1. Overview of the Draft 2017-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Green

Bay Urbanized Area.

L. Conard provided an overview of the Draft Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) via PowerPoint.

Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act), the current federal transportation law, requires that MPO prepare a TIP annually. A TIP contains a five-year program of projects including the following:

Highway & road projects

Public transit – operating & capital

Transportation services for seniors & individuals with disabilities including vehicles, mobility management and operations

Transportation facilities – bicycle lanes, sidewalks, trails and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) activities

L. Conard noted that the TIP includes projects that fall under nine different federal funding programs. Programs that the MPO determines what projects are funded include:

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG)

Transportation Alternatives (TA)

Section 5310 – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities

Programs that the federal highway or federal transit determines what projects are funded include:

National Highway Performance Program (NHPP)

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG)

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

Highway Safety Improvement Program – Railroad Safety (HSIP)

Incorporated into a State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). 2. Public Hearing: Draft 2017-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Green

Bay Urbanized Area and Green Bay Metro 2017 Program of Projects.

L. Conard asked three times if anyone else wished to speak. Hearing no comment, L. Conard closed the public hearing.

3. Approval of the minutes of the August 3, 2016 regular meeting of the Brown County Planning Commission Board of Directors. A motion was made by G. Pahl and seconded by A. Gauthier to approve the minutes of the August 3, 2016, regular meeting of the Brown County Planning Commission Board of Directors. Motion carried.

4. Overview of the Federal Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program.

C. Runge provided an overview of the program via PowerPoint. In the past Section 5310 program was a capital program, which provided funds to help purchase specialized transportation vehicles, and approximately four years ago the program was combined with what was the New Freedom Program to create the current program. Under the current program, at least 55% of program funds must be used for capital purchases and remaining funds can be used for capital or operating expenses. The federal share of the project costs under Section 5310 program is 80%. C. Runge stated approximately four years ago the urbanized area exceeded 200,000 people, and when that occurred the WisDOT, which used to administer the program, turned it over to the Planning Commission and Green Bay Metro to administer locally. For calendar year 2017 our funding amount is just over $161,000 for the urbanized area. Ten percent of this funding must be used for program administration for Green Bay Metro. C. Runge stated that staff are in the process of going through the application, review and approval process. The first step in the process was a 5-person subcommittee of the TCC that met on August 30th and came up with a group ranking and will present to the full TCC on September 20th. Staff will then present the TCC recommendations to the BCPC Board at the October 5th meeting for final approval. C. Runge reviewed the list of agencies that make up the Brown County TCC membership.

Discussion occurred on qualifying - income level, age, physical disabilities - for services under the program.

5. Overview of the plan development process for the 2016 Coordinated Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan for Brown County, Wisconsin.

L. Conard provided an overview of the plan process via PowerPoint. Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act), the current federal transportation law, requires the creation of a “locally developed coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan”. In cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Brown County Planning Commission (BCPC) staff is responsible for this requirement in Brown County. Plan process requires the following elements:

1. Complete an Inventory of Transportation Services in the county that serves seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low income individuals.

2. Facilitate a County Meeting which includes representatives from public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human service providers, as well as participation from the public.

3. Develop an Action Plan. 4. Review and approve a Program of Projects falling under Federal Section 5310.

L. Conard noted past awards under Section 5310:

Vehicles for the Curative Connections Transportation Program

Vehicle for Disabled American Veterans (DAV)

Accessible passenger shelters for Green Bay Metro L. Conard emphasized the significance of the Action Plan component:

identifies gaps & concerns with transportation services

identifies possible solutions

identifies the responsible parties; and

identifies roadblocks to implementation L. Conard noted that the Coordinated Plan is unique in that it does not go to any local commission, committee, or government body for approval. It is a plan developed by the county meeting participants. MPO staff facilitates the meeting and attendees suggest items to include in the plan. MPO staff takes the suggestions back to the office and writes the plan and submits it to the meeting participants for review. The completed plan will be submitted to WisDOT staff. WisDOT staff reviews the plan and determines if the federally required plan process was followed and required elements were included in the plan. If found to be the case, WisDOT staff will notify the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) that the requirements have been met. This will allow federal Section 5310 funds to flow into the Green Bay Urbanized Area.

6. Discussion and Approval of the Water Quality Grant Agreement between Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Brown County Planning Commission.

C. Runge summarized the agreement for $45,115 in grant funding. A motion was made by S. Grenier and seconded by G. Pahl to accept the Agreement between Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Brown County Planning Commission for Water Quality Management Planning Assistance. Motion carried.

7. Presentation of the Green Bay Metropolitan Area Transportation System Performance

Measures. K. Vang reviewed the Green Bay Metropolitan Area Transportation System Performance Measures via PowerPoint. The seven performance categories include:

Transportation structures & pavement condition

Transportation study

Highway & street operation, safety & accessibility

Bicycle & pedestrian facilities

Public transportation

Transportation services for seniors & individuals with disabilities

Freight transportation Discussion occurred on studies related to reduction of motor vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle crashes and alcohol-related crashes in Brown County. G. Pahl asked if road rage was being tracked. C. Runge indicated that road rage was not specifically being tracked. Discussion occurred on congestion locations during a.m. peak, mid-day peak, and p.m. peak from 2014-2015.

8. Director’s Report

C. Runge stated that we have one vacant position on the board for the City of DePere and we have a candidate interested in serving but has scheduling conflicts with meeting at 6:30p.m on Wednesdays. C. Runge asked board members present if there would be a willingness or ability to meet earlier on Wednesdays around 4:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. C. Runge indicated that staff will follow-up with a survey to the board members.

9. Brown County Planning Commission staff updates on work activities during the month of August, 2016.

A motion was made by B. Erickson and seconded by M. Harris to receive and place on file the Brown County Planning Commission staff updates on work activities for the month of August, 2016.

10. Other matters.

None.

