TO: HRPDC/HRTPO Board Members FROM: Robert Crum, Executive Director RE: Executive Director’s October 2017 Report On September 21, 2017, the HRPDC took unanimous action to endorse the Hampton Roads Unmanned Systems Testing, Demonstration and Recreational Facility and the Hampton Roads Regional Broadband Initiative as GO Virginia Proposals. As follow up to this action, HRPDC staff is supporting both proposals by providing assistance in the preparation of GO Virginia applications requesting funding for both initiatives. GO Virginia supports efforts to create more high-paying jobs through incentivized collaboration between business, education and government to diversify and strengthen Virginia’s economy. The Hampton Roads region is located in GO Virginia Region 5. The GO Virginia Economic Growth and Diversification Plan reviewed by the HRPDC at its July meeting identified the following industry clusters for this region:

• Port Operations • Advanced Manufacturing • Cyber Security, Data Analytics and Mod-Sim • Business Services • Life Sciences • Shipbuilding and Ship Repair • Water Technologies • Unmanned Systems and Aerospace • Tourism and Recreation

Weekly phone calls have been scheduled with project coordinators to assist in the preparation of the Unmanned Systems and Broadband proposals. The deadline for these applications to be submitted to the GO Virginia Regional Council is October 31st. The action by the HRPDC and the Chief Administrative Officers Committee to unanimously endorse both proposals represents a strong statement of regional collaboration among the region’s 17 local governments.

ITEM #17: HAMPTON ROADS REGIONAL CONNECTORS STUDY: Camelia Ravanbakht, HRTPO

SUMMARY:

An update on the Hampton Roads Regional Connectors Study (formerly titled the Study of the Remaining Components of the Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)). Dr. Camelia Ravanbakht, HRTPO Executive Director, will brief the HRTPO Board on this item. BACKGROUND:

During the HRTPO Board Meeting on October 20, 2016, the HRTPO Board requested HRTAC allocate up to $7 million ($3 million with a $4 million contingency) toward the cost of further study of the HRCS-SEIS components not included in the Preferred Alternative:

• I-564/I-664 Connectors • I-664 widening from the I-64/I-264/I-664 interchange at Bowers Hill to the I-64/I-664

interchange in Hampton, including the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel (MMMBT)

• VA 164/164 Connector The HRTAC, at its meeting on October 20, 2016, passed a resolution approving up to $7 million from the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund (HRTF) for this study. At the HRTPO Board meeting on January 19, 2017, the Board authorized the Executive Director to work with HRTAC and VDOT to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which was executed on May 1, 2017. Currently, the HRTPO and HRTAC have developed a draft Project Agreement for Funding and Administration (enclosed). A Steering (Policy) Committee was formed, convened its first meeting on October 5, 2017, and approved the Guidance for the Scope of Work (attached) recommended by the Hampton Roads Regional Connectors Study Working Group. Attachment 17 Enclosure 17: Project Agreement for Funding and Administration between the HRTAC and the

HRTPO RECOMMENDED ACTIONS (Action to be taken under Meeting Agenda Item #21-F:

1. Approve the Project Agreement for Funding and Administration

2. Approve the Guidance for the Scope of Work for the Hampton Roads Regional Connectors Study.

3. Authorize the Executive Director to initiate the Request for Proposals (RFP) process.

Hampton Roads Regional Connectors Study Guidance for Scope of Work Prepared by HRTPO Staff for Working Group and Steering (Policy) Committee September 2017 Study Purpose According to the May 1, 2017 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the purpose of this study is to evaluate the “feasibility, permitability, and transportation benefits” of the following segments not included in the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approved HRCS SEIS Preferred Alternative (Alternative A):

• VA 164 • I-564 Connector • VA 164 Connector • I-664 Connector • I-664 (from I-64 in Hampton to US 460/58/13 in Chesapeake, not including Bowers Hill)

Other segments furthering the study’s specific goals and objectives (to be established under Phase I), may be added to the above five segments for evaluation in this study. This study should establish a regional long-term vision that investigates 21st century transportation options that connect the Peninsula and the Southside across the Hampton Roads Harbor that enhance economic vitality and improve the quality of life in the region. This analysis will use a baseline assumption that—at a minimum—the following projects will be built:

• I-64 Peninsula (Segments I, II, III; from Bland Blvd. to VA 199 at Lightfoot) • I-64 Southside / High-Rise Bridge (Phase I) • I-64 Widening including Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (from I-664 in Hampton to I-564

in Norfolk) • I-64/I-264 Interchange (Phases I and II) • I-64 Express (HOT) Lanes (Segments I, II, III)

Projects emerging from this study will be considered by the HRTPO Board for its 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), including the Vision Plan portion of that document.

Attachment 17

Background

In 2015, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), initiated the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the March 2001 Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS) Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

On July 25, 2016, the FHWA and Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approved the Hampton Roads Crossing Study Draft Supplemental Impact Statement (HRCS SEIS). At its September 2016 meeting, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), unanimously approved the HRCS SEIS Alternative A, “modified” to include the Bowers Hill Interchange, as the region’s Preferred Alternative. On October 20, 2016, the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) also unanimously supported the HRTPO’s selection of Alternative A-modified, and allocated up to $7 million of HRTF for further study of the HRCS SEIS components not included in the selected Alternative A.

On December 7, 2016, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approved Alternative A and instructed VDOT to continue to work with HRTPO, HRTAC, USACE, Navy, the Port of Virginia, and other parties to advance separate studies to identify appropriate access options around Craney Island to include I-564/I-664 Connectors, I-664/MMMBT and 164/164 Connector. The resolution also directed VDOT to continue to work with HRTPO, HRTAC, USACE, and other parties to advance a separate study of the Bowers Hill Interchange in Chesapeake.

