WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

Introduction
Metropolitan and regional transportation planning organizations facilitate the coordinated planning and
implementation of a seamless transportation system for all users. This effort requires cooperation and close
collaboration among all entities involved in implementing, maintaining, and improving individual network
segments.

In the Walla Walla Valley, this facilitation responsibility is assigned to the Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan
Planning Organization and Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization (WWVMPO/SRTPO), which
includes representation from Oregon and Washington State, Valley Transit, the Port of Walla Walla, as well as
the cities and counties in the region.

Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization
Established on March 27, 2013, the Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (WWVMPO) is a
bi-state transportation planning agency located in the Walla Walla Valley region. As the federally designated
MPO for an urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000, the WWVMPO carries out the
continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3C) multimodal transportation planning process that encourages
and promotes the safe and efficient development, management, and operation of surface transportation
systems to serve the mobility needs of people and freight and to foster economic growth and development,
while minimizing transportation-related fuel consumption and air pollution. (23 USC 134)

Federal regulations require the WWVMPO to develop a regionally coordinated long-range transportation plan
and short-range improvement program to ensure consistency and efficient use of federal transportation funds.
The MPO’s bi-state planning area, shown in the figure on Page 2, includes the cities of College Place,
Milton-Freewater, and Walla Walla, and portions of the counties of Umatilla and Walla Walla.

The majority of funding for the WWVMPO is provided through transportation planning grants from the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), administered and supported by the
Oregon and Washington State departments of transportation (ODOT and WSDOT).

Walla Walla Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization
The Walla Walla Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization (SRTPO) was created by an agreement,
effective July 1, 2013, between the Benton-Franklin-Walla Walla Regional Transportation Planning Organization
(RTPO) and the WWVMPO as a means to make regional planning efforts with the new MPO more efficient.
The SRTPO boundary, also shown in the figure on Page 2, assigns almost all of Walla Walla County to the
WWVMPO, as the area covered under the newly established SRTPO. The Burbank area, a small portion of
western Walla Walla County, is by U.S. Census determination within the Kennewick-Pasco-Richland urbanized
area. Therefore, this portion of Walla Walla County is part of the Benton-Franklin RTPO and MPO planning area.

The Walla Walla SRTPO activities comply with Washington State’s RTPO requirements (RCW 47.80), which call
for transportation planning, at all jurisdictional levels, to be coordinated with local comprehensive plans in
order to achieve both statewide and local transportation goals.

Instead of creating a separate Policy Board and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the SRTPO, the
WWVMPO chose to expand the current MPO Policy Board and TAC to include additional members. Agencies
participating as members of the SRTPO include the MPO members in Washington State and representatives
from the cities of Prescott and Waitsburg.

State funding for the SRTPO, appropriated through WSDOT, is used to carry out the regional transportation
planning activities.

                                                                                                                 1

WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

Program Overview and Summary
Federal and state regulations require the WWVMPO/SRTPO to develop a short-term Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) for its metropolitan and regional study areas. Federal requirements call for a four-year, financially
constrained list of projects, whereas Washington State regulations stipulate a six-year list of projects.

In lieu of producing two separate documents, the combined Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan and Regional
Transportation Improvement Program (M/RTIP) is a six-year programming document, which demonstrates
financial constraint for federal funds throughout the first four years of the integrated financial plan.

The projects within the M/RTIP are derived from the WWVMPO/SRTPO managed call for federally funded
improvements; the cities’ and county’s six-year Comprehensive Transportation Programs, developed and
adopted by each of the local Washington State member entities; the Transportation System Plans, developed by
Oregon member entities; the six-year Transit Development Plans, developed and adopted by the local public
transportation agencies; and the project lists developed by the Departments of Transportation with jurisdiction
in the planning area. All projects contained in the M/RTIP must also be consistent with policy and project
recommendations included in the Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan and Regional Transportation - 2040 Plan.

The M/RTIP is updated annually and functions as a project programming document and financial plan that
identifies all federally funded and prioritized projects, as well as other transportation improvements of regional
significance, regardless of their funding source. General steps in the development of the M/RTIP include:

    •   The WWVMPO/SRTPO issues a Call for Projects, based on anticipated federal funding availability.
         Member entities select projects from the fiscally constrained project list contained in the 2040 Plan
            for consideration in the M/RTIP.
         The submitted projects are prioritized using the adopted project selection process and criteria.
         Projects are awarded within the limits of available federal funding.
    •   Local city and county governments and public transportation agencies prepare and submit their local six-
        year programs to WSDOT and the WWVMPO/SRTPO.
         Based on local comprehensive plans, these programs also contain non-federally funded, but regionally
            significant projects.
    •   The WWVMPO/SRTPO coordinates with ODOT and WSDOT regarding anticipated state-managed projects.
    •   The public and interested parties are afforded early and reasonable opportunity for involvement and a
        public hearing is held to obtain the views of the public on the proposed program of projects.
    •   Prior to program adoption, the WWVMPO/SRTPO reviews all projects to ensure the following –
         All projects scheduled for federal funding are included in the TIP;
         Federally funded projects are fiscally constrained by year and funding source;
         All regionally significant projects are included, regardless of funding source; and
         The M/RTIP projects are consistent with the current metropolitan and regional transportation plan.

WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

Once adopted, the M/RTIP is included in the respective Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs (STIP).
ODOT and WSDOT are responsible for the statewide coordination of their STIPs. Following federal approval of
the STIPs, local jurisdictions may begin obligating federal funds for their projects.

Regulatory Background
WWVMPO/SRTPO staff assembles the M/RTIP in full compliance with the following federal and state laws.

Federal Requirements
According to 23 USC 134 (j), the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program must –

    •   Be cooperatively developed by the MPO, cities, counties, transit agencies, and state DOT;
    •   Include regionally significant and all federally funded transportation capital and non-capital projects;
    •   List prioritized projects with description, total cost, and implementing agency;
    •   Encompass four years of programmed projects;
    •   Be updated regularly – at least once every four years;
    •   Include cooperatively determined funding estimates;
    •   Demonstrate fiscal constraint by year and funding source;
    •   Be consistent with the adopted Metropolitan Transportation Plan; and
    •   May include a list of illustrative (unfunded) projects.
In compliance with 49 USC 53 (c), the TIP also satisfies the public participation requirements pertaining to
Section 5307 grant funding received from the Federal Transit Administration.

State Requirements
According to RCW 47.80.023 (5), the Regional Transportation Improvement Program must –

    •   Be cooperatively developed by the RTPO, cities, counties, transit agencies, and state DOT;
    •   Include regionally significant transportation projects and programs, transportation demand
        management (TDM) measures, as well as projects that advance special needs coordination
        transportation as identified by the Agency Council on Coordinated Transportation;
    •   Provide a priority list of projects, programs, and TDM measures;
    •   Encompass six years of programmed projects;
    •   Be updated at least every two years;
    •   Include a financial plan that demonstrates how programmed projects can be funded;
    •   Be based on the local 6-year programs, projects, and TDM measures of regional significance identified
        by transit agencies, cities, and counties, as well as WSDOT; and
    •   Be consistent with the adopted Regional Transportation Plan.

Program Purpose and Scope
Each year the WWVMPO/SRTPO prepares the M/RTIP in coordination with local jurisdictions, public
transportation agencies, ODOT, and WSDOT. All projects in the 2017-2022 M/RTIP have been reviewed and
found to be consistent with the goals and objectives in local comprehensive plans, the 2040 Plan, and the
respective State Transportation Plans.

M/RTIP Purpose and Scope in Washington State
The WWVMPO/SRTPO is required by federal and Washington State regulations to develop a Metropolitan and
Regional Transportation Improvement Program (M/RTIP) for its metropolitan and sub-regional transportation
planning areas. The Metropolitan TIP spans a 4-year period, whereas the Regional TIP spans a six-year period.

                                                                                                                   4
WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

In lieu of producing two separate documents, the combined M/RTIP functions as a six-year document, which is
updated annually and identifies prioritized, regionally significant transportation projects, and demonstrates
financial constraint in using federal funds for the first four years of the financial plan.

The M/RTIP aids in the coordination of transportation planning throughout the region. The program provides
the public, elected officials, state and local staff, transit providers, tribes, and other interested parties the
opportunity to review projects for consistency with regional and local plans, goals, and policies. The M/RTIP
requires approval by the WWVMPO/SRTPO Policy Board, the Federal Highway Administration and Federal
Transit Administration, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Washington State
Governor’s Office. The approved M/RTIP is then included in the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP). WSDOT is responsible for the statewide coordination of the STIP. The Washington STIP process
and project list can be found at: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/LocalPrograms/ProgramMgmt/STIP.htm.

Once local agency projects are programmed, WSDOT manages the local portion of the federal highway funds on
a first-come first-served basis. Following federal approval of the STIP, local jurisdictions may begin obligating
federal funds for their projects. The regional procedures allow any federal project included in the STIP to be
advanced or delayed without STIP amendment contingent upon the financial balance being maintained for each
fiscal year.

MTIP Purpose and Scope in Oregon State
The timing for the Washington State and Oregon Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
development activities are generally not concurrent.

