Cash Model Performance P3.0 STIP
What are we doing now? • Lack of project delivery has resulted in buildup of cash balance • Currently delivering 78% of TIP on schedule • Doing too many tasks sequential • Not adjusting to revenue/cost conditions • Plan of action • Reassessed and established new TIP project schedules (Complete) • Delegated projects for Division Delivery (Complete) • Revising project development cycles (in progress) • Monthly monitoring of program delivery status/cash management (in progress)
Project Delivery (Planning Documents) • Recent executed delegated authority agreement with FHWA for CE documents (check list) • New Expectation for planning activities • CE’s within 1 year • EA’s within 2 years • EIS’s within 3 years Discoveries & Expectations
What are we doing now? • Division Mobility Program to address small projects < $2 M • Division Planning Engineers to be technical support and link to rural planning organizations and municipal planning organizations • Better access to tools for MPOs/RPOs to help in project selection and strengthen project competiveness • GIS • Travel Demand Modeling • Freight Analysis Modeling and Network Performance • Performance Metrics for Safety, Mobility, Condition • Transportation Economic Development Impact System
Capital Programs • Division Managed vs. Centrally Managed • 70% projects and 30% of dollars are Division Managed • 30% projects and 70% of dollars are Centrally Managed • 2% projects are Turnpike’s totally $5.5B • Reset of Draft 10 year STIP • 350 projects accelerated • 144 projects added Delivery Effort going forward
Capital Programs (5 years) • Preliminary Engineering Expenditures • From $200M annually to over $250M • Right of Way Expenditures • From $325M annually to approaching $400M • Construction Lettings • From $1.66B annually to $2.55B • Partnering with Contractors on existing projects to put the capital project in use as fast as possible Delivery Effort going forward
O&M Programs (HF) • Contract Resurfacing to improve pavement condition and quality • From $500M in 2018 to $600M • Bridge Program • Increase bridge replacements by 150 over 5 years to reduce the numbers of aging structures (710 to 860 bridges) • Evaluating the efforts of “Express DB” to smaller traditional bundling's to maximize limited dollars • Aviation Program • Increase GA activities by $25M Delivery Effort going forward
