2019 FTIP 

Adopted - September 27, 2018
 
 

BCAG is required to prepare a Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) every two years.  The BCAG Board is scheduled to adopt the new 2019 FTIP at the August 23, 2018 Board meeting.

The purpose of the FTIP is to identify all transportation-related projects that require federal funding or other approval by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).  The 2019 FTIP will cover the next four fiscal years (FFY 18/19, 19/20, 20/21 and 21/22). The FTIP also identifies all non-federal, regionally significant projects for information and air quality emissions modeling purposes.  The FTIP indicates the area's short-term plan for use of federal dollars and other resources for the maintenance, operation, and improvement of the transportation system and the achievement of federal air quality standards over the next four federal fiscal years. 

Projects in the 2018/19 fiscal year and beyond will likely carry forward into the 2019 FTIP as well as the projects recently adopted in the 2018 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).  The typical funding programs associated with the FTIP include the STIP, State Highways Operations and Protection Program (Caltrans SHOPP), Highway Bridge Program (Local Bridge Program), Federal Transit Administration Programs (Transit), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) and Active Transportation Program (ATP).

A draft 2019 FTIP document including an Air Quality Conformity Analysis and Determination will be prepared and posted online once completed.

If you or your agency/affiliation is interested in being kept informed and participate in the development of the FTIP or any other planning and programming of projects by BCAG, please contact Mr. Ivan Garcia at BCAG directly at igarcia@bcag.org. You can also call for any questions at 530-809-4616. 
 
 
NOTICE OF PUBLIC WORKSHOP - Prior to the development of the new 2019 FTIP, BCAG has scheduled a public workshop to solicit any public input and address any questions. Posted June 1, 2018.

Performance Measures for the 2017 FTIPTop of Page

PUBLIC NOTICE - MAY 21, 2018:  Performance Measures Language for 2017 FTIP Amendments

The 2012 federal transportation authorization legislation, ‘Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century’ (MAP-21) established new requirements for performance management and reporting to ensure the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. To incorporate the new federal performance requirements into the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), BCAG is required to show (1) that the FTIP “makes progress towards achieving [the region’s] performance targets” and (2) that the FTIP includes, “to the maximum extent practicable, a description of the anticipated effect of the FTIP towards achieving the performance targets.” 

The projects contained within Amendment No. 9 have been developed in accordance with the applicable provisions and requirements of 23 CFR Part 450 and are expected to support the achievement of these targets.   These targets will be achieved through the implementation of investment priorities through the programming of transportation projects in the 2017 FTIP, this FTIP Amendment, and subsequent FTIP Amendments and Administrative Modifications.

The State Route 70 Projects contained in Amendment 9 are funded with SHOPP Safety funds and STIP funds to address the fatalities along the corridor.  Performance Measure 1 - "Safety" is being met by a reduction in fatalities as a result of the projects.

Amendment #05 - Formal
City of Chico Bruce Road Bridge Replacement Project - Project location is in Chico 0.5 miles south of Humboldt Road on Bruce Road over Little Chico Creek. Project includes replacement of an existing 2-lane functionally obsolete bridge with a new 4-lane bridge including reconstruction of bridge approaches. New bridge incorporates a class I bicycle facility.  The proposed amendment programs $225,000 in local funds in the 2016/17 fiscal year for the preliminary engineering component only. It is anticipated the project will be awarded $5.4 million in federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds at a later time.  This amendment programs the project into the 2017 FTIP.  The financial information for the project will be updated in the 2016 RTP/SCS. This project is being programmed for the Preliminary Engineering component.

The project is not exempt from regional air quality conformity.  However, the project will rely on a previous regional emissions analysis since the design concept and scope of the project has been adequately included in the 2016 RTP/SCS to determine the projects contribution to the 2017 FTIPs regional emissions at the time of the previous conformity determination.  BCAG’s previous regional emissions analysis and air quality conformity determination for the 2016 RTP/SCS was approved by FHWA/FTA on March 21, 2017 and included the widening of Bruce Road from 2 to 4 lanes (Skyway to State Route 32 in Chico) for the 2018 analysis year.  The new bridge replacement project is within the scope of the Bruce Road widening.

