Hampton Roads 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan: Proposed Amendment
HRTPO Staff received requests from the cities of Chesapeake and Suffolk to amend the Hampton Roads 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to add the following projects:
A. City of Suffolk – North Suffolk Connector
Ms. Sherry Earley, Suffolk Assistant Director of Public Works/City Engineer, requested to amend the 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The City requested to replace Finney Avenue Flyover (project 2040-142), which currently appears in the fiscally-constrained Plan as an intermodal project with an estimated cost of $38 million with the North Suffolk Connector (project #2040-135), which appears in the 2040 LRTP Regional Transportation Vision Plan as a scored candidate project. The City of Suffolk recently funded and completed a study of the North Suffolk Connector project and developed cost estimates for the several alternative alignments. Year-of-expenditure costs for Phase I of the project is estimated to be $34.2 million (2026 year of expenditure dollars), less than the cost associated with the Finney Avenue Flyover project. This requested amendment would not impact LRTP fiscal-constraint, but would allow the City an opportunity to move forward on requesting SMART SCALE funding on this much needed project in a quickly growing sector of the city.
B. City of Virginia Beach – Laskin Road Corridor Projects, Laskin Road Phase III, General Booth Blvd Mr. Brian Solis, Virginia Beach Transportation and Transit Planning Manager, requested to amend the 2040 LRTP. The City updated the phasing and refine the cost estimates for the Laskin Road corridor projects as well as replacing two locally-funded highway projects for SMART SCALE Round 3 consideration. Since the 2040 LRTP was adopted in July 2016, the Laskin Road Phase I, Laskin Road Phase II, and Laskin Road Bridge projects, currently included in the fiscally constrained 2040 LRTP, have been updated. The cost refinement now includes all prior project expenditures associated with design, site acquisition and private utility adjustments, as well as addressing sea level rise and recurrent flooding criteria. The Laskin Road corridor projects were estimated at $95,000,000 in the adopted LRTP. The refined costs are $135,995,306. The recommended course for addressing the $40,995,306 cost estimate increase with City of Virginia Beach local funds is explained below.
In considering highway projects for SMART SCALE Round 3 funding, the City evaluated its list of priority projects through the lens of SMART SCALE screening criteria. Through that
Attachment 7
Summary TTAC Minutes – May 2, 2018 – Page 12 Prepared by S. Core
process, the City determined that the Laskin Road Phase III (Republic Rd to I-264) and the General Booth Blvd (London Bridge Rd to Nimmo Pkwy) projects are stronger candidates per SMART SCALE criteria than the Indian River Rd (Elbow Rd to North Landing Rd) and Ferrell Pkwy (Pleasant Valley Rd to Salem Rd) locally-funded projects that are currently included in the fiscally-constrained 2040 LRTP. In order to address the additional costs of the existing LRTP fiscally-constrained Laskin Road corridor projects ($40,995,306) and the proposed SMART SCALE Round 3 Virginia Beach projects ($51,778,352), it is recommended that the Indian River Rd and Ferrell Pkwy projects be replaced in the 2040 LRTP. The current estimated costs for the latter projects are $99,000,000, all of which is local City of Virginia Beach funding.
C. US 58 Corridor Study Ms. Dale M. Stith, HRTPO Principal Transportation Planner, reported the US 58 Corridor Study was initiated in 2017 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this calendar year. The cost of the study is estimated at $151,000, and is funded by VDOT’s State Planning and Research Work Program.
US 58 is a regionally-significant facility serving as an important freight corridor and hurricane evacuation route. Additionally, US 58 is also being considered as a candidate Round 2 Regional Priority Project. It is therefore recommended that this study be included in the fiscally-constrained 2040 LRTP.
The proposed LRTP amendments have been made available for public review and comment, beginning on April 25, 2018 and concluding on May 9, 2018.
Mr. Pullen MOVED to recommend HRTPO approval of the LRTP Amendments; seconded by Mr. Moore. The Motion Carried.

Safety Performance Measures Amendment For FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program
Mr. John Mihaly, HRTPO Senior Transportation Planner noted that the TTAC was briefed on this item in September 2017 and January 2018. These measures stem from MAP 21 surface transportation legislation, which established a performance and outcome-based program. The MPOs and States were directed to prepare and use a set of federally-established performance measures. They must also set targets and monitor progress for each of these performance measures. MPOs must include targets and report on progress in planning documents such as the LRTP and the TIP. The TIP also includes a description of the anticipated effect of the TIP toward achieving the performance targets identified by the MPO in the LRTP. It also links investment priorities in the TIP to the achievement of performance targets in the LRTP.
There are a number of ways that the TIP will help Hampton Roads meet these targets:
• The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) • SMART SCALE – Two safety measures address multimodal transportation safety concerns
through the implementation of crash reduction strategies. • RSTP Project Prioritization Process – Candidate project evaluations include several project
categories that address safety as an integral part of the overall scoring criteria. • Active Transportation Projects – Through the TA Set-Aside Program and HSIP’s Bicycle and
Pedestrian Safety Program
Mr. Moore Moved to recommend HRTPO Board approval of the Safety Performance Measures Amendment for FY 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program; seconded by Mr. Stilley. The Motion Carried.
Project Consistency with the Long Range Transportation Plan
Ms. Dale Stith, Principal Transportation Planner, reported recent policy changes in the SMART SCALE process requires that all project submissions must be consistent with the regional fiscally-