In January 2017, the HRTPO Board directed staff to work with VDOT, HRTAC, and other partners to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for supporting studies on how to move forward with the remaining segments of the SEIS and the Bowers Hill Interchange. The May 1, 2017 Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the HRTPO, VDOT, and HRTAC to advance two separate components:

• $4 million for study of Bowers Hill Interchange following the NEPA process, to be managed by VDOT.

• $3 million for Additional Feasibility Studies of the remaining components of the HRCS SEIS not included in the approved Alternative A, to be managed by the HRTPO. In March 2017, HRTAC approved a contingency of $4 million to be available if additional funding is required for the completion of the HRTPO Feasibility Studies.

• Non-voting members- staff from: o Virginia Port Authority (VPA), US Navy, Army Corps of Engineers, Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA), and Coast Guard o VDOT and HRTAC staffs

• Staff: HRTPO staff

Steering (Policy) Committee • Members:

o elected officers from “local impacted jurisdictions”: Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Va Beach

o representatives from “U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Navy (Navy), and the Port of Virginia, and other parties”

• Staff: HRTPO staff Reports At the end of each phase, the consultant will prepare a report documenting that phase. Phases and Tasks Based on the MOU’s interrelated “feasibility, permitability, and transportation benefits”, the consultant will base overall feasibility on Financial Feasibility, Permitability, and Transportation Benefits (including congestion relief) via the following phases of work:

Attachment 17

Phase I: Goals and Objectives

A. Interview: • members of Working Group and Steering (Policy) Committee • representatives of Stakeholder groups

B. Identify goals and objectives based on the following concepts:

• A 21st Century vision for the future growth of the region • The need for improved connectivity between the Southside and Peninsula • Improved economic vitality, quality of life, resiliency, and accessibility

Phase II: Alternative Identification

Based on the above goals and objectives, identify candidate alternatives.

Phase III: Permitability Screening

The consultant will do an initial screening in this phase identifying any “fatal flaws” or barriers that would prevent various alternatives from advancing to construction. Alternatives will be grouped into three categories:

1. Segments with no apparent fatal flaws that can advance to analysis 2. Segments with fatal flaws that can be removed from further consideration 3. Segments denoted with a “caution” and—depending on transportation benefit—

may also advance to analysis Phase IV: Transportation Benefits, Community Impacts, and Financial Feasibility Analysis

A. Develop study approach.

o Develop appropriate relationship to NEPA o To provide input to HRTPO 2045 LRTP, all forecasts shall be done for year 2045 o 2045 regional scenario planning

Develop scenarios (land use, technology, etc.) in cooperation with HRTPO Develop scenario planning techniques, outreach strategies, tools, etc.

o Use new/improved models, as appropriate o Develop evaluation criteria including, but not limited to, the following:

Transportation Benefit Measures Congestion Accessibility (including Craney Island), Reliability, and Resiliency Multimodalism (excluding rail) Economic impact HRTPO Prioritization Tool score (for 2045 LRTP consideration)

Attachment 17

Community Impacts: Social and Environmental Justice / Title VI

Financial Feasibility Measures Cost-effectiveness

B. Interview and brainstorming:

• members of Working Group and Steering (Policy) Committee • representatives of Stakeholder groups

C. Identify operationally independent candidate projects.

D. Evaluate candidate projects based on criteria and scenarios.

o Minimum set of highways on which to measure impact of the subject projects:

• The entire I-64/I-664 Beltway • I-564 in Norfolk • US17 & US258 from I-664 Suffolk to I-64 Hampton including James River Br. • VA 164 (Western Freeway and MLK Freeway) and Midtown Tunnel • I-264 (oceanfront to Bowers Hill) including Downtown Tunnel

o Based on transportation benefits, community impacts, and financial feasibility,

identify projects considered overall to be feasible. Phase V: Order of Implementation

Determine whether or not implementing the feasible projects in the order of HRTPO Prioritization Tool scores would negatively impact the transportation system (including local streets) during interim periods.

Communication and Outreach The consultant will communicate with:

• the Steering (Policy) Committee via quarterly meetings • the Working Group via meetings scheduled in advance of Steering (Policy) Committee

meetings, with additional Working Group meetings as necessary The consultant will develop:

• study website • interactive public meetings • simulations

Transcribed Public Comments from the

July 20, 2017 HRTPO Board Meeting

The views and opinions expressed during the public comment period do not necessarily reflect the opinion or policy of the HRTPO. Three people requested to address the HRTPO Board at the July 20, 2017 Meeting. Chair Johnson asked them to limit their comments to three minutes. Mr. Ellis James Norfolk Citizen Thank you, Madam Chair. My name is Ellis W. James. I reside in the city of Norfolk. I was going to brag about how Hampton Roads can come together with a voice mighty and strong on offshore drilling and resisting that and seismic testing, something got in the way. This issue of our port security is serious business, and this is not a put down of any of the good people who pay close attention. It's not a put down of military, but the fact of the matter is how could it be more timely to have a study than the one we just heard about? My understanding is from the data I've been able to secure, the port is going to be vulnerable, and that sure throws a monkey wrench in the study that was referenced. My understanding is that the Trump Administration is going to cut the inspection funding in 2018. That's what's proposed. And if we receive all of these new big containers and ships and we don't inspect them carefully, for dirty bombs, attack material and dangerous material, we must not be sleeping well at night or thinking right. There is no excuse for that funding to be cut in order to take funds for the wall in the southwest of this United States. I certainly hope that this body will take a very close look at what's happening at VIT, NIT, and the naval base. We are sitting on top of the largest naval base in the world, and we would invite containers into our port and right on top of our naval base without x-raying them and making sure they don't have something that could wipe out Hampton Roads? That makes no sense to me. I hope that this body will take the close look at that because it was right there on the screen. Thank you, Madam Chair. Ms. Donna Sayegh Portsmouth Citizen Good morning. My name is Donna Sayegh and I live in Portsmouth. Item number 15 discussed the 2045 socioeconomic forecast. In the minutes it stated that the staff received great responses from the localities, that each projection can assist organizations with future planning. This forecast is not an economic development or growth management tool. Then it reported that the projected employment numbers for 2045 are lower due to an aging population and fewer replacement workers in the next generation, that the labor force participation rate is declining and is projected to continue to decline until the 2030s and that established industries that in Hampton Roads are not poised for long-term robust growth. This statement is not accurate. Why do you think we have all these new orders from the General Assembly for new bureaucracies? The statement this forecast is not an

