KALAMAZOO AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY FY 2017-2020 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM MARCH 2019 AMENDMENTS
What is the TIP? The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is an outline of transportation projects programmed in the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study (KATS) Planning Area for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2020. This area includes all of Kalamazoo County and Almena Township, Antwerp Township, Paw Paw Township, Waverly Township, and the Villages of Paw Paw, Lawton, and Mattawan in Van Buren County.
The Metropolitan Planning Area
Figure 1: Map of KATS MPO and Urbanized Area
The TIP, as required by federal regulations, addresses all projects proposed to use federal transportation funding within the KATS area. Everyone who lives, works, attends school, visits, or travels through our region is affected by these projects. The TIP responds to the everchanging needs of all users and includes maintenance, public transit, bikeway, sidewalk, bridge, traffic signal, and other projects.
Development of the TIP The TIP covers a four-year period but is updated every three years to ensure an efficient transition between programs.
The program is developed using the continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process with state and federal transportation agencies (the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration), public transit agencies, local governments, and residents. To be included in the TIP, projects must have committed funding and provide project details.
Amending the TIP KATS regularly amends the TIP to reflect new and changing projects. The KATS staff may approve minor changes, but certain modifications are more significant and require KATS to approve a formal amendment to the TIP. These modifications include:
• Cost changes that exceed percentagethresholds
• Major changes that affect project scope• Additions• Deletions• Schedule changes that move projects into the
TIP’s time period
The TIP Process
Figure 2: KATS Transportation Improvement Process
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan The Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study also develops the region’s long-term Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP covers more than 20 years of planning efforts and must be updated every four years. The short-range projects included in the TIP must be consistent with the long-range planning efforts included in the MTP.

