CALL TO ORDER; RECOGNIZE ALTERNATES; CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES Neumann called the meeting to order at 10:33 AM. Alternates were as follows: Dan Scott for Brian Boelk of Iowa City, Sarah Okerlund for Rick Fosse of Iowa City, and AI Miller for Greg Parker of Johnson County. It was moved by Holderness and seconded by Knoche to approve the meeting minutes of May 15, 2007. The motion carried unanimously. 2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA There was no public discussion. 3. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION ON THE FORMULA USED TO DISTRIBUTE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION SECTION 5307 FUNDS TO CORALVILLE TRANSIT. IOWA CITY TRANSIT AND UNIVERSITY OF IOWA CAMBUS Neumann outlined the formula used to calculate locally determined income (LDI) in FY07. Neumann noted that different reporting figures were used in the calculation for the LDI in FY07 but would not be used in FY08 calculations. Wheatley asked how the FY07 figures compared with the figures from FY06. Neumann stated that the numbers can not be compared because different funding was available in FY07 that was not available in FY06. It was moved by Fowler and seconded by McClatchey to not recommend adjusting the FY08 figures to account for the FY07 calculation. The motion carried unanimously. Neumann asked the TT AC to consider a recommendation to the Board for the formation of a staff committee that would review what figures are being submitted for the quarterly DNR reports. The TTAC agreed to make this recommendation to the Board at their September 19th meeting. Neumann outlined the current formula used to distribute 5307 funds as well as the formula without fare revenue as a separate category. Dave Ricketts from the University of Iowa presented his argument asking that the original formula, not using fare revenue as a separate category, be used to distribute funds. Ricketts noted that some funding is only available to the transit agencies because of the University's high ridership numbers. Rickets stated that the University is working to deter JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee September 11, 2007 Page 2 individuals from driving private vehicles to campus, and that this benefits both Iowa City and Coralville. Neumann noted that using the formula without fare revenue as a separate category would benefit the University by $132,583 in FY08 and take away $75,314 from Iowa City Transit, and $57,269 from Coralville Transit. Fowler stated that the University benefits from the discounted bus passes given to them from both Iowa City and Coralville Transit. Brase noted that CAMBUS benefits by using student labor. Hayworth asked if there are other similar arrangements between University agencies and municipalities. Ricketts stated that that the arrangement CAMBUS has with Iowa City and Coralville is unique. Brase stated he believes that more cooperation between the systems is needed for paratransit. Ricketts agreed. Logsden noted that he believes the student labor available to the University transit system creates an un-level playing field between the agencies. Logsden stated that CAMBUS has lost ridership while Iowa City and Coralville Transit systems have increased ridership. Logsden further stated that using the current formula offers a more level playing field between the agencies. Robrock agreed with the statements Logsden made and added that CAMBUS does not serve as much of the general population for which she feels the funds are intended. MOTIONS McClatchey moved to recommend changing the formula back to the original formula thereby eliminating fair revenue as a separate category. Wheatley seconded for discussion. Logsden reiterated that the current formula works best to level the playing field between the agencies. Those voting IN FAVOR were: McClatchy, Wilson, and Hollins. The motion failed on a vote of 3-14. Wilson moved to form a committee to decide what formula should be used in the future. McClatchey seconded. Hayworth, Dahms, and Robrock all stated that a committee would not be needed as the Technical Advisory Committee can serve that purpose. Those voting IN FAVOR were: Wheatley, McClatchey, Wilson, and Hollins. The motion failed on a vote of 4-13. Logsden moved to recommend continuing to use the current formula using fare revenue as a separate category. Knoche seconded. Those voting IN FAVOR were: Fowler, Robrock, Holderness, Hayworth, Oils, Dahms, Wheatley, Miller, Knoche, Logsden, Brase, Scott, and Okerlund. The motion carried on a vote of 13-4. Ricketts left at 11 :40 4. UPDATE ON FY07 BUS AND BUS FACILITIES DISCRETIONARY FUNDING (FTA) Neumann noted that CAMBUS, Iowa City Transit, and Coralville Transit applied for grant money through a pot made available through the Federal Transit Administration. Neumann stated that all of the funding has been given to the five most congested cities in the U.S. Neumann asked the committee if they would like to recommend sending letters to the FT A requesting that the money not be given to the five