Report from nominating committee for 2024 MPOJC Board officers Ralston reminded the Board that at their November meeting, they appointed a three-person nominating committee for 2024 MPOJC Board Officers. The committee was comprised of Laurie Goodrich (Coralville), Chris Hoffman (North Liberty), and Brian Wayson (North Liberty). Wayson stated that the committee recommended Louise From for the position of Chair and Rod Sullivan for the position of Vice Chair. i. Consider action Wayson moved to approve the appointment as presented; Moe seconded. The motion carried unanimously. b. Consider approval of the FY25 MPOJC Budget and Financial Forecast Ralston explained that there has been an approximate 2.75% increase in the budget from FY24, which is primarily due to increases in costs for staff benefits and wages. Ralston explained that MPOJC assessments are based on the 2020 decennial census figures, as required by MPO bylaws, and that the budget also reflects the continued use of internal carryover funds and Iowa DOT funding to ensure an appropriate balance of funds per Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines. Ralston asked the Board for approval of the FY25 MPOJC budget. Sullivan moved to approve; Salih seconded. The motion carried unanimously. c. Consider approval of the FY25 Johnson County Assessments for the East Central Iowa Council of Governments Ralston explained that MPOJC collects East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) dues for Johnson County entities and forwards them to ECICOG. Ralston stated that ECICOG provides planning and grant administration services in the areas of community and economic development, housing, transportation, and solid waste management. Ralston asked for approval of the FY25 East Central Iowa Council of Governments Assessment Schedule. Salih moved to approve; Green seconded. The motion carried unanimously. d. Consider appointments to the East Central Iowa Council of Governments Board of Directors Ralston reminded the Board of the MPOJC entities responsible for appointments to the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) Board of Directors for 2024. Per the bylaws, the entities responsible for appointing elected officials for 2024 include Johnson County, North Liberty, and Oxford. Ralston shared the official appointees from each entity: Jon Green (Johnson County), Chris Hoffman (North Liberty), Sean Murphy (Oxford), and Allison Wells (Citizen Appointment). Ralston asked for approval of the appointments to the ECICOG Board of Directors. Bergus moved to approve; Wayson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. e. Consider appointment of a representative to the Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Board of Directors Ralston explained that every other year, MPOJC is asked to appoint a representative to the Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Board of Directors. SUDAS is a non-profit organization managed by Iowa State University’s Institute for Transportation which maintains Iowa manuals for public improvement design standards and specifications including sanitary sewer, water mains, streets and sidewalks, utility locations, drainage and erosion control, and others. Ralston stated that Scott Larson, the City Engineer for the City of Coralville, is the current representative and has indicated his willingness and desire to continue to represent MPOJC for another two-year term. Ralston reminded the Board that the only requirement for this appointment is that the representative be a professional engineer working for one of the MPOJC entities. Ralston asked for the approval of Scott Larson to the SUDAS Board of Directors. Sullivan moved to approve; Peterson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. f. Discuss MPOJC Orientation opportunity for Board members Ralston stated that a short orientation is offered to new or current Board members who are interested in an explanation of the designation and role of MPOJC, services provided by MPOJC, and the structure of the organization. Moe, Salih, and Peterson expressed interest.` 4. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING a. Consider approval of Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 Transit Operating Formula Funding apportionment for FY2023 Neel stated that MPOJC has a total of $4,672,402 available in FY2023 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 operating assistance. This amount also includes Small Transit Intensive Communities (STIC) funding. Neel explained that for more than 10 years, MPOJC had used the same local formula to distribute funds based on prior year transit statistics from each of the three systems: 25% operating/maintenance costs, 25% locally determined income (LDI), 25% revenue miles, and 25% fare revenue. Iowa City Transit requested a review of this formula prior to their agency transitioning to a zero-fare system. Neel explained that after discussions with the transit managers, the consensus was to adopt a percentage- based allocation based on historic averages and to review those percentages if/when there are major changes to any of the systems. Neel reminded the Board that at their July 11, 2023, meeting they approved the following fixed percentages: Coralville 16.10%, Iowa City 60.50%, and University of Iowa Cambus 23.40%. The proposed apportionment of the FY2023 FTA Section 5307 amounts for each agency are as follows: $752,257 for Coralville, $2,826,803 for Iowa City, and $1,093,342 for University of Iowa Cambus. Neel then asked the Board for approval of the proposed apportionment of the FY2023 FTA Section 5307 operating funds. Green moved to