11. Adjourn.

A motion was made by G. Pahl and seconded by A. Gauthier to adjourn. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

ORDER OF BUSINESS C. Runge opened the meeting at 10:15 a.m. 1. Approval of the June 13, 2016, TCC meeting minutes.

A motion was made by M. Schlautman, seconded by S. Popp, to approve the June 13, 2016, TCC meeting minutes. Motion carried.

2. Recommendation to the Brown County Planning Commission (BCPC) Board of Directors

regarding CY 2017 Section 5310 Program funding awards. C. Runge stated that in May of 2014, Brown County Planning Commission (BCPC) staff was informed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) that the initial application review and scoring process for Section 5310 Program funds needed to be conducted by a group of four or five people. To fulfill this requirement for the CY 2017 Section 5310 Program, a five-person subcommittee of the TCC was formed to review project applications, score them, and attend one subcommittee meeting to discuss the scores and develop funding recommendations to present to the full TCC. On August 30, 2016, the Brown County TCC Section 5310 Program Application Review Subcommittee met to discuss and develop overall scores for the following two applications:

Curative Connections1: Funding for a minibus with eight ambulatory positions and one wheelchair position and a minivan with five ambulatory positions and one wheelchair position.

1 Discussion under this item is in regard to the transportation program offered by Curative Connections as of July 1, 2015. Prior to

this date, the service was provided by the Lakeland Chapter of the American Red Cross. The program offers demand-response transportation services to seniors and qualifying individuals with disabilities with use of a small-medium bus, van, or sedan.

Total Project Cost: $88,000 Requested Section 5310 Program Funding: $70,400 (80 percent of the total project cost)

Green Bay Metro: Funding for a Mobility Manager Program that serves all of Brown County.


C. Runge noted that after discussing the applications and each subcommittee member’s scores, the scores were combined and averaged to create the following overall scores for the applications:

Curative Connections Vehicles: 89 of 100 possible points

Green Bay Metro Mobility Manager Program: 87 of 100 possible points

C. Runge reported that the subcommittee members agreed that both projects should receive CY 2017 Section 5310 Program funding because they will be beneficial to seniors and people with disabilities. However, because the total requested amount of Section 5310 funding exceeds the amount available by $487, the subcommittee recommended that the project with the highest average score (Curative Connections Vehicles) be awarded the requested amount of $70,400 and that Green Bay Metro’s Mobility Manager Program be awarded $74,513 ($487 below Metro’s requested amount). A motion was made by S. Popp, seconded by M. Schlautman, to recommend to the Brown County Planning Commission Board of Directors the distribution of CY 2017 Section 5310 Program funds for the Green Bay Urbanized Area as follows:

Section 5310 Program funding available in CY 2017 for the Green Bay Urbanized Area: $161,014

Administration funding awarded to Green Bay Metro as the Section 5310 Program's DR: $16,101

Section 5310 Program funding available for eligible projects in CY 2017: $144,913

CY 2017 Section 5310 funding awarded to Curative Connections: $70,400

CY 2017 Section 5310 funding awarded to Green Bay Metro: $74,513

Remaining CY 2017 Section 5310 Program balance:

$0

Motion carried. The following TCC members, having a vested interest in the outcome, abstained: Diana Brown, Essie Fels, Vincent Caldera, and Tina Whetung.

T. Whetung asked for feedback regarding the Curative Connections application. C. Runge agreed to do so. C. Runge thanked the TCC members who volunteered to be on the review subcommittee. C. Campbell expressed concerns regarding the Mobility Coordinator and Travel Trainer positions being under the supervision of a city department. Discussion regarding the funding of the positions occurred: Funding for the program is as follows:

Federal Section 5310 – The Brown County Planning Commission Board of Directors assigns funds to specific projects. In 2017, the amount requested is $74,513.

State 85.21. The ADRC Board allocates funds to specific transportation programs. It is expected that 85.21 funds will cover approximately 20% of the Mobility Management program in 2017 (with funding approval in fall of 2016).

Federal Section 5307 and State 85.20. Green Bay Metro is the recipient of these funds and will offset the balance of the program’s costs (includes in-kind such as phones, office space, etc.).

ADRC staff noted that the contract and/or Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) between Green Bay Metro and the ADRC will emphasize the countywide nature of the program. In addition, there are a number of reporting requirements associated with the grant. The funding for the program will need to be applied for and approved annually.

3. Discussion about the stakeholder meeting that will be held for the 2016 Brown County Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan.

L. Conard stated that BCPC Transportation staff will be hosting the required county meeting for the Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan effort on:

Tuesday, September 27, 2016 Green Bay Metro Transportation Center

901 University Avenue Green Bay, Wisconsin

9:15 a.m.

L. Conard invited TCC members to the meeting and distributed meeting flyers for members of the TCC to bring back and display at their respective agencies. L. Conard provided an overview of the plan process. Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act), the current federal transportation law, requires the creation of a “locally developed coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan”. In cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Brown County Planning Commission (BCPC) staff is responsible for this requirement in Brown County. Plan process requires the following elements:

1. Complete an Inventory of Transportation Services in the county that serve seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low income individuals.

2. Facilitate a County Meeting which includes representatives from public, private,

and nonprofit transportation and human service providers, as well as participation from the public.

3. Develop an Action Plan. 4. Review and approve a Program of Projects falling under Federal Section 5310.

L. Conard emphasized the significance of the Action Plan component:

identifies gaps & concerns with transportation services

identifies possible solutions

identifies the responsible parties; and

identifies roadblocks to implementation L. Conard noted that the Coordinated Plan is unique in that it does not go to any local commission, committee, or government body for approval. It is a plan developed by the county meeting participants. MPO staff facilitates the meeting and attendees suggest items to include in the plan. MPO staff takes the suggestions back to the office and writes the plan and submits it to the meeting participants for review. The completed plan will be submitted to WisDOT staff. WisDOT staff reviews the plan and determines if the federally required plan process was followed and required elements were included in the plan. If found to be the case, WisDOT staff will notify the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) that the requirements have been met. This will allow federal Section 5310 funds to flow into the Green Bay Urbanized Area. L. Mamrosh asked for examples of action plan items. L. Conard noted that prior to the formation of the TCC, it was identified as a need. In addition, a need for a mobility management program has been identified in the plan since 2006. L. Conard stated that she anticipates expanded transportation services, particularly for nontraditional hours, and funding to be top issues. L. Mamrosh stated she plans on attending the meeting. J. Tetzlaff asked if the meeting was open to the public. L. Conard noted that the public is invited to participate.

