[15:11] allocations for 2025 to
[15:13] 2026 the state FAL year which start in
[15:16] April April 1 were
[15:21] 79879
[15:23] in funding and
[15:29] M funding and a 20 sorry 20% match to
[15:33] the funding is re fired and 15% is
[15:37] provided by n for total credits services
[15:40] and five is provided by
[15:43] county and the M also has
[15:48] 80,000
[15:50] 8,86 in safe and accessible
[15:53] Transportation options set aside
[15:56] funding funding this is does not require
[15:59] a local match um however this year as
[16:03] part of thec process we were required to
[16:05] specify a project um so the F has
[16:09] proposed hiring interns to review the
[16:12] 2017 complete streets policy and
[16:14] implementation efforts um and also take
[16:17] a look at some of the other counties
[16:19] policies prioritization plans and
[16:23] proposed revisions to our policy along
[16:26] the lines or including aspects of
[16:29] barrier removal Vision zero safety
[16:31] strategies and implementation of
[16:36] the and the inss will also GA and post
[16:39] online resources so they'll be available
[16:42] to the local governments
[16:52] tivities that set should cover theost of
[16:56] the interns as well as the staff overs
[17:00] and
[17:06] was and then notable revisions upw again
[17:10] this is still under review elimary
[17:12] review by
[17:13] misat we'll be out for public comments
[17:16] but see the categories on here the gray
[17:20] bars are the six main Ally codes
[17:24] activity line items that are required by
[17:27] the feds for all you
[17:29] W so program support the administration
[17:33] we have General development and
[17:34] comprehensive planning do you have
[17:37] copies in the
[17:44] packets hello online just we can't see
[17:47] what you're showing everybody in the
[17:49] room is can you reference the don't
[17:54] work apologies Tiana I'm sharing it with
[17:57] you right now moment okay no problem
[18:03] thank yeah mainly this is just I'm not
[18:06] going to be referring too much to this
[18:08] ex I just wanted to note the six main
[18:12] Ally code categories so we have program
[18:15] support in admin General development and
[18:17] comprehensive planning long range
[18:19] transportation planning system level
[18:21] long range Transportation plan project
[18:23] level the transportation Improvement
[18:26] plan and then other activities
[18:28] the mo had um many more sub lines under
[18:33] program support in the admin and general
[18:35] development and comprehensive planning
[18:37] and we combined some of those just for
[18:40] ease of administration purposes with
[18:42] time ping and submitting reimbursements
[18:45] so that's one of the significant changes
[18:49] um we also added um another map in
[18:52] figure one to indicate the 2020
[18:55] transportation management area and the
[18:58] Metropol area and included the small
[19:00] urbanized areas as well and then the
[19:04] transportation management area
[19:05] description figure two was also updated
[19:09] and this is all as a result of the um
[19:12] final approvals of the urbanized area
[19:14] boundary adjustments from
[19:21] the2
[19:23] um regarding the Ally codes um we
[19:27] collapsed some of the sub lines um
[19:30] activities related to um Administration
[19:33] data Gathering processing and
[19:35] maintenance tended to overlap which is
[19:37] why we um collect some of the lines
[19:40] programs for an admin and general
[19:42] development and comprehensive
[19:45] planning see what else under long range
[19:48] Transportation Planning project level
[19:50] the sub lines were similar rearranged
[19:53] and we placed Cooperative Community
[19:56] Transportation Planning at the top
[19:59] under that category and this is the line
[20:03] item where we do an projects plans and
[20:07] studies that's the funding source once
[20:10] we have a transportation consultant on
[20:12] board we can start assisting the local
[20:15] studies
[20:17] stud so we anticipate hopefully later
[20:20] this year we'll do another call for
[20:22] projects we did want in December
[20:24] response so we'll cut that
[20:32] um the other changes we also um just twe
[20:36] the the category we had a under the
[20:40] plans and studies Montgomery truck rout
[20:42] study is now the Montgomery traffic
[20:44] study just expanded the scope of work on
[20:47] that a little bit and the short range
[20:50] planning category that used to be on
