ACTION ITEMS


ENCLOSURE A


ENCLOSURE A ALL COMMITTEES

SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution FL-AL 21-12 to Adopt Targets for Safety Performance Measures ORIGIN OF SUBJECT: Federal Transportation Legislation Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, Federal Highway Administration, and Alabama and Florida Departments of Transportation LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTION NEEDED: None BACKGROUND: Transportation Planning Organizations (TPOs) are required to adopt targets for Safety Performance Measures by February 27 each year. Since the Florida-Alabama TPO Planning Boundary crosses state lines, the TPO must plan and program projects to contribute towards separate targets—one set for each state in which the planning area boundary extends state lines. The TPOs can either accept the DOT targets or establish their own targets (see requirements in the next paragraph). In 2018, 2019, 2020, the Florida-Alabama TPO accepted the DOT targets for Safety Performance Measures by adopting Resolutions FL-AL 18-01, FL-AL 19-01, and FL 20-01. The necessary language for Safety Performance Measures was incorporated into the FY 2019-2023, FY 2020-2024, and FY 2021-2025 Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) and amendments to the TIP and the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan.

If a TPO agrees to support a State Highway Improvement Program Target, the TPO would • Work with state and safety stakeholders to address areas of concern for fatalities or serious

injuries within the metropolitan planning area. • Coordinate with the State and include the safety performance measures and the State’s

Highway Improvement Program targets for those measures in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

• Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives, performance measures and targets described in other state safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the Highway Safety Improvement Program, including the Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

• Include a description in the Transportation Improvement Program of the anticipated effect of the Transportation Improvement Program toward achieving Highway Safety Improvement Program targets in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, linking investment priorities in the Transportation Improvement Program to those safety targets.

If a TPO establishes its own Safety Performance Target, the TPO would • Establish Highway Safety Improvement Program targets for all public roads in the

metropolitan planning area in coordination with the state. • Estimate vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for all public roads within the metropolitan planning

area for rate targets. • Coordinate with the state and include the safety performance measures and the TPO’s

safety targets for those measures in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. • Integrate into the metropolitan transportation planning process, the safety goals, objectives,

performance measures and targets described in other state safety transportation plans and processes such as applicable portions of the Highway Safety Improvement Program, including the Strategic Highway Safety Plan.


• Include a description in the Transportation Improvement Program of the anticipated effect of the Transportation Improvement Program toward achieving Highway Safety Improvement Program targets in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, linking investment priorities in the Transportation Improvement Program to those safety targets.

The Florida Department of Transportation has adopted a “Vision Zero” target for the five safety measures. This “Vision Zero” target is based on the Florida Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The Alabama Department of Transportation has a “Toward Zero Death Initiative.” The table below illustrates the targets the TPO adopted in 2018, 2019, 2020 as well as DOT targets for 2021. The targets are based on a five-year rolling average:2018 (2012-2016), 2019 (2013-2017), 2020 (2014-2018) and 2021 (2015-2019). At the January TPO and advisory committees, it was mentioned that if there was a desire to set targets for safety which are different from FDOT and ALDOT, to please e-mail Gary Kramer of the ECRC by January 16, 2021. No e-mails were received regarding the setting of targets different than the DOT targets by January 16, 2021.

ALDOT (2021) 961 1.364 6,595 9.355 366 FDOT’s METHODOLOGY Florida shares the national traffic safety vision “Toward Zero Deaths,” and formally adopted their own version of the national vision, “Driving Down Fatalities.” FDOT is committed to eliminating fatalities and reducing serious injuries with the understanding that the death of any person is unacceptable and based on that, zero deaths is the FDOT safety performance target. This target is consistent throughout the FDOT Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Highway Safety Improvement Program and Highway Safety Plan. Number of Fatalities