Attachment 20A

economic development or growth management tool, this statement is incorrect. This is a tool for economic development and growth management. Why do you think it was made? This tool is to tell people what the federal government is intending to do with them. Looking at Portsmouth 2040 socioeconomic forecast, it reads there will be a decrease of 261 vehicles in 2045. What is the perceived reason for this? It also reads there will be a decrease in over 3,000 workers by 2045. Why would Portsmouth have that amount of decrease in workers? Why wasn’t the number of public housing units included in this economic forecast since the federal government is dictating what the people must do to get our tax money back to our region? We need to decrease the number of public housing units in each city and county. Another issue to include is how the tolls are affecting the region and how the tolls are affecting Portsmouth. Maybe that's why we're going to having a decrease in vehicles and workers. Maybe these people are going to become a statistic for welfare. I'm tired of taxation without representation. This board is all about money and not about the people in our Virginia. Thanks for listening. Ms. Dianna Howard Virginia Beach Citizen Hello, my name is Dianna Howard. I'm from Virginia Beach and also on the CTAC committee and I’m the chair of the Virginia Beach Tea Party. While I appreciate the roads being built down here in Virginia, in Hampton Roads, let us remember the state, these are state roads and the state said for you to get them funded we're going to give you an extra tax. So we're building these extra roads down here. And while Ms. Grindly Johnson pointed out that she got nine billion dollars’ worth of requests and she only had one billion dollars to spend, we have nine billion dollars’ worth of transportation projects that we need to do down here. So any of that money coming from tolls down here should be going to the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund to help us pay for it. Because I just seen in the paper where there was $24 million of transportation funds that went to build a parking garage in Northern Virginia for an arena. Is that where our transportation funds are supposed to be going to? I would like that answer why that is because there's nothing that irks a taxpayer more than being taxed for one issue and then having it diverted to another. We're talking about using our money wisely. So if we're going to spend transportation money, let's spend it on transportation. So I would like the General Assembly, those of you who are members here, to do something to prevent our transportation dollars to be spent on stuff. Also, the TPO, you have that 2040 plan. Take out the light rail studies that we said no on. We should not be wasting money. Thanks.

The views and opinions expressed during the public comment period do not necessarily reflect

the opinion or policy of the HRTPO.

Four people requested to address the HRTPO Board at the September 21, 2017 Meeting. Chair Johnson asked them to limit their comments to three minutes.

Donna Sayegh Portsmouth Citizen Good morning, my name is Donna Sayegh and I live in Portsmouth. I would like to know how can the Commonwealth Transportation Board change the SMART SCALE HB2 law without it going back to the General Assembly to be changed. For the year 2015-2018 TIP Revision- RSTP Transfer Request for the remaining $57,583 in 2012 funds in the RSTP Reserve Account be allocated to the following project: Purchase 40-foot replacement buses for Hampton Roads Transit. The project is not fully funded and could obligate the funding quickly and HRT concurs with the recommendation. How come there is this much money left over from 2012? This money is taxpayer’s money. These 40 foot buses that I see traveling on Portsmouth roads infuriates me every time I see one or two people sitting in them. If this organization wants to get money from the federal government, which by the way, is our hard earned money given to people to ride the bus because they can’t afford to buy a car. We don’t need 40 foot buses. We need short buses that have some personality not looking like the Tide train. HRT has increased the fare because not enough people are riding the bus to take care of expenses. That’s where the money needs to go, to pay for what we already have. There is no statistics with this report to say what the need is. It’s all about wants, not needs. There is no accountability anywhere up and down this system of government. What we have today is people making decisions who have not presented any information to the citizens. We the people have local boards and commissions that need to obtain information to present to the people before it comes here to be voted on. I’ll continue to say we have taxation without representation. Also in Item D, Turnpike Road you talk about the need for more money because they didn’t assess that there were some environmental issues. Who in the world is looking out for the people? We need to know in Portsmouth what is going on. I’m tired of feeling like we are second class citizens in Portsmouth when we have all this money making Port and Shipyard in our City. Somebody is not representing the people. Thanks for listening. John Gergley, Newport News Citizen Good morning. I would like to address four aspects of the HOT lanes which are major topics around here lately. Basically, the aspects are Economic benefit, congestion relief, control of them and most importantly regressive taxes. The HOT lanes are really regressive taxes. They impact your most vulnerable citizens. The young sailor, because ships are moving back and forth to Newport News and NOB and families are disrupted. The ODU, Norfolk