    •   The current 2015-2018 TIP for WWVMPO Oregon members was developed ahead of the
        WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 M/RTIP, and the Oregon-specific projects are included in this M/RTIP to
        inform the public.
    •   At this time, the 2018-2021 Oregon STIP is under development and a draft release for public comment is
        anticipated in January 2017. Upon adoption of the Oregon STIP, Oregon-specific TIP projects will again
        be included in the WWVMPO/SRTPO M/RTIP.
The Oregon-specific TIP projects require approval by the WWVMPO/SRTPO Policy Board, the Federal Highway
Administration and Federal Transit Administration, as well as the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the
Oregon Governor’s Office. ODOT is responsible for the statewide coordination of the Oregon STIP. The Oregon
STIP process and project list can be found at: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/STIP/Pages/STIPDocs.aspx.

Once local agency projects are programmed, ODOT manages the local portion of the federal highway funds on a
first-come first-served basis and, in coordination with local jurisdictions, may choose to exchange the federal
funds for state funds. If local jurisdictions are recipients of federal funds, following federal approval of the STIP,
local jurisdictions may begin obligating federal funds for their projects. The regional procedures allow any
federal project included in the STIP to be advanced or delayed without STIP amendment contingent upon the
financial balance being maintained for each fiscal year.

Public Involvement
Citizens and interested parties are provided opportunity to comment on the draft M/RTIP as required under the
Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The public review period for the draft 2017-2022 M/RTIP
was held from September 21, 2016 through October 4, 2016. Furthermore, a public hearing, conducted as part
of the regular Policy Board meeting on October 5, 2016, provides an opportunity to obtain the views of the
public on the proposed projects.

                                                                                                                     5
WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

Public notices announcing the availability of the draft were published in the newspaper of record and on the
WWVMPO/SRTPO website. A copy of the draft 2017-2022 M/RTIP was also available for public viewing at three
physical locations in Walla Walla County: the Walla Walla Library, Waitsburg City Hall, and the WWVMPO/SRTPO
office. An electronic copy was posted on the WWVMPO/SRTPO website at http://wwvmpo.org/public-
participation.html. All public comments received are included in Appendix H.

It is important to note that public involvement activities and time established for public review and comment
on the M/RTIP satisfies Program of Projects (POP) public involvement requirements of the Federal Transit
Administration Section 5307 Program as they relate to Valley Transit public transportation projects.

Title VI Assurance
As a recipient of federal and state funds, the WWVMPO/SRTPO is subject to the provisions of Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987. In compliance with the requirements, the agency
assures that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, or sex, be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity
conducted by the WWVMPO/SRTPO.

The agency has an approved Title VI Plan on file. Any Title VI issues discovered during the development of the
M/RTIP will be corrected in the first available 2017-2022 M/RTIP amendment in January 2017.

Intermodal/Multimodal Provisions
The WWVMPO/SRTPO and its member entities recognize that quality of life, which is highly valued by regional
stakeholders and the public, is inherently improved through the advancement of pedestrian and bicycle related
transportation projects.

Therefore, all projects listed in the 2017-2022 M/RTIP considered context-sensitive provisions for pedestrian and
bicycle transportation modes to the extent possible.

NHS Facility Certification
Following the adoption of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act in 2012, the National
Highway System (NHS) was greatly expanded. Accounting for 37.99 miles in the WWVMPO/SRTPO area, local
agencies with NHS routes are responsible for maintaining those roadway segments. Because of their national
and strategic significance, NHS routes are deemed to be of greater importance than non-NHS routes.

The WWVMPO/SRTPO certifies that NHS routes have been given priority by agencies throughout their six-year
programming process.

Major Projects Implemented Since the Previous TIP
Since the previous M/RTIP was approved, the following projects have either been completed or all associated
funding has been obligated and the project is still under construction:

    •   2015 Walla Walla Pedestrian Improvements – City of Walla Walla
    •   E. 7th Street Sidewalk (WA-06419) – City of Waitsburg
    •   Waitsburg Sidewalk Improvements (waits15) – City of Waitsburg

WWVMPO/SRTPO 2017-2022 Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program

Financial Plan
Fiscal feasibility is a significant priority in determining the final list of 2017-2022 M/RTIP transportation
improvements. Federal and state requirements mandate that this document be fiscally constrained and only
include projects that can reasonably be expected to have adequate funding

Funding Sources
The 2017-2022 M/RTIP is funded from a variety of federal, state, and local sources. A list of the most common of
funding programs is shown in Appendix G. It is important to note that not all state and locally funded projects
have to be programmed in the M/RTIP, unless one or more of the following conditions apply:

    •   State or local funds are used to match federal dollars;
    •   Projects that require federal approval or other formal federal action; or
    •   The state or locally funded projects are of regional significance.

Financial Constraint
The M/RTIP covers six years of projects from 2017-2022. Placement of M/RTIP projects are based on priority;
projects to be obligated in 2017 are the highest priority. Carry-over projects from 2016 are included with the
high priority projects.