4. Round robin discussion about specialized transportation services in Brown County.

L. Mamrosh stated that she called Bring It. Bring It is a local company that specializes in running errands for persons with disabilities and/or seniors. Bring It will deliver groceries directly to the client’s home. However, due to insurance reasons, the client cannot ride in the Bring It vehicle. G. Maloney of the Lakeland District - Managed Care Organization (MCO) stated that they have contracted with Lee Transportation to provide services to clients. Lee Transportation has been able to accommodate after-hours hospital discharge trips. Lee Transportation is new to the area and may offer rides to other agencies or individuals. G. Maloney also reported that he expects an uptick in the demand for transportation services for clients between the ages of 18-24 who seek employment in the community as a result of recent DVR (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation) initiatives. G. Maloney noted and S. Popp

confirmed that many of these clients live on the fringe of existing urban transportation services. G. Maloney noted that one client uses Lamers Bus to transport himself into the urban area where the client can then take a Green Bay Metro bus to his final destination. C. Runge noted that the Brown County Rural Specialized Transportation Study recently prepared by Aaron Schuette of the Brown County Planning Commission recommends that the service provided by Curative be expanded to cover the fringe urban area. T. Whetung confirmed that Curative is looking to expand service in that area.

5. Other matters.

The next meeting of the TCC is scheduled for:

Monday, December 5, 2016 Green Bay Metro Transportation Center

901 University Avenue Green Bay, Wisconsin

A motion was made by E. Kazik, seconded by C. Berndt, to approve the May 16, 2016, Transportation Subcommittee meeting minutes. Motion carried.

2. Recommendation to the BCPC Board of Directors regarding the Draft 2017 Transportation

Planning Work Program. C. Runge provided an overview of the draft 2017 work program’s significant projects. MPO Long-Range Transportation Plan Performance Measures Implementation In 2017, MPO staff will continue to work to achieve the performance measures’ goals and objectives by promoting the implementation of the strategies identified in the Long-Range Transportation Plan. Staff will also adjust the performance measures as necessary after WisDOT develops its statewide performance measures. In addition, staff will monitor progress toward the achievement of the goals and objectives through the continued development of an annual transportation system performance measures report. Congestion Management Process (CMP) Update The current CMP will have been in place for four years at the end of 2017, and MPO staff intends to update the CMP in 2017 to ensure that it is consistent with the updated LRTP and revised TIP project selection process that were approved by the BCPC Board in 2015. The update will also

Item #5

enable the CMP to comply with the regulations in the federal Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act that was enacted in December of 2015. Development of State and MPO Transportation System Performance Targets In 2017, WisDOT will coordinate with the Green Bay MPO and the other MPOs throughout Wisconsin to establish the state’s transportation system performance targets. Once WisDOT’s performance targets are established (which should occur by mid-2017), the Green Bay MPO will coordinate with WisDOT and other stakeholders to begin the process of establishing the MPO’s performance targets. The MPO’s targets will be established by the spring of 2018. Green Bay MPO Title VI and Non-Discrimination Program/Limited English Proficiency Plan Update In 2017, MPO staff will update the Title VI and Non-Discrimination Program/Limited English Proficiency Plan to ensure that the plan’s demographic analyses are current and that the plan is consistent with federal law. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Transportation Improvements in the Southern Portion of the Green Bay Metropolitan Area (Non-MPO Activity) In 2017, staff will continue to work with WisDOT, FHWA, Brown County’s Public Works Department, communities, and the public to develop the EIS and IAJR. A motion was made by S. Grenier, seconded by D. Martin, to recommend approval to the BCPC Board of Directors of the Draft 2017 Transportation Planning Work Program. Motion carried.

3. Recommendation to the BCPC Board of Directors regarding the Draft 2017-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Green Bay Urbanized Area. L. Conard stated the Draft TIP was released for the required 30-day public review and comment period on August 24. As part of the public participation policy, staff notified approximately 170 individuals and/or agencies that make up the MPO’s interested parties list. In addition, staff provided an overview of the TIP and held a public hearing before the BCPC Board of Directors (MPO Policy Board) the evening of September 7. As required by federal law, the report was also made available to environmental resource agencies for review and comment. The public comment period is scheduled to conclude on September 23, and to date, no comments have been received. Since this is an even-numbered year, the MPO policy board will not be assigning Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds to specific projects. However, MPO staff did solicit eligible projects, prioritized them, and included them in Table II-1 as illustrative as well as in Appendix A.

WisDOT staff will be hosting a local programs symposium in late March or early April of 2017. WisDOT’s STBG application process and project cost estimate development guidelines will be discussed at the symposium. Members of the subcommittee will be invited to attend. Staff is looking for a recommendation to the BCPC Board of Directors for approval of the 2017-2021 TIP. D. Drewery requested that Mr. Steve Kubacki, Administrator of the Village of Suamico, be allowed to speak regarding the Riverside Drive project. The floor was opened. S. Kubacki noted that the Riverside Drive project at Vickery Village is part of a three phase development that includes the construction of a Woonerf (a living street or a street that functions as shared public space for pedestrians, bicyclists, and in some cases, for slow-moving, cautiously driven vehicles). S. Kubacki discussed the merits of the project and thanked the subcommittee for allowing the project to be considered in the future for STBG funds. The floor was closed. E. Rakers asked if the statement “illustrative only” next to a project listed in the TIP indicates that federal funds have not been committed to the project at this time. L. Conard confirmed this. A motion was made by E. Rakers, seconded by E. Kazik, to recommend approval to the BCPC Board of Directors of the Draft 2017-2021 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Green Bay Urbanized Area. Motion carried.