1.0 Conformity
1.1 Introduction
Transportation conformity provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments require metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) make a determination that the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and projects conform to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and regional emissions will not negatively impact the region’s ability to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
Conformity to the SIP means that the region’s LRTPs and TIPs 1) will not cause any new violations of the NAAQS; 2) will not increase the frequency or severity of existing violation; and 3) will not delay attaining the NAAQS. A demonstration is conducted by comparing emissions estimates generated from implementation of LRTPs and TIPs for analysis years to the motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) contained in the maintenance SIP.
The purpose of this report is to document the process and findings of the transportation conformity analysis for the conformity area.
1.2 Conformity Area and Conformity
The conformity area consists of the three counties of Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Van Buren. Within the boundary are the MPOs of the Battle Creek Area Transportation Study (BCATS) and the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study (KATS), as well as, the rural projects contained in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
Findings of the transportation conformity analysis are for projects contained within:
The staff of BCATS and KATS finds that the LRTPs and TIPs conform to the SIP for the 1997 ozone standard based on the results of this conformity analysis. This report makes the determination that the region’s transportation plan and programs satisfy all applicable criteria and procedures in the conformity regulations.
This conformity analysis document is subject to public comment period, for BCATS from Feb. 7 through Feb. 27, 2019 and for KATS from Feb. 5 through March 27, 2019. Comments received will be recognized, considered, and a response provided.
The MPOs policy committee will make a formal conformity determination, through a resolution, at the:
• BCATS Policy Committee on Feb. 27, 2019 • KATS Policy Committee on March 27, 2019.
1.4 Results of Conformity Analysis
Conformity is demonstrated when the analysis-year emissions are equal to or less than the SIP budget. For the 1997 ozone standard, as shown in Table 1, the emission results for the analysis years show that the volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions are lower than the SIP budgets; thus, conformity for the ozone standard is demonstrated.
Table 1: Results of 1997 Ozone Standard Conformity Analysis
The Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) established rules to improve the air, protect public health, and protect the environment. The act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set, review, and revise the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) periodically.
The Clean Air Act links together air quality planning and transportation planning through the transportation conformity process. Air quality planning is controlled by Michigan’s SIP, which includes the state’s plans for attaining or maintaining the NAAQS. The main transportation planning tools are the metropolitan LRTP and the metropolitan TIP. Transportation conformity ensures that federal funding and approval are given to highway and transit activities that are consistent with the SIP and that these activities will not affect Michigan’s ability to achieve the NAAQS.
Transportation activities that are subject to conformity are LRTPs, TIPs, and all non-exempt federal projects that receive Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding or approval. The conformity process ensures emissions from LRTP, TIP, or projects are within acceptable levels specified within the SIP and meet the goals of the SIP.
Transportation conformity only applies to on-road sources and transportation-related pollutants: ozone, particulate matter (particulate sizes 2.5 and 10), nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
In addition to emissions that are directly emitted, regulations specifically require certain precursor pollutants to be addressed. Precursor pollutants are those pollutants that contribute to the formation of other pollutants. For example, ozone is not directly emitted but created when NOx and VOC react with sunlight.
When the EPA revises a NAAQS, all areas of the country are evaluated to determine if monitored levels of the pollutant are at or below the standard; these areas are classified as attainment. If the pollutant level is above the standard, these areas are classified as nonattainment. MPOs in areas classified as nonattainment or maintenance must conduct conformity analysis on their transportation programs.
2.2 Attainment Status
On April 15, 2004, the EPA issued final designations of areas not attaining the 1997 ozone NAAQS (also referred to as 1997 ozone standard). The three counties Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Van Buren were designated a nonattainment area. On May 16, 2007, the EPA redesignated the area attainment/maintenance, approving and finding adequate motor vehicle emissions budgets for VOC and NOx for the year 2018.
Meeting Materials Page 25 of 83
7 | P a g e Draft for public comment
Placing the area into maintenance, this requires conformity emission to be compared to the motor vehicle emission budgets contained in the SIP, referred to as SIP budgets. On July 20, 2012, the EPA designated all of Michigan as attainment for the strengthened 2008 ozone NAAQS. On July 20, 2013, the EPA partially revoked the 1997 ozone standard, revoking the requirement to do transportation conformity for areas that were in maintenance. On April 6, 2015, the EPA completely revoked the 1997 ozone standard, which resulted in removal of all transportation conformity requirements. On Jan. 16, 2018, the EPA designated Calhoun County attainment for the strengthened 2015 ozone NAAQS (also referred to as 2015 ozone standard). Then on Aug. 3, 2018, Kalamazoo and Van Buren Counties were also designated. On April 23, 2018, the FHWA, complying with the court’s decision in South Coast Air Quality Management District v. EPA, started requiring areas in the country that were maintenance for the 1997 ozone standard and attainment for the 2008 ozone standard to conduct conformity. Later, this was amended to give MPOs until Feb. 16, 2019, to make conformity determinations.
2.3 SIP Budgets
The Kalamazoo – Battle Creek conformity area has existing maintenance budgets from the 1997 ozone standard maintenance SIP. Regulations require use of these budgets to test against for ozone standard. Emissions generated must be equal to or less than the SIP budgets, also referred to as the MVEB. MVEB is the portion of the total allowable emissions allocated to highway and transit vehicle use in the maintenance or nonattainment area. By showing emissions are below the MVEB, the LRTPs and TIP are conforming to the SIP.
3.0 Interagency Consultation
Consultation with federal, state, and local transportation authorities is conducted through the Michigan Transportation Conformity Interagency Workgroup (MITC-IAWG). Issues discussed include evaluating and choosing emission models and methods, determining regionally significant project definition, procedures for future MITC-IAWG meetings, and rules for reviewing projects.
An initial MITC-IAWG was held on Oct. 25, 2018, with a meeting to review projects held Dec. 17, 2018. Individuals attended in person or by conference call. Summaries of the meetings and all interagency consultation correspondence related to this conformity are in Appendix A. Copies of this conformity analysis were sent to each MITC-IAWG member to review and comment.

