General Overview of the TIP Thetransportationsysteminametropolitanplanningarea isvital forthemovementofpeopleand
goodsto,through,from,andwithinthearea. Atransportationsystemtakesontwoprimaryroles:
themovement of people and themovement of goods. The transportation improvement program
(TIP) is ametropolitan area’s regionally agreed upon list of surface transportation improvements
that received Federal funding to move goods and people in a metropolitan area’s transportation
system.
The TIP and Federal Guidance
Congress passed the Federal‐AidHighwayAct of1962, requiring regional agencies to conduct a
"continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated" (3‐C) transportation planning process. Congress
took additional steps in drafting the Federal‐AidHighwayActof1973 by establishingMetropolitan
Planning Organizations (MPO) in urbanized areas over 50,000 persons in population, and by
dedicating to MPOs a small portion of each state's funding from the Highway Trust Fund. The
2
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) empowered and provided for
flexibility in the use of funding, improved state‐regional cooperation, and enhanced public
participation. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA‐21) legislation of 1998
expanded the role and responsibilities of metropolitan areas exceeding 200,000 persons in
populationwith thedesignationof TransportationManagementAreas (TMA). In2005,Congress
passed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA‐LU).
SAFETEA‐LU guaranteed funding for highways, highway safety, and public transportation through
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 (September 30, 2009). Since then, the United States Senate has
passed continuing resolutions to extend SAFETEA‐LU and to provide appropriations for transit
programs through 2012 at funding levels consistent with authorized 2009 levels. SAFETEA‐LU
addressed themany challenges facing transportation systems including improving safety, reducing
trafficcongestion,improvingefficiencyinfreightmovement,increasingintermodalconnectivity,and
protecting the environment. SAFETEA‐LU promotedmore efficient and effective Federal surface
transportationprogramsby focusingon transportation issuesofnational significance,whilegiving
state and local transportation decisionmakersmore flexibility to solve transportation problems in
theircommunities.1
On July 6, 2012,MovingAhead forProgress in the21stCenturyAct (MAP‐21)was signed into law
replacingSAFETEA‐LU. MAP‐21providesessential funds for transportationprojects ranging from
passenger rail, freight transportation, highway and bridge projects, and bicycle and pedestrian
projects. MAP‐21tookeffectonOctober1,2012,andfundssurfacetransportationprojectsthrough
September30, 2014. The bill provides $105billion in fundingper year for Federal Fiscal Year’s
(FFY)2013and2014.MAP‐21includesanumberofmajorchangesincludingtheeliminationofthe

Federal Transportation Planning Process Title23of theUnitedStatesCodeofFederalRegulations (CFR),Section450,SubpartC, states that
MPOsaretocarryouta:
“…continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive multimodal transportation planningprocess, including the development of a metropolitan transportation plan and a
transportation improvement program (TIP), that encourages and promotes the safe
and efficient development, management, and operation of surface transportationsystems to serve the mobility needs of people and freight (including accessible
pedestrianwalkwaysandbicycletransportationfacilities)and fostereconomicgrowth
and development, while minimizing transportation‐related fuel consumption and airpollution.”
Section 450.306 identifies eight planning factors to identify the “scope of the metropolitan
transportationplanningprocess.” Theseinclude:
1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling
globalcompetitiveness,productivity,andefficiency;
2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized andnon‐motorizedusers;
3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and
non‐motorizedusers;4. Increaseaccessibilityandmobilityofpeopleandfreight;
5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and
improve consistency between transportation improvements and State and local
plannedgrowthandeconomicpatterns;6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across
andbetweenmodes,forpeopleandfreight;
7. Promoteefficientsystemmanagementandoperation;and,8. Emphasizethepreservationoftheexistingtransportationsystem.
Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
The Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (Des Moines Area MPO) serves as the
formal transportationplanningbody for thegreaterDesMoines, Iowa,metropolitanarea,carrying
out the intent of Title 23 of the United States CFR, Section 450. In 1983, the Governor of Iowa
designated theDesMoines AreaMPO as the officialMPO for theDesMoinesUrbanizedArea, as
4
definedbytheU.S.BureauoftheCensus. Inaddition,theDesMoinesAreaMPOisdesignatedasa
TransportationManagement Area, per Section 450.104, as it exceeds the population threshold of
200,000persons. TheDesMoinesAreaMPOworkstocarryouta3‐Cmultimodaltransportation