approve; Wayson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. b. Update on the MPOJC FY25 Transportation Planning Work Program and FY25- 28 Transportation Improvement Program Ralston explained that the Transportation Planning Work Program is a document developed each year to identify projects that will be worked on the following year. The Work Program is developed in a coordinated effort between the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Urbanized Area Policy Board. Ralston stated that all state – and federally – required planning processes and documentation, ongoing and routine projects, and special projects requested by member entities should be included in the Work Program. The solicitation for these projects from communities will begin in February. Ralston stated that the final Work Program will be considered by the Board in May. Next, Ralston explained that the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the programming document for all federally funded transportation improvements within the Iowa City Urbanized Area including streets, highways, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian projects. Ralston stated that projects need to be in the TIP in order to utilize federal funds. Ralston reminded the Board of the previously allocated $9.3 million in Surface Transportation Block Grant funds that will be reflected in the FY25-28 TIP. Ralston stated that in the spring of 2025, the Board will allocate funds again – approximately $7 million in Surface Transportation Block Grant funds, $1.8 million in Transportation Alternative Program funds, and $2.8 million in Carbon Reduction Program funds to be reflected in the FY26-FY29 TIP. Ralston explained that in July, the Urbanized Area Policy Board will consider the FY2025- 28 TIP for adoption. c. Update on the Metro Area Traffic Collision Analysis Bothell stated that MPOJC staff completed the 2020-2022 Metro Area Traffic Collision Analysis. The analysis identifies any intersection or mid-block location that experienced three or more collisions in the urbanized area between 2020 and 2022. These locations are then ranked based on a formula using number of collisions, crash rates, and severity of collisions. Bothell explained that the document helps to determine which locations, by jurisdiction, could benefit from potential countermeasures that could reduce the number and severity of collisions. Bothell stated that the full report would be available in the coming weeks. d. Update on Metro Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Collision Data Walz stated that overall, collisions have been trending downwards for both bicyclists and pedestrians. This downward trend started in 2016 with record lows being reached during the COVID-19 pandemic. Walz explained that although the number of pedestrian collisions is dropping, the severity of these collisions is increasing. For bicyclists, there has also been a decrease in the number of collisions along with a decrease in the severity of these collisions. In 2023, there were zero (0) serious injury or fatal bicycle collisions in the metro. e. Update on the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Walz explained that in July 2023, MPOJC staff submitted an application on behalf of the Urbanized Area for a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant. In December, it was announced that MPOJC was awarded a $300,000 grant to create a Safety Action Plan focused on reducing roadway deaths and serious injuries. Walz mentioned that the adoption of such a plan will also make communities eligible for demonstration and implementation grants through the same program to correct the issues identified in the Safety Action Plan. Walz noted that there are still several steps that MPOJC must go through before hiring a consultant and that they will be in touch with communities once they have more details. f. Verbal update on the CRANDIC Bus Rapid Transit Study from the MPOJC Director Ralston explained that the consultants, Felsburg, Holt and Ulliveg (FHU) and Nelson Nygard, are currently working on a Bus Rapid Transit study to determine the best routes and stops, amongst other details. Ralston mentioned that the stakeholder committee includes a member from each of the three transit agencies, two Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) staff members, a member from Johnson County, a member from North Liberty, and a member from Better Together 2030. Ralston reminded the Board that this is a very high-level study to determine the feasibility of a Bus Rapid Transit system and the associated costs. g. Verbal update on a transit pilot project from the Johnson County Mobility Coordinator Schneider, the Mobility Coordinator for Johnson County, explained that TripConnect is a pilot project designed to provide residents of Johnson County with transportation options. The goal of the project is to connect workers with employment opportunities in North Liberty and Coralville by offering a door-to-door transportation service. Schneider noted that they have applied for grant funding and have received $350,000 from the State and $75,000 from the National Center for Mobility Management. Schneider explained that this service will be outsourced to a private transportation company to allow the three metro-area transportation agencies to focus on their current service. 