GTC

Richard Perrin reported:

GTC staff has expended a large amount of effort and made significant progress on the development of the strategic plan for fiscal years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017. Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analyses were conducted for five Key Result Areas and associated action items have been identified and prioritized. Richard thanked staff for their work in advancing this initiative. GTC worked with the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) and NYSAMPO to develop and submit comments on proposed FHWA/FTA policy guidance on transit representation on MPOs by the October 30 deadline. Fisher Associates has taken the lead on scheduling a roundtable of federal and state elected officials to discuss transportation funding issues, and is working with GTC staff, Monroe County DOT, and others on this event. Richard thanked Fisher Associates for its efforts in facilitating the roundtable.

Regional Traffic Count Collection: There is no funding for additional counts in the FY 2013-2014 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), activities will be limited to analysis and dissemination of the data by GTC staff. GTC staff submitted a proposal for the FY 2014-2015 UPWP to conduct counts in the seven counties that responded they would participate in the program. Richard explained that in addition to coordinating with the participating counties, GTC is also working with the state to avoid duplication of effort.

LRTP Update/Implementation: The development of a transportation system status report that provides updated data for the Long Range Transportation Plan for the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region 2035 (LRTP 2035) performance measures and the activities accomplished since the adoption of the LRTP 2035 is continuing. Work activities include data analysis, amplification of relevant developments affecting LRTP 2035 Emerging Opportunities and Issues, and document layout and design.

Genesee-Finger Lakes Regional Critical Transportation Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment: The draft Request for Proposals (RFP) has been revised based on comments by member agencies and other stakeholders. The draft RFP has been provided to the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYSDHSES), whose comments have been requested by November 15. GTC staff expect to issue the RFP shortly after considering any NYSDHSES comments.

Diversion Route Planning Initiative: GTC staff is finalizing the draft response to the consultant's letter with guidance on our expectations for the remainder of the project.

GTC will be participating in an FHWA-sponsored project on incorporating reliability performance measures into the CMP.

Greater Rochester Regional Commuter Choice Program: GTC staff submitted a FY 2014-2015 UPWP proposal to continue the website, as well as increase its marketing. GTC staff provided a demonstration of how the site could be used to coordinate rides provided by volunteer drivers of human service agencies to Heritage Christian Services, Lifespan, and Medical Motor Service on October 31.

Richard Perrin stated that the FY 2014-2015 UPWP Call for Projects was issued on Friday, September 13. An applicant workshop was held on Wednesday, September 25 at the Henrietta Town Hall.

Nineteen proposals requesting $1,222,400 in federal transportation planning funds were received by the Friday, October 18 deadline. This is slightly fewer than the 22 proposals that were received requesting $1,322,255 in FY 2013-2014. Richard noted that there is $1,070,361 ($802,589 FHWA PL and $267,772 FTA MPP) available for programming in the FY 2014-2015 UPWP which is very similar to the $1,097,760 ($882,760 FHWA PL and $215,000 FTA MPP) in funding that was available in in FY 2013-2014.

The submitted proposals, an associated summary, and the evaluation form used by GTC staff were distributed to the UPWP Development Committee (UDC) on Saturday, October 19.

The UDC will meet as necessary to review the proposals and discuss additional factors based on their professional judgment. The first meeting of the UDC will be held after this Planning Committee meeting and additional meetings have been scheduled for November 26, December 5, and December 9.

A draft FY 2014-2015 UPWP will be developed for presentation to and consideration by the Planning Committee at its January 9, 2014 meeting. Based on any changes made at that meeting, an initial draft program will be approved for 30-day public review and a final draft program for Board adoption will be recommended by the Planning Committee at its February 13, 2014 meeting. The Board will consider the final draft FY 2014-2015 UPWP at its March 13, 2014 meeting and the adopted UPWP will take effect April 1, 2014.

3. Update on TIP Project Delivery Review (GTC staff)

GTC staff had intended to provide a presentation to the TIP Development Committee (TDC) at its October 31 meeting. However, given the number of TIP amendments received and required follow-up activities on them, this did not occur. GTC staff are considering scheduling a special meeting of the TDC to ensure there is adequate time allowed for consideration and discussion.

Dan Hallowell noted that NYSDOT provided its annual report to FHWA regarding project delivery. He indicated that NYSDOT measures project delivery in two ways the program, as amended, and the program, not amended (i.e., the program in place at the beginning of the Federal Fiscal Year). Dan stated that this region delivered 88 percent of the not amended program. This region was the only one to exceed the statewide goal and indicates that we delivered the program we intended to in FFY 2013.

Dan Hallowell congratulated Richard Perrin on his recent election as President of the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.