Based on statistical forecasting, the five-year rolling average for total fatalities on Florida’s roads is forecasted to be between 2,947 and 3,284 in 2021. This forecast was made by combining Fatality Analysis Reporting System data with current state data from 2009 to 2019 to predict probable outcomes for 2020 and 2021. Florida’s target for fatalities is zero in 2021. While the data forecast indicates Florida’s five-year rolling average for fatalities could continue to trend upward in 2020 and 2021, the FDOT State Safety Office expects the projects chosen for funding will mitigate the data forecast and ultimately reduce the number of traffic fatalities. Number of Serious Injuries Based on statistical forecasting, the five-year rolling average for serious injuries on Florida’s roads is forecasted to be between 17,481 and 18,894 in 2021. This forecast was made by combining Fatality Analysis Reporting System data with current state data from 2009 to 2019 to predict probable outcomes for 2020 and 2021. Florida’s target for serious injuries is zero in 2021. The data forecast indicates Florida’s five-year rolling average of serious injuries will continue to trend downward in 2020 and 2021. The FDOT State Office expects the projects chosen for funding will enhance this downward trend in the number of serious injuries on Florida’s roads. Fatality Rate Based on statistical forecasting, the five-year rolling average for fatality rate per 100 million VMT on Florida’s roads in forecasted to be between 0.91 and 1.83 in 2021. This forecast was made by combining Fatality Analysis Report System data with current state data from 2009 to 2019 to predict probable outcomes for 2020 and 2021. Florida’s target for fatality rate per 100 million VMT is zero in 2021. While data forecasts indicate Florida’s fatality rate per 100 million VMT will trend downward in 2020 and 2021, the FDOT State Safety Office expects the projects chosen for funding will enhance this downward trend and ultimately reduce the fatality rate per 100 million VMT. Serious Injury Rate Based on statistical forecasting, the five-year rolling average for serious injury rate per 100 million VMT on Florida’s roads is forecasted to be between 6.50 and 9.48 in 2021. This forecast was made by using current state data from 2009 to 2019 to predict probable outcomes for 2020 and 2021. Florida’s target for serious injury rate per 100 million VMT is zero in 2021. While the data forecast indicates Florida’s serious injury rate per 100 million VMT could continue to trend downward in 2020 and 2021, the FDOT State Safety Office expects the projects chosen for funding will enhance this downward trend in the number of serious injuries on Florida’s roads. Total Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries Based on statistical forecasting, number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries on Florida’s roads is forecasted to be between 3,104 and 3,402 in 2021. This forecast was made by combining Fatality Analysis Report System data with current state data from 2009 to 2019 to predict probable outcomes for 2020 and 2021. Florida’s target for number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries is zero in 2021. While the data forecast indicates Florida’s number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries could continue to trend downward in 2020 and 2021, the FDOT State Safety Office expects the projects chosen for funding will enhance this downward trend in the number of pedestrian fatalities. ALDOT’s METHODOLOGY Number of Fatalities


This performance target was developed through a trend line analysis of the five-year moving average for fatalities. This analysis determined the five-year moving average trend of fatalities in Alabama. This target supports the Strategic Highway Safety Plan by helping Alabama focus its strategy, investment, and making decisions on allocating its resources to reduce long-term fatality trends.

Number of Serious Injuries This performance target was developed through a trend line analysis of the five-year moving average for serious injuries. This analysis determined the five-year moving trends of serious injuries in Alabama. This target supports the Strategic Highway Safety Plan by helping Alabama focus its strategy, investment, and making decisions on allocating its resources to reduce long-term serious injury trends.

Fatality Rate This performance target was developed using the serious injuries rate and an estimated 1% growth in VMT (VMT) from the previous year. This target represents the projected fatalities as a ratio of 100 million VMT. This target supports the Strategic Highway Safety Plan by helping Alabama focus its strategy, investment, and making decisions on allocating its resources to reduce serious injury rate trends.

This target supports the Highway Safety Improvement Plan by helping Alabama focus its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to reduce long-term serious injury rate trends.

Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries This performance target was developed through a trend line analysis of the five-year moving average for non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries. This analysis determined the non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries five-year moving average trend of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries. This target supports the Strategic Highway Safety Plan by helping Alabama focus its strategy, investment, and making decisions on allocating its resources to reduce long-term non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries trends.

Attached is the following: • Resolution FL-AL 21-12

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of a motion to authorize the TPO chairman to sign Resolution FL-AL 21-12 to adopt targets for Safety Performance Measures. This action is recommended to comply with February 27, 2021 deadline to remain in compliance with the Federal and State Regulations for transportation planning.

This project was the FL-AL TA #1 priority submittal for 2019 and 2020 but was not selected based on the availability of funding and the competitiveness of other applications submitted. Additional phases are identified, but the current submittal is only for Segment 1, L Street. Total project cost estimated at $821,253, segmenting project into prioritized phases: (1) Priority 1, L Street, $332,858; (2) Priority 2, Gregory Street, $432,566; and (3) Priority 3, Wright Street, $55,827. This project was ranked #1 for the 2020 FL-AL TPO TA priorities. ECRC workshop review recommends this project as #1 priority.