4. Presentation by WisDOT staff regarding the Draft Statewide Freight Plan.

Jennifer Brost Sarnecki, Statewide Planning Chief, WisDOT, provided an overview of the state’s freight plan process and schedule via PowerPoint.

J. Sarnecki noted that the federal Critical Urban Freight Corridors (CUFC) system will be a component of the State’s Freight Plan. She also noted that the Final State Freight Plan may not be published and distributed until February or March of 2017.

J. Sarnecki requested input from the subcommittee members:

C. Runge noted that Mr. Dean Haen, Director, Brown County Port and Solid Waste, is a member of the Statewide Freight Plan advisory committee. C. Runge stated that he was told by WisDOT staff that WisDOT will not begin to identify Wisconsin’s portion of the federal Critical Urban Freight Corridors (CUFC) system until January or February of 2017. He then asked how the state intends to incorporate its portion of the CUFC into the Statewide Freight Plan if the plan is scheduled to be finalized and distributed in February or March of 2017. J. Sarnecki stated that this is a good question, but at this point WisDOT has not determined how this will be done. E. Rakers noted that the Green Bay area could benefit from the establishment of an intermodal rail facility and that this has been discussed for many years by the subcommittee. C. Runge asked if the Statewide Freight Plan is strictly a broad policy document or if it will also include specific recommendations such as the establishment of an intermodal rail facility in Green Bay. J. Sarnecki stated that this will be determined after the Draft Statewide Freight Plan is released for review and comment at the end of September. G. Farr noted that he would like to see the fuel pipeline that runs between Milwaukee and Northeast Wisconsin replaced to allow for more reliable and cost effective movement of fuel. J. Sarnecki welcomed comments regarding the plan from subcommittee members prior to the expected draft plan comment deadline of November 14, 2016.

5. Discussion of the federal requirement that recipients of federal funding through the Green Bay MPO must have ADA coordinators and ADA transition plans.

C. Runge stated that MPO staff was recently informed by FHWA and WisDOT that recipients of federal transportation funds must have ADA coordinators and ADA transition plans. He also stated that he asked FHWA staff to attend the Transportation Subcommittee meeting to explain these requirements to the members. FHWA Transportation Planner Mitch Batuzich cited the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as the cornerstones of the requirements. Communities must inventory their street networks and identify and address deficiencies.

D. Martin asked if local bike/ped plans would be sufficient if gaps in the system are identified and prioritized. M. Batuzich stated that these plans would likely meet the requirement. G. Farr asked who typically serves as ADA coordinator for a community. M. Batuzich stated that a human resources department staff member often serves as a community’s ADA coordinator. M. Batuzich agreed to provide written materials about these requirements and the contents of a typical ADA transition plan to C. Runge for distribution to the subcommittee.

6. Discussion regarding the development of a pedestrian crossing education program for the metropolitan area.

E. Rakers explained that he would like all jurisdictions to partner in developing or promoting an area-wide program that educates motorists and pedestrians about pedestrian crossings. Engineering has come a long way in making intersections and roadways safer, but education and enforcement are needed as well. D. Martin stated that the Public Safety department in Ashwaubenon hosts a few events per year. S. Grenier stated that the City of Green Bay has created a "slow down" display (people made out of orange caution barrels and warning signs) and plans on rotating the display on highly traveled street corridors. The display is currently on West Mason Street. B. Balke asked about the Safe Routes To School (SRTS) grants that the policy board approved recently. C. Runge stated that the Green Bay Area Public School District was awarded funding to complete SRTS plans for K-8 schools in four geographic areas within urbanized area. These planning processes will begin in 2017. S. Carpenter stated that the education program proposed today may be eligible for Transportation Alternatives (TA), which is a block grant program under the federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program. However, WisDOT will not solicit projects until the fall of 2017, and the awards will not be announced until the summer of 2018. C. Carpenter noted the success of the SRTS program managed by the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The program places an emphasis on education. Discussion regarding the need to engage the Brown County Public Safety Committee occurred. C. Runge noted that the Transportation Subcommittee may not meet again until the spring of 2017, so subcommittee members can contact him if their communities are interested in developing this education program.

7. Distribution of the MPO’s 2016 Transportation System Performance Measures Report.

C. Runge distributed the report. B. Balke asked about areas in Bellevue that have congestion that did not appear as areas of congestion in the study. C. Runge stated that there may be areas in the urban area experiencing congestion that were not captured in the study. For example, I-43 and Manitowoc Road experiences peak hour congestion. However, when staff conducted the floating car study at this location, the

interchange area was not congested. In the future, MPO staff will solicit specific locations/times from community staff and use that information to conduct the congestion analyses.

8. Any other matters.

None.

9. Adjourn.

Chair Balke closed the meeting at 11:08 a.m.

STAFF REPORT TO THE

BROWN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD OF DIRECTORS OCTOBER 5, 2016

RECOMMENDATION FOR CY 2017 SECTION 5310 PROGRAM FUNDING AWARDS

FROM THE BROWN COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATING COMMITTEE

Introduction In May of 2014, Brown County Planning Commission (BCPC) staff was informed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) that the initial application review and scoring process for Section 5310 Program funds needs to be conducted by a group of four or five people. To fulfill this requirement for the CY 2017 Section 5310 Program, a five-person subcommittee of the TCC was formed to review project applications, score them, and attend one subcommittee meeting to discuss the scores and develop funding recommendations to present to the full TCC. Subcommittee Discussion and Scoring On August 30, 2016, the Brown County TCC Section 5310 Program Application Review Subcommittee met to discuss and develop overall scores for the following two applications:

Curative Connections: Funding for a minibus with eight ambulatory positions and one wheelchair position and a minivan with five ambulatory positions and one wheelchair position.


Green Bay Metro: Funding for a Mobility Manager Program that serves all of Brown County.


