CHAPTER 7

FINAL TIP PROJECT LIST Table 7.2 in this chapter and Appendix A present the listings of projects officially included in the “FY 2006-2009 TIP.” In addition to the official federal four-year TIP program, this chapter also documents the TMACOG area “Pipeline Projects” and “Other Needs Projects” (i.e. Ranked Projects Not Funded). Pipeline projects have a local TMACOG commitment that they will be funded if and when funds are available over the next four years or included in the next TIP before any newly ranked projects are included (see TMACOG Policies in Chapter 1). The “Other Needs” list represents projects that are being pursued by the local jurisdictions in anticipation of identifying funding through some other source or at some later date. Other Needs and Pipeline projects are not evaluated for air quality conformance or impact. The final project lists and the results of the analyses of the program are then reviewed by the Transportation Council and Executive Committee of TMACOG. Their approval of the TIP is documented in a TMACOG Resolution passed by the two groups on May 4 and May 18, 2005 respectively. A copy of the resolution is included in Appendix F. The TIP list (Table 7.2) includes all federally assisted projects in our area and lists the type of program funding involved in the project. These federal programs are administered by different agencies and are designed to meet different needs in the area. A brief description of these federal aid transportation programs is included in the next section of this chapter to aid in understanding the overall TIP listing in Table 7.2. DESCRIPTION OF FEDERAL AID PROGRAM FUNDS Under the Transportation Efficiency Act for the Twenty-First Century (TEA-21), the federal aid highway program has six basic funding components (I, IM, NH, STP, BR and CMAQ), plus demonstration project funding. Additionally, the State of Ohio received separate Donor State Bonus (DSB) and Minimum Guarantee (MA) equity adjustment apportionments. These are received since Ohio taxpayers contribute more to the Highway Trust Fund than they would receive through normal distribution formulae and federal law guaranteed a minimum return of contributions to the fund. The Interstate (I), Interstate Maintenance (IM), National Highway (NH), and the Bridge (BR) programs are under the control of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Projects funded with these fund types are selected by ODOT in cooperation with TMACOG. In addition, Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds are divided into a portion under the control of ODOT (OSTP) and a portion for this area controlled by TMACOG. The Surface Transportation Program (STP) essentially combines the old federal aid secondary and urban system programs and a portion of the former Primary Program into a flexible, intermodal program. TMACOG has programming control over the allocated STP funded projects. These projects are selected by TMACOG in consultation with ODOT. Projects using

OSTP funds, which are primarily on the NHS System, are selected by ODOT in cooperation with TMACOG. Lucas and Wood counties also have access to STP funds made available to counties by ODOT. These funds are categorized as CSTP (County STP) within this report. As established under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and continued under TEA-21, the CMAQ Program was designed to substantially expand the focus and purpose of Federal transportation funding assistance to include air quality improvement as a specific objective. These funds are to assist areas designated as non-attainment and maintenance under the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 to develop improvement projects and programs that will reduce transportation emissions to achieve healthful levels of air quality. These funds are not for projects that expand or maintain existing transportation networks. Transportation projects and programs are eligible for CMAQ program funds only if they meet certain criteria spelled out in the TEA-21 as amended. In determining project eligibility under these criteria, priority is given to implementing those projects and programs that are included in an approved State Implementation Plan (SIP), or as a transportation control measure (TCM), and which will have air quality benefits. The activity must be eligible under the law and this guidance, even if it is included as a TCM in the SIP, before CMAQ funds may be used for it. Any reference to improving air quality contained in this guidance means reducing ozone precursors in ozone areas, Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions in CO areas or, if applicable, transportation-related Particulate Matter (PM) pollution in PM areas. In general, most projects and programs eligible for CMAQ funds must also come from a conforming transportation plan and transportation improvement program (TIP), and be consistent with the conformity provisions contained in Section 176 of the Clean Air Act. Projects also need to complete the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, and be included in the appropriate statewide program, and meet basic eligibility requirements for funding under titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code.

THE FINAL 2006-2009 TIP PROGRAM Table 7.2 includes all four-year TIP projects with funding and development phase. The table presents the overall program of projects in listings sorted by project sponsor (the last column). The first four columns present identifying information on the project – its TMACOG Map Number (unique number assigned at time of project request), the PID (Project Identification Number assigned by ODOT at time of programming), and State ID (name in ODOT databases). The next column is a description of the project, the type of work and air quality status. Air quality status relates whether the project was included in the pollution estimating model networks. The next five columns show cost and schedule information. The total project cost

60

inclusive of all local, state and federal funds is shown first. Then the federal cost and type of funding, the year and phase of the project are shown. Appendix G shows the exact same projects and same basic information about the projects but is sorted as required by ODOT by the “State ID” code. Appendix A shows the transit projects presented using forms required by ODOT. Map 7.1, at the end of this section, shows the location of all four-year TIP projects. OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS NOT FUNDED Table 7.3 includes the “Pipeline” and Table 7.4 includes the “Other Needs - Ranked Projects Not Funded” list. These are other significant projects for which federal funding has not been identified during the four-year TIP period. It is sorted by sponsoring jurisdiction and project name. OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS FUNDED BY NON-FEDERAL FUNDS Section 450.324(f)(3-5) requires the listing of regionally significant projects that are not otherwise included in the TIP. This may include projects that are not currently proposed to use federal funds, or projects that are beyond the time frames of the constrained TIP. Projects of this nature are included in Appendix H for review and information purposes.
