  1. Transportation Equity Actfor the 21st Century TEA-21 Prepared by Iowa Department of Transportation September 1998

  2. Background • The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, also known as ISTEA, was a major departure from the way state, local and federal transportation officials administered transportation programs.

  3. Background • TEA-21 is built on the successes of the past six years and did not undo the solid foundation established by ISTEA. • TEA-21 incorporates many program changes and improvements which will provide additional flexibility and authority over our transportation systems.

  4. Funding Summary • Funding levels are designed to spend all revenues received into the Highway Trust Fund. • “Guaranteed funding” will be provided based on the level of Highway Trust Fund revenues.

  5. Highway Programs The act retains the following core programs established in ISTEA:  Interstate Maintenance National Highway System Surface Transportation Program  Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacements

  6. Highway Programs Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program  Highway Safety  Metropolitan Planning Minimum Guarantee

  7. Funding Summary - Highway(Iowa Apportionments) • Interstate Maintenance 52% inc • National Highway System 57% inc • Surface Transportation Program 30% inc • Bridge Program 54% inc • CMAQ 50% inc • Total of Core Programs 43% inc

  8. Funding Summary • Authorizes $218 billion over a six year period ( FY1998 - FY2003) with the following breakdown: Highway $169.5 billion Highway Safety 1.7 billion Transit 42.0 billion Motor Carrier Safety .6 billion Research 2.9 billion Miscellaneous .5 billion

  12. Federal STP Funding

  13. Federal STP Funding

  14. Average Annual Federal Highway funds to Iowa(millions -- 100% obligation) $220 MPO’S and RPA’s Iowa DOT $60 $160

  15. Average Annual Federal Highway funds to Iowa(millions -- 100% obligation) $220 $204 MPO’S and RPA’s Iowa DOT $60 $60 $160 $144

  16. Average Annual Federal Highway funds to Iowa(millions -- 100% obligation) $220 $204 $315 MPO’S and RPA’s Iowa DOT $60 $60 $87 $160 $144 $228

  17. Average Annual Federal Highway funds to Iowa(millions -- 100% obligation) $220 $204 $315 $278 MPO’S and RPA’s Iowa DOT $60 $60 $87 $77 $160 $144 $228 $201

  18. Average Annual Federal Highway Funds to Iowa($ millions --obligations) $220 $315 $204 $278 MPO’s and RPA’s Iowa DOT $60 $60 $87 $77 $160 $144 $228 $201 ISTEA $204 = 92.5% TEA-21 $278 = 88%

  19. Current Enhancement Program • 10% of total STP set aside for Transportation Enhancements • Current Program Process - 50% programmed by MPO/RPA process - MPO/RPA targets provided - 50% programmed by Statewide process - statewide application process - three advisory committees

  20. Current Enhancement Program • Changes in TEA-21 - Must “relate to transportation” - Eligibility expanded to include wildlife mortality - welcome centers for scenic/historic highways - safety/education programs for bicycle/pedestrian - transportation museums

  21. Proposed Enhancement Program • Statewide program process used for all required set aside -- 10% • No enhancement targets for MPOs/RPAs - can stillprogram enhancement projects but would use regular STP funds • offset MPO/RPA enhancement targets with increased STP target - equivalent amount (i.e., 10% increase in STP targets) • Benefits - decrease administrative costs - focus on broader statewide strategy for enhancements

  22. CMAQ/ICAAP • Current Program - Iowa is an important state - CMAQ funds can be used for any program - ICAAP supported by equivalent of CMAQ funding -fulfills spirit of CMAQ -focus on congestion reduction and air quality -statewide application program

  23. CMAQ/ICAAP • Proposed Changes -None to the ICAAP process -The expected increase in CMAQ funding can support -ICAAP at current funding level -new program focused on ITS improvement

  24. National Highway SystemDistribution Formula • 25% - lane miles of principle arterials • 35% - vehicle miles on principle arterials • 30% - diesel fuel on all highways • 10% - lane miles of principle arterials divided by state’s share of pop. • Iowa’s share is 1.61%

  25. Surface Transportation ProgramDistribution Formula • 25% - lanes miles on federal-aid highways • 40% - vehicle miles traveled on federal-aid highways • 35% - contributions to the Highway Trust Fund • Iowa’s share is 1.44%