After discussing the applications and each subcommittee member’s scores, the scores were combined and averaged to create the following overall scores for the applications:

Curative Connections Vehicles: 89 of 100 possible points

Green Bay Metro Mobility Manager Program: 87 of 100 possible points Subcommittee Recommendation to the Full Brown County TCC The subcommittee members agreed that both projects should receive CY 2017 Section 5310 Program funding because they will be beneficial to seniors and people with disabilities. However, because the total requested amount of Section 5310 funding exceeds the amount available by $487, the subcommittee recommended to the full Brown County TCC that the project with the highest average score (Curative Connections Vehicles) be awarded the requested amount of $70,400 and that Green Bay Metro’s Mobility Manager Program be awarded $74,513 ($487 below Metro’s requested amount).

2

Brown County TCC Recommendation to the BCPC Board of Directors The Brown County TCC agreed with and acted on the subcommittee’s funding recommendation on September 12, 2016. The TCC’s action was a recommendation to the BCPC Board of Directors that both projects be funded at the recommended amounts. If the Brown County TCC’s recommendation is approved by BCPC Board of Directors, the distribution of CY 2017 Section 5310 Program funds for the Green Bay Urbanized Area will be as follows:

Section 5310 Program funding available in CY 2017 for the Green Bay Urbanized Area: $161,014

Administration funding awarded to Green Bay Metro as the Section 5310 Program's DR1: $16,101

Section 5310 Program funding available for eligible projects in CY 2017: $144,913

CY 2017 Section 5310 funding awarded to Curative Connections: $70,400

CY 2017 Section 5310 funding awarded to Green Bay Metro: $74,513

Remaining CY 2017 Section 5310 Program balance:

$0

1 The DR (Designated Recipient) serves as the fiscal agent for the program. Green Bay Metro was selected as the

DR for the Green Bay Urbanized Area’s Section 5310 Program because of its experience with similar federal transportation funding programs. As the DR for this program, Green Bay Metro is entitled to 10 percent of the funding available in CY 2017 for program administration.

Reported Bicycle Crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014

During the five-year period between 2010 and 2014, there were 183 reported bicycle crashes in Brown County. The reported bicycle crashes in Brown County by vehicle movements are summarized in the following figure. Figure 1: Vehicle Movements when Bicycle Crashes Occurred in Brown County: 2010-2014

Source: Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) Laboratory Crash Records Database.

As Figure 1 shows, 130 (71.0%) of the 183 bicycle crashes in Brown County during the five-year study period involved bicyclists traveling straight and cars (and other motorized vehicles) turning right and traveling straight. Some of the characteristics of these crashes are summarized below. Bicyclist Traveling Straight - Motorist Turning Right Crashes Crashes that occur between a bicyclist traveling straight and a motorist making a right turn are commonly called “right hook” crashes. These types of crashes often occur at street intersections when motorists overtake bicyclists just prior to making their right turns, but they also happen when bicyclists overtake motorists on the street or enter crosswalks from sidewalks at high speeds. An illustration of this type of crash is shown in Figure 2 on the following page.

Figure 2: Illustration of a “Right-Hook” Crash between a Bicyclist and Motorist

The records for this type of crash in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 indicate that the county’s 70 “right hook” crashes:

Resulted in 6 (33.3%) of the county’s 18 serious bicyclist injuries, 36 (40.4%) of the county’s 89 minor bicyclist injuries, and 28 (37.8%) of the county’s 74 “possible” bicyclist injuries.

Occurred at street intersections 90.0% of the time (63 of 70 crashes).

Resulted in motorists being cited for violations following 44 (62.9%) of the 70 crashes. The most common motorist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

Resulted in bicyclists being cited for violations following 31 (44.3%) of the 70 crashes. The most common bicyclist violation was entering the intersection from the sidewalk too quickly or in another manner that didn’t enable motorists to avoid the crashes.

Bicyclist Traveling Straight - Motorist Traveling Straight Crashes (Right Angle Crashes) Right angle crashes that occur between a bicyclist traveling straight and a motorist traveling straight occur at street intersections, residential and commercial driveways, and a variety of other locations. The records for this type of crash in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 indicate that the county’s 60 “straight-straight” crashes:

Resulted in 7 (38.9%) of the county’s 18 serious bicyclist injuries, 30 (33.7%) of the county’s 89 minor bicyclist injuries, and 23 (31.1%) of the county’s 74 “possible” bicyclist injuries.

Occurred at street intersections 66.7% of the time (40 of 60 crashes).

11

Resulted in motorists being cited for violations following 26 (43.3%) of the 60 crashes. The most common motorist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

Resulted in bicyclists being cited for violations following 32 (53.3%) of the 60 crashes. The most common bicyclist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

Bicycle Crashes by Brown County Community The number and proportion of reported bicycle crashes by community are summarized in the following figure. Figure 3: Bicycle Crashes by Brown County Community: 2010-2014


As Figure 3 shows, 125 (68.3%) of the 183 reported bicycle crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened in the City of Green Bay. The number of bicycle crashes in Green Bay during this five-year period was more than six times greater than the community with the next highest crash total, and the proportion of bicycle crashes in the City of Green Bay between 2010 and 2014 was much higher than the city’s proportion of Brown County’s total estimated 2015 population. The population and bicycle crash proportions for each community are shown in Figure 4 on the following page.

Figure 4: Proportion of BC Population vs. Proportion of Bicycle Crashes by Community

Crash Data Source: Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) Laboratory Crash Records Database. Population Source: Wisconsin Department of Administration Municipal Population Estimates for 2015.

As Figure 4 shows, only the City of Green Bay and Village of Ashwaubenon had bicycle crash proportions that exceeded their population proportions, and the City of Green Bay’s bicycle crash proportion of 68.3% was much higher than its population proportion of 41.1%. Bicyclist Fatalities and Injuries in Brown County Between 2010 and 2014, there was one bicyclist fatality in Brown County. This fatality occurred at a rural intersection when a motorist made a left turn and struck a bicyclist who was stopped at a stop sign. In addition to this fatality, 18 bicyclists suffered serious injuries and 89 bicyclists suffered minor injuries during the five-year study period. There were also 74 bicyclists who suffered what were classified as “possible” injuries. The serious and minor bicyclist injuries are summarized for each Brown County community in Figure 5 on the following page.