5. OTHER BUSINESS None. 6. ADJOURNMENT Salih moved to adjourn the meeting; Moe seconded. The motion carried unanimously. From adjourned the meeting at 5:37 p.m. Date: May 22, 2024 To: Urbanized Area Policy Board From: Hannah Neel, Associate Transportation Planner Re: Agenda item #3(a): Public Hearing and consideration of an amendment to the FY2024- 2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) – adjusting the project termini for the Iowa DOT I-380 Improvement Project The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the programming document for all surface transportation projects that receive state or federal funds, including street and highway, transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian projects in the Iowa City urbanized area. MPOJC submits the TIP annually to the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to document the status of local transportation projects using state and federal funds. To utilize these funds, projects must be included in the TIP with an accurate scope and identified funding sources. The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) has requested an amendment to the adopted MPOJC FY2024-2027 TIP to change a project terminus for the New Bridge/Grade and Pave/Traffic Signs on I 380 project in Johnson County, Iowa. Amend the FY2024-2027 TIP to change a project terminus: Current project location for the New Bridge/Grade and Pave/Traffic Signs on I 380 project: 1.0 mi N of Forevergreen Rd to N of Swan Lake Rd (TPMS ID 48578). New project location for the New Bridge/Grade and Pave/Traffic Signs on I 380 project: N of I-80 to N of Swan Lake Rd (TPMS ID 48578). Staff is requesting approval of the proposed amendment. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendment at their May 21st meeting. I will be at your May 29th meeting to answer any questions you may have. Date: May 22, 2024 To: Urbanized Area Policy Board From: Hannah Neel, Associate Transportation Planner Re: Agenda Item #3(b): Update on the MPOJC FY2025 Transit Program of Projects Coralville Transit, Iowa City Transit, and University of Iowa Cambus are programming projects for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds in FY2025. The projects will be included in the FY2025 Iowa Department of Transportation’s Consolidated Transit Funding applications MPOJC completes for each transit system and in the FY2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Not every project listed in the Program of Projects will be funded; however, to be eligible for federal funding, projects must be included in the Program of Projects. This information is being distributed to you for your review and will be included in the draft FY2025- 2028 MPOJC TIP which will also be presented to you at your May meeting. All three transit agencies will hold public hearings and have their Program of Projects approved as part of their Consolidated Funding Applications process by June 21st. I will be at your May 29th meeting to answer any questions you may have. Date: May 22, 2024 To: Urbanized Area Policy Board From: Hannah Neel, Associate Transportation Planner Re: Agenda Item #3(c): Consider approval of Draft FY2025-2028 MPOJC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects The annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is our local programming document for federal and state surface transportation and transit projects. Project pages from the draft FY2025- 2028 TIP for both surface transportation and transit projects are attached. You will notice some projects anticipated to be let in FY2024 are listed in FY2025 in the draft TIP. The DOT’s software used to develop the TIP does this automatically; projects will be dropped from the FY2025 list if they are let in FY2024. The DOT has indicated that they will be closely monitoring all STBG and TAP carryover balances and strongly encourage communities to spend the funding when programmed. At your March 2023 meeting, the Urbanized Area Policy Board awarded $9.3 million in Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) funds to four projects to be programmed in FY2027- 2028. The projects programmed in FY2027 include Coralville’s Dubuque Street NE and Forevergreen Road Roundabout project ($675,000), North Liberty’s South Dubuque Street Reconstruction (Phase 2) project ($1,100,000), and University Heights’ Sunset Street and Melrose Avenue project ($225,000). These projects were included in last year’s FY2024-2027 TIP. Iowa City’s Burlington Street/Highway 1 Bridge Improvements project ($7,300,000) was programmed in FY2028 and is included in this year’s TIP (FY2025-2028). Please note that the available federal-aid-swap, whereby federal dollars could be swapped for state funding for Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) projects, is no longer permitted by the Iowa DOT. Due to this decision, please be aware that all MPO STBG funded projects must continue to follow the federal-aid project development process. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Program 5307 operating funds were also apportioned by the Policy Board in January and the FY2025 estimated funding amounts are also included in the draft FY2025-2028 TIP. The TIP also includes projects from the MPO Transit Program of Projects, which will be approved by the Policy Board at your July meeting. Staff is requesting approval of the Draft FY2025-2028 MPOJC TIP list of projects. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee unanimously recommended approval of the draft TIP list of projects at their May 21st meeting. Upon approval staff will start our 30-day public comment period and submit the draft TIP to our public input organization mailing list, the Iowa Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal Transit Administration. Upon review by these stakeholders, staff will present a final draft of the TIP for Policy Board approval in July. I will be at your May 29th meeting to answer any questions you may have. 5/21/2024 2025 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program MPO 28 / MPOJC Project ID Sponsor STIP ID Project Number Location Work C odes Appr oval Le v e l Letting D ate 2025 2026 2027 2028 To tals Earmark 52836 Iowa City EDP-3715()--7Y-52 In the c ity of Iowa City, New trans it maintenanc e/bus s tor age fac ility.