Responsibilities
TheDesMoinesAreaMPOprovidesaregionalforumtoassurelocal,state,andFederalagenciesand
the public coordinate transportation planning issues, and to prepare transportation plans and
programs. The Des Moines Area MPO develops both long and short‐range multimodal
transportationplans,selectsandapprovesprojectsforFederalfundingbasedonregionalpriorities,
anddevelopsmethodstoreducetrafficcongestion.
The Des Moines Area MPO is responsible for these transportation planning activities within the
geographic area identified as theMetropolitan PlanningArea (MPA). TheDesMoines AreaMPO

consistencyamongproposedshort‐andlong‐rangeprojects,strategies,plans,andprograms.
TIP Adoption
AdoptionoftheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sFFY2015‐2018TIPissubjecttotheDesMoinesAreaMPO’s
review and approval. The review process consists of a public comment period that offers
opportunities for reviewandcommentof thedraftFFY2015‐2018TIP. At the conclusionof the
publicreviewperiod,DesMoinesAreaMPOstaffreviewsandsummarizesallsubmittedcomments
andpresentsthefindingstotheDesMoinesAreaMPOcommitteesforconsiderationintothefinal
FFY2015‐2018TIP. TheDesMoinesAreaMPOsubmitsthefinal(approved)FFY2015‐2018TIP,
with a copy of the formal resolution, to the IowaDOT. The IowaDOT then reviews the plan to
ensurecompliancewithFederalregulations.
Revising the TIP
UnderFederal law, the DesMoinesAreaMPO may revise the TIP at any time under procedures
agreed to by the cooperating parties consistent with the procedures established. Revisions are
changesthatoccurbetweenannualupdates.
TheIowaDOTidentifiestwotypesofrevisionstotheTIP:majorrevisions(amendments)andminor

CHAPTER TWO
Project Selection Procedures
The Des Moines Area MPO is responsible for selecting projects that use Surface Transportation
Program (STP) and Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding.When considering project
requests for STP or TAP funds, the MPO places primary emphasis upon metropolitan‐wide
transportationsystemimprovementneedsas identifiedintheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sLong‐Range
Transportation Plan, how those needs impact themovement of people and goods throughout this
metropolitanarea,andhowtherequestedprojectwillhavepotentialbenefitsandpotentialimpacts
onallcommunitiesintheDesMoinesmetropolitanarea. TheDesMoinesAreaMPOshallgivefirst
considerationtofundingregionallysignificanttransportationprojectsinthePlan.
Allprojectsapplying forDesMoinesAreaMPOSTPorTAP fundingmustbesponsoredbyoneor
moreof thesixteenDesMoinesAreaMPOmembergovernments, the IowaDOT,orDART. Other
entities in the Des Moines Area MPO MPA are eligible only with co‐sponsorship by one of the
organizations listed above. Additionally, all projects applying for Des Moines Area MPO STP
fundingmust be located on a federal‐aid eligible route. When applying for STP or TAP funds, a
sponsor must submit a resolution from that sponsor’s council, board of supervisors, or similar
governingbody,guaranteeingthelocalfundsfortheSTPandTAPmatchandauthorizingtheproject.
Surface Transportation Program Project Selection
FundingofprojectswithSTPorTAPfundsforinclusionintheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sTIPshallbe

1. TheIowaDOTannuallyallocatesSTPandTAPfundstotheDesMoinesAreaMPO;
2. The Des Moines Area MPO shall identify and shall consider all proposed project
fundingsourcesavailablewhenconsideringprojectfundingrequestsforDesMoines