cities and be spread out more equitably amongst cities. Logsden moved that staff write letters for the JCCOG chair to sign and send to the FTA regarding the disapproval of how grant money was distributed. McClatchey seconded. The motion carried unanimously. JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee September 11, 2007 Page 3 5. DISCUSSION OF SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP) AND TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT (TE) JCCOG FUNDING ALLOCATION PROCESS Yapp outlined the STP and TE funding allocation process as well as the timeline for the application deadlines. Yapp stated JCCOG will have approximately $2,000,000 in Surface Transportation Program funds and $190,000 in Transportation Enhancement funds for FY09-10. Yapp referred to the application packets distributed to TTAC members. Applications will be due on October 11,2007. 6. REPORT ON JCCOG TRAIL COUNTS Ralston stated that JCCOG has been actively collecting trail counts over the course of the summer and indicated that the counts are now being taken with an infrared counter that cannot differentiate between bicycles and pedestrians. Ralston referred to a map showing average daily trail counts and count locations. Ralston asked the committee to contact him if there were any locations that they would like to add to the list. 7. UPDATE ON TRAFFIC STUDY FOR NORTH DUBUQUE STREET AND NORTH LIBERTY ROAD Yapp outlined the plan for the upcoming traffic study in the North Dubuque Street corridor. Yapp stated that the traffic study would be similar to other traffic studies that JCCOG performs. Yapp noted that several factors would be taken into account, including traffic speed and volume, sight distance, access points, and pedestrian facilities. 8 UPDATE ON RECENT ACTIVITIES Ralston updated the committee on a Safe Routes to Schools application that JCCOG is working on at the request of the Clear Creek - Amana School District. Ralston also updated the committee on ridesharing/carpooling programs that the University of Iowa has available to staff and students as well as several other web-based ridesharing programs that are available to municipalities. 9. OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business. 10. ADJOURNMENT Neumann adjourned the meeting at 11 :58AM S/PCD/MIN/JCCOG/ttac 09-11-07.doc =- ==JCCOG ==- =:. ~ r~ m e m 0 r.... Date: November 6, 2007 To: JCCOG Transportation Planning Technical Advisory Committee From: Kristopher Ackerson, Assistant Transportation Planner ~1f( Re: Agenda Item NO.3: Consider a recommendation to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board regarding apportionment of Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for FY2009-10 Iowa DOT gave JCCOG a funding target of $2,067,000 in Surface Transportation Program funds for FY2009-10 to be distributed in the Iowa City Urbanized Area. Four communities submitted a total of eleven applications to JCCOG totaling $12,286,800. Enclosed you will find a summary of each project and copies of the applications. The project scores based on the scoring criteria adopted by the JCCOG Board are enclosed. The TTAC may, by motion, amend any of the project scores before they are forwarded to the JCCOG Board. The projects need not be recommended for funding according to the project's score; the scoring criteria are meant to be one piece of information for consideration in your deliberations. At your November 15 meeting, please consider making a recommendation to the JCCOG Board on the apportionment of STP funds. As you discuss the projects to recommend for funding, consider the project score, any public input received, and ultimately the merits of each project. The funds cannot be apportioned according to the population of the JCCOG municipalities. STP Scoring Comments JCCOG staff applied the approved scoring system (see attached) to rank the STP applications. While some criteria are objective assessments, others may be interpreted differently by different people. The following comments clarify how staff interpreted the criteria: · Criterion 1 - Staff classified new projects as reconstruction projects and awarded 5 points, which reflects prior precedent and the Transportation Enhancement scoring system. · Criterion 2 - Projects not located at accident prone locations received three points if bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities are planned. The JCCOG Traffic Collision Analysis (2006) identifies the top 25 high accident intersections and top 10 highest mid-block accident locations. · Criterion 3 - All proposed projects were consistent with the communities' comprehensive plans. · Criterion 4 - Projects received scores based upon the degree to which they provided the approved amenities. · Criterion 5.,... Scores are based on existing and forecasted traffic volumes and capacity detailed in the JCCOG 2007-2035 Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan for the Iowa City Urbanized Area (2007). · Criterion 6 - Projects that show cooperation between jurisdictions received additional points.

