The motion passed unanimously on the second by Mayor Rick Graham. Public Comments There were no public comments. Action Items:
a) Adopt Annual Update to the Safety Performance Target Mr. Sean Pfalzer, Transportation Planning Manager & MPO Coordinator, said that we are required to annually adopt safety performance targets for five measures. He said that staff recommends the Board support the statewide targets. There were some concerns expressed at the Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) that the target for fatalities is higher than the baseline for traffic fatalities. We are looking to revisit targets at the regional level as we update the Unified Transportation Plan. The staff is requesting the Board adopt Resolution TPB‐2020‐01 endorsing the state safety targets for the annual update.
Mr. Gerald Herman said that the number of fatalities might be higher because there are more people and traffic. Mayor Rogers Anderson asked for a breakout of fatalities for 2‐wheel, 4‐wheel, and 18‐wheel vehicles. Mr. Pfalzer said that crashes will be analyzed by mode. Mayor Anderson said he unsure what the rolling fatality rate refers to. Ms. Pfalzer said that safety measures and trends would be discussed in greater detail at next month’s meeting. Mr. Skipper, GNRC Executive Director, said that the numbers are important because we are talking about saving lives. Mayor Bill Ketron moved to adopt Resolution TPB‐2020‐01 endorsing the state safety targets for the annual update. Mr. Kenny Martin seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
b) Endorse Amendment to the FYs 2020‐23 TIP Ms. Anna Emerson, Principal Planner, said that we have received approval from FHWA for the FYs 2020‐23 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). She said that these amendments are for the FYs 2020‐23 TIP, and consist of adding several new projects. Mayor Ketron moved to endorse the amendments to the FYs 2020‐23 TIP for public review and comment. Mayor Rick Graham seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Mayor Moore moved to extend the terms until February 2021 to align it with the adoption of the Unified Transportation Plan. Mayor Anderson seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Informational Items
a) Public Launch of the Unified Transportation Plan Mr. Pfalzer presented an overview of the public launch for the Unified Transportation Plan. He also went over the progression of activities scheduled each month until adoption. He gave a brief overview of the new Unified Plan website (www.solvethistogether.org) that will serve as a clearinghouse for the efforts already underway and a launch pad for the upcoming initiatives like the Downtown Interstate Loop Concepts Study. Mr. KB Aboagye wanted to clarify that the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is now being called the Unified Transportation Plan (Unified Plan) and, if so, is the scope the same. Mr. Skipper said it was. Mayor Anderson asked if the land development discussion will include agriculture. Mr. Skipper said it will be included in the environmental impact discussion.
b) Initial Revenue Projections for the Plan Mr. Skipper said that the Plan is the gateway for federal dollars. He said that the law requires a balanced budget over the life of the Plan. He said that in 2016 there was $8.8 Billion in available revenue for transportation investments, consisting primarily of federal dollars along with matching state and local sources. In projecting federal formula grants for 2021‐2045, he said that we could anticipate $8.2 Billion (assuming no growth in revenues), $10.5 Billion (assuming 2% annual growth), and $14.4 Billion (assuming 4.4% annual growth). He said that an analysis of more than a dozen peer regions revealed that the Nashville area is much lower than peer regions based on average annual transportation funding per capita. As a result, the Nashville region is overreliant on federal funding sources to address transportation needs.
Mayor Jamie Clary asked if more local money means more federal funds. Mr. Skipper said that additional local funding would increase opportunities to leverage federal discretionary grants, but the main takeaway is that fast‐growing regions with significant transportation challenges are are raising local revenue to solve those challenges.
He said that the Revenue Briefing Paper will contain a primer that shows the history of transportation funding since 1956 and assess the current opportunities to leverage federal dollars. He said that in our greater need for funding we need to analyze options for expanding revenues.
He said that we need to gather information from each of the jurisdictions on how much local revenue is dedicated to transportation and what sources it is derived from. He said that staff will be reaching out to each jurisdiction to obtain the local revenue information. For more information, go to https://www.solvethistogether.org/current‐plan.
c) Update on the Call‐for‐Projects for the Plan Ms. Emerson updated members on funding requests submitted through the Call‐for‐Projects for the Unified Plan, and notified them that all local governments need to identify additional needs and submit those project requests by the end of February. She informed members that the Research and Data Analytics team is mapping all the projects. There are approximately $7.9 Billion in project funding requests thus far. Mr. Skipper added that very few new projects have been requested.
d) Downtown Interstate Loop Concepts Study Kick‐off Mr. Skipper said that part of the Unified Plan, GNRC is studying the issues and challenges in the Inner Loop around downtown Nashville. He said that the work is being performed by GNRC in partnership with Nashville Civic Design Center, Volkert, Inc., KCI Technologies, Stones River Group, and Cambridge Systematics. The kick‐off meeting on February 12 at the Nashville Downtown Partnership was well attended. Mr. Skipper said that the study is intended to get a big picture of ideas on how to improve mobility at the bottlenecks on the downtown interstate loop to support future development around the area. Ms. Pam Kordenbrock said that any changes in the loop must be approved by TDOT, and then by FHWA. Mayor Moore said that the complexity of the issue may require longer sessions of the Board.
