WHEREAS, Title 23, United States Code, Section 134; and Title 49, United States Code, Section 5303,require each MPO to develop and approve a Transportation lmprovement Program (TlP); andWHEREAS, GBNRTC in cooperation with the New York State Department of Transportation, has reviewedand documented compliance of the GBNRTC planning process with all existing federal rules andregulations, including Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21't Century (MAP-21) requirements; andWHEREAS, GBNRTC, in accordance with all federal requirements for a TIP has developed a staged five-year integrated program of federally funded highway, transit and other transportation projects for theGreater Buffalo-Niagara region, that:

* includes a priority listing of projects and project segments to be carried out within the time frame of theTIP,

* is financially constrained with realistic estimates of total project cost and revenues expected for theprogram periods,

* includes projects which are consistent with the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan Update,* includes projects identified based on the priority merit and certainty of financing developed through a

program development process,

* includes consideration of elderly and disabled transportation services and the mandates of theAmericans with Disabilities Act of 1990,

WHEREAS, extended consultation efforts have been made with appropriate State and local agencies toincrease involvement in the planning process and development of the TIP; and

WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) promulgated the 2008 B-HourOzone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAOS) on May 21, 2012 to be effective on July 20, 2012classifying the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan statistical area as in attainment for the 2008 ozonestandard;

WHEREAS, the USEPA promulgated a new rule on July 20,2012 revoking the Transportation Conformityrequirements for 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS effective on July 20,2013; and

WHEREAS, as a result, the GBNRTC will not be required to make a transportation conformity determinationunder the new 2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT / PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS

The Greater BuffaloNiagara Regional Transportation Council shares responsibility with the New York StateDepartment of Transportation for cooperatively developing transportation plans and programs that ensure anintegratedmultimodaltransportationsystemservesandsupportsmetropolitancommunitydevelopmentandthesocialgoalsoftheGreaterBuffaloNiagararegion. The intentofaTransportation ImprovementProgram(TIP) in itssimplestterms is tocarryout the regions transportationvisionasexplained in theprevioussection,within theconstraintsofavailablefunding.

GBNRTChashadas itsgoaltheselectionofprojectsthataddresstheneedsoftheregionasdefined intheLRPaswellastakeadvantageoftheresultsofstudiesthathavebeencompletedthroughtheUnifiedPlanningWorkProgram.In order to do thisGBNRTC typically undergoes a defined Strategy Scripting process. The elements of this strategyscriptinginclude:

Considerationofshorttermplanswithaviewas towhatmayyieldapotentialprojectwhilestill focusingonassetmanagement;

Needsidentificationinvolvingareviewofdatasources,visualizationtechniques,andpriorityrankings; Needs assessment focusing on public review, program scenarios and prioritization, as well as air quality

Strategy Scripting process was overwhelmed by drastic funding reductions and new program directives whichnecessitatedafreshlookatboththecurrent20112015programandtheabilitytoevenconsidernewprojectadditions.

BothMAP21 andNYSDOTsComprehensiveProgramUpdate (CPU) focusedon systempreservation and safety.TheCPU preservation first strategy focusedonpreventive,correctiveanddemandworkutilizingassetmanagementprinciplesanddatadrivendecisionmaking;andhighestprioritywasgiventopreservethefunctionalityoftheexistinghighway system.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS CongestionManagementProcess

Federal transportation legislation requires that each metropolitan planning area in the United States have aCongestionManagementProcess (CMP). TheCongestionManagementProcess isaplanning toolusedbyGBNRTCtoanalyze the transportation system and plan and implement travel demand reduction and operationalmanagementstrategiestoreduceorminimizecongestion.ThepurposeoftheCMPisto:

Manageorreducetheexistingcongestion Efficientlyutilizeexistingtransportationfacilities Maximizethemobilityofpersonsandgoods KeepfuturecongestionproblemsfromoccurringA CMP is a systematic process for managing congestion that provides information on transportation system

performanceandonalternativestrategiesforalleviatingcongestionandenhancingthemobilityofpersonsandgoodstolevels that meet State and local needs. The CMP represents one component of the larger regional transportationplanningprocess;itdoesnotoperateindependentlynordoesitaccountforallaspectsofplanning.Congestionisnottheonly variable tobe consideredwhendetermining transportationpriorities. The roleof theCMP is toprovidepublicagencies and decisionmakers with a tool to examine congestion in greater detail. Additional federal requirementsregardingtheCMParenecessary inErieandNiagaraCounties,astheregion isclassifiedasanonattainmentTMAforozone.Therequirementsarethat:

STATUS OF THE 2011-2015 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The TIP is a dynamic document that provides for the modification of existing projects, and the advancement of new ones throughout the program period. In preparation for the new 2014-2018 TIP, changes to the previously approved 2011-2015 Transportation Improvement Program were documented. The first TIP closeout item involves the disposition of current TIP projects both in terms of those no longer on the program and those phasing changes that affected a projects schedule. The second closeout item summarizes those formal actions taken to manage the 2011-2015 TIP, including the addition of new projects. The GBNRTC has a rigorous set of change control thresholds and approval processes (discussed elsewhere in this document) which are used when dealing with the regions Transportation Improvement Program. The level of action required is dependent upon the type of change being made. All actions are documented and posted on the GBNRTC website. These changes collectively constitute a progress report on the accomplishments made toward implementation of the program and towards advancing the goals and objectives set forth in the long-range metropolitan plan.
