  7. Performance Measures • FHWA provides Guidance for Interstate and National Highway System (NHS) • FTA provides rulemaking for Transit

  8. State of Good Repair • Highway versus Transit • Highway Standards are more straightforward • Transit Standards are more varied, operation needs, facility elements, infrastructure etc. • Clear standards need to be developed.

  9. Core Formula Program Funding • Lump sum total at federal level for all apportioned programs • States total share apportionment calculated • Total share divided by program at state level

  10. NEPA Delegation • California the only state with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Delegation on Highway Projects. • Option now available for all States as well as Transit Projects Through via Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

  11. Surface Transportation Program (STP) • Funded at $10B a year • Closely follows current STP, preserving current Federal Aid capital projects (transit, bike, ped, and highway.) • 50% of funds to be sub-allocated based on population; remainder used in any area of State

  12. Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) • Continues program, funded at $2.2B a year. • A flexible funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

  13. Freight Provisions • Incorporated in Surface Transportation Program (STP) • No dedicated Freight or Border funding. • Higher Federal Share • Only Highway projects • National Strategic Freight Plan • States are recommended to create state freight plans and freight advisory committees.

  14. Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) • Funded at $450M per year • TTP replaces Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) • Formula: • 27% on eligible road miles • 39% on tribal population • 34% divided based on SAFTEA-LU Tribal Shares for IRR • The new formula is to be phased in over a 4-year transition period with funds distributed based on tribal shares in FY 2011, with remainder using the new formula.

  15. Transportation Alternatives • Consolidation of several ADA, pedestrian and bicycle programs. • Includes Safe Routes to Schools, Transportation Enhancement, and Recreational Trails. • Program reduces funding by 32% for California for the 2013 Fiscal Year (From $106M to $72M) • More competitive grants for Local Agencies

TIFIA-Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act • Greater emphasis on TIFIA usage. • 2013 $750M • 2014 $1B • Emphasis on long term Financial Planning • TIFIA assistance must be repaid through dedicated revenue sources that secure project obligations, such as tolls, other user fees, or payments received under a public-private partnership agreement

  19. California Moving Forward • 2013 Fiscal year maintain funding level • Goal to align MAP-21 funding types to existing State distributions for 2013, keeping funded projects programmed. • Future federal guidance and state legislation to address 2014 changes currently being developed. • Transition to performance and outcome based program.

  20. FHWA/FTA Guidance • Establishing Funding approaches and Schedules • Freight • Guidance likely to set tone for federal funding beyond MAP-21

  21. Summary • Alignment with California Consensus • State Flexibility • More Emphasis on • State of Good Repair • Performance Measures • Guidance and Rulemaking to follow • Sets tone for future Transportation Bills