Regular Reports
a) TDOT Report Mr. Aboagye said that the Commissioner is working on getting replacement for Mr. Toks Omishakin. TDOT received an approved STIP from FHWA. TDOT received the final State Planning Finding Report which is done every three years. There was one finding to update the Congestion Management Process (CMP), which is on schedule to be completed with the Plan. He said that the final discussions are underway to determine awards for the Multimodal Access Grant and CMAQ grant programs.
b) Staff Report Mr. Pfalzer said that the staff is continuing to work on the Congestion Management Process (CMP) with TDOT and FHWA.
The UPWP call for planning studies updates. We don’t anticipate any significant call for new studies. He said that advisory committees continue to meet monthly. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Coordination met the end of January. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) met at the end of January and the next meeting is scheduled for February 26th.
c) Chair’s Report Mayor Reed said it was a great roll‐out of the Unified Plan in October, but we need to go back to our communities and educate them. She said that it is the Board’s role, not staff’s role, to solve the transportation issues. We might need extra sessions to study the issue.
Other Business Mayor Cooper said that Metro‐Nashville’s listening sessions on transportation are still in process. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:38 a.m. Date: ______________________ ___________________________ The Honorable Mary Esther Reed Chairman, MPO Transportation Policy Board ___________________________ Sean Pfalzer, Transportation Planning Manager MPO Coordinator

The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader, United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
Dear Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy:
On behalf of the nation’s metropolitan, regional, and rural planning organizations, the undersigned organizations are writing to thank you for strong leadership and swift action to help contend with the extensive challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, including confronting the public health issues and the economic fallout of this ongoing and unprecedented situation.
The nation’s metropolitan and regional planning organizations represent the collective voices of city, municipal, and county officials, all of which are contending with the extensive fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our members are playing significant roles on behalf of their communities, including critical coordination for the provision of transportation services to support public health and the basic functions of the economy during this time of unprecedented challenges. These organizations will also help support the economic recovery through the efficient and prioritized expenditure of infrastructure funds. Like others, planning organizations face uncertain futures with regard to staffing and funding.
As you consider future legislation to promote the public health response and bolster economic recovery, we encourage you to include or consider the following:
Provide additional funds to metropolitan, regional, and rural planning organizations through the Metropolitan Planning (PL) program, Federal Transit Administration planning funding, and the State Planning and Research (SPR) Program. Collectively, planning organizations anticipate tens of millions of dollars in unanticipated spending from additional IT expenses, additional sick time and health care costs, loss of productivity, and project delays. Additional and robust funding can help ensure they are able to continue their important efforts at the regional level to support the public health response and prevent staffing losses that could hamper the expenditure of recovery funds over time. These additional planning funds should be provided at 100 percent federal share, to reduce the burden on local areas and to ensure the availability to utilize these funds during times of critical challenges to local budgets.
Utilize the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) (23 U.S.C. § 133) under the federal-aid highway program and public transportation program for stimulus spending. Distribute this funding using existing formulas and suballocation procedures under 23 U.S.C. § 133. Remove local match requirements so federal funds can cover 100% of a project’s costs.
Allow funds provided in a stimulus bill to be used as the local share funds for any program, including Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality, and Metropolitan Planning. Allowing new funds to be used to match other program funds would help ensure speedier project delivery.
Waive all restrictions under 49 U.S.C. § 5307 on the use of funds for operating expenses for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021. During this period, allow federal funds to be used for 100 percent of project costs.
Consider ways to accelerate the current reimbursement of funds to States and subsequently to sub-state entities. The current reimbursement process can require states and local entities to incur expenses with their own funds and then wait to be reimbursed. In some cases, this may present an impediment that could slow down the expenditure of resources.