3. JurisdictionsundertakingSTPandTAPprojectsmustbeartheinitialexpendituresof
theproject, and receive reimbursement foreligibleexpenditures, asdefinedby theIowaDOT. TheagreementwiththeIowaDOTprovidesforreimbursementofupto
80 percent of the project cost, or a set amount, whichever is less. Design and
engineeringcostsaregenerallyincurredintheearlystagesofaproject;
11
4. For roadwayandTAPprojects, theamountof fundsexpended forworkother thandirectconstructionorright‐of‐wayacquisitioncostsmustbecoveredbytheamount
ofthecontributionoflocalfunds. Federalregulationsgenerallyrequireaminimum
localmatchof20percentofthetotalprojectcost;
5. Each application for STP and TAP funding must include a detailed breakdown of
projected costs, including a summary of projected costs for work other thanconstructionorright‐of‐way;
6. Fundingwithin the various STPproject categories shall be basedon the followingpercentagesoftheDesMoinesAreaMPO’sannualSTPfundsamount,asfollows:

ThescoringcriterionforSTPandTAPprojectsislocatedinAppendixD.
Highway Bridge Program Project Selection
The primary factor in Highway Bridge Program project selection is condition. Counties
annually review the results from the bridge inspections and make funding decisions based on
these reports. Other factors that are considered include traffic counts, freight movement, and
detour lengths. For example, a bridge posted for weight limits that is on an important freight
and farm goods route might be replaced before other bridge that are in worse condition but don’t
have a significant impact on traffic movements.
Funding for Large, Multi‐Year Projects
Fundingoflarge,multi‐yearprojectswithmajorconstructioncategorySTPfundsforinclusioninthe

CHAPTER THREE
Funding Programs The followingchaptersummarized thevarious fundingprogramavailable forprojects in theDes
MoinesAreaMPO’splanningarea.
Surface Transportation Program
The purpose of the STP is to provide flexible funding that may be used by localities for
improvementsonanyFederal‐aidhighway,bridgeprojectsonanypublic road,and intracityand
intercity bus terminals and facilities. The STP is also intended to provide funding for transit
capital improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and regional transportation planning
activities.TheMPOestablishedfourSTPsubcategoriesforimprovements:
RegionallySignificant
Major Construction ‐ New: Projects create a new facility on a new alignment,
includingnewinterchangesorbridgereplacements,newrightofway.
MajorConstruction ‐Existing:Projects add capacity for a significant length of an
existing street or highway or adding lanes to an existing bridge, existing right ofway.
OtherProjects
Minor Construction: Projects provide “spot” improvements, such as arterial
intersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroad
crossingsignalimprovements.
Preservation:Projectsthatmaintainorpreservetheexistinginfrastructure,suchas
pavementresurfacing,pavementreplacement,andbridgerestoration.
17
Alternative Transportation: Project improvements other than for single occupant
vehicle use, such as pedestrian ways and trails, public transportation systems,
multi‐modal facilities, and carpool/vanpool and other multiple‐occupancy vehicle
programs.
SmallMember
ProjectsarelocatedinMPOmembergovernmentjurisdictionwithapopulationless
than 10,000. Projects may be considered Major Construction – Existing, Minor
Construction,orPreservation.
MajorConstruction‐Existingisforprojectsaddingcapacityforasignificantlengthofanexistingstreetorhighway,oraddinglanestoanexistingbridge.
Minor Construction ‐ Projects providing ‘spot’ improvements, such as arterialintersection channelization and signalization, bridge improvements, or railroadcrossingsignalimprovements.
Preservation ‐ Projects that maintain or preserve the existing highway and streetinfrastructure, such as pavement resurfacing, pavement replacement, and bridgerestoration.
Transportation Alternatives Program ThepurposeoftheTAPistoprovidefundingforprogramsandprojectsdefinedastransportation
alternatives,includingon‐andoff‐roadpedestrianandbicyclefacilities,infrastructureprojectsfor
improving non‐driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, community
improvement activities, and environmental mitigation; recreational trail program projects; safe
routestoschoolprojects;andprojectsfortheplanning,designorconstructionofboulevardsand
other roadways largely in the right‐of‐way of former Interstate System routes or other divided
highways.
TheDesMoinesAreaMPOgroupstheseeligibleactivitiesintocategoriesasfollows:
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Provision of on‐street and off‐street facilities for
pedestrians and bicycles and the conversion and use of abandoned railway
corridors. NewConstruction subcategory is for projects creating a new facility,
whereastheMajorReconstructionsubcategoryisforprojectsthatresultinamajor
rehabilitationofanexistingfacility.
18
Historic Preservation: Historic preservation and rehabilitation of historic
transportationfacilities.