Attachment 20-B

State, Hampton University, and Thomas Nelson students, who go back and forth; the shipyard apprentices; even McDonald employees. Basically the working poor. Mayor Price, 49% of your constituents are the working poor; Hampton 47%. They won’t be able to afford the mandatory ez pass. The HOT lanes will result in express lanes the well to do or on expense accounts. Most of you will be able to afford them, most of you will be on an expense account or have the money, but your constituents won’t. There will be nothing but Lexus lanes or Audi lanes for lawyers and mayors. Economic benefits. HOT lanes have very little economic benefit. Some don’t even pay for the incremental cost to implement them. Their main benefit is traffic control. That’s not my statement, that’s a statement from David Zimmer of PFM group who you paid their company money to analyze how to spend our money. Mr. Utterback, in July this year, you commented the HOT lanes will increase traffic capacity by 10% to eventually 18%, that’s 43 minutes into the July tape. Why not have increases of 33%? You’ve got a third lane increase traffic capacity by 33%. It really doesn’t give congestion relief. By the way HB 2313 HB2 requires that our money for the regional taxes be spent on projects that have congestion relief. If you are going to spend our money lanes should be wide open, we should be able to take full advantage of the all lanes you put in, not just rich people. Control. I just found out last night that an Australian company, TransUrban, operates the beltway HOT lanes. If there is any profit ever who’s going to get the profit? Is it going to be us or is some foreign company going to get it? Look at what happened to the downtown tunnels. You guys give control to another company to another outfit and we will lose control of our roads that are paid for with our regional taxes. Any questions? Ellis James Norfolk Citizen Thank you madam chair. My name is Ellis W. James and I reside in the City of Norfolk and have done so for a couple of years. I’d like to be sure that each of the communities in this room are paying close attention to what’s happening. The current administration is cutting funding left and right, and we may be exposed in terms of our port security because of that cut. It makes no sense to me personally as a lifelong resident of Norfolk, Virginia, and as a person who has paid attention to what’s going on here in Hampton Roads as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia, to cut the funds that guarantee our security by checking each one of the large containers. Did I mention they are getting bigger and bigger, and the ships are greater and greater? Along with the cut in the funding for examining those containers, we are now finding out there will be a cut in funding for our Coast Guard again. We fought this battle about 12 years ago. These important checks and actions that we need to take as a TPO are extremely important, and need to examine closely because this is not the time to cut our port security when we’re sitting in Norfolk on top of the largest naval base in the world. Thank you madam chairman. Mark Geduldig-Yatrofsky Portsmouth Citizen Good morning madam chair, honorable commissioners and fellow interested parties. I read with interest about the search by Amazon for a second hub for their corporate entity. That

Attachment 20-B

search has occasioned a lot of excitement in various places in our country, including here in Hampton Roads. I was interested to note that one of the requirements, that one of the prerequisites that Amazon was public transportation access. I would say that should dampen the prospects for us in Hampton Roads. It’s a shame because Hampton Roads transit does its best with the limited resources it has to provide transportation services here, but without a dedicated source of funding and a dedicated source of revenue, it struggles. As do the other transit systems within our commonwealth. So, these fifty thousand jobs may slip thru our fingers because of something we have not had the will to remedy. I would ask you all to continue with your legislative packet to put this before the General Assembly. If we have to use the loss of this opportunity to attract a major employer to our region as a poster child for that proposition, do so. Thank you very much.

Mr. Mark Geduldig-Yatrofsky, Portsmouth Citizen, shared his concern that Hampton Roads could lose 50,000 potential jobs from Amazon due to lack of transit options.

A transcription of the public comments made orally during HRTPO Board meetings will be included in the HRTPO Agenda each month. The transcript will also be posted on the HRTPO website when available.

Submitted Public Comments Chair Johnson reported there was one submitted public comment placed as a handout at each seat. SMART SCALE: Proposed Policy Changes for Round 3 Mr. Nick Donohue, Deputy Secretary of Transportation, briefed the board on the proposed changes to the SMART SCALE process. He noted Rounds 1 and 2 were implemented so quickly and with scores for the next round not being submitted until January 2019, staff felt it was an opportune time to evaluate the first two rounds. Looking back at Round 1, $1.4 billion was allocated, with Hampton Roads receiving the largest amount of funding with a total of $332.4 million. Of the allocated funds for Round 1, 91.99% were used for Highway Projects. During Round 2, 81.28% of funds were used for highway projects, with Hampton Roads receiving $250 million the second largest amount. He reported during Round 2, the success rate did decrease due to more applications and less funding. In Round 2, 80% of funds went to highway projects, while 9% went to a rail/transit project to upgrade the commuter line near I-95. He stated there was a 36% increase in the number of projects submitted between Round 1 and Round 2. The High Rise Bridge and Southside Widening project did not make the first round but easily made the second round and was the highest scoring project in the Commonwealth. Deputy Secretary Donohue reported the number of projects by size funded through SMART SCALE is in line with the number of projects by size funded in the FY06-11 Six-Year Improvement Program. He also stated the amount of funding going to projects of a certain size funded through SMART SCALE is in line with the amount of funding going to projects of a certain size funded in the FY06-11 Six-Year Improvement Program. He announced each construction district received more money under SMART SCALE and the State of Good Repair program than with the previous 40-30-30 funding formula.


Attachment 21 A

Deputy Secretary Donohue outlined proposed changes to the process which include: application intake beginning on March 1, 2018; a June 1, 2018 deadline for creation of an application and August 1, 2018 is the application submission deadline. Transportation meetings will be held in September and October to provide training, outreach and to receive public comment on proposed changes. He noted October 20, 2017 is the deadline to submit comments on the Draft SMART SCALE Technical Guide. The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) will review the proposed policy changes for consideration of approval at the October meeting. Consent Agenda The Consent Agenda is as follows: A.