On January 12, 1982 the governor of Iowa designated the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Iowa City Urbanized Area. The Urbanized Area Policy Board is organized to conform with the federal requirements for an MPO. Seven governmental entities have voting representation on the Urbanized Area Policy Board. The Iowa City Community School District is represented by a non-voting member. The following member agencies have voting representatives on the Urbanized Area Policy Board. City of Iowa City: 6 representatives City of Coralville: 2 representatives Johnson County: 2 representatives City of North Liberty: 2 representatives City of Tiffin: 1 representative City of University Heights: 1 representative University of Iowa: 1 representative Total: 15 representatives The number of voting representatives is roughly proportional to population size, but does not allow any one member agency to control a majority of the board. The MPO consists of a part-time Director who oversees four full-time transportation planners. Augmenting the staff are two to three planning interns. Additional staff is shared with the City of Iowa City in the areas of administrative assistance, accounting, and legal services. In addition to the Urbanized Area Policy Board, the MPO has established the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee. This Committee is comprised of area transportation professionals and representatives of state and federal departments of transportation. The Transportation Technical Advisory Committee functions to aid MPO staff in identifying/addressing transportation issues and makes recommendations to the Urbanized Area Policy Board. The Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee has been established to assist with discussion of pedestrian and bicycle-related issues and provides recommendations to the Urbanized Area Policy Board. Additional ad hoc committees are formed as-needed. 2 Long-Range Planning Area The following map shows the MPO long-range transportation planning boundary. This boundary was amended by the Urbanized Area Policy Board in 2012. This area includes the census- designated Iowa City Urbanized Area as well as the adopted long-range growth areas for each city. Transportation Planning Boundary for the Iowa City Urbanized Area 3 Development of FY2025 MPOJC Transportation Planning Work Program The Transportation Planning Work Program is developed each year in a coordinated effort involving the MPOJC Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee, the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, and the Urbanized Area Policy Board. A draft work program is assembled by MPOJC staff which includes special requested projects; ongoing and routinely occurring projects; projects required by the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Iowa Department of Transportation; and carry-over projects from the preceding fiscal year. A process is conducted in January and February of each year whereby all members of the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (including a representative from the Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee) are asked for projects for the following year’s transportation planning work program – each requested project is included in the appropriate section of this document starting on Page 10 and a list of all projects requested is on Page 26. It has been the policy of the MPO to have transportation planning projects sponsored by one of the entities that belong to the MPO. The projects requested by the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee and specific work program items requested by Iowa DOT are forwarded to MPOJC public participation organizations as part of the Work Program development and notification process. Notice of the development of the Work Program is also posted on the MPOJC website. The draft Work Program is then forwarded to the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Iowa Department of Transportation for review. Following the receipt of comments, the final MPOJC Transportation Planning Work Program is prepared. This document is then submitted to the MPOJC Urbanized Area Policy Board for final approval. 4 Planning Priorities of FY2025 MPOJC Transportation Planning Work Program In general, the Work Program is oriented toward projects which 1) carry out the projects and procedures required due to the agency’s designation as a Metropolitan Planning Organization; 2) continue to address transportation needs and issues due to MPOJC being part of a growing and dynamic community; and 3) maintain and improve the community’s multi-modal transportation network. A significant number of work program projects are related to the community’s growing population and changing traffic patterns, and to our continued emphasis on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit modes. The work program elements (large and small) provide support to satisfy these efforts. Long-range planning projects (such as a comprehensive plan review or corridor planning) ensure each community’s needs with respect to balancing future growth and transportation goals will be achieved; short-range projects (such as transit or bike route planning) ensure that our system is truly multi-modal and addresses transportation needs/choice for all our residents; and traffic engineering projects (such as traffic