MAP-21 Overview
Florida Department of Transportation District 5
David Mulholland, Grady Smith, and Jeff Boothe
December 6, 2012
Recap of MAP-21
•
Adopted by Congress on June 29, 2012 and signed into law by
President Obama on July 6, 2012
• Provides $102.6 billion for FY 13 and FY 14
• Highways - $40.4 B in FY 13 and $41 B in FY 14
• Transit - $10.5 B in FY 13 and $10.7 B in FY 14
• Most provisions took effect on October 1, 2012
•
However, Highway Trust Fund and Mass Transit Account are both
expected to be insolvent in FY 15
•
Critical need for Congress to develop a long-term funding solution
• Outside possibility that “fiscal cliff” resolution would include an
increase in the gasoline tax
• 15¢ increase (5¢ per year for 3 years) recommended in
Bowles-Simpson
2
Major Themes of MAP-21
• Provides stable funding for two fiscal years
• Simplifies and streamlines federal highway and transit programs
• Greater emphasis on safety and state of good repair
• Accelerate project delivery and innovative finance
• Introduces the use of performance measures and scenario-based
planning at the State and metropolitan level
• Requires transit representation on MPO Boards within 2-years
3
FY 13 Highway Funding
4
Restructuring of Highway Programs
5
Continuing Ability to Flex Monies
•
MAP-21 retains provisions to flex monies to transit from STP and
CMAQ
Expanded eligibility under STP for congestion pricing, ferry boats and
terminals, off system bridges, border infrastructure, and congestion
pricing
• Enhancements eliminated and replaced by “Transportation Alternatives”
that expands eligibility to cover Safe Routes to Schools, Recreational Trails
and roadways within ROW of former Interstate or other divided highways
•
• 50% within local control while 50% can be transferred by States
to other programs
• Operating Assistance – FHWA will issue further guidance regarding
use of CMAQ for first three years of operations
6
Planning and Performance
Performance measures must be incorporated into long-range
planning and short-term programming processes
• LRTPs, TIPs and STIPs must show the progress that is expected to be
achieved by planned decisions and investments
• DOT will evaluate the appropriateness of State targets and the
progress that the State is making in achieving performance targets
• States and MPO plans will include performance reports that described
the progress made toward achieving performance targets
Scenario Planning
• MPOs can develop multiple scenarios for LRTPs, but scenarios must be
evaluated against performance measures
• Used to assess pros and cons, as well as, effects of each scenario
• FHWA is to conduct a study on costs and benefits associated with
scenario planning in developing the metropolitan transportation plan
• Analysis will also look at technical and financial capacity of MPOs to
develop planning scenarios
7
Definitions
• Vision: Long term, desired future for the transportation system
• Goals: Generalized statements that broadly relate the physical
environment to values
• Objectives: Specific measurable statements related to the
attainment of goals
• Performance Measures: Indicators that capture each
objective’s fundamental outcome
• Targets: Concrete description of the objective
8
“SMART” Objectives
• Specific: Sufficiently descriptive but not dictating
approach
• Measurable: Quantitative (number, degree)
• Agreed: Consensus on meaning and value
• Realistic: Can be accomplished with expected resources
• Time – bound: Identifies timeframe
9
Performance Measures Structure
• MAP-21 requires performance measures to increase the
accountability and transparency of the Federal-aid highway program
and improve project decision making through performance based
planning and programming
• Seven national goal areas: safety, infrastructure condition,
congestion, system reliability, freight movement and economic
vitality, environmental sustainability, reduced project delays
• DOT will establish measures in consultation with State DOTs, MPOs
and other stakeholders
• States are required to establish performance targets that reflect
performance measures established by DOT
• MPOs and transit operators, will set targets for each measure,
incorporate in plans and programs and report progress

What is Scenario Planning?
Scenario planning:
• Creates multiple plausible stories about what the future could be
• Develops a common understanding of issues and driving forces of
change that affect transportation
• Helps assess and prepare for possible future conditions
13
What is Scenario Planning?
• Integrates transportation and land use planning.
• Helps explain long-term consequences of today’s
decisions.
• Demonstrates how trade-offs can lead to desired
futures.
• Actively engages stakeholders.
• Similar to visioning and alternatives analysis but:
• Asks “what if…?”
• Compares and assesses future likely land uses.
• Examines interactions between multiple factors
and trends
14
TIFIA
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA)
• Provides credit assistance to eligible surface transportation projects, including
highways and transit
•
Secured Loans – direct loans with flexible repayment terms and providing
combined construction and permanent financing – up to 49% of project cost
•
Loan Guarantees – full-faith and credit loan guarantees by Federal government to
institutional investors – up to 49% of project cost
•
Lines of Credit – contingent sources of funding in form of loans that may be drawn
down during first ten years of construction – up to 33% of project cost
•
Master Credit Agreements – contingent commitment of future TIFIA assistance for
a program of projects secured by a common revenue pledge
• Program expanded from $250 M per year to $750 M in FY 13 and $1 B in FY 14
• Must be repaid through dedicated funding sources that secure the obligation,
such as tolls, user fees or payments
15

• Limited to 10% of available highway funding for States
• Projects that contain innovative project delivery techniques, contain
innovative technologies (ITS, recycling technology), or accelerates
project delivery (incentives for early completion of the project, program
or activity)
17
Accelerating Project Delivery