Provide regulatory relief. The following changes will help planning organization meet federal requirements during a period of disruption to their normal operations while at the same time protecting public health by not requiring gatherings of any size.
o Encourage the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and others to liberally grant extensions to organizations for requirements such as long-range transportation plan (LRTP) approvals, Unified Public Work Program (UPWP), FTA triennial reviews, quadrennial certifications, invoice processing, and other relevant deadlines that occur during fiscal year 2020 to provide up to 180 days after the National Emergency Declaration is lifted for compliance.
o Extend deadlines for discretionary grant programs, including obligation deadlines, so recipients are not penalized with the loss of their grant due to an extended period of slowdown or stoppage of required work.
o Encourage FHWA and FTA to provide maximum flexibility in regards to public involvement requirements, allowing for distribution of materials on the internet or through other reasonable distribution methods, and allowing for gathering of comments electronically as sufficient under such requirements for the duration of the national state of emergency and until Federal, State, and local health officials agree that it is safe for public gatherings to recommence.
o Encourage FHWA and FTA to allow, pursuant to federal law, a MPOs policy board to meet electronically or telephonically during the period in which a national disaster is declared. Policy boards meeting in this way should be able to vote and otherwise make decisions as if they were meeting in person. Further, grant emergency powers to an organization’s Executive Director or Board Chairperson to approve documents on behalf of the MPO as needed.
o Ease lapsing requirements if a State can demonstrate that an impact of the national emergency declaration is the proximate cause of the funding lapse.
o Provide flexibility to states and MPOs to update required performance targets and set new targets as appropriate to adequately reflect the anticipated conditions. Further, allow for or automatically grant extensions of performance target setting deadlines as appropriate, including the MPO CMAQ Performance Plan which is currently due on October 1, 2020.
o Consider changes to procurement processes that will be necessary if whole offices are teleworking, such as allowing for electronic signatures.
Planning organizations play a critical supporting role for the ongoing local public health response and economic stimulus that will be required in the future. We look forward to working with Congress to help support these efforts and ensure as robust a response as possible to the many challenges raised by COVID-19.
Sincerely,
March 17, 2020

Subject: Request for Flexibility on Federal Deadlines for Transportation Planning
Dear Ms. Kordenbrock,
I hope this letter finds you and our federal colleagues well. I am writing to share our response to the COVID‐19 pandemic and my concerns about the impact of the evolving situation on the development of the regional transportation plan for the Nashville metropolitan area.
As discussed at recent meetings of the Transportation Policy Board and Transportation Coordinating Committee, the remaining milestones for plan development, to include a fully integrated and federally compliant congestion management process, are as follows:
March and April – Presentation of regional findings related to roadway safety and traffic congestion trends; Overview of regional land use model forecasts; Presentation of considerations and concerns related for economic opportunity, environmental impact, and social equity.
May and June – Presentation of a draft regional vision and listing of candidate projects; Board endorsement of the updated policy framework to include refined goals, objectives, strategies, and project prioritization methodology.
August – Board endorsement of initial draft plan for State and federal compliance review. September thru Dec. – Compliance review, interagency consultation, and plan optimization. December – Board endorsement of final draft plan for public review and comment. February – Public hearing and Board adoption of the final plan.
It has become clear to me, members of the Board, and GNRC staff that this schedule will be difficult to maintain given recent events and the uncertainty of the weeks ahead.
Postponed Public Meetings and Workshops GNRC elected to cancel the March meeting of the Transportation Coordinating Committee as a result of the March 3 tornados that swept across Middle Tennessee. Since then, GNRC has elected to postpone all upcoming public gatherings in response to the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic in accordance with the guidelines provided by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Tennessee Governor.
Letter to Pamela M. Kordenbrock, page 2
This includes public meetings of the Transportation Coordinating Committee, Transportation Policy Board, and workshops associated with ongoing transportation planning studies.
While staff is in continuous communication with Transportation Policy Board leadership and will make every effort to provide ongoing updates on progress, it is important to note that many members of the Board have pressing and evolving priorities within their community related to the public health crisis and ongoing recovery from the March storms.
Technical Work Continues Though it will be difficult to carry‐out the necessary meetings or to execute a robust public engagement strategy over the next several weeks, I want to assure you that GNRC staff and consultants are continuing the technical work required of the planning process. GNRC has made provisions to support telework and will be increasing its use of digital media and online platforms to continue its coordination with local and State planning partners. In addition, SolveThisTogether.org and GNRC.org will be updated with new information as it becomes available so that the public has a way to stay informed and involved.