Milton Project Summary

Multi-Modal Collector Phase 1

Applicant is requesting $190,733 for design, construction, and CEI, for a bike-ped facility to provide network continuity from Milton (SR 87 / Stewart Street) to the Bagdad Mill Site Park and Village (Broad St) (approx. 0.4 mile) with10-ft multi-use trails, 5-ft sidewalks, 2 crosswalks and one bike-ped bridge. This is a multi-phase project, consisting of Phases I-V. Funds for Phase I are being requested. Phase I is from Stewart Street to Carpenter’s Park. Phase I has two segments. The first segment begins at the intersection of Stewart Street and Munson Highway; from the existing sidewalk on the west side of Stewart Street to include a mid-block crosswalk that connects to Munson Highway. Five-ft sidewalks will then extend along the south side of Munson Highway to the Blackwater Heritage Trail. The second segment is a 10-ft multi-use trail that starts from the east side of the Blackwater Heritage Trail and diverts south to Broad Street with a 10-ft multi-use trail located on the west of Broad Street. This connects, with a crosswalk, to existing sidewalks on the east side of Broad Street at Carpenter’s Park. The City will contribute a 10% monetary match. The City of Milton will need to secure Local Agency Program (LAP) project certification from FDOT if this project is selected for TA funding. This project was the FL-AL TPO TA 2020 #2 priority. ECRC workshop review recommends this project as #2 priority.


Escambia County Project Summaries

Blue Angel Parkway Multi-Use Path

Applicant is requesting $1,721,266 for design, construction, and CEI of a multi-use path on the west side of Blue Angel Parkway/SR 173 from Gulf Beach Highway north to Sorrento Road/SR 292. The multi-use path would be approximately 10 feet wide and 8,500 feet or 1.6 miles in length. There is one bridge crossing (approximately 140'). The multi-use path would stay towards the back of the right-of-way and employ the use of a separate pedestrian bridge. This path will provide the needed connectivity between the end of the sidewalks in the proposed Blue Angel Parkway widening project and the existing Gulf Beach Highway sidewalks. The proposed project would provide connectivity by filling in the gap to create a fully connected pedestrian and bicycle facility from Lillian Highway down to Perdido Key and the Alabama State line. This path will provide access to two state parks (Perdido Key and Big Lagoon) as well as provide access to the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Crosswalk Upgrades

Applicant is requesting $368,768 for design, construction, and CEI to upgrade 10 school crosswalks, two for each district. This project will implement raised crosswalks, high visibility pavement markings and/or signs to improve safety and access. The locations proposed include:

1. E. Johnson Avenue associated school is Ensley Elementary School

2. Ten Mile Road associated school is LD McArthur Elementary

3. Patton Drive associated school is Navy Point Elementary

4. Longleaf Drive associated schools are Longleaf Elementary & Pine Forest High

5. Community Drive associated schools are Longleaf Elementary & Pine Forest High

6. Bauer Road associated school is Bailey Middle School

7. Kingsfield Road associated schools are Ransom Elementary & Middle

8. Via De Luna Drive associate school is Pensacola Beach Charter

9. Untreiner Avenue associated school is Lincoln Park Elementary

10. Lanier Drive associated school is Reinhardt Holm Elementary

Each of these 10 locations represent high risk school pedestrian crossings. The first ten crosswalk upgrade sites were chosen based on an analysis of safety risk, crosswalk condition, and use.


Santa Rosa County Project Summaries

Hamilton Bridge Rd Sidewalk Phase 2

Applicant is requesting $631,099 for construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk from Emerald Drive to Jim Dandy Lane. Phase 1 connected to the Navy Outlying Landing Field Spencer sidewalks and Benny Russel Park. Together, they form the center portion of pedestrian access from Chumuckla Highway (CR 197) to Dogwood Drive (SR 89). The Hamilton Bridge sidewalks connect three subdivisions on the north side of Hamilton Bridge Road and two subdivisions on the south side. This project will complete the connection to the third subdivision on the north side.