Safe Routes to Schools: Infrastructure related projects.‐planning, design, and
construction of infrastructure‐related projects in the vicinity of schools that will
substantially improve the ability of students to walk and bicycle to school.
Non‐infrastructurerelatedactivitiestoencouragewalkingandbicyclingtoschool.
The listofqualifyingactivities is intended tobeexclusive,not illustrative. Only thoseactivities
listed are eligible TAP activities. Measures in the activities listed, which go beyond what is
customarilyprovidedasenvironmentalmitigation,areconsideredasTransportationAlternatives
Programs. TAPprojectsarenon‐motorizedtransportation‐relatedactivities.
Transportation Alternative Program projects must have a relationship to surface transportation.
Proximitytoaroadwayortransportationfacilityaloneisnotsufficienttoestablisharelationshipto
surface transportation. Project sponsors should provide a clear and credible description of this
relationshipintheirproject’sproposal. Thefocusisonaclearandcredibledescriptionofhowthe
proposed TAP project relates to the surface transportation system. Several questions should be
asked:
1. In what way(s) is the project related to surface transportation throughpresentorpastuseasatransportationresource?
2. Isthereadirectconnectiontoapersonoreventnationallysignificantinthe
developmentofsurfacetransportation?3. Whatistheextentoftherelationship(s)tosurfacetransportation?
4. Whatgroupsandindividualsareaffectedbytherelationship(s)?
19
5. When did the relationship(s) start and end or does the relationship(s)
continue?6. Is a relationship substantial enough to justify the investment of
transportationfunds?
The TAP guidance states that proximity to a transportation facility alone is not sufficient to
establish a relationship. The following application types generally have been considered
ineligiblebytheFHWA,incooperationwiththeIowaDOT:
1. Surfacingorresurfacingofexistingroadsorconstructionofnewroads;
2. Constructionorsurfacingofparkinglots(unlesstrailheadparkinglot);
3. Constructionoflowwatercrossingsonroads;
4. Picnicshelters,picnictables,grills(unlessdirectlyrelatedtoatrailhead);5. Construction of new buildings (unless they are rest rooms or trailhead
shelters in conjunction with trails that will accommodate bikes or
pedestrians);6. MitigationorNationalEnvironmentalPolicyActSection106documentation
ofabridgereplacement;
7. Applicationswithoutapublicsponsor(city,State,orcountyagency);8. Historic applications where the facility or structure is not eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places (please reviewwith the StateHistoric
PreservationOffice);9. Historic preservation activities that do not demonstrate some significant
historicconnectionwithtransportationsystem;and,
10. Normalenvironmentalmitigationwork.
TheIowaDOTdividesTAPfundsintotwocategories. FiftypercentoftheTAPfundsaredivided
between theMPO’s and Regional Planning Affiliations (RPA). The DOT retains $1million of the
remainingTAPfundsforStatewideTAPprojectsandtherestistargetedtoMPO’sandRPA’sasTAP

Federal Funding Programs
Some FHWA funds are distributed by statutory formulas, while other funds are “discretionary”
(congressionallyearmarked). TheprimarysourcesofFHWAformulafundingtoIowainclude:
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ): CMAQ
providesflexiblefundingfortransportationprojectsandprogramstaskedwithhelping
20
tomeet the requirementsof theCleanAirAct.Theseprojectscan include those that
reducecongestionandimproveairquality.
MetropolitanPlanningProgram(PL): FHWAprovidesfundingforthisprogramto
the State of Iowa based onurbanized areapopulation. The funds are dedicated tosupport transportation planning projects in urbanized areaswithmore than 50,000
persons.
NationalHighwayPerformanceProgram (NHPP): This program consolidates the
NationalHighwaySystemandtheInterstateMaintenanceProgramintooneprogram. NHPP expands the number of eligible roadway miles and funds may be used to
construct or improve NHS roadways, including state highways, U.S. highways, and
Interstates.