Brief description of the scope and intent of the proposed project. Attach a location map/visual description of the project. Include any attachments and visual aids to adequately describe the project. This project involves the replacement of the existing 1 st Ave. bridge over Clear Creek. This bridge has been scheduled for improvements since the 1st Ave. Corridor Study was completed in 1997. The new bridge will include 5 vehicular lanes, 10 foot wide sidewalks on both sides and a 10 wide trail underneath the bridge to allow access to both sides of the street without having to cross 1st Ave. at grade. The new bridge will also improve the flow characteristics of Clear Creek since it will have a higher and wider channel opening. 4. List all modes of transportation impacted by the proposed project. Vehicular traffic including Coralville and Cambus busses, pedestrians, and bicyclists will be positively impacted by this project. 5. How does this project further the goals and/or policies of your community's Comprehensive Plan? This project will enhance the safety of the motoring, pedestrian and bicycling public in conjunction with the Iowa River Landing Development. Reconstruction of the 1 st Ave. Corridor has long been a goal of the city as demonstrated by the 1 st Ave. Corridor Study that was created in 1997. 6. Will the proposed project involve establishment of a new facility, or improve an existing facility that is within five years of the end of its useful service life? This project will reconstruct a facility within 5 years of the end of its useful service life. 7. How will the project impact the flow of all modes of traffic? All modes of traffic - vehicles, busses, pedestrians and bicycles will be postively impacted by this project b~cause it will extend the five lane section further north from Hwy 6 which will begin to address existing traffic backup and safety situations and provide wider and safer pedestrian/bike facilities across and underneath the bridge. 1st Avenue Bridge over Clear Creek Surlace Transportation Project Description 2 .\ The following information must be provided for all Surface Transportation Project proposals, and will be provided to the JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee and Urbanized Area Policy Board.

Surface Transportation Project 2007 City of Tiffin Pagel City of Tiffin Ireland Avenue Extension Project During the Surface Transportation Program of 2005 the City of Tiffin I reland Avenue Extension project was discussed by both the IT AC and the UPBC. Results of that meeting included the overall consensus that the Ireland Avenue Extension Project was a project that affected not only local traffic but regional traffic as well especially during emergency routing for Interstate 80. The project was not funded during the last three funded in full during the last three funding cycles. This project is of the highest importance to the City of Tiffin, and also to the regional JCCOG area.

Your name, phone number, and JCCOG affiliation: Erling Anderson (354-7897); City of University Heights 2. Dollar amount of federal funds requested (required minimum 20% local match), and total project cost: Federal Funds Requested: $396,800.00 Local Match: $ 99.200.00 Total Project Cost: $496,000.00 3. Brief description of the proposed project. Attach a location map/visual description of the project: The City of University Heights, proposes to further the JCCOG Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan by providing an effective connection between two points within the trails and wide sidewalk network. This project will replace an existing 4-foot sidewalk with an 8-foot "wide . . sidewalk" on the north side of Melrose Avenue, connecting an existing wide sidewalk at the east city limit of University Heights to within 200-feet of an existing trail at the Finkbine Golf Course entrance drive just beyond the west city limit., The total project length is approximately 3,000 linear feet. The proposed project provides an improved bicycle and pedestrian connection between destination points (City of Iowa City and University of Iowa) to the east and west of University Heights, as well as destination points within University Heights, such as the Athletic Club, St. Andrews Church, Taste on Melrose, City Hall, and the Hedlund Dental Office. In particular, there are numerous University of Iowa facilities developing west of the City, including Finkbine Golf Course, the Commuter Parking Lot, Student Housing, Recreation Fields, and numerous athletic practice and competition sites. The existing Melrose A venue right-of-way is 80-feet wide from the west city limit to Sunset Street. This provides enough width to place the wide sidewalk and maintain adequate clear widths, and requires only minor modifications to a few entrance drive aprons. The existing Melrose Avenue right-of-way is 60-feet wide from Sunset Street to the east city limit. There are several residential driveways on the north side with steep grades. Overhead utility pole facilities are located on the south side of the street. To accommodate appropriate clearances, and maintain the existing driveway apron grades for residential properties along the route, the north curb of Melrose Avenue would need to be moved south approximately 4-feet. The resulting street width would be 33-feet. The attached "sections" show that the existing functionality of the roadway could be maintained. Design exceptions may be necessary for lane width and path/roadway separation in some locations. Bicycle parking is proposed to be located adjacent to this new walk near the building housing the restaurant, dentist's office, and City Hall. This is the only section of the City currently zoned for Business. To maintain appropriate clear width distances along the walk in this area, the north curb would move south by 4-feet, and the existing trees and walkway lighting in this area are proposed to be removed ,and replaced. It is proposed to modify the pavement markings in this section to maintain the on-street parking and two lanes of east-west traffic. 