The financial constraint for federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Transportation Alternatives (TA)
funding is tied directly to the anticipated allocations to the WWVMPO/SRTPO provided through WSDOT.
Close coordination between WSDOT and the agency allowed the estimation of STBG and TA funding from 2017
through 2020. The table below summarizes the associated funding assumptions.

STBG and TA funding not tied to 2016-2021 M/RTIP carry-over projects, is assigned to new projects through a
regionwide STBG and TA call for projects, which took place in June and July of 2016. Placement of the projects
within the first four years of the M/RTIP is based on project priority as well as available funding for the
respective urban, rural, and any area categories; carry-over projects retain their original timing whenever
possible.

                                                                                                                  7

Appendix A provides a funding summary by source for all projects within the MPO/SRTPO area in Washington
State. Appendix B expands upon this financial information and demonstrates fiscal constraint for each source of
federal funding by year.

Appendix C provides detailed project descriptions and financial information by project phase and source for all
projects within the MPO/SRTPO area in Washington State, whereas detailed information on Oregon MPO area
projects is shown in Appendix D. It is important to note that although this M/RTIP discloses project description
and financial details for all WWVMPO/SRTPO projects, it does not include Oregon-specific project funding in the
fiscal constraint calculation.

M/RTIP Amendment Process
The WWVMPO/SRTPO will develop the calendar year (CY) 2017 internal amendment schedule for Washington
State and Oregon projects by November 2016. Each member agency’s request for an M/RTIP amendment must
include the project title, description, cost, funding sources, implementation schedule, and reason for the
amendment. The project amendment will undergo the same review process of the original project submittal to
assure compliance with federal and state laws and consistency with the 2040 Plan.

Amendment to WA MPO/SRTPO Projects
Local jurisdictions or agencies located in Washington may submit a request for an M/RTIP amendment according
to the internal schedule, which is based on guidance given by WSDOT:
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/LocalPrograms/ProgramMgmt/STIP.htm

The M/RTIP is required to be amended for a project within Washington State, if it meets any of the conditions
listed in the table on the following page. (Please note, the table has been extracted from Appendix C of WSDOT’s
most recent STIP document.)

                                                                                                                  8

Amendment to OR MPO Projects
Local jurisdictions or agencies located in Oregon may submit a request for an M/RTIP amendment according to
the internal schedule. Although ODOT accepts amendments to the STIP on a daily basis, the WWVMPO must
follow the established schedule prior to the ODOT STIP submission process to allow for approval of TIP
amendments by its Technical Advisory Committee and Policy Board.

The M/RTIP is required to be amended for an Oregon project, if it meets any of the conditions in the following
amendment categories listed in the STIP Users Guide:
    1. Full Amendment
        Adding a state or federally funded (FHWA or FTA) project, or a project that requires an action by
            FWHA or FTA (any funding source), to the STIP;
        Adding a regionally significant project to the STIP (any funding source);
        Cancelling a state or federally funded project, or a project that requires an action by FHWA or FTA
            (any funding source), from the STIP;
        Moving an approved project to a NEEDS status, releasing funding from the project;
        Major change in scope of a project;
        Adding or deleting a construction phase to an approved STIP project;
        Changing Project Eligibility Criteria conditions on a project for which the OTC has applied conditions
            of approval; or
        Advancing the PE phase of a project from a Draft STIP to the current STIP.
    2. Administrative Amendment
        Adding a federally funded project that is funded with discretionary/earmark funds;
        Adding a non-federally funded project that doesn’t impact air quality conformity or require FHWA or
          FTA action to the STIP;
        Advancing an approved project or phase of a project from year two, three, or four into the current
          year of the STIP;
        Adding or deleting any phase (except construction) of an approved project;
        Combining two or more approved projects into one project;
        Splitting an approved project into two or more projects, or splitting part of an approved project into
          a new one;
        Breaking a new project out of an approved program-specific pool of funds (but not reserves for
          future projects) or adding funds to an existing project from a bucket or reserve;
        Minor technical corrections to make the printed STIP consistent with prior approvals (such as
          typographic errors or missing data);
        Changing name of project due to change in scope, combining or splitting of projects, or to better
          conform to naming convention;
        Increasing or decreasing the federal funds of an FTA-funded project, without affecting fiscal
          constraint of the STIP;
        Adding FHWA funds to an approved FTA-funded project; or
        Obligating funds that exceed 20% or $100,000 of the phase cost, whichever is greater, as compared
          to the current STIP
    3. Project Control System (PCS) Database Changes
        Moving an approved project or phase of a project from the current year of the STIP to a later year; or
        Increasing or decreasing the federal funds of an FHWA-funded or state-funded project, without
           affecting fiscal constraint of the STIP

                                                                                                                 10