Bicycle Helmet Use in Brown County

The crash records indicate that 156 (85.2%) of the 183 bicyclists who were in reported crashes between 2010 and 2014 in Brown County were not wearing helmets. This suggests that most people choose not to wear a relatively inexpensive piece of equipment that has proven to reduce the likelihood of serious bicycling injuries.

The injury totals for bicyclists who were and were not wearing helmets are summarized in the following figure.

The county’s single bicycling fatality during the five-year study period involved a bicyclist who was not wearing a helmet, but the information in the crash records database is not detailed enough to determine if a helmet would have prevented this bicyclist’s death. The crash records database also does not provide enough information to determine if helmets could have reduced the severity of the serious and other injuries experienced by bicyclists during the study period. Although the crash records database lacks the information necessary to determine the effectiveness of helmets, the difference in the severity of injuries sustained by bicyclists who were and were not wearing helmets suggests that helmet use could have reduced the severity of at least some of the injuries. However, the full report for each crash would have to be analyzed to determine if injury severity could have been reduced by helmet use. Bicycle Crash Locations (Intersection vs. Non-Intersection) The crash records indicate that 135 (73.8%) of the 183 bicycle crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at intersections, and most of these intersections were equipped with traffic control devices. The devices that were controlling the intersections where crashes occurred are summarized in Figure 7 on the following page.

18

Figure 7: Bicycle Crashes at Brown County Intersections by Traffic Control Device: 2010-2014


As Figure 7 shows, 55 (40.7%) of the 135 intersection crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at signalized intersections when the signals were fully operational. There was also one crash that occurred when traffic signals were in flash mode. The signalized intersection crashes resulted in 8 serious bicyclist injuries, 25 minor bicyclist injuries, and 23 “possible” bicyclist injuries. Figure 7 also shows that 51 (37.8%) of the 135 intersection crashes happened when stop signs were present at one or more of the intersection approaches. These crashes resulted in 3 serious bicyclist injuries, 22 minor bicyclist injuries, and 26 “possible” bicyclist injuries. According to the crash records, there were 4 bicycle crashes at Brown County’s roundabouts between 2010 and 2014. These crashes resulted in 1 serious bicyclist injury, 1 minor bicyclist injury, and 2 “possible” bicyclist injuries.

Bicycle Crash Citations

According to the TOPS Laboratory Crash Records Database, 102 (55.7%) of the 183 drivers involved in bicycle crashes between 2010 and 2014 were cited by the responding law enforcement officers. The crash records database also indicates that 93 (50.8%) of the 183 bicyclists were cited following the crashes. The total citation percentage exceeds 100.0% because drivers and bicyclists were cited following 12 of the 183 crashes.

Figure 8: Bicycle Crashes in Brown County by Five-Year Age Ranges: 2010-2014


As Figure 8 shows, 73 (39.9%) of the 183 bicycle crashes in Brown County during the five-year study period involved bicyclists who were between the ages of 11 and 20. However, the proportion of crashes was even higher for bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19. According to the crash records, bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19:

Were involved in 80 (43.7%) of the county’s 183 bicycle crashes between 2010 and 2014, and 57 (71.3%) of these 80 crashes occurred in the City of Green Bay.

Suffered 8 (44.4%) of the county’s 18 serious injuries, 40 (44.9%) of the county’s 89 minor injuries, and 30 (40.5%) of the county’s 74 “possible” injuries between 2010 and 2014.

Were cited for violations following 46 (57.5%) of the 80 crashes.

Were not wearing bicycle helmets during 77 (96.3%) of the 80 crashes.

Bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19 were also involved in:

32 (45.7%) of the county’s 70 “right hook” crashes.

28 (46.7%) of the county’s 60 crashes where a motorist traveling straight collided with a bicyclist traveling straight.

Bicycle Crashes by Day of Week Between 2010 and 2014, 150 (82.0%) of the 183 bicycle crashes in Brown County happened on weekdays. The number of bicycle crashes by day of week is summarized in Figure 9 on the following page.

Bicycle Crash Analysis Summary

There were 183 reported bicycle crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014.

The most common reported bicycle crash in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 was a “right hook” crash (where right-turning motorists collided with bicyclists traveling straight in the same direction on the street or on an adjacent sidewalk).

The records indicate that the county’s 70 “right hook” crashes:

o Resulted in 6 (33.3%) of the county’s 18 serious bicyclist injuries, 36 (40.4%) of the

county’s 89 minor bicyclist injuries, and 28 (37.8%) of the county’s 74 “possible” bicyclist injuries.

o Occurred at street intersections 90.0% of the time (63 of 70 crashes).

o Resulted in motorists being cited for violations following 44 (62.9%) of the 70 crashes.

The most common motorist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

o Resulted in bicyclists being cited for violations following 31 (44.3%) of the 70 crashes. The most common bicyclist violation was entering the intersection from the sidewalk too quickly or in another manner that didn’t enable motorists to avoid the crashes.

The second most common reported bicycle crash in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 involved motorists traveling straight colliding with bicyclists traveling straight. The records indicate that the county’s 60 “straight-straight” crashes:

o Resulted in 7 (38.9%) of the county’s 18 serious bicyclist injuries, 30 (33.7%) of the

county’s 89 minor bicyclist injuries, and 23 (31.1%) of the county’s 74 “possible” bicyclist injuries.

o Occurred at street intersections 66.7% of the time (40 of 60 crashes).

o Resulted in motorists being cited for violations following 26 (43.3%) of the 60 crashes.

The most common motorist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

o Resulted in bicyclists being cited for violations following 32 (53.3%) of the 60 crashes. The most common bicyclist violations were failure to yield and inattentive driving.