4. List all modes of transportation impacted by the proposed project: Primary: Secondary: Pedestrian, Bicycle Vehicle (potential to encourage fewer vehicle trips in favor of walking or bicycling; provide safer and/or more desirable route) 5. How does the project further the goals and/or policies of your community's Comprehensive Plan? On page 27 of the Comprehensive Plan, the "Streets and Transportation" section includes a goal to "enhance pedestrian and bicycle access for University Heights residents." In addition, the potential to be a part of the growing network of trails and wide sidewalks within Johnson County is identified as follows: "At present, University Heights is not directly linked to trail systems within Johnson County. Formal connecting trails or widened sidewalks would allow University Heights residents better access to recreational opportunities in Iowa City, Coralville, and the University of Iowa campus. Given the limited public open space in the community such linkages could be valuable." This project would provide a significant link in the wide sidewalk network currently in place along Melrose Avenue by narrowing the gap to a connection with existing wide sidewalks on Mormon Trek, and existing trails along Clear Creek, and along Camp Cardinal Boulevard. 6. Will the proposed project involve establishment of a new facility, or improve an existing facility that is within five years of the end of its useful life? The proposed project will replace the existing 4-foot walk with an 8-foot walk. The existing walk panels are monitored for repair needs on an individual basis. As a whole, the sidewalk along the north side of Melrose Avenue would still be in use within five years. 7. How will the project impact the flow of all modes oftraffic? The north side of Melrose Avenue is an existing urban roadway. The proposed project would encounter numerous driveways (primarily residential), and cross three intersections: Birkdale Court, Sunset Street, and the Koser/Golfview intersection. The majority of overhead utility facilities are located on the opposite side of the road (south side). The distance between the edge of the existing 4-foot walk and the back of curb varies along the project. There are a few properties with existing retaining walls abutting the edge of the right-of-way.

Four communities submitted a total of six applications to JCCOG totaling $2,555,800. Enclosed you will find a summary of each project and copies of the applications. At their October 30 meeting, the JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee (RTBC) recommended, by a vote of 5 to 6, that City of Tiffin receive $89,000 in TE funds for the East Tiffin Trail and the remaining $101,870 TE funds be awarded to City of Coralville for the First Ave. wide-sidewalk project north of County Club Drive. A summary of the RTBC discussion is attached. The project scores based on the scoring criteria adopted by the JCCOG Board are enclosed. The ran kings were discussed, but not modified, by the RTBC. The nAC may, by motion, amend any of the project scores before they are forwarded to the JCCOG Board. The projects need not be recommended for funding according to their scores; the scoring criteria are meant to be one piece of information for consideration in your deliberations. At your November 15 meeting, please consider making a recommendation to the JCCOG Board on the apportionment of TE funds. As you discuss the projects to recommend for funding, consider the project score, the RTBC recommendation, any public input received, and ultimately the merits of each project. The funds cannot be apportioned according to the population of the JCCOG municipalities. TE Scoring Comments JCCOG staff applied the approved scoring system (see attached) to rank the STP applications. While some criteria are objective assessments, others are somewhat vague. The following comments clarify how staff interpreted the criteria: · Criterion 1 - New projects and total reconstruction of existing facilities were awarded five points, while significant rehabilitation of projects received three points. · Criterion 2 - Projects not located at accident prone locations received three points if bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities are planned. The JCCOG Traffic Collision Analysis (2006) identifies the top 25 high accident intersections and top 10 highest mid-block accident locations. · Criterion 3 - Projects that will link to major residential, commercial, or employment areas received five points. · Criterion 4 - Projects received five points for extending pedestrian and/or bicycle facilities, or if they are part of the JCCOG Long Range Plan or Long Range Wide Sidewalks Plan.

Date: November 6, 2007 To: From: Transportation Technical Advisory Committee Kent Ralston, Assistant Transportation Planner~ Re: Agenda Item #4 Transportation Enhancement funding recommendation At the October 30, 2007 JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee meeting the committee discussed applications received for FY09-10 JCCOG Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program funds. JCCOG received applications requesting $2,258,200 in TE funding, and has $190,870 available for allocation. Although the RTBC agreed that all of the applications received were for desirable projects, the impetus for the RTBC recommendation is to provide full funding to at least one project ensuring that said project can be completed in a timely fashion. The RTBC recommends: Recommended Allocation: City of Tiffin $89,000 (100% of requested funds) City of Coralville $101,870 (54% of requested funds) Project Description: East Tiffin Trail; 8' wide trail extension from Jasper Ave to 1-380 8' wide trail extension on the west side of 1 sl Ave from Country Club Dr. to Oakdale Blvd. Please bring any questions you have to the November 15th meeting. jccogtp/mem/RTBC- TEfunds 11-5.doc /.

