MAP-21Core Program Structure

FHWA provides Guidance for Interstate and National Highway System (NHS)

FTA provides rulemaking for Transit

Performance Measures

Highway versus Transit

Highway Standards are more straightforward

Transit Standards are more varied, operation needs, facility elements, infrastructure etc.

Clear standards need to be developed.

State of Good Repair

Lump sum total at federal level for all apportioned programs

States total share apportionment calculated

Total share divided by program at state level

Core Formula Program Funding

California the only state with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Delegation on Highway Projects.

Option now available for all States as well as Transit Projects Through via Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

NEPA Delegation

Funded at $10B a year

Closely follows current STP, preserving current

Federal Aid capital projects (transit, bike, ped, and

highway.)

50% of funds to be sub-allocated based on

population; remainder used in any area of State

Surface Transportation Program (STP)

Continues program, funded at $2.2B a year.

A flexible funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ)

Incorporated in Surface Transportation Program (STP)

No dedicated Freight or Border funding.

Higher Federal Share

Only Highway projects

National Strategic Freight Plan

States are recommended to create state freight plans and freight advisory committees.

Freight Provisions

Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) Funded at $450M per year TTP replaces Indian Reservation Roads (IRR)

Formula: 27% on eligible road miles 39% on tribal population 34% divided based on SAFTEA-LU Tribal Shares for IRR

The new formula is to be phased in over a 4-year transition period with funds distributed based on tribal shares in FY 2011, with remainder using the new formula.

Consolidation of several ADA, pedestrian and bicycle programs.

Includes Safe Routes to Schools, Transportation Enhancement, and Recreational Trails.

Program reduces funding by 32% for California for the 2013 Fiscal Year (From $106M to $72M)

New Starts

Greater emphasis on TIFIA usage. 2013 $750M 2014 $1B Emphasis on long term Financial Planning TIFIA assistance must be repaid through

dedicated revenue sources that secure project obligations, such as tolls, other user fees, or payments received under a public-private partnership agreement

TIFIA-Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act 

2013 Fiscal year maintain funding level

Goal to align MAP-21 funding types to existing State distributions for 2013, keeping funded projects programmed.