FederalLandsAccessProgram(FLAP)andTribalTransportationProgram(TTP):The FLAP Program provides funding for projects that improve accesswithin, and to,federal lands. The FLAP fundingwill be distributed through a grant processwhere agroupofFHWA,IowaDOT,andlocalgovernmentrepresentativeswillsolicit,rank,andselect projects to receive funding.TheTTPprovides safe and adequate transportationandpublic roadaccess toandwithin Indianreservationsand Indian lands.Fundsaredistributedbasedonastatutoryformulabasedontribalpopulation,roadmileage,andaveragetribalsharesoftheformerTribalTransportationAllocationMethodology.
Demonstration Funding (DEMO): Demonstration funding is a combination of
different programs and sources. The FHWA administers discretionary programsthroughvariousofficesrepresentingspecialfundingcategories,andanappropriation

ReinvestmentActof2009(ARRA).
21
State Funding Programs
InadditiontothedistributionofFederal‐aidformulafunds,theIowaDepartmentofTransportation
administersseveralgrantprogramsthroughapplicationprocessesthatneedtobedocumentedin
theTIP. Theyincludethefollowing:
Statewide Transportation Alternatives Programs: Transportation Alternatives
Programprojectsareintendedtogobeyondthenormalmitigationofatransportationimprovementproject. StatewideEnhancementfundsaremadeavailablethroughan
application process for projects of statewide significance. Statewide Enhancement
projectsarecategorizedbyTrailandBicycleFacility,HistoricandArcheological,andScenicandEnvironmentalprojects.
Recreational Trail Program: This program provides federal funding for both
motorized and nonmotorized trail projects and is funded through a takedown from
Iowa’sTAP funding.Thedecision toparticipate in thisprogram ismadeannuallybytheIowaTransportationCommission.
IowaCleanAirAttainmentProgram(ICAAP): The ICAAPfundsprojects thatare
intendedtomaximizeemissionreductionsthroughtrafficflowimprovements,reduced
vehicle‐miles of travel, and reduced single‐occupancy vehicle trips. This programutilizes$4millionofIowa’sCMAQapportionment.
CityBridgeProgram: AportionofSTPfundingdedicatedtolocalbridgeprojectsis
setaside for the fundingofbridgeprojectswithin cities.Eligibleprojectsneed tobeclassified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Projects are rated and
prioritizedbytheOfficeofLocalSystemswithawardsbaseduponcriteriaidentifiedin
the application process. Projects awarded grant funding are subject to a federal‐aidobligationlimitationof$1million.
Transit Funding Programs
SimilartotheFHWAprograms,thetransitfundingauthorizedbySAFETEA‐LUismanagedinseveral
ways. The largest amount is distributed to the states or to largemetropolitan areas by formula.
Other program funds are discretionary, and some are earmarked for specific projects. Program
fundsincludethefollowing:
MetropolitanPlanningProgram (Section5303): FTA provides funding for this
program to the State based on its urbanized area populations. The funds are
22
dedicated to support transportationplanningprojects inurbanized areaswithmore
than50,000population.
Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307): FTA provides transit
operating, planning, and capital assistance funds directly to local recipients in
urbanizedareaswithpopulationsbetween50,000and200,000,basedonpopulationand density figures, plus transit performance factors for larger areas. Local
recipients, for whom projects are programmed by the Des Moines AreaMPO, must
applydirectlytotheFTA.
Capital InvestmentProgram (Section5309): The transit discretionary program
provides Federal assistance for major capital needs, such as fleet replacement and
constructionof transit facilities. All transitsystems in thestateareeligible for thisprogram. In recent years, Congress has earmarked all of these funds for specific
projectsorgeographicregions.
SpecialNeedsProgram(Section5310): Fundingisprovidedthroughthisprogramto increase the mobility for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Part of the
funding is administered along with the Non‐Urbanized funding; another part is
allocatedamongurbanizedtransitsystems.
Non‐UrbanizedAreaFormulaProgram (Section5311): This program provides
capital and operating assistance for rural and small urban transit systems. Fifteen
percent of these funds are allocated to Intercity Bus projects. A portion of thefundingisalsoallocatedtosupportruraltransitplanning.
RuralTransitAssistanceProgram(RTAP‐Section5311(h)): Thisfundingisalso
used for statewide training events and to support transit funding fellowships forregionalandsmallurbantransitstafforplanners.
StatewideTransportationPlanningProgram(Section5304): Thesefundscome
to the state based on population and are used to support transportation planningprojectsinnon‐urbanizedareas.
FlexibleFunds: CertainTitle23fundsmaybeusedfortransitpurposes. Transit
capital assistance is an eligible use of STP funds. Transit capital and start‐upoperatingassistance is aneligibleuseof ICAAP funds. When ICAAPandSTP funds
are programmed for transit projects, they are transferred to the FTA. The ICAAP
fundsareappliedforandadministeredbytheOfficeofPublicTransit.
StateTransitAssistance(STA): Allpublictransitsystemsareeligible for funding.
Thesefundscanbeusedbythepublictransitsystemforoperating,capital,orplanning