[20:53] this list eliminated it's not one of the
[20:55] required fedal categories admin acties
[21:05] that so again this will be out for
[21:07] public comments 22nd through the 5th if
[21:10] you guys have ADD questions
[21:18] concerns Stacey thank you um I just want
[21:21] to take one moment to thank Stacy and
[21:24] John there
[21:25] is amount of work that goes into
[21:28] preparing the plan work program and all
[21:32] the uh calculations and numbers that you
[21:34] see in that spreadsheet so uh not only
[21:37] have it done a great job pring the plan
[21:40] work program but um Stacey's also done
[21:44] an outstanding job ter going through and
[21:47] helping us develop improve standard
[21:50] operating procedures as so that as we
[21:53] forward more efficient
[21:59] um John are you ready to talk us through
[22:03] the tip process update
[22:06] pleas moment I'll
[22:10] share books online
[22:44] all right those of you online can you
[22:45] see
[22:50] the yes we can see it thanks um okay
[22:55] yeah so what I'm going to do now is um
[22:57] just take a couple of minutes
[22:59] to walk everyone through the different
[23:01] aspects of the transportation
[23:03] Improvement program
[23:07] update now this first question I'm sure
[23:10] for a lot of council members here
[23:13] probably doesn't need a long answer but
[23:15] we have a big group of people joining us
[23:17] online and decent amount of people here
[23:20] in the room too
[23:22] so the the tip it's a short range
[23:25] multimodal Capital program that lists
[23:28] kind ation projects be undertaken in
[23:30] Orange County over five year time
[23:33] frame projects on the tip are funded
[23:36] with Federal Highway or Federal Transit
[23:39] funds um there can be a variety of
[23:42] different types of projects on the tip
[23:44] projects related to Highway work Bridge
[23:47] work um Bikeway pedestrian all kinds of
[23:51] active Transportation projects as well
[23:54] as
[23:55] Transit it's important to note that the
[23:57] tip must be fiscally constrained what
[24:00] this means is that funding program each
[24:02] year of the tip cannot exceed the total
[24:05] planning targets for each of the
[24:09] tip and I'll um I'll talk a little bit
[24:12] more about that in a
[24:16] moment you'll see here on this slide
[24:18] there are nine different um points for
[24:21] the tip update process I'll just step
[24:24] through each of them briefly and give a
[24:26] little explanation where needed
[24:29] um so the first step would be to review
[24:31] and evaluate the existing project needs
[24:34] um and so a lot of this information
[24:35] comes from the tip project
[24:37] questionnaires that were
[24:39] distributed the Second Step would be to
[24:41] fiscally constrain the tip to the
[24:43] current funding allocations um so this
[24:46] step is kind of doing the math part of
[24:49] the project making sure
[24:51] that funding allocated to the different
[24:54] projects doesn't exceed
[24:56] those am
[25:00] I'm sorry we're still looking at the
[25:02] first slide have we moved on to the one
[25:04] after that I'm so
[25:12] sorry
[25:26] right thank you there you go oh you guys
[25:30] got
[25:38] it all right sorry about
[25:41] that
[25:44] was the third step will be to update the
[25:46] tip narrative and tables so this is more
[25:49] like a ootc sta assignment um kind of
[25:53] editorial work making sure that the tip
[25:55] reads well and that certain pieces
[25:58] information and
[26:01] um dates and figures are are all up to
[26:04] date in the current
[26:06] tip um The Next Step would be to develop
[26:09] air quality Conformity determination um
[26:12] I'll talk more about this in a little
[26:13] bit too um but again that's kind of an
[26:15] internal OTC sta
[26:17] assignment same thing with the
[26:18] self-certification that needs to be
[26:22] completed octc will also consult with
[26:25] New York state do Federal Highway
[26:27] Administration EPA tribal Nations and
[26:30] other groups to make sure that their
[26:32] input and
[26:34] um make sure that their input is uh
[26:38] given for this new
[26:40] tip there going to be a public meeting
[26:43] to share the draft tip and
[26:46] aqc there will be a public comment
[26:48] period following that and finally the
[26:50] last step Mr formally adopt 2026 to 2030
[26:54] tip and air quality foration
[27:04] now I'll talk briefly about the
[27:05] publication process um so a specific tip
[27:09] update meeting will be held by the
