing an integrated suite of modeling tools

designed to provide the community with a robust suite of transportation,

environmental, and land use analyses. This suite of tools will include several

components, all dependent to some degree on MOVES mobile source emissions

rates. The Air Quality model will be integrated with the LEAM land use change and

CUUATS Travel Demand models to provide insight into expected changes in mobile

source emissions due to changes in travel behavior and land use intensity. The Social

Costs of Alternative Land Development Scenarios (SCALDS) model provides

monetary and non-monetary costs of development based on LEAM land use change

results and TDM travel demand/mode shift. The CUUATS Emissions Analysis Tool

(EAT) estimates small-scale changes in emissions based on land use mix, street

design, and connectivity of any defined area within the County. Further development

20


of the EAT is expected to include a trip generation component which will allow a

more focused analysis of development mix influence on mobile source emissions

within potential redevelopment areas. A geostatistical model (currently in

development) is being designed to spatialize emissions and ambient air quality based

on changes in travel behavior. Also, CUUATS staff will use the CUUATS Local

Affordability and Livability Index (LALI) tool to estimate the true affordability of a home

based on its estimated market value and the transportation costs incurred by its

location with respect to several factors. At a community level, LALI can help

households assess which neighborhoods in a region are most affordable, and it can

help policy makers determine where resources should be focused to enhance

affordability, and illuminate the implications of their policy and investment choices.

CUUATS staff will update the Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP) for the

Champaign-Urbana urbanized area by facilitating public meetings/focus groups in

order to create an action plan to improve implementation of strategies. The

document identifies transit (Section 5307), paratransit, and human service

transportation (Section 5310) needs, gaps, and barriers for elders, individuals with

disabilities, and individuals or families with low incomes as well as provides strategies

that will help address those issues. Funding strategies include Job Access Reverse

Commute (Section 5316) and New Freedom Beyond ADA (Section 5317).

CUUATS staff will develop a Rural Transportation Map and Mobility Plan for the

Villages of Rantoul, Thomasboro, Ludlow, Gifford, Royal, Ogden, and St. Joseph.

The plan will define specific transportation and mobility needs for the rural

population living in these communities while addressing strategies to improve and

expand current transit service delivery and mobility options to enhance the quality of

life for the community and future growing mobility needs.

21


CUUATS staff will develop Guidelines for Bus Passenger Facilities for the Urbanized

Area. which will address designing accessible bus stops for people with disabilities;

enhancing safety for transit and other roadway users; levels of amenities at bus stops

based on riders boarding; and ways to improve access for disadvantaged

populations through design and placement of bus stops.

CUUATS staff will continue to facilitate the Rural Transit Advisory Group (RTAG), a

subcommittee of the Champaign County Board that provides direction regarding

transit service and implementation and to which CRIS Rural Transit reports.

Additionally, staff will continue to provide technical assistance in the oversight issues

pertaining to Champaign County as the grantee for the rural transit federal

funding. Additionally, staff will analyze and use CRIS Rural Transit rider data to

guide strategies recommended in the plan.

CUUATS staff will continue working with IDOT on updating the Champaign County

Strategic Local Safety Highway Plan with the goal of reducing the number of severe

and fatal crashes on the local system.

CUUATS staff also continues to work on the University District Traffic Circulation

Study whose objectives are to identify improvement measures for the existing traffic

circulation system in the University District area and create a pedestrian, bicycle, and

transit-oriented circulation system on campus, while maintaining necessary access for

emergency and service vehicles and recommend traffic management and control

strategies for University related traffic (including parking consolidation) to ensure a

safer and smoother transportation network for the University District area and the

area surrounding the campus.

A project in which CUUATS staff is involved and providing significant support is the

development of the Mobility Implementation Plan (miPLAN) for the urbanized area.

22


The Long Range Transportation Plan 2025 and 2035 call for the preservation and

development of a multi-modal transportation system that is responsive to the mobility

needs of the people and changes in land use. Based on this framework, and within

the next 12 months, CUMTD jointly working with CUUATS members will complete a

Long Range Mobility Implementation Plan for the urbanized area.

Assistance to local agency members in the areas of grant applications, safety studies

and implementation, travel forecasting, traffic studies, traffic impact assessments,

traffic simulation, access management, corridor analyses, and other areas of

transportation planning and engineering that contribute to a comprehensive

metropolitan transportation planning process will continue to represent a significant

portion of the CUUATS Work Program.

Public Involvement

In regional transportation planning processes, residents and other potential interested

parties are crucial to how successful a project and its implementation will be. Without

input and support from these people, no project or program will truly achieve the

needs and desires defined for the community. The Champaign Urbana Urbanized

Area Transportation Study (CUUATS) seeks to proactively involve the public in all

phases of its planning processes. For this purpose, CUUATS staff has prepared a

Public Involvement Plan document that presents what CUUATS staff undertakes to

gather and utilize public input in its myriad of initiatives. CUUATS utilizes a variety of

techniques to involve the public, generally characterized into forums, paper, and

electronic formats.

The following table summarizes which techniques CUUATS staff will at minimum use

for the given planning documents or processes. Those that are not highlighted in the

table are used less frequently, depending on the context of the project being done.

23


UTWP Structure

Specific transportation planning tasks to be undertaken by the MPO staff are

organized into six major categories:

EXHIBIT V—Accounting Narrative FY 2013

CUUATS funds are administered by the CCRPC system description that follows: Separate accounts (departments) have been established in a general ledger. The account records identify the receipt and expenditure of funds for each grant, refer to subsidiary records and/or documentation that support the entry and provides accurate and current financial reporting information.

Costs within the accounting system are classified into the following groups:

1. Direct labor costs. 2. Non-labor costs directly related to a specific program. 3. Indirect costs (both labor and non-labor.)

Direct labor hours are charged to the specific general ledger account and work elements within that account based upon actual work hours spent. Work elements of the UTWP are numerically coded and are utilized in preparing staff timesheets. The payroll computer print out accumulates staff names, hours and cost for each work element within the transportation planning grant account. Non-labor costs are those incurred as being directly related to a specific program e.g., Transportation. Typical non-labor costs directly chargeable to the appropriate grant programs include:

a. Costs of goods acquired, consumed or expended specifically for the purpose of the

grant; i.e., postage; b. Services and contractual items specifically related to the grant program, i.e.,

photocopying expense.

These costs are chargeable to the appropriate grant program based on source documentation maintained by the accounting system evidencing the nature and purpose of the charges (e.g., long distance telephone logs, postage logsheets, photocopying logsheets). Once charged to the transportation program these costs will be distributed to the various program work elements according to the proportion of direct salaries charged to each work element during the period.

The indirect costs (labor and non-labor) are those incurred which cannot be directly associated with the transportation program. These costs are charged to an administrative/overhead account. A statement of actual indirect charges and the final indirect cost rate for the period ended 11/30/13 will be submitted upon receipt of the audit. The indirect cost rate utilized in the budget is a projection based upon anticipated activity, as well as historical experience. The rate is subject to revision based on final audit. The indirect costs are determined by applying the provisional rate to the total direct labor cost for each individual work task. The resulting amounts are billed and reported under work program tasks.

The accounting system has established guidelines related to the methodology for classifying certain costs as direct or indirect. Each item of cost is treated consistently either as a direct or an indirect cost. Definitions and methodology related to direct and indirect costs are derived from federal circular A-87.