4.0 Public Participation
The Public Participation Plan adopted by the MPO Policy Committee establishes the procedures by which the MPOs reach affected public agencies and the public. The same procedures were followed for this document, ensuring the public has an opportunity to review and comment before the MPOs make a determination.
Formal public comment periods for the draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis will be held for BCATS from Feb. 7 through Feb. 27, 2019 and KATS from Feb. 5 through March 27, 2019. Public comments received and responses to those comments will be in Appendix B.
5.0 Modeled Project in Conformity Analysis
All projects in the LRTPs, TIP, and amendments were evaluated for inclusion in the analysis. Projects classified as non-exempt must be analyzed. Projects with exempt classification that can be modeled with the travel demand model were modeled. Appendix C includes a complete list of the projects evaluated for, and included, in this analysis.
6.0 Transportation Modeling
6.1 Travel Demand Forecasting Model
Nonattainment areas are established independent of MPO boundaries. The conformity area is covered by three travel demand forecasting models: the BCATS model, the KATS model, and the statewide model covering the rural areas. Each of these models were developed in TransCAD modeling software and using the latest demographic and employment data available to generate estimates of travel, vehicle miles of travel (VMT), and speeds. Detailed documentation on each of these models is contained in separate documents available upon request.
6.1.2 BCATS Model
The BCATS model covers the greater Battle Creek and Springfield area. It was developed by MDOT and is a standard four-step model with a base year of 2010 and horizon year of 2040. Each of the four steps - trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and traffic assignment - are checked for reasonableness against national standards. Final model validation verifies that the assigned volumes replicate actual traffic counts. The decennial 2010 census and American Community Survey are the sources of population and household base data. Employment data is developed from a private business database verified with local knowledge. Future data is based on the Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) economic and demographic forecasts. The University of Michigan and MDOT jointly develop county-specific forecast data.
6.1.3 KATS Model
This model is a regional model developed by a consultant and covers all of Kalamazoo County and four townships in Van Buren County. It is a standard four-step model with time of day, a base year of 2010, and horizon year of 2045. Each of the four steps - trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and traffic assignment - are checked for reasonableness against

national standards. Final model validation verifies that the assigned volumes replicate actual traffic counts. The decennial 2010 census and American Community Survey are the sources of population and household base data. Employment data is developed from a private business database verified with local knowledge. Future data is based on the Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) economic and demographic forecasts. The University of Michigan and MDOT jointly develop county-specific forecast data.
6.1.4 Statewide Model
The statewide model developed by MDOT covers all counties in the state and was used for the non-urban parts of Calhoun and Van Buren counties. The model is a standard three-step trip generation, trip distribution, and assignment model, with a base year 2010 and a 2045 future year. Trip assignment uses an equilibrium method and was validated against traffic counts using MDOT standards and those suggested by FHWA.
6.1.5 Coding Travel Demand Model Links for NFC by Urban and Rural
For emission modeling, the National Functional Classification (NFC) system is used to determine the function of roads; however, NFCs after 2010 do not distinguish roads by urban and rural. The emission model, Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES), requires roads to be classified as urban or rural. MOVES requires roads to be grouped into one of four road types: rural restricted, rural unrestricted, urban restricted, and urban unrestricted. To determine a road’s urban or rural status, roads within the adjusted census urban boundary were considered urban and those outside as rural. NFCs designated as interstate and other freeways are considered restricted while all others are considered unrestricted. The Michigan Geographic Framework (GIS digital base map) was used to combine NFC with adjusted census urban boundary to generate MOVES road types for the network.
6.1.6 Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)
The EPA and FHWA endorse HPMS as the source of VMT estimates. The travel demand modeling VMT is aggregated by NFC road types for the county then normalized to HPMS data for the base year/validation year of the travel demand model. Normalization factors were applied to all analysis years.
6.2 Analysis Years
Analysis years were determined by the MITC-IAWG. Projects requiring modeling are grouped into an analysis year based on the project’s open to traffic date. Emissions are generated for each analysis year.
Analysis Year Reason 2020 Interim year (so analysis years not more than 10 years apart) 2030 Interim year (so analysis years not more than 10 years apart) 2040 Last year of BCATS long-range transportation plan 2045 Last year of KATS long-range transportation plan