Panhandle Trail Bike Lanes

Applicant is requesting $1,553,777 for design, construction, and CEI of bike lanes (5-ft bike with 2-ft buffer per updated standards) on both sides of Panhandle Trail from US 98 to East River Drive (approx. 1 mile). This project was previously submitted (FY16, FY17, FY18, FY20). Panhandle Trail is a north-south connector between US 98 and SR 87. The proposed improvements serve as a multimodal transportation link that will increase bicycle pedestrian safety and promote increased awareness. The Panhandle Trail bike lanes provide opportunity to make connections to Navarre High School, the YMCA, and Navarre Sports Complex.

ORIGIN OF SUBJECT: 23 Code of Federal Regulations Section 134(j), Chapter 339.175 (8)(b) Florida Statutes, Florida-Alabama TPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Task C.1

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTION NEEDED: None

BACKGROUND: Each June the TPO reviews and adopts transportation project priorities for submittal to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) by August 1st. This document is part of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) development process. Its purpose is to ensure that transportation projects programmed by FDOT in the Five-Year Work Program are consistent with local needs and plans for the TPO planning area.

As stated in the TPO Public Participation Process Plan, the Project Priorities result from the Long- Range Transportation Plan’s Cost Feasible Plan and are reviewed with the TPO, the advisory committees, and the public annually. Once approved by the TPO , the Project Priorities are given to FDOT to use in developing the Five-Year Work Program. From the Five-Year Work Program, the TPO develops the TIP which contains all transportation programs and projects scheduled during the next five-year cycle. The TIP is revised annually and is available, in interactive format, on the TPO’s website.

The Project Priorities and TIP must be developed by the TPO in consultation with all interested parties and, at a minimum, describe explicit procedures, strategies, and desired outcomes for the following, as outlined by the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR 450.316) and the MPO Handbook:

• Provide reasonable public access to technical and policy information used• Provide adequate public notice of public involvement activities and time for public review

and comment at key decisions, such as but not limited to the approval of the TIP/ProjectPriorities

• Demonstrate explicit consideration and response to public input received during plandevelopment process

• Make the TIP and Project Priorities drafts and final documents available on the TPO websiteat www.ecrc.org, a print copy of the current plan is available upon request

FDOT Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Tentative Work Program – Ms. Christy Johnson, AICP, FDOT Urban Liaison Ms. Johnson presented. She reported that no projects were removed from the tentative work program, but that some projects were deferred out a few years.

Mr. Fisher stated that his question for the TPO board was what the safety concerns for Highway 29 are and would those concerns be worth putting it before the Beulah interchange project. Mr. Kramer stated that according to the project priorities for SIS US Highway 29 is currently number one and the Beulah interchange at I-10 is the number two SIS priority. Mr. Fisher moved to recommend the TPO to look at the needs of Highway 29 interchange and determine if it is worth putting before the Beulah interchange. Ms. D’Angelo seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved. Ms. D’Angelo moved to recommend the TPO to endorse recommendations made by the Escambia County Engineering Department for the Pace Blvd. resurfacing, including the reduction of lane widths, a buffer bike lane, high visibility crosswalks, and any other applicable traffic calming and safety improvements. Mr. Ziarnek seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.

Ms. D’Angelo moved to recommend the TPO to endorse recommendations made by the Escambia County Engineering department for the Garden Street resurfacing, including the



reduction of lane widths, a buffer bike lane, high visibility crosswalks and any other applicable traffic calming and safety improvements. Mr. Ziarnek seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.

Mr. Mount asked if any of the local governments proposed these suggestions or concepts to FDOT. He stated that resurfacing projects do not normally go through the TPO process because there is a section criteria percentage that FDOT requires to maintain on these roads. He said that ECRC is happy to propose these recommendations to the TPO board but FDOT has already budgeted and started on the design on these projects. Ms. D’Angelo stated that often, local city representatives do not know when it is appropriate to make recommendations and it’s not until the tentative work program comes out where these types of improvements are noticed.

Mr. Forte stated that he made a request through the department and FDOT stated that any time a project is being developed in the scoping phase, a draft would be sent to the City of Pensacola to allow for comments. Ms. D’Angelo moved to recommend the TPO to request that FDOT add a 30% design phase to resurfacing projects to allow for review by the local jurisdiction earlier in the design process. Mr. Ziarnek seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved. Mr. Ziarnek moved to recommend the TPO authorize the TPO chairman to sign Resolution FL-AL 21-01 accepting the FDOT Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Tentative Work Program.