signal or roundabout analyses) provide solid, data-driven, recommendations for how to make our transportation system function seamlessly and efficiently. As noted, a priority for much of the urbanized area includes providing a solid transportation network for a rapidly growing population – the Iowa City metro area has grown by 16% just in the last decade (2010-2019 ACS). This population growth places demands on existing transportation infrastructure and generates demands for new and expanded transportation facilities, as indicated by many of this year’s work program projects. Ensuring these demands are met with limited and uncertain transportation funding available to our region will be one of the biggest challenges the urbanized area faces in the coming years. Another priority is the construction of new schools and numerous school expansion projects in the urbanized area. The MPO has and will continue to provide traffic forecasts and conduct site plan reviews for these projects and make recommendations for necessary transportation infrastructure. The Iowa Department of Transportation is also currently constructing several very large capital infrastructure projects in the urbanized area – including the reconstruction of the Interstate 80/380 and Interstate 80/1st Avenue interchanges. MPOJC will continue to provide staff support and programing for these types of projects necessary to satisfy Federal Highway Administration requirements. Staff will also continue to work with the Iowa DOT, the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG), and local partners to reduce congestion on Interstate 380 by providing and planning for transportation choice within the corridor. 5 Revisions to the Transportation Planning Work Program Overview 2 CFR 200 describes the uniform administrative rules for Federal grants and cooperative agreements and sub-awards to State, local, and Indian tribal governments. These requirements apply to metropolitan planning (PL) and State Planning and Research (SPR) grants. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has similar requirements documented in FTA Circular 5010.1C, which apply to FTA metropolitan planning grants. The State of Iowa uses a Consolidated Planning Grant where Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FTA planning funds are combined into a single fund managed through FTA’s TrAMS system. The uses of these funds are documented in the work programs of the Iowa DOT, MPOs, and RPAs. Waiver of Approvals All work program changes require prior written Federal approval, unless waived by the awarding agency. 2 CFR 200.308 outlines different types of revisions for budget and program plans, and the following summarizes revisions that require prior Federal approval, as well as other miscellaneous actions and allowable costs that require prior Federal approval. More information can be found on the FHWA website (www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/priorapprovals.cfm). Types of Work Program revisions that require Federal approval include, but are not limited to, the following: • Request for additional Federal funding. • Transfers of funds between categories, projects, functions, or activities which exceed 10% of the total work program budget when the Federal share of the budget exceeds $150,000. • Revision of the scope or objectives of activities. • Transferring substantive programmatic work to a third party (consultant). • Capital expenditures, including the purchasing of equipment. • Transfer of funds allotted for training allowances. Types of revisions that require Iowa DOT approval include: • Transfers of funds between categories, projects, functions, or activities which do not exceed 10% of the total work program budget, or when the Federal share of the budget is less than $150,000. Types of revisions that require MPO/RPA approval include: • Revisions related to work that does not involve federal funding. Revision and Approval Procedures • All revision requests from MPOs and RPAs should be submitted electronically to the Iowa DOT Office of Systems Planning. Four hard copies of the revision shall also be sent to Systems Planning, which will be forwarded to the DOT District, FHWA, and FTA for review and any necessary approvals. o Revision requests shall, at a minimum, include: ▪ A resolution or meeting minutes showing the revision’s approval. ▪ Budget summary table with changes highlighted/noted. ▪ Modified section(s) of the plan’s work elements with changes highlighted/noted. 6 • Revisions where FHWA/FTA is the designated approving agency shall require written approval by FHWA/FTA prior to commencement of activity, purchasing of equipment, or request for reimbursement. • Revisions where the Iowa DOT Office of Systems Planning is the designated approving agency shall require written approval by the Iowa DOT Office of Systems Planning prior to commencement of activity or request for reimbursement. • Revisions where the MPO or RPA is the approving agency shall be approved by the Policy Board. • Notification by the approving agency will be in writing. NOTE: All necessary Work Program approvals shall be in place prior to the commencement of activity, purchasing of equipment, or request for reimbursement.