7.4 Transportation Control Measures
There are no transportation control measures (TCMs) identified in the applicable state implementation plan. Thus, no measures are included at this time.
8.0 Emission Modeling
8.1 MOVES Specifications
The EPA’s MOVES version MOVES2014b was used to generate emissions. Ozone is formed in the presence of heat and sunlight, so the highest ozone concentrations are monitored during the summer. This conformity analysis involves generating a summer (July) weekday emissions to simulate the meteorology of a high-ozone summer day.
8.2 Road Type Distribution
HPMS data is used to create MOVES road-type distribution fractions. County-level HPMS passenger data is used for motorcycle and passenger vehicles, and commercial HPMS is used for trucks and buses. HPMS VMT is aggregated to MOVES road types then converted to a fraction, generating a road-type distribution.
8.3 Average Speed
Speed distributions are created using a method developed by EPA for taking a single average speed and creating a distribution. The method generates an average speed fraction by MOVES road type, by day, by hour, and speed bin from speeds generated by the travel demand forecasting models. The same distribution is used for each vehicle type.
8.4 Ramp Fraction
The default vehicle hours traveled ramp fraction of 8 percent was used.
8.5 Average Weekday VMT to Annual VMT
Monthly VMT adjustment factors were obtained from MDOT’s data collection area. The EPA's AADVT Converter-Tool MOVES 2014 was used to convert annual average daily VMT to annual VMT, monthly VMT fractions, and daily VMT fractions. Hourly fractions use MOVES default data. For motorcycles, the monthly fractions use MOVES defaults since local data is limited. Future analysis years utilize the same fractions.
8.6 Vehicle Population
The source of the vehicle population is the Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) vehicle registration database of 2012. The database was supplemented with school bus data from the Michigan Department of Education and MDOT public transit bus data. The EPA's default
Meeting Materials Page 31 of 83
13 | P a g e Draft for public comment
distributions were used to determine intercity bus, refuse truck, single-unit truck, and combination truck categories. The SOS data must be converted to MOVES source (vehicle) types. Table 5 shows how vehicle body style combined with plate type and company code is used to obtain MOVES vehicle types.
Future year vehicle population is based on growth in VMT from base year to analysis year. Growth rate is applied to all MOVES vehicle types. Table 3 shows the VMT for each analysis year and growth rate.
8.7 Vehicle Age Distribution
MOVES requires vehicle age as one of the local data inputs. The Michigan SOS vehicle registration database of 2012 was the source of vehicle ages. Vehicles are assigned to an age group, from 0 to 30-plus, based on model year indicated in the SOS database, with 0 being the newest vehicles (2012 or newer) and each year is its own group until vehicles are 30 years and older, which are aggregated into the 30-plus group. The SOS database is sorted by MOVES vehicle types and age. For intercity buses, refuse trucks, single-unit trucks, and combination trucks, the EPA’s default age distribution are used to calculate splits in population because of limited numbers. Base-year age distribution fractions were used for all future years.
8.8 Other Local Data
The MOVES model allows input for other types of local data, if available. This conformity demonstration used default meteorology data since the budgets were developed using default data; thus, analysis should also. Lacking local data, defaults were used for hoteling (truck parking) and starts. The default fuel data is correct for Michigan.
9.0 Conclusion
Conformity has a two-step approval process. The MPOs must make a formal conformity determination through a resolution that the findings of this conformity analysis conform to the SIP; thus, emissions are at or below the budgets found in the SIP. Then FHWA, jointly with the FTA, after consultation with the EPA, issues a letter of concurrence with the determination.
The conformity analysis described here and conducted by MDOT, with support of BCATS and KATS, concludes that the BCATS 2040 LRTP and 2017-20 TIP, KATS 2045 LRTP and 2017-20 TIP, and the rural projects meet all applicable requirements for conformity for the 1997 ozone standard; thus, it is recommended for approval by FHWA.