[27:10] planning committee to discuss the tip
[27:12] development process projects on existing
[27:15] tip projects being considered to be
[27:18] added to the tip and this will happen
[27:21] before the public comment period
[27:23] against public will be notified seven
[27:26] days before the meeting occurs and
[27:28] they'll be notified when the public
[27:30] comment period
[27:31] begins um lastly uh thec consults with
[27:36] the federal state local agencies tribal
[27:39] Nations um so Representatives folks from
[27:43] those organizations will have an
[27:45] opportunity
[27:48] to provide their input considerations
[27:51] for the tip
[27:55] as all right on this slide here you see
[27:58] um a couple of key Milestone dates that
[28:01] we're looking at as we lead up to the
[28:03] formal adoption of the tip um so today
[28:06] January 16th we're kind of introducing
[28:08] this process um the next key Milestone
[28:11] date is at the end of May publishing the
[28:15] publish notice of the initial tip in
[28:18] graphs to the transportation Council and
[28:21] we announce the public comment
[28:24] period you know I won't read all of
[28:26] these um you can see them here but
[28:29] another important thing to note is that
[28:31] these aren't totally set in stone things
[28:33] might change um especially because Nim
[28:38] the no in the New York City metropolitan
[28:41] area is very kindly assisting us with
[28:43] the transportation modeling and the work
[28:46] involved in the um apcd work um so we're
[28:51] going to be working with them and if
[28:54] certain dates need to be changed because
[28:56] of them um we certainly let everyone
[28:59] know and
[29:00] keep everyone updated um but this is
[29:04] more or less um what we'll be looking at
[29:06] as we lead up to adoption of the
[29:09] tip another thing to note is there's a
[29:12] pretty big gap between today January
[29:14] 16th in that next Milestone date at the
[29:17] end of May um it's good that we're not
[29:19] kind of jumping right into a Sprint to
[29:21] the finish line and as Stacy you know
[29:25] just listed to everyone there's a lot of
[29:29] non- tip related Transportation counsel
[29:31] work that needs to be done
[29:37] time all right now I'm going to go over
[29:40] a couple of options um related
[29:44] to this new tip update um the first is
[29:48] block funding or block pins um so this
[29:51] is traditionally what Transportation
[29:53] Council has done um and as a reminder
[29:56] any funding that is allocated to a
[29:58] specific project is put into a block pin
[30:01] by its funding source so there could be
[30:03] a CMAC block pin an STG large Urban
[30:06] block pin 5307 Transit funding block pin
[30:11] um so taking that unallocated funding
[30:14] for Li block pins is what the
[30:16] transportation Council has done in the
[30:18] past however it's possible that for this
[30:20] tip update there might not be any
[30:22] immediately available unprogram
[30:28] next option I want to discuss is the
[30:30] call for projects um so how this would
[30:33] work is that the transportation Council
[30:35] would put out called projects in late
[30:37] 2025 more likely early
[30:41] 2026 project proposals will be evaluated
[30:44] and funding would be allocated um to
[30:46] eligible projects and then via Amendment
[30:50] those projects will be incorporated
[30:58] all right this is the final slide just
[30:59] going to go over um some of the next
[31:02] steps as a reminder um first we're going
[31:05] to collect and summarize the tip
[31:07] questionnaires um we'll set up any
[31:10] project sponsor followup interviews as
[31:12] needed based on our review of the
[31:14] questionnaires there's the math work
[31:16] involved in fiscally constraining the
[31:18] tip there's the uh work involved in kind
[31:21] of doing the writing and drafting the
[31:23] tip narrative and all the different
[31:25] tables in the document there air quality
[31:28] Conformity determination which like I
[31:30] mentioned we're partnering with NCH on
[31:32] that and lastly self-certification
[31:36] which is more or less kind of a review
[31:39] of previous tip projects and a written
[31:41] evaluation
[31:44] of how
[31:49] they so that's that's it for this tip
[31:51] update presentation um anybody in the
[31:55] room who have questions please feel free
[31:57] to ask
[31:58] same thing to folks joining us
[32:01] online feel free to either raise your