125 of the county’s 183 reported bicycle crashes happened in the City of Green Bay, and Green Bay’s proportion of Brown County’s bicycle crashes (68.3%) was much higher than its proportion of Brown County’s population (41.1%).

There was one bicyclist fatality in Brown County between 2010 and 2014. This fatality happened in a rural portion of the county.

There were 18 serious bicyclist injuries, 89 minor bicyclist injuries, and 74 “possible” bicyclist injuries in Brown County between 2010 and 2014.

14 (77.8%) of the county’s 18 serious bicycling injuries and 53 (59.6%) of the county’s 89 minor bicycling injuries happened in the City of Green Bay.

24

156 (85.2%) of the 183 bicyclists involved in crashes were not wearing helmets when the crashes occurred. The bicyclists who were not wearing helmets suffered 16 (88.9%) of the county’s 18 serious bicycling injuries and 80 (89.9%) of the county’s 89 minor bicycling injuries.

135 (73.8%) of the county’s 183 reported bicycle crashes occurred at intersections.

107 (79.3%) of the 135 intersection crashes happened when traffic signals or stop signs were present. There were 4 bicyclist crashes at Brown County’s roundabouts during the five-year study period.

102 (55.7%) of the 183 drivers and 93 (50.8%) of the 183 bicyclists were cited for violations following the crashes.

Bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19:

o Were involved in 80 (43.7%) of the county’s 183 bicycle crashes, and 57 (71.3%) of these 80 crashes occurred in the City of Green Bay.

o Suffered 8 (44.4%) of the county’s 18 serious injuries, 40 (44.9%) of the county’s 89

minor injuries, and 30 (40.5%) of the county’s 74 “possible” injuries.

o Were cited for violations following 46 (57.5%) of the 80 crashes.

o Were not wearing bicycle helmets during 77 (96.3%) of the 80 crashes.

Bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19 were also involved in:

o 32 (45.7%) of the county’s 70 “right hook” crashes.

o 28 (46.7%) of the county’s 60 crashes where a motorist traveling straight collided with a bicyclist traveling straight.

150 (82.0%) of the 183 reported bicycle crashes happened on weekdays.

43 (23.5%) of the 183 crashes happened between approximately 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays.

18 (41.9%) of the 43 crashes that happened between approximately 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays involved minors who were bicycling on days when the county’s schools were in session.

25

Bicycle Crash Analysis Conclusions Based on the results of the bicycle crash analysis, it appears that focusing on education and enforcement efforts for bicyclists between the ages of 10 and 19 could significantly reduce bicycle crashes in Brown County. For example, these bicyclists could be taught how to avoid situations where “right hook” crashes may occur. This includes:

o Being aware of and anticipating drivers making right turns in front of you.

o Not overtaking decelerating vehicles on the right.

o Understanding the danger associated with rapidly riding bicycles through intersections on sidewalks.

A possible educational campaign in schools and elsewhere could be “Avoid the Right Hook!” These education and enforcement efforts should also focus on:

o The importance of bicyclists following the rules of the road (e.g. obeying traffic signs and signals to avoid crashes).

o Understanding the safety benefits of wearing a bicycle helmet.

In addition, drivers need to be frequently reminded that they need to be alert because children and young adults are still developing their perceptual, attention, and decision-making abilities and may not be able to anticipate dangerous situations in order to avoid crashes. Education efforts for bicyclists between 10 and 19 could occur in gym classes, driver education courses, during special events, and through targeted enforcement efforts. Education for bicyclists and drivers above the age of 19 could be done using PSAs, billboards, and targeted enforcement efforts. One of the primary purposes of these education and enforcement efforts should be to inform bicyclists and drivers that bicycles are considered by state law to be vehicles and that bicyclists are legally granted the same rights and responsibilities as operators of motor vehicles. The Green Bay Area Public School District received a federal transportation grant to complete four Safe Routes to School plans in the City of Green Bay in 2017. These planning efforts will be an opportunity to develop and implement effective bicycling safety education programs in the district’s schools. Engineering approaches to addressing many of the types of crashes that happened between 2010 and 2014 could include bike boxes that allow bicyclists to move into the driving lanes at intersections in front of vehicles. The Brown County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, MPO Long-Range Transportation Plan, and many community plans include education, engineering, and enforcement recommendations that address the factors that resulted in crashes between 2010 and 2014.

Reported Pedestrian Crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014

During the five-year period between 2010 and 2014, there were 195 reported pedestrian crashes in Brown County. The number and proportion of reported pedestrian crashes by community are summarized in the following figure. Figure 11: Pedestrian Crashes by Brown County Community: 2010-2014


As Figure 11 shows, nearly 71% of the 195 reported pedestrian crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened in the City of Green Bay. The number of pedestrian crashes in Green Bay during this five-year period was more than seven times greater than the community with the next highest crash total, and the proportion of pedestrian crashes in the City of Green Bay between 2010 and 2014 was much higher than the city’s proportion of Brown County’s total estimated 2015 population. The population and pedestrian crash proportions for each community are shown in Figure 12 on the following page.

As Figure 12 shows, only the City of Green Bay and Village of Ashwaubenon had pedestrian crash proportions that exceeded their population proportions, and the City of Green Bay’s pedestrian crash proportion of 70.8% was much higher than its population proportion of 41.1%. Pedestrian Fatalities and Injuries in Brown County Between 2010 and 2014, there were a total of 8 pedestrian fatalities in Brown County. According to the crash data:

7 of the 8 fatalities occurred at non-intersection locations.

6 of the 8 fatalities occurred on multi-lane highways or streets, and 1 of the 8 fatalities occurred on a high-speed two-lane highway.

6 of the 8 fatalities occurred when it was dark.

6 of the 8 drivers were found to have alcohol or another inebriant in their systems at the time of the crashes.