The interagency work group meeting was facilitated by slides. The slides are provided with a summary of discussion related to slide below it. Some slides had no discussion.
It was emphasized this is a collaborative process and the group was encouraged to ask questions and have a discussion. The group is here to discuss the rules (maybe set them up), to evaluate the road projects in the LRTPs and TIPs and those projects in the rural area (outside the MPOs), to ensure emissions from on-road travel are consistent with the goals of the SIP. The question was asked if the name “Kalamazoo – Battle Creek” was the correct name for the conformity area. The federal register was checked when the area was designated as a 1997 ozone nonattainment area in 2004 and it is correct.
The Kalamazoo – Battle Creek conformity area is comprised of three counties; Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Van Buren.
The group discussed the court case decisions. Status of the area is attainment but must do conformity for the reminder of the maintenance period which will be until 2027. It was stated that a conformity finding needs to be in place on Feb. 16, 2019 - that means an approval letter from FHWA. Next year’s new TIP will need to conform, too. It was offered to the Kalamazoo TMA, if they wanted, that MDOT would run the emission model for conformity until Sept. 30, 2019, to assist the MPOs in meeting the February 2019 date and getting through the new TIP development. Kalamazoo TMA said they would accept MDOT’s offer. It was stated that even though it is required to do conformity, the area is only considered a maintenance area for anti-backsliding. The status of the area is attainment, so the LRTP update cycle will stay five years. Discussed briefly was the travel demand model base and horizon year and the need for the MPOs to have the same years. Emissions are generated in the MOVES model at the county level. MPOs in the same county need to have the same base year. It is better to have the same base year in case the MPOs boundary expands into the next county and to limit the interim years required. MPOs in different counties, within the same conformity area, can have different base years but need to have the same interim years and horizon year.

Everyone indicated they had received a copy of the Transportations Conformity SIP MOA. It was asked why SEMCOG was the only MPO that signed. The answer was because SEMCOG was the only nonattainment or maintenance area at the time the document was signed. Since Battle Creek and Kalamazoo MPOs are in an attainment area, technically they don’t have to sign the document. But these are the rules we use in Michigan, so all IAWGs are following the same format and rules, and the majority are included in Transportation Conformity Rule. The Transportation Conformity SIP provides an easier way to understand the rules and process.
There was discussion on what is being conformed. The LTRP with all the projects from the TIP are conformed together. This gives a base, so moving forward it will need to be seen if projects would change the conformity emissions. Any amendments after conformity analysis projects are assembled will need to be reviewed by the IAWG. The question was asked whether the changes to the TIP could potentially change the conformity analysis. If all projects are exempt, then conformity analysis is still valid. Conformity will need to be done on existing LRTP and TIP, so conformity analysis will need to be in place for Feb. 16, 2019.

It was asked even though TMAs are generally responsible for running the travel demand model and emission model if MDOT would do it. MDOT will run the emission model through Sept. 30, 2019. The TMA will provide the travel demand model inputs needed for MOVES and MDOT will run MOVES.

One of the main functions of the IAWG is to evaluate projects for conformity analysis. The projects that form the LRTP and TIP are evaluated for conformity. We are doing regional conformity – conformity must be determined every four years. Conformity must be determined before federal approval or acceptance.
Non-federal projects only need to be included in regional conformity if determined to be regionally significant for air quality.
Meeting Materials Page 39 of 83
21 | P a g e Draft for public comment
Projects that are 100 percent state or locally funded and do not require any federal approval are not required to be included in the conformity analysis unless determined to be regionally significant for air quality. The IAWG can make the definition more restrictive but not less. The group was not ready to decide the definition at this meeting. Regionally significant projects need to be modeled in a conformity analysis but won’t trigger a conformity analysis.
All projects need to be evaluated to determine if they need to be included in a conformity analysis. The evaluation is to determine if the project is exempt or nonexempt. If a project is classified as exempt it does not need to be included in the conformity analysis. One of the main tasks of the IAWG is to determine if a project is exempt; thus, the project does not need to be included in the conformity analysis. Table 2 shows projects that have a minor or limited impact on air quality. It is important to understand why a project is exempt.

There was a question on why transportation enhancement activities are exempt but rehabilitation is not. This will be clarified; it’s not an issue now but an MPO had a project like this in the past.

Table 3 includes projects that are exempt from regional conformity but not project-level, which is a more detailed analysis. We are doing regional analysis. These types of projects have local impacts on air quality and we are doing regional conformity.

As a project moves from design to build, its status as exempt can change.