Brief description of the proposed project. Attach a location map/visual description of the project. Additional visual aids may be attached. This project will involve the construction of a 8 foot wide PCC pedestrian/bike trail on the west side of 1 st Ave. from Country Club Drive north to Oakdale Blvd. This project is an extension of our existing 1 st Ave. Trail system and will complete the connection between Coralville (including connections to the UI trail system and downtown Iowa City) and the Oakdale Blvd. Trail which connects to Johnson County's Dubuque St. Trail which then connects to the Coralville Reservoir. This connection will also benefit citizens in northern Coralville as well as the county by providing access to the Iowa River Landing and other 1st Ave. & Hwy 6 locations. We have received numerous requests for the construction of this specific project as many citizens bike/run/walk in this area and currently are required to use 1st Ave., particularly the bridge over Muddy Creek, which was does not provide safe accomodations for these activities. 4. List all modes of transportation impacted by the proposed project. Vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists will be positively impacted by the construction of a pedestrian/bike trail on a parallel but separate alignment from the street. 5. If applicable, describe the terrain where the proposed project is located. The trail will be constructed parallel to and at a similiar 7% grade as 1 st Ave. The trail will also cross Muddy Creek on a separate bridge. 6.

Your name, phone number, and JCCOG affiliation: Erling Anderson (354-7897); City of University Heights 2. Dollar amount of federal funds requested (required minimum 20% local match), and total project cost: Federal Funds Requested: $396,800.00 Local Match: $ 99,200.00 Total Project Cost: $496,000.00 3. Brief description of the proposed project. Attach a location map/visual description of the project: The City of University Heights, proposes to further the JCCOG Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan by providing an effective connection between two points within the trails and wide sidewalk network. This project will replace an existing 4-foot sidewalk with an 8-foot "wide sidewalk" on the north side of Melrose Avenue, connecting an existing wide sidewalk at the east city limit of University Heights to within 200-feet of an existing trail at the Finkbine Golf Course entrance drive just beyond the west city limit. The total project length is approximately 3,000 linear feet. The proposed project provides an improved bicycle and pedestrian connection between destination points (City of Iowa City and University of Iowa) to the east and west of University Heights, as well as destination points within University Heights, such as the Athletic Club, St. Andrews Church, Taste on Melrose, City Hall, and the Hedlund Dental Office. In particular, there are numerous University of Iowa facilities developing west of the City, including Finkbine Golf Course, the Commuter Parking Lot, Student Housing, Recreation Fields, and numerous athletic practice and competition sites. The existing Melrose Avenue right-of-way is 80-feet wide from the west city limit to Sunset Street. This provides enough width to place the wide sidewalk and maintain adequate clear widths, and requires only minor modifications to a few entrance drive aprons. The existing Melrose A venue right-of-way is 60-feet wide from Sunset Street to the east city limit. There are several residential driveways on the north , . side with steep grades. Overhead utility pole facilities are located on the south side of the street. To accommodate appropriate clearances, and maintain the existing driveway apron grades for residential properties along the route, the north curb of Melrose Avenue would need to be moved south approximately 4-feet. The resulting street width would be 33-feet. The attached "sections" show that the existing functionality of the roadway could be maintained. Design exceptions may be necessary for lane width and path/roadway separation in some locations. Bicycle parking is proposed to be located adjacent to this new walk near the building housing the restaurant, dentist's office, and City Hall. This is the only section of the City currently zoned for Business. To maintain appropriate clear width distances along the walk in this area, the north curb would move south by 4-feet, and the existing trees and walkway lighting in this area are proposed to be removed and replaced. It is proposed to modify the pavement markings in this section to maintain the on-street parking and two lanes of east-west traffic. 4. List all modes of transportation impacted by the proposed project: Primary: Secondary: Pedestrian, Bicycle Vehicle (potential to encourage fewer vehicle trips in favor of walking or bicycling; provider safer and/or more desirable route) 5. If applicable, describe the terrain where the proposed project is located: The north side of Melrose Avenue is an existing urban roadway. The proposed project would encounter numerous driveways (primarily residential), and cross three intersections: Birkdale Court, Sunset Street, and the Koser/Golfview intersection. The majority of overhead utility facilities are located on the opposite side of the road (south side). The distance between the edge of the existing 4-foot walk and the back of curb varies along the project. There are a few properties with existing retaining walls abutting the edge of the right-of-way. 6. Will the proposed project involve establishment of a new right-of-way? No. ;' .