For Your Information Chair Johnson highlighted the items in the For Your Information section of the Agenda packet. Old/New Business Mr. James Utterback, VDOT Hampton Roads District Administrator, stated he was cautiously optimistic regarding the contract for the I-64 Southside Widening and High-Rise Bridge project. He announced the notice of intent to award had been released the day prior to the TPO Board meeting. The award will go through a ten day challenge/protest period, with the CTB potentially awarding the contract in October. He announced VDOT received very good bids and the top bid of $405 million is significantly less than the estimated $600


Attachment 21 A

million budgeted for the project. He also updated the board on the I-64 Segment 3 Peninsula Widening project stating the project will open in procurement as well as proposals in October. VDOT anticipates the contract to be awarded at the December CTB meeting. He explained VDOT extended the I-64/I-264 Interchange bids until the middle of November. He noted eight contractors are currently tied up on the High Rise Bridge project and they would be bidding on this project. He reported the bids will be opened November 15th and will potentially be awarded at the December CTB meeting. He announced the CTB could award $700 million in projects in the next two to three months. He noted VDOT’s planning a ribbon cutting for the first phase of the I-64 Peninsula Widening project. The project is due to be completed December 1st. More information will be forthcoming.

H. 2017 CMAQ/RSTP PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS: FRANKLIN/SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY PROJECT

On September 27, 2016, the HRTPO submitted a request to the Governor to approve the expansion of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) to include the portions of the City of Franklin and Southampton County that lie east of U.S. Route 258. Approval of the MPA expansion was documented in a letter from Secretary of Transportation Layne, dated November 15, 2016. As member localities, Franklin and Southampton County are now eligible to apply for Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds to projects within the Hampton Roads MPA. To account for commitments related to the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund (HRTF) made in Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) between the HRTPO and Franklin and Southampton County executed in July 2013, the HRTPO – in amended and restated MOA – established a one-time RSTP fund set-aside of $2,028,866 to “be made exclusively available to the City and County for an eligible RSTP project(s) located within the MPA”. The RSTP set-aside was split evenly between FY 2018 and FY 2019. Franklin and Southampton County have jointly submitted an RSTP application for the following project:

• US 58/US 258 Interchange Engineering Study

o Brief Description: The “proposed project includes a study of the US 58/US 258 interchange to determine improvements to address traffic issues at the interchange”.

o RSTP Request: $150,000 (FY 2018) Should the HRTPO Board approve the project and allocation of $150,000 FY 2018 RSTP funds, the FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) will be amended to include the new project. In anticipation of HRTPO Board approval of the project, the proposed TIP amendment was made available for public review and comment from September 27, 2017 through October 11, 2017.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the project and RSTP allocation, as well as the associated TIP amendment.


I. TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES (TA) SET-ASIDE PROJECT PROPOSALS

The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), established under MAP-21, provided funding for a variety of transportation activities that were previously eligible for funding under separate programs under SAFETEA-LU, including Transportation Enhancements (TE), Recreational Trails, and Safe Routes to School. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act folded the TAP into the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) as a “Set-aside” capped at $850 million after FY 2017. The VDOT Local Assistance Division (LAD) coordinates the TAP in Virginia. Each year VDOT requests applications for candidate projects for TA Set-Aside funding. The deadline for applications is November 1, 2017, and each proposed project must receive endorsement by the appropriate metropolitan planning organization.

Linda T. Johnson, Chair Michael J. Hipple, Jr., Chair Thomas G. Shepperd, Jr., Vice-Chair Linda T. Johnson, Vice-Chair August 1, 2017 The Honorable Aubrey L. Layne, Jr. Virginia Secretary of Transportation/ Commonwealth Transportation Board Chair 1111 E. Broad Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 RE: Comments on Proposed Changes to the SMART SCALE Policy and Process Dear Secretary Layne: The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) and the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) strongly believe that the SMART SCALE (formerly House Bill 2, or HB2) project prioritization process, implemented in 2015, has demonstrated a significant improvement in how projects are selected by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) to receive allocations of precious transportation dollars. The SMART SCALE method of scoring projects based on an objective, outcome-based process that is transparent to the public and holds decision-makers accountable to taxpayers was a game-changer when it was adopted by the CTB. The HRTPO and HRTAC understand that the CTB is currently considering changes proposed by staff to the SMART SCALE policy and process and appreciate this opportunity to submit comments for your consideration. After careful review of the current SMART SCALE policy and process, as well as the proposed changes presented by SMART SCALE staff to the CTB on June 21, 2017, it is apparent that adoption and implementation of some of the proposed changes could adversely affect the ability of the HRTAC and VDOT to accelerate and deliver Hampton Roads Regional Priority Projects. The HRTPO and HRTAC offer the following comments for consideration by the CTB:

• With regard to Slides 45 and 47 of the June 21, 2017 “SMART SCALE Staff recommendations for improving the process for Round 3” presentation to the CTB, which refer to a Need to define clear rules regarding projects that are fully funded or committed and a proposed Project Eligibility change to Clarify in the policy that SMART SCALE funding is not intended to replace other committed funding sources such as local/regional funding, proffers, and/or other committed state or federal funding resources: o The HRTPO and HRTAC respectfully request that it be made clear in any such policy

change regarding fully funded projects that the policy does not apply to the projects having Hampton Roads Transportation Fund (HRTF) allocations administered by the HRTAC. There are several reasons for our request, including the following:

Attachment 23-B

The Honorable Aubrey L. Layne, Jr. August 1, 2017 Page 2

As you know, the HRTF is generated by additional fuels and sales taxes paid in

Hampton Roads, the majority paid by residents of the region. Virginia law does not allow the HRTF to be taken into consideration when determining the amount of other funding to be made available to Hampton Roads. Referring to the HRTF as the “Fund”, §33.2-2600 of the Code of Virginia states that The amounts deposited into the Fund and the distribution and expenditure of such amounts shall not be used to calculate or reduce the share of federal, state, or local revenues otherwise available to participating localities.