As part of this final rule, 23 CFR 450.314 (h) was amended to state: (h)(1) The MPO(s), State(s), and the providers of public transportation shall jointly agree upon and develop specific written provisions for cooperatively developing and sharing informat ion related to transportation performance data, the selection of performance targets, the reporting of performance targets, the reporting of performance to be used in tracking progress toward attainment of critical outcomes for the region of the MPO (see §450.306(d)), and the collection of data for the State asset management plan for the NHS for each of the following circumstances: (i) When one MPO serves an urbanized area; (ii) When more than one MPO serves an urbanized area; and (iii) When an urbanized area that has been designated as a TMA overlaps into an adjacent MPA serving an urbanized area that is not a TMA. (2) These provisions shall be documented either: (i) As part of the metropolitan planning agreements required under paragraphs (a), (e), and (g) of this section; or (ii) Documented in some other means outside of the metropolitan planning agreements as determined cooperatively by the MPO(s), State(s), and providers of public transportation. In 2017, the following three-pronged approach was cooperatively developed to address 23 CFR 450.314 (h). This approach provides a regular opportunity to review and update coordination methods as performance management activities occur, which offers an adaptable framework as performance-based planning and programming evolves. • Agreement between the Iowa DOT and MPOs on applicable provisions through documentation included in each MPO’s TPWP. • Agreement between the Iowa DOT and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in each public transit agency’s consolidated funding application. • Agreement between each MPO and relevant public transit agencies on applicable provisions through documentation included in the appropriate cooperative agreement(s) between the MPO and relevant public transit agencies. Inclusion of the following language in an MPO’s TPWP, and that TPWP’s subsequent approval by Iowa DOT, constitutes agreement on these items. The Iowa DOT and the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County agree to the following provisions. The communication outlined in these provisions between the MPO and Iowa DOT will generally be through the statewide planning coordinator in the Office of Systems Planning. 1) Transportation performance data a. The Iowa DOT will provide MPOs with the statewide performance data used in developing statewide targets, and, when applicable, will also provide MPOs with subsets of the statewide data, based on their planning area boundaries. b. If MPOs choose to develop their own target for any measure, they will provide the Iowa DOT with any supplemental data they utilize in the target-setting process. 26 2) Selection of performance targets a. The Iowa DOT will develop draft statewide performance targets for FHWA measures in coordination with MPOs. Coordination may include in-person meetings, web meetings, conference calls, and/or email communication. MPOs shall be given an opportunity to provide comments on statewide targets and methodology before final statewide targets are adopted. b. If an MPO chooses to adopt their own target for any measure, they will develop draft MPO performance targets in coordination with the Iowa DOT. Coordination methods will be at the discretion of the MPO, but the Iowa DOT shall be provided an opportunity to provide comments on draft MPO performance targets and methodology prior to final approval. 3) Reporting of performance targets a. Iowa DOT performance targets will be reported to FHWA and FTA, as applicable. MPOs will be notified when Iowa DOT has reported final statewide targets. b. MPO performance targets will be reported to the Iowa DOT. i. For each target, the MPO will provide the following information no later than 180 days after the date the Iowa DOT or relevant provider of public transportation establishes performance targets, or the date specified by federal code. 1. A determination of whether the MPO is 1) agreeing to plan and program projects so that they contribute toward the accomplishment of the Iowa DOT or relevant provider of public transportation performance target, or 2) setting a quantifiable target for that performance measure for the MPO’s planning area. 2. If a quantifiable target is set for the MPO planning area, the MPO will provide any supplemental data used in determining any such target. 3. Documentation of the MPO’s target or support of the statewide or relevant public transportation provider target will be provided in the form of a resolution or meeting minutes. c. The Iowa DOT will include information outlined in 23 CFR 450.216 (f) in any statewide transportation plan amended or adopted after May 27, 2018, and information outlined in 23 CFR 450.218 (q) in any statewide transportation improvement program amended or adopted after May 27, 2018. d. MPOs will include information outlined in 23 CFR 450.324 (f) (3-4) in any metropolitan transportation plan amended or adopted after May 27, 2018, and information outlined in 23 CFR 450.326 (d) in any transportation improvement program amended or adopted after May 27, 2018. e. Reporting of targets and performance by the Iowa DOT and MPOs shall conform to 23 CFR 490, 49 CFR 625, and 49 CFR 673. 4) Reporting of performance to be used in tracking progress toward attainment of critical outcomes for the region of the MPO a. The Iowa DOT will provide MPOs with the statewide performance data used in developing statewide targets, and, when applicable, will also provide MPOs with subsets of the statewide data, based on their planning area boundaries. 5) The collection of data for the State asset management plans for the NHS a. The Iowa DOT will be responsible for collecting bridge and pavement condition data for the State asset management plan for the NHS. 27 Requested FY25 Work Program Projects The following is a summary of projects requested by MPO member entities for the FY25 Work Program.