constrained Long-Term Transportation Plan (LRTP) or have an accompanying resolution from the MPO. Per TTAC recommendation, This was discussed at the April 2018 LRTP Subcommittee Meeting. She provided the current LRTP amendment policy for SMART SCALE projects noting the following:
• HRTPO staff preference for SMART SCALE applications is for the project to already be included in the current LRTP
• If a locality receives SMART SCALE funding for a regionally-significant project not included in the LRTP:
o the locality must identify a current LRTP project within its jurisdiction from which to transfer LRTP planning funds
o if there are insufficient LRTP planning funds on projects within the jurisdiction of the locality receiving SMART SCALE funds, then consensus from the LRTP Subcommittee with a recommendation to TTAC will be needed before an amendment can be considered by the HRTPO Board
Ms. Stith also provided current HRTPO Guidance on SMART SCALE noting that in response to a request for HRTPO support of a project application, HRTPO staff will review the proposed projects to ensure they are consistent with the current fiscally constrained LRTP and the TIP, as applicable. Resolutions of support will only be issued for projects that are consistent with the LRTP.
She detailed the process for requesting a SMART SCALE Resolution of Support stating if a project is consistent with the LRTP a Resolution of Support is not require but if requested, HRTPO will provide one. If a project is not consistent with the LRTP the request should state how project is consistent with LRTP goals. A resolution if support will include fiscal-constraint language referenced in the current LRTP SMART SCALE amendment policy. For Round 3 of SMART SCALE, a request should be made in writing by June 29, 2018 in order to be included on the July HRTPO Board agenda for consideration. Current LRTP Amendment request (April/May) for non-exempt conformity projects will be provided a resolution of support.
Hampton Roads Military Transportation Needs Study Draft
Mr. Sam Belfield, HRTPO Senior Transportation Engineer presented the Hampton Roads Military Transportation Needs Study. The objective of the study is to determine military transportation needs and to provide an efficient and safe transportation network for the military in Hampton Roads. This report provides updated data to the 2011-2013 study. The report identifies major Military and supporting sites and roadways serving the military. This report also determines deficiencies within this roadway network in order to prioritize transportation projects and solutions to improve military travel. He reported Virginia is the top state in total defense spending of $53 billion which equals 13% of the total U.S. Defense spending. He noted there are thirteen Strategic Highway Networks (STRAHNET) in Hampton Roads. STRAHNET is a total minimum defense highway network to support defense emergency and are used for daily military cargo movement. The report shows congested roadways serving the military during the peak morning and afternoon commutes.
Recommendations from the report include:

Summary TTAC Minutes – May 2, 2018 – Page 15 Prepared by S. Core
• Update the LRTP Project Prioritization Tool to include revised military and supporting sites and ‘Roadways Serving the Military in Hampton Roads” in this 2018 study update
• Rehabilitate or replace two structurally deficient bridges with identified funding • Ensure vertical clearances are below Military Preferences • Widen all “Roadways Serving the Military” to a minimum of 12 feet and give priority to
STRAHNET roadways • Consider sea level rise and potential storm surge impacts to “Roadways Serving the Military”
Next steps include future updates to Hampton Roads Military Transportation Needs study approximately every five years. HRTPO staff will also coordinate with military installations and STRAHNET changes.
Mr. Belfield requested the committee review the study and provide comments to him at [email protected] by Wednesday, May 23, 2018. Final approval will be sought at the July 2018 TTAC and HRTPO Board meetings.
VAMPO Letter in New State Transportation Revenue System
Mr. John Mihaly, HRTPO Senior Transportation Planner introduced a letter from the Virginia Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (VAMPO) requesting the Commonwealth of Virginia study and develop a new revenue system not based on the gas tax. They noted the existing level of transportation funding is inadequate to meet statewide needs. VAMPO reported the last round of SMART SCALE had over $9 billion in project request that competed for $1 billion of available funding. The letter introduces a study conducted by Forbes which noted at the end of 2016 electric vehicles accounted for less than 1% of the US market share, but is projected to grow between 8-10% by 2025 and 25-38% by 2030. VAMPO stated if the current transportation funding does not change this transition will decrease SMART SCALE and other State funding availability.
Mr. Moore Moved to recommend HRTPO Board support of the Virginia Association of Metropolitan Planning Organization (VAMPO); request for the Commonwealth of Virginia to conduct an alternative study for generating revenue for transportation improvement; seconded by Mr. Stilley. The Motion Carried.
Transit Funding Reform
Ms. Jennifer DeBruhl, DRPT Chief of Public Transportation, noted it was a very active 2018 General Assembly session. House Bill 1539 has statewide components that restructure and simplify transit funding programs. The bill provides a specific carve out for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). WMATA consisting half of the States budgeted transit program. Changes in WMATA funding or needs can affect the entire program. The percentage given to WMATA was an average of the last four years. Capital project revenue bonds represent over 40% of the transit capital program. There was nothing in General Assembly legislation to address the statewide revenue loss by not reauthorizing bonds. There is a one-time $50 million reauthorization for federal PRIIA match for WMATA. A slate of three reforms regarding the transit capital prioritization will be in place by July 1, 2019. The next Six Year Improvement Program (SYIP) will be done completely different next year. A portion of the program will be focused on state of good repair, and transit assets management principles. Minor enhancement not called out in legislation will be addressed through policy with the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). Major expansion

prioritization will be based on the same factors as SMART SCALE. WMATA is exempt from this process and will no longer be eligible to seek transit capital funding.
Recommendations for prioritization principles are:
• Program priorities reduce backlog and maintain state of good repair • Match Rate – single rate for all assets, 68% • Program structure – separate funding for state of good repair, minor enhancement, and
major expansion • Transparency