By law, the HRTAC must use HRTF monies to build large-scale, regionally-significant projects. Referring to the HRTAC as the “Commission”, §33.2-2600 of the Code of Virginia states that The Commission shall give priority to those projects that are expected to provide the greatest impact on reducing congestion for the greatest number of citizens residing within Planning District 23 and shall ensure that the moneys shall be used for such construction projects. As a result, nearly all of the Hampton Roads Regional Priority Projects – the projects on which HRTAC is allocating HRTF moneys – are on the Interstate system. It is neither fair nor appropriate to expect that such projects should be carried out without significant state and federal funding participation.

In order for HRTAC and VDOT to receive CTB approval to enter into a project agreement, the agreement must include a detailed plan showing that all necessary funds are available to allow completion of the project. To maintain the aggressive schedules associated with the Regional Priority Projects, the HRTAC has allocated HRTF moneys to fully fund projects that the HRTAC and HRTPO believe would be very competitive under SMART SCALE – with the expectation that some HRTF allocations may be replaced with state and/or federal funding received as a result of a successful SMART SCALE application. Taking into account the HRTAC, HRTPO, VDOT, and CTB processes and schedules, as well as the two-year cycle to apply for funding via SMART SCALE, it would be impossible to maintain the successful and aggressive schedules without fully funding the projects with large allocations from the HRTF. The Standard Project Agreements between the HRTAC and VDOT currently address the possibility of allocation of additional federal and/or state funds to the project – such as resulting from the SMART SCALE process – following execution of the agreements.

Attachment 23-B

The Honorable Aubrey L. Layne, Jr. August 1, 2017 Page 3

• With regard to the Project Eligibility requirements included in the SMART SCALE Policy Guide,

we respectfully request that the policy be changed to require that localities obtain a resolution of support from the relevant regional entity regardless of whether they are applying for a Corridor of Statewide Significance or Regional Networks project type. This would provide MPOs the opportunity to ensure that projects being submitted under SMART SCALE were consistent with the MPO’s Fiscally-Constrained Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). As a result of SMART SCALE Rounds 1 and 2, a number of projects that were not consistent with the HRTPO LRTP received funding. That made it necessary to add the projects to the LRTP and remove other projects in order to maintain fiscal-constraint. The HRTPO and HRTAC believe that was an unintended consequence of the SMART SCALE process.

The HRTPO and HRTAC appreciate the work of the CTB and all involved with the SMART SCALE process. We firmly believe the process works and appreciate this opportunity to provide input as you work to make the process even better. Sincerely,

Linda T. Johnson Chair

Military expansion and new business viability in Hampton Roads panel discussion Mr. Robert Crum, HRTPO Executive Director led a panel discussion on military expansion and business viability and specifically how it relates to transportation in Hampton Roads. Panelist included Bryan Stephens, President and CEO Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, Michael Kuhns, President and CEO, Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Craig Quigley, Executive Director, Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance, Ms. Julia Rust, Chair tHRive Young Professional Group Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Jemal Harris, Director of Economic Advancement for the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. When asked how business is impacted by public transit, Bryan Stephens, stated "From a business perspective, we look at the impact transportation has on the business community--it's either an enabler or an inhibitor, we need to make it an enabler.” “We have a fantastic planning and funding system for our roads, but you have to look at transportation as a holistic approach, you have to look at rail, light rail, air service, public transportation, etc." Mr. Craig Quigley, briefed the committee on the needs of the military with regard to transportation. He stated “it’s the business of the military to be able to move large quantities of people and stuff into and out of the region as quickly as possible”, he added the military previously had concerns about the surface road system in Hampton Roads however that perception has changed since they now see fully funded projects underway. In regards to Public Transportation military members would only be able to use if a viable option was available meaning the stops would need to be near their homes and bases and operate on a schedule that meets their needs. Mr. Michael Kuhns, fielded a question regarding air service on the Peninsula. Mr. Kuhns responded by stating after the airports legal issues conclude hopefully in September he expects resurgence for the airport. He announced the Convention and Visitor Bureaus, the hospitality industry and the Chamber of Commerce would work together to promote air service on the Peninsula something that hasn’t happened in the past. Ms. Julia Rust, and Mr. Jemal Harris, enlightened the panel with the millennial perspective on transportation in Hampton Roads. They agreed that young professionals are looking for three things when moving into and staying in a region: job opportunities, environment and recreation. Mr. Harris stated that lack of options in Hampton Roads for public transportation is a concern and residents feel like they have to drive everywhere. He also stated that connectivity needs to be a focus; residents need to be able to connect not only to other cities in Hampton Roads and the Peninsula but to other cities with more ease and less cost. Mr. Rust stated that there is a stigma for young professionals traveling across the tunnels. This stigma has an economic impact since millennials will only spend money on their side of the water. A poll conducted among tHRive membership found public and private transportation was at the top of the list of issues that matter most too young professionals in Hampton Roads.

Ms. Dawn Odom, VDOT Hampton Roads District Planning and Investment Manager, followed up on several questions she was asked following her presentation on the Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) during the June TTAC meeting:

• Questions regarding SMART SCALE funding for the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) project – Ms. Odom referred to comments on this topic by the Secretary of Transportation to the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission during its meeting of June 15, 2017 and stated the Secretary clarified in those comments the State’s intent to participate in the HRBT project.

• Questions regarding Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) funding in the SYIP – Ms. Odom stated that many NVTA-funded projects are not included in the SYIP – that only projects that are administered by VDOT or that include funding that must be approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) are included in the SYIP. Projects that are fully-funded by NVTA and local funds and are not administered by VDOT do not show up in the SYIP.

Attachment 24-B


• Question regarding the “Other Funds” revenue source that makes up a large portion of the funding on certain Northern Virginia projects – Ms. Odom stated the “Other” category of funding for Northern Virginia includes funding from a third party – the concessionaire involved with the project. The “Other” category is not funding from VDOT or the CTB.