Request for Flexibility Given the situation in which the nation finds itself, I respectfully request your support as GNRC makes real‐time decisions to adapt to current events. As mentioned above, we are taking steps to mitigate the impact as much as possible, but our ability to meet upcoming federal deadlines related to the regional transportation plan and the integrated congestion management process is going to be hampered.
We are committed to delivering a transportation plan that not only exceeds federal expectations, but also is fully responsive to the needs of our region. I welcome an opportunity to meet with you and TDOT leadership once the ongoing crisis stabilizes in order to discuss a mutually acceptable path forward. Until then, I believe it is appropriate for us proactively communicate with you our concerns and contingency plans.

Subject: Request for Flexibility on Federal Deadlines for Transportation Planning
Dear Mayor Reed:
Thank you for your letter regarding the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact to the metropolitan transportation planning process. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and our partners at the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) certainly understand the unique situation this presents to the Nashville Area MPO. We are also taking steps to carry out our mission while meeting recommended guidelines to limit the spread of the coronavirus, including teleworking, encouraging virtual meetings when possible, and limiting travel.
FHWA is committed to supporting the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and all MPOs in carrying out their metropolitan planning processes while adapting to these events. The Nashville Area MPO is not alone in having to adjust its response to this situation, and TDOT and FHWA must ensure consistency across Tennessee’s MPOs regarding requests for flexibility. We are working together to better understand specific challenges faced by each MPO and to best advise on methods to address those challenges. Apart from any specific concerns, we have advised all MPOs to make reasonable efforts to continue to follow established schedules and meet the regulatory deadlines of the planning program. For example, FHWA encourages using virtual Board meetings and virtual public involvement to address the challenges you identified. We are prepared to assist the MPO in such an effort or addressing any other challenges. Please ensure the MPO staff is communicating as soon as possible with TDOT and FHWA as potential impacts to the planning process arise.
FHWA and MPO staff have met regularly for several months now regarding the MPO’s CMP update. These meetings have proven successful and we would like for this continue, albeit virtually for the foreseeable future. We would also welcome an opportunity to meet with you and TDOT virtually regarding a path forward to discuss any specific concerns.
Please don’t hesitate to further reach out with any questions.

Agenda Item 4c.
Update on Growth and Development Forecasting for the
Unified Transportation Plan
Background
Staff will share updates on the process to finalize household and employment
forecasts being used for the Unified Transportation Plan. The report will include
general summary of input received to‐date from local jurisdictions.
Recommendation
For information purposes.
General Background GNRC is in the process of finalizing the land use model to be used in the development of a new regional transportation plan (SolveThisTogether.org). The primary purpose of the land use model is to predict the location of future households and jobs at the Census block level. The model suballocates county‐level population and employment control totals for 2025, 2035, and 2045 as sourced from Woods and Poole Economics. The block‐level predictions are a key input into GNRC’s activity‐based travel demand model which is used to forecast future year travel behaviors and transportation system performance (e.g., travel speeds, levels of traffic congestion, transit ridership, etc.). The land use model output is used in other local and regional planning activities to ensure consistency with the regional transportation plan.
UrbanSim Software Platform GNRC has hired UrbanSim to develop the new land use model using their open source platform. UrbanSim simulates real estate markets by representing the choices of individual households and businesses (or jobs) making location choices. It is built using local data sources from the GNRC planning area, and the parameters for the model are estimated using advanced statistical methods to ensure that the model actually reflects local conditions. More information and supporting documentation can be found online at https://cloud.urbansim.com/docs/.
Involvement of Local Partners Members of the Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) are involved in the development of the land use model in the following ways:
Review and comment on Woods and Poole Economics population, household, and employment projections.
Provide local (GIS) data representing current land use, zoning allowances, and future land use policy. Troubleshoot unexpected outcomes during base year calibration as a result of underlying data
availability or quality issues. Identify development approved for construction between the model base year (2017) and first horizon
(2025) to account for known short‐term growth (i.e., short‐term adjustments).
Process for Short‐Term Adjustments 1. Each local government representative on the TCC is asked to complete a spreadsheet log of known
development approved for construction that is not accounted for in the 2017 base year. 2. Residential and non‐residential development “permitted” for construction will be manually adjusted into
the 2025 horizon to account for the number of residential units or expected jobs associated with the development.
3. TCC member will need to provide the name of development, street address (or Census Block ID), date permitted, estimated completion date, and number of units, non‐residential sqft, or estimate of jobs.
4. The adjustments may be subtracted from a future planning horizon control total for the county. 5. Interactive maps of 2017 and 2025 households and employment densities by Census Block are provided
online at https://www.GNRC.org/2025Review.