The emissions generated from the conformity analysis must be equal or less than the budget or otherwise known as the MVEB. The MVEB is the portion of the total allowable emissions in the area allocated to highway and transit vehicles. By being below the SIP budget, the LRTP and TIP are conforming to the SIP. The budget is the combined emissions for all three counties; emissions are generated at the county level. The emission budget will stay the same until a second maintenance plan is developed. It was emphasized the conformity needs to be done on the current LRTPs and TIPs.
The question was asked if this administrative modification was based on the federal definition. FHWA was going to determine an answer to this. Because we are starting the process with some projects having already been determined to be part of an administrative modification list, all projects on that list should be evaluated for exempt or nonexempt status. Then, if an amendment is an administrative modification, it would be exempt. There was discussion about moving a project

within an analysis year group. If a project’s open-to-traffic date was 2032 and moved to 2034, this would not cause a new conformity analysis. But moving the project from 2034 to an open-to-traffic date of 2022 would cause a new conformity analysis because it is moving the project to a new analysis year group. The timeframe to do a conformity analysis was discussed, estimating it will take 60 days from IAWG meeting to start of public comment period. Once the process has been completed a few times it could be less but right now that is what MDOT is estimating.
All projects need to be presented to the IAWG. The question was asked if projects need to be sent to IAWG for review every time the MPO does an amendment. Yes, even if they are on the exempt list. It is the job of IAWG to determine a project’s status.
There was discussion on use of the public participation plan. Since they do not have conformity analysis specifically listed, the MPOs should use the requirements for the TIP and or LRTP.

1) Review analysis years and model information. 2) Review project lists.
Project lists are color coded, with yellow being non-exempt projects, orange being exempt but might want to discuss, and blue are project that need more information for a decision to be made. Workbooks may have more than one worksheet.
3) Update on South Coast II court decision. Kalamazoo-Battle Creek MITC-IAWG reviewed and agreed with the analysis years. The group decided that since 2018 would be past once the analysis was conducted it would be not be used as an analysis year. Base year 2010 with analysis years of 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045 would be used. The group discussed the project list. All the projects in the Battle Creek MPO area were determined to be exempt. The same was true for those projects in the STIP in Calhoun County. The project list from Kalamazoo MPO was discussed, including projects in Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties. Duplicate projects in the list were discussed and projects noted. It was stated that since a conformity analysis is being conducted, any project exempt or non-exempt that can be modeled with the travel demand model would be modeled. It was discussed that complete project descriptions would assist in determining project status of exempt versus non-exempt. Road diets were discussed. If a road diet is less than a mile could it be considered exempt? It could be but it would still need to be discussed by the IAWG, not an automatic exempt. FHWA would like further consideration of this and is waiting for more guidance from their headquarters on this topic. FHWA said that, with the prevalence of road diets in Michigan, they are concerned with not having more specific criteria. Michigan will have a statewide IAWG meeting on road diets to discuss these issues. The list of road projects from the STIP in Van Buren County was discussed. All projects are exempt. An update on the South Coast II court decision was provided and discussed. It was stated the EPA has released guidance on the requirements for the 1997 ozone areas. The guidance states what does not need to be done; areas do not need to run the emission model (MOVES) but need to do everything else, which includes IAWG to review projects, create a conformity document, and have a policy committee resolution. FHWA is coming out with a template on what a conformity document would be without analysis. As part of the court decision, areas need to have in place a second maintenance plan. DEQ is currently working on these plans. Most 1997 areas in Michigan, it appears, will qualify for a “limited maintenance plan.” Once these second maintenance plans are in place, the conformity process will significantly diminish. Based on the unstable environment of the court case, and that doing the emission analysis is not much more work given the stability it will provide, we are going to continue to do a traditional conformity analysis to meet the Feb. 16, 2019, due date from the court. The conformity process was discussed. Once the conformity analysis document is completed, it will

need to go out for public comment and then each of the MPO policy committees will need to make a formal resolution supporting the findings. The public comment process should be what the MPO has in their public involvement plan. If they don’t have a specific mention of air quality conformity analysis, they should use what is most appropriate. Future TIP amendments were discussed. All future TIP amendments need to be reviewed by the IAWG. IAWG meetings can be conducted by e-mail if all the projects are exempt. If an amendment contains a non-exempt project, a conference call IAWG will need to be held. A conference call can also be held even if all projects are exempt. It was asked for a list of IAWG contacts. The appointment for this meeting contains the list of contacts. One of the reasons a group list or blind copying is not used is so participants know the group.