• Question regarding the current available balance for the State of Good Repair (SGR) Program – Ms. Odom stated those funds will eventually be allocated to new projects. She noted that a new needs assessment will come out in FY 2018 which may change the amount of money that goes into the four SGR “buckets” in later years. She further noted that the majority of the available balance is in the last two years of the SYIP and will be affected by the new formula resulting from the new needs assessment.

• Concern regarding the public comment period for the FY 2018 – FY 2023 SYIP – Ms. Odom stated she has forwarded the concern about the public comment period focusing on the SMART SCALE process instead of the full draft SYIP to the VDOT Central Office.

Mr. Jitender Ramchandani, DRPT Transit Planning and Project Development Manager, reported the draft report for the HB1359 Transit Revenue Capital Advisory committee is on the DRPT website for review. The report examines additional sources for transit capital method prioritization of transit capital revenue. DRPT staff is currently making revisions and the report will be submitted to the General Assembly in August. Mr. Jeff Florin, Senior Director of Port Development, Virginia Port Authority (VPA), reported the North Gate opened providing 26 new lanes. In August, a 14,400 TEU vessel the largest ship that can go through the Panama Canal will arrive at the Port. He explained with the larger volumes of cargo coming into the Port, Hampton Roads needs to make sure there is sufficient road and rail capacity to support the increase. There were no comments from the Navy.

Mr. Mike Kimbrel, HRTPO Principal Transportation Engineer stated that as a result of excess Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funding on a completed project being returned to the HRTPO RSTP Reserve Account in April, there is currently $674,656 in FY 2012 funds available to allocate to current RSTP projects. Since it is important to get older funds obligated and expended as soon as possible, in the agenda for the Transportation Programming Subcommittee (TPS) meeting on July 21, 2017, HRTPO staff requested that members review their current RSTP projects and notify HRTPO staff by August 4, 2017 of any projects that could benefit by an allocation of FY 2012 RSTP funds. The following requests were received:

• Elbow Road Extended Phase II (UPC 15828) in Virginia Beach • Funding Request: $500,000 transfer from RSTP Reserve Account • Funds would be used to advance design of the second phase (Phase IIC) of the overall

project. The Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase is currently slated to begin in FY 2022, so the additional funding would advance the phase by four years. The City has a firm currently under contract, so would be able to obligate the funds immediately


Attachment 24-C

and issue a work order to begin design for Phase IIC as soon as the funds are available.

• Turner Drive/Benns Church Boulevard Intersection Improvements (UPC 103021) in Isle of

Wight County • Funding Request: $117,073 transfer from RSTP Reserve Account • The project currently shows a construction shortfall of $117,073. Construction

advertisement is scheduled for January-February 2018 and construction is expected to begin in Spring 2018.

HRTPO staff has recommended that the remaining $57,583 in FY 2012 funds in the RSTP Reserve Account be allocated to the following project:

• Purchase 40-foot Replacement Buses (UPC T11778) – Hampton Roads Transit o The project is not fully-funded and could obligate the funding quickly. o HRT concurs with the recommendation of HRTPO staff.

Should the HRTPO Board approve the RSTP fund transfers described above, the FY 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) will be amended to update the funding information associated with the affected projects. This request has been made available for public review and comment from August 30, 2017 through September 13, 2017.

2017 CMAQ/RSTP Project Selection Process -

Mr. Mike Kimbrel, HRTPO Principal Transportation Engineer, briefed the committee on the 2017 CMAQ/RSTP project selection process. He noted the HRTPO is responsible for project selection and funding allocations for the CMAQ/RSTP. He stated CMAQ provides federal funding for projects that primarily help improve air quality and RSTP provides federal funding for a wide variety of projects. FY 24 mark versus penciled in request for CMAQ is as follows the mark is $14,243,448 with revised penciled in requests totaling $13,911,525 leaving a revised balance of $331,923. The RSTP mark is $35,645,134 with revised penciled in requests of $33,314,126 leaving a revised balance of $2,331,008. Given that little funding remains to allocate to new projects the Transportation Programming Subcommittee recommends:

1. Applications for new CMAQ and/or RSTP projects not be accepted this year.

2. FY 2024 CMAQ and RSTP funding be allocated to the previously approved projects per the penciled-in request.

3. Remaining FY 2024 funds be allocated to the HRTPO CMAQ and RSTP Reserve Accounts.

Mr. Kimbrel stated the recommended action is HRTPO Board approval of the FY 2024 CMAQ and RSTP projects and allocations as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

Mr. Curry Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the FY 2024 CMAQ and RSTP projects and allocations; seconded by Ms. Kassel. The Motion carried.

The State of Transportation in Hampton Roads 2017: Draft

Mr. Keith Nichols, HRTPO Principal Transportation Engineer, presented the draft version of the State of Transportation 2017 in Hampton Roads. He stated the State of Transportation report includes information on all facets of the Hampton Roads transportation system. The report is released annually as a part of the HRTPO Congestion Management Process and Performance Management efforts. Looking at the data, trends are improving in the region. Airports had seen decreases annually since the peak in 2007. In 2016, 1.8 million travelers boarded aircraft and continuing into 2017 losses are trending the other direction. Passenger Rail saw a slight decrease but in comparison to the last decade rail has increased about 53 per cent in 2016. The Port had a record 2016 in terms of the amount of tonnage, 21 tons of general cargo in 2016 with 2017 expecting to be another banner year. Bridge conditions improved greatly, in 2015 over 80 bridges were deficient in 2016 that number is down to 64 bridges. He reported only 7 percent of VDOT maintained pavement was classified as poor condition. This is the best of any regions in the State. Roadway travel saw a 5% increase based on 70 continuous count stations and is still growing on pace to set a record in 2017. Transit usage is going down in the region, peaked in 2012 but has decreased every year since. This is a national trend with Uber and Lyft being among contributing factors. Roadway safety crashes are increasing however the number of fatalities has not increased. State legislation report is now included in the State of Transportation report. He also mentioned the Federal performance measures will also be included in this report.