Area Regional Transit (DART) Authority and CyRide (Ames). The following is a short summary of the two systems. Additional information for both systems is attached. DART The Des Moines Area Regional Transit (DART) Authority was created in 2006. This agency is a joint effort between the Des Moines Metro Transit Agency (MT A) and the Rural Transit Agency (RTA). This joint effort took two agreements to complete; one was a 28E agreement with the MT A and the other was a 28M agreement with the RT A. There are currently 20 jurisdictions involved with 95% of the costs based on the amount of service a jurisdiction receives and 5% regionally allocated. The jurisdictions include Des Moines, the municipalities surrounding Des Moines, and Polk County. The nine member board is made up of representatives from seven regions (communities) in the county and two county representatives. DART has 114 buses and 15,000 riders per day. The total operating budget last year was $13.44 million. Revenues include $8.29 million from Federal and State sources and farebox revenue. A transit levy makes up the remaining $5.15 million in revenue. DART services include fixed route and paratransit services, ridesharing, Employer Support Programs, Opportunities Through Transit program (income eligible), Guaranteed Ride Home program, and a Bike and Ride (bike racks on buses) program. The attached graphics provided by DART give a snapshot of DART's funding structure and provision of services. CyRide In 1976, the City of Ames started a municipal transit system that served all of Ames and Iowa State University (ISU). In 1981 the City signed an agreement with ISU and the ISU Student Government to operate a joint public transit system called CyRide. At that time the City of Ames paid 37.3% of the transit budget, ISU paid 13.8%, and the ISU Student Government paid 48.9% (student fees). As interest in the transit service grew, the ISU students wanted more service. In 2002 Cy-Ride implemented a no fare system for students. This no fare system for students is similar to the Cambus system, but does not include the general public. ISU students must show their student ID to ride for free. As a result of the no fare system for students, the amount of funding the ISU Student Government was responsible for increased. As of 2007 the budget 2 included 27% funding from the City of Ames, 12% from ISU, and 61% from the ISU Student Government. CyRide's current budget is about $4.5 million per year. CyRide has a six member Board of Trustees, made up of one representative each from the Ames City Council, a senator from the ISU Student Government, a vice president of ISU, an ISU Student Government representative who is not a senator, the Ames City Manager, and one person selected by the Ames Mayor.

This amount includes $482,431 in Small Transit Intensive Communities (STIC) funding. The funds are apportioned by JCCOG between Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, and University of Iowa Cambus based on our local formula of 25% operating/maintenance cost, 25% locally determined income, 25% revenue miles, and 25% fare revenue. This formula was re-approved at the September 19th Board meeting. The following tables show the proposed FY08 apportionment, and for comparison, the FY07 multipliers and apportionment. The FY08 Section 5307 funds may be used for transit operating and/or capital funding. If approved, the Transportation Planning Division will complete and submit FY08 FT A operating grant applications for each transit system.

In October of this year, a legislative subcommittee began meeting to discuss the TIME-21 Initiative, specifically on options to raise $200 million per year in additional funding for the road construction fund. The current proposal is to distribute any new funding created under TIME-21 with a formula giving 60% to the State, 20% to the counties and 20% to the cities for road construction and maintenance purposes. Existing Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) revenue would be distributed under the current formula (47.5% State, 8% cities street fund, 20% county farm to market fund, 24.5% county secondary roads fund). The legislative subcommittee is discussing various funding options and mechanisms to adjust revenue streams. These mechanisms include the fuel tax, vehicle and truck registration fees, driver's license fees and the motor vehicle use tax. Options involving the creation of toll roads and/or leasing certain public roads do not appear to be gaining traction. The legislative subcommittee is scheduled to meet again on November 26, and it is hoped they will reach consensus on a recommendation to the full legislature before they reconvene in January. Earlier this year, the JCCOG Board sent a general letter of support to area legislators for the TIME-21 proposal and the need to create additional funds for roadway infrastructure.