23
FHWA Funding Transferred to FTA
STPfundsthatdesignatedfortransitinvestmentsarerequiredtobetransferredfromFHWAtoFTA
for administration. These projects must be programmed in the highway (FHWA) and transit
(FTA) section of the TIP in the FFY they are to be transferred. The process is initiatedwith a
letter from theRPA/MPO to the IowaDOT’sOffice of ProgramManagement and to theOffice of
Public Transit requesting the transfer of funds. The Office of Program Management will then
reviewtherequestandsubmitittoFHWAforprocessing.

CHAPTER SEVEN
Financial Plan
Federal guidelines state that the TIP shall include a financial plan that demonstrates how the
approved TIP can be implemented, identifies public and private resources that are reasonably
expectedtobeavailabletocarryouttheTIP,andrecommendanyadditionalfinancingstrategiesfor
projectsandprograms.
Federal Highway Administration Projects
For purposes of transportation operations and maintenance, the financial plan shall contain
system‐levelestimatesofcostsandrevenuesourcesthatarereasonablyexpectedtobeavailableto
adequately operate and maintain Federal‐aid highways (as defined by 23 U.S.C. 101(a)(5)) and
public transportation (as defined by title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53). In addition, revenue and cost
estimatesfortheTIPmustuseaninflationrate(s)toreflect‘‘yearofexpendituredollars,’’basedon
reasonablefinancialprinciplesandinformation,developedcooperativelybytheMPOs,State(s),and
public transportation operator(s). TheMPO staff utilized an inflation rate of 4% to determine
‘‘yearofexpendituredollars.’’
TheFFY2015‐2018TIPisfiscallyconstrainedbyfundingsources. FundingsourcesincludeFederal,
State, and local financial resources. The Des Moines Area MPO recognizes that in the event of
Federal,State,andlocalfundingchanges,amendments,orrevisions,itwillneedtoreflectthechange
inprojectfundswithintheFFY2015‐2018TIP.
Des Moines Area MPO Federal‐aid Funding Sources
The total Federal shareofprojects included in the first year (annual element)of theTIP shall not
exceed levels of funding committed to the Des Moines Area MPO. Additionally, the total Federal
shareofprojectsincludedinthesecond,third,fourth,and/orsubsequentyearsoftheTIPmaynot
exceedlevelsof fundingcommitted,orreasonablyexpectedtobeavailable, totheDesMoinesArea
MPO.