The draft version will be open for public review and comment until September 22 nd with approval of the final document being requested at the October TTAC and TPO Board meetings.

Map-21/FAST Act Performance Measures and Targets

Mr. Keith Nichols, HRTPO Principal Transportation Engineer, explained the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (Map-21) surface transportation legislation established performance and outcome-based program. As a part of this program, Map 21 (and the FAST act) requires that States and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) prepare and use a federally-established performance measures. He noted states with MPOs must also set targets and monitor progress for each of these performance measures and TPO staff will work in cooperation with the TTAC to produce these targets. He requested to establish a Performance Measure and Targets Working Group and the following members agreed to participate: Bryan Stilley (NN) Jeff Florin (VPA) Steve Froncillo (CH) Dwight Jenkins (DMV) James Wright (PO) LJ Hansen (SU) Keisha Branch (HRT) Eric Stringfield (HRT) Derrick Snowden (HRT)

Connected and Automated Vehicles – Implications for Planning and Operations

Ms. Cathy McGee, P.E., Virginia Transportation Research Council Director of Research, presented research data regarding connected and automated vehicle implications for planning and operations. She stated planners tend to think in terms of what changes will be seen in the next twenty years and how those changes will affect planning assumptions. She defined a connected car as one that shares information from vehicle to vehicle or vehicle to roadway. Vehicle to vehicle communications or vehicle to infrastructure communications can send information to increase situational awareness and allow drivers to make more informed decisions. Vehicle to vehicle communication primarily provides a safety application which assists with collision avoidance and blind spot warnings. Vehicle to infrastructure communication assists with mobility and helps move vehicles through the network more efficiently. Queue detection technology notifies a vehicle if there is a slowdown and can send a broadcast to prevent last minute heavy breaking. She listed implications of connected vehicle deployment to include safety Vehicle to vehicle communication alone may address up to 81% of crashes involving unimpaired drivers, may improve traffic flow and reduce delays, and may reduce CO2 and fuel consumption by 11 percent. She stated VDOT is taking an evolutionary approach with focus on implementation from the beginning, targeting existing challenges with new technology-based solutions and supporting private development with minimal regulation. FY 2015-2018 TIP: Quarterly Snapshot

Kathlene Grauberger, HRTPO Transportation Planner, provided a TIP update for the fourth quarter of 2017. She briefed the committee on projects with significant construction, highlighting the I-64 Peninsula Widening Segments 1 and 2 Projects. She also informed the committee of two projects with first expenditures in construction (April- May 2017) - the Courthouse Highway intersection at Foursquare Road, Isle of Wight for $636,492 and I-64 Northampton Boulevard Interchange modification $3,460 located in Norfolk. She reported the regional priority projects total expenditures as of May 2017 are 1-64/I-264 Interchange Phase 1 total cost $157 million, total expenditures $7 million; I-64/I-264 Interchange Improvements Phase II total cost $190 million, with total expenditures of $14 million; I-64 Southside Widening and High-Rise Bridge Phase I total cost $600 million total expenditures $10 million. She reported there are 35 Active CMAQ/RSTP projects with no expenditures in the past two quarters (Jan-May 2017) consisting of 2 cancelled projects, 26 completed projects awaiting financial close, 6 projects delayed and 1 project with work ongoing to be billed. Next steps include coordination with CMAQ and RSTP project sponsors to determine the reason for stalled projects and how to get them moving and whether funds should be reallocated to other projects.

What is the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization?The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) is a federally mandated transporta-tion policy board comprised of representatives from local, state, and federal governments, transit agen-cies, and other stakeholders. Responsible for transportation planning and programming for the Hampton Roads area, one of the core functions of the HRTPO is the development and maintenance of the Transpor-tation Improvement Program (TIP).

The HRTPO TIP is a four-year program for the implementation of surface transportation projects in Hampton Roads. These projects include transit, highway, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and freight-related projects. Before any federally-funded and/or regionally-significant project can be built in Hampton Roads, it must be approved by the HRTPO Board and included in the TIP.

What is the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)?

The TIP is developed by the HRTPO in cooperation with the Virginia Depart-ment of Transportation, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transpor-tation, and local public transit agencies. In addition, the public is provided op-portunities to review and comment at various stages during the development of the TIP. Once the TIP has been approved by the HRTPO Board and the Gover-nor, it is incorporated into the statewide TIP, which is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration for approval.

How is the TIP created?

Projects in the TIP may be funded by federal, state, local or private funds, or any combination of such funds. For a listing of the current funding sources, see Section III, page 4 of the TIP Document.

How are projects in the TIP funded?

Yes, changes are routinely made to the TIP by way of amendments or administrative modifications. The TIP may be amended in order to add, change, or delete projects. TIP amendments must be approved by the HRTPO Board. The TIP amendment process also includes opportunities for public review and comment. By signing up for the HRTPO E-Newsletter, you can ensure that you will be notified of opportunities to comment on TIP amendments. Proposed TIP amendments are also posted on the HRTPO website under Public Notices. Administrative modifications involve minor changes to projects that do not involve Board approval or public review.

Can the TIP be changed?

There is never enough funding available to make all of the transportation improvements desired, and since the vast majority of transportation funding comes from federal and state taxes, it is important that the public have a say in how and where transportation dollars are spent. The TIP provides that informa-tion for each project, including cost estimates, schedules, funding allocations, and expenditures. The TIP website (www.hrtpotip.org) also includes an interactive mapping tool that allows the user to access project information by location.

Why is the TIP important to me?