In addition to the 8 fatalities, 32 pedestrians suffered serious injuries and 86 pedestrians suffered minor injuries during the five-year study period. There were also 68 pedestrians who suffered what were classified as “possible” injuries.

Pedestrian Crash Locations (Intersection vs. Non-Intersection) A slim majority (55.4%) of the pedestrian crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at intersections, and most of these intersections were equipped with traffic control devices. The devices that were controlling the movements of the cars and other vehicles that struck pedestrians at intersections are summarized in the following figure.

Figure 14: Pedestrian Crashes at Intersections by Vehicle Traffic Control Device: 2010-2014


As Figure 14 shows, 54 (50.0%) of the 108 intersection crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at signalized intersections when the signals were fully operational. Although there were no fatalities related to these crashes, these crashes did result in 5 serious pedestrian injuries, 24 minor pedestrian injuries, and 25 “possible” pedestrian injuries. There were also 26 pedestrian crashes at intersections controlled by stop signs, and there was 1 pedestrian crash at a roundabout. The crash data indicate that all of the pedestrian fatalities and 71.9% of the serious pedestrian injuries in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at intersection and non-intersection locations where no traffic control devices were present. Pedestrian fatalities and injuries are addressed in greater detail later in this section of the analysis. Pedestrian Crash Citations According to the TOPS Laboratory Crash Records Database, 151 (77.4%) of the 195 drivers involved in intersection and non-intersection pedestrian crashes between 2010 and 2014 were cited by the responding law enforcement officers. The crash records database also indicates that 59 (30.3%) of the 195 pedestrians were cited following the crashes. The total citation percentage exceeds 100.0% because drivers and pedestrians were cited following 15 of the 195 crashes.

Pedestrian Crash Analysis Summary

There were 195 reported pedestrian crashes in Brown County between 2010 and 2014.

138 of the county’s 195 reported pedestrian crashes happened in the City of Green Bay, and Green Bay’s proportion of Brown County’s pedestrian crashes (70.8%) was much higher than its proportion of Brown County’s population (41.1%).

There were 8 pedestrian fatalities in Brown County between 2010 and 2014. According to the crash data:

o 7 of the 8 fatalities occurred at non-intersection locations.

o 6 of the 8 fatalities occurred on multi-lane highways or streets, and 1 of the 8 fatalities occurred on a high-speed two-lane highway.

o 6 of the 8 fatalities occurred when it was dark.

o 6 of the 8 drivers involved in the fatal pedestrian crashes were found to have alcohol or another inebriant in their systems at the time of the crashes.

4 (50.0%) of the county’s 8 pedestrian fatalities happened in the City of Green Bay.

There were 32 serious pedestrian injuries, 86 minor pedestrian injuries, and 68 “possible” pedestrian injuries in Brown County between 2010 and 2014.

23 (71.9%) of the county’s 32 serious pedestrian injuries and 60 (69.8%) of the county’s 86 minor pedestrian injuries happened in the City of Green Bay.

108 (55.4%) of the county’s 195 reported pedestrian crashes happened at intersections.

81 (75.0%) of the county’s 108 intersection crashes happened where traffic signals or stop signs were present. There was 1 pedestrian crash at Brown County’s roundabouts during the five-year study period.

All of the pedestrian fatalities and 71.9% of the serious pedestrian injuries in Brown County between 2010 and 2014 happened at intersection and non-intersection locations where no traffic control devices were present.

151 (77.4%) of the 195 drivers and 59 (30.3%) of the pedestrians involved in intersection and non-intersection crashes between 2010 and 2014 were cited following the crashes.

77 (39.5%) of the 195 pedestrian crashes in Brown County during the five-year study period involved pedestrians who were between the ages of 11 and 25.

156 (80.0%) of the 195 pedestrian crashes in Brown County during the five-year study period happened on weekdays, and 109 (69.9%) of these 156 weekday pedestrian crashes happened in the City of Green Bay.

91 (46.7%) of the 195 pedestrian crashes in Brown County during the five-year study period happened between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.,

38

78 (85.7%) of the 91 pedestrian crashes that happened between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. occurred on weekdays.

66.7% of the pedestrian crashes that happened between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays in Brown County happened in the City of Green Bay.

39

Pedestrian Crash Analysis Conclusions The pedestrian crash statistics for Brown County between 2010 and 2014 were similar to the bicycle crash statistics for this period in many ways. For example:

o The City of Green Bay experienced a disproportionately high number of pedestrian and bicycle crashes, serious injuries, and minor injuries during the five-year study period.

o Many of the county’s pedestrian and bicycle crashes involved children and young adults.

o The peak period for pedestrian and bicycle crashes in the county was weekday

afternoons.

o The total number of pedestrian and bicycle crashes at intersections controlled by traffic signals and stop signs was much higher than the total number of pedestrian and bicycle crashes at roundabouts.

But despite these similarities, there were also some differences. For example:

o The proportion of non-intersection crashes was higher for pedestrians than for bicyclists.

o The proportion of pedestrians citied for violations was lower than for bicyclists.

o Injury severity at non-intersection locations was greater for pedestrians than for bicyclists, and it appears that the most severe pedestrian crashes happened at non-intersection locations where vehicles were traveling at high speeds and pedestrians were unexpectedly present.

Based on the results of the pedestrian crash analysis, it appears that many of the same crash reduction efforts that are recommended in the bicycle crash analysis section could be used to reduce pedestrian crashes. These efforts include education programs in gym classes, driver education courses, PSAs, and targeted enforcement programs. The Green Bay Area Public School District’s Safe Routes to School planning efforts will also be an opportunity to develop and implement effective pedestrian safety education programs in the district’s schools. In addition, drivers need to be frequently reminded that they need to be alert because children and young adults are still developing their perceptual, attention, and decision-making abilities and may not be able to anticipate dangerous situations in order to avoid crashes. The Brown County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, MPO Long-Range Transportation Plan, and many community plans also include education, engineering, and enforcement recommendations that address the factors that resulted in crashes between 2010 and 2014.