Date: November 6, 2007 To: JCCOG Transportation Technical Advisory Committee From: Kristopher Ackerson, Assistant Transportation Planner 'f--SK Re: Agenda Item NO.8: Discuss requirement for Year-Of-Expenditure cost estimates in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) The purpose of this memo is to notify the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee of new federal requirements for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) of the Iowa City Urbanized Area. When JCCOG develops the FY2009-12 TIP, the following changes will be included to meet the new guidelines. In February 2007, the federal government mandated that beginning on, "December 11th, 2007, revenue and cost estimates that support the metropolitan transportation plan must use an inflation rate to reflect 'year of expenditure dollars 1. '" This new policy is meant to ensure that local governments account for inflation and budget sufficient funds for capital projects. The level of federal funds awarded to a project will not change. If cost estimates do not account for inflation, the local government will be required to pay the project funding shortfall. When we develop the FY09-12 JCCOG TIP, we will ask for a year-of-expenditure cost estimate, or alternatively apply an inflation factor. Additionally, the metropolitan transportation plan must contain "system-level estimates of costs and revenue sources2" to adequately maintain and operate Federal-aid highways and public transportation. According to Iowa DOT staff, this requirement could prove to be burdensome to local governments; clarification from federal DOT will likely be issued in the coming months. Please contact me at Kristopher-Ackerson@iowa-city.org or 356-5247 with any questions.

This would be part of a planned AMTRAK service line from Chicago to the Quad Cities, Iowa City/Coralville, and eventually Des Moines. I have drafted a letter for the TTAC and Urbanized Area Policy Board to consider (attached). One of the difficulties I had in drafting this letter is that we do not yet have a cost estimate for capital and operations costs for future AMTRAK service, nor do we have funding sources identified. Based on past discussions, I do believe we have broad support for continuing to support and plan for future passenger rail service generally. Another factor I wanted to keep in front of the passenger rail discussion is the desire for a 'local' passenger rail system connecting Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty and Cedar Rapids. A feasibility study for this system was completed in 2006, and showed that passenger rail could be established between Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty with an approximate $18 million capital investment in track, rolling stock and stations/platforms. Eventually, this system could be extended to Cedar Rapids. Please consider a recommendation to the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board on the attached letter of support for future AMTRAK service into Johnson County. ~ Johnson County Council of Governments ~ 410 E Washington St Iowa City Iowa 52240 (" r Ii II II DRAFT Date: November 8, 2007 Letter to Iowa DOT Senior Staff & local state legislators Re: Passenger Rail While there are many unanswered questions regarding the capital and operations costs of AMTRAK service into Iowa, the Johnson County Council of Governments (JCCOG) is fully supportive of efforts to plan for extending additional AMTRAK service from Chicago to the Quad Cities, Iowa City and Des Moines. We are aware that there is a study being completed to quantify capital costs and operations costs for AMTRAK service on the Iowa Interstate Railroad line. This service would be consistent with the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative, of which JCCOG has been a past supporter. Passenger Rail will be an increasingly important option for our country. Passenger rail is a viable alternative to highway and air travel for medium range trips between 200-500 miles in distance. AMTRAK ridership has set a new record with 25,847,531 passengers in FY07. Ridership is increasing on Midwest passenger trains also; On the Chicago-St Louis line for example, ridership is up by 55.8 percent for state-owned trains, with a total of 477,888 passengers in FY07. Extending service from Chicago to the Quad Cities, Iowa City and Des Moines will provide a viable transportation alternative for many business travelers, students and the general public. JCCOG's interest in passenger rail is not just tied to AMTRAK. In 2006, a passenger rail feasibility study was completed to identify capital and operating costs for passenger rail service between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. With an estimated $18 million capital investment in track, equipment and stations passenger rail service could start between Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty. This service would serve these cities and the University of Iowa by reducing congestion, providing an alternative transportation mode for commuters as well as visitors, fostering efficient economic development around stations, and potentially forestalling the need to create additional capacity on area streets and highways. JCCOG is supportive of passenger rail efforts whether they be regional AMTRAK service, or local passenger rail. We are aware of the financial and logistic challenges involved in creating additional passenger rail service in Iowa. We encourage you to begin discussing the creation of a passenger rail capital and operations funding program as one of the first steps necessary to bring plans into reality.