RESOLUTION
Supporting Application for FY 2022 Local Bridge Program Funds For
Village of Augusta Bridge # STR 4666
WHEREAS, the Washington Street Bridge over the canal of Augusta Creek in the Village of Augusta, Kalamazoo County, Michigan, was constructed in 1921 as a steel I-beam structure and is in poor condition; and
WHEREAS, the current deterioration places a risk on the longevity of the bridge, the service it provides and its value as an important transportation system asset with a current load rating of 5 tons; and
WHEREAS, the investment in the complete bridge replacement will improve the condition of the bridge, avoiding more costly repairs in the future; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Augusta has prepared an application for Local Bridge Program Funds to replace this structure; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council will consider the application for Local Bridge Program Funds and authorize the submission of the application for Local Bridge Program Funds for FY 2022.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study Technical Committee supports the consideration of the Village of Augusta application for Local Bridge Program Funds.

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT
FOR TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES PROJECT
FOR
STADIUM DRIVE SHARED-USE NON-MOTORIZED FACILITY WITHIN THE OSHTEMO DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AREA (8TH STREET TO 617
FEET WEST OF QUAIL RUN DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Federal Transportation Act provides funding towards transportation alternatives for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, access to public transportation, enhanced mobility and safety, and the Michigan Department of Transportation is soliciting new candidate projects for Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grants; and
WHEREAS, Oshtemo Township has identified an improvement project on Stadium Drive, a public road that is within the municipal jurisdiction of Oshtemo Township; and
WHEREAS, the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study (KATS) awarded Oshtemo Township a local TAP grant for 2020 to construct a six-foot wide shared-use pathway on both sides of Stadium Drive from 11th Street to 617 feet west of Quail Run Drive and constructing both segments of the non-motorized facility at the same time would be a cost-effective use of Township funds; and
WHEREAS, Oshtemo Township created the Go! Green Oshtemo Master Plan and Non-motorized update wherein the construction of a non-motorized facility along Stadium Drive is a highest priority non-motorized facility for Oshtemo Township; and
WHEREAS, Oshtemo Township approved and submitted an application to the Road Commission of Kalamazoo County to build a non-motorized facility within the public right-of-way, and provided preliminary design plans as a basis to initiate negotiations with the Road Commission of Kalamazoo County for Oshtemo to be responsible for the grant’s required local matching funds plus all non-eligible project costs estimated to be $400,000; and
WHEREAS, the Road Commission of Kalamazoo County has accepted said application for a non-motorized facility improvement in the form of a six-foot wide shared-use pathway, along both sides of Stadium Drive, providing barrier-free non-motorized access, a connector to commercial centers adjacent to Stadium Drive, plus necessary pedestrian access to single and multi-family housing within this well-traveled corridor; and
WHEREAS, Oshtemo Township caused to be created a Downtown Development Authority along Stadium Drive and 9th Street whose principal purpose is tax increment financing to revitalize and preserve the economic and social vitality of the corridor, and whose initial plan has adopted as its principle effort the provision of non-motorized facilities; and
WHEREAS, upon ratification of the award of the funding and execution by the respective local authorities (Road Commission of Kalamazoo and Oshtemo Township) of necessary inter-
Meeting Materials Page 82 of 83
local agreements for the Transportation Alternatives Projects, the parties will proceed toward construction letting by summer of 2020; and
WHEREAS, Oshtemo Township, within its Non-Motorized Facility Agreement with the Road Commission of Kalamazoo County approved by unanimous vote of the Oshtemo Township Board on March 13, 2018, will provide engineering documents for the non-motorized facility, obtain all permits, and fund potential cost overruns and non-participating items, and maintain the Stadium Drive non-motorized facility in perpetuity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study Technical Committee recognizes the importance of a non-motorized facility on this heavily trafficked corridor and supports Oshtemo Township’s application for TAP grant funding.