FTA Section 5310 Enhancement Program Grouped Listing – Non-Infrastructure ,Various Agencies -  The California Transportation Commission is scheduled to approve the following projects identified for the 2016/17 FTA Section 5310 Program at their June 29, 2017 meeting. Projects are awarded through a competitive grant program for Small Urban and Rural projects.  In sum, the BCAG region is expected to receive $1,060,643 in federal funds. This project category is already included in the 2017 FTIP, however, the recent grant awards require the FTIP be amended.  The specific list of projects is recommended incorporation into the FTIP and the RTP/SCS. 

The FTA Section 5310 projects are exempt from a regional emissions analysis per EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule Section 93.126 Table 2 “Mass Transit” and “Other” indicating that purchase of new vehicles and other activities that do not lead directly to construction are exempt.

Amendment #02 - Administrative Modification. Various Projects:

Pearson Rd SR2S Connectivity Project.  Funding for this project was increased by $500,000 in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program funds (CMAQ).  In addition, the project was split into two without any change to the scope or schedule as originally programmed.  The project was split into two as a result of a scope change approved by the California Transportation Commission for the Active Transportation Program (ATP). In essence, the two projects are now split by fund source, ATP and CMAQ as separate projects.

Local Highway Bridge Program (HBP) -  Grouped Listing. This project was modified for the purpose of updating HBP Grouped listing per HQ to the list dated 10/26/2016. The 4 year FTIP period financial change was from $20,410,000 to $20,460,356.  In addition, the HBP list changed from 7 local projects to 10 as specified in the CTIPS data printouts.

Butte County Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) -  Grouped Listing. This project was modified for the purpose of updating HSIP Grouped listing per HQ to the list dated 11/29/2016. The 4 year FTIP period financial change was from $4,576,500 to $7,289,050.  In addition, the HBP list changed from 11 local projects to 08 as specified in the CTIPS data printouts.

Central House Rd Over Wymann Ravine Bridge Project. This project was modified for the purpose of updating the financial data programmed. Right of Way funds in the amount of $65,000 were moved from the 17/18 fiscal year to the 19/20 fiscal year. Other financial adjustments outside the 4-year FTIP period were also made.
 
Amendment #01 - Formal.  Guynn Rd over Lindo Channel Bridge Project (Existing Project).  Bridge No 12C0066, just north of W Lindo Ave. The scope of the project is to replace the existing 1 lane structurally deficient bridge with a new 2 lane bridge. The project is an existing project already identified in the FTIP and has previously been reviewed with the BCAG Transportation Advisory Committee. However, because the project funding has changed from $3.2 million to $5.3 million, the project requires a FTIP Amendment approval by the BCAG Board. This project is 100% federally funded by the Highway Bridge Program (HBP). This amendment does not reflect a change in the design concept and scope of the project or the conformity analysis years as assumed for the regional emissions analysis of the currently conforming RTP and TIP.  This amendment, meets all applicable transportation planning requirements per 23 CFR Part 450 (financial constraint, public involvement and consistency with the RTP).

2017 FTIP DEVELOPMENT (May through August 2016)Top of Page

BCAG is required to prepare a Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) every two years.  The BCAG Board is scheduled to adopt the new 2017 FTIP at the August 25, 2016 Board meeting.

The purpose of the FTIP is to identify all transportation-related projects that require federal funding or other approval by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The 2017 FTIP will cover the next four fiscal years (FFY 16/17, 17/18, 18/19 and 19/20). The FTIP also identifies all non-federal, regionally significant projects for information and air quality emissions modeling purposes.    The FTIP indicates the area's short-term plan for use of federal dollars and other resources for the maintenance, operation, and improvement of the transportation system and the achievement of federal air quality standards over the next four federal fiscal years. 

Projects in the 2016/17 fiscal year and beyond will likely carry forward into the 2017 FTIP as well as the projects recently adopted in the 2016 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).  The typical funding programs associated with the FTIP include the STIP, State Highways Operations and Protection Program (Caltrans SHOPP), Highway Bridge Program (Local Bridge Program), Federal Transit Administration Programs (Transit), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) and Active Transportation Program (ATP).

A draft 2017 FTIP document including an Air Quality Conformity Analysis and Determination was presented at the July BCAG Transportation Advisory Committee and posted online as well.  All matters concerning the development of the FTIP will be posted at this web page. 

If you or your agency/affiliation is interested in being kept informed and participate in the development of the FTIP or any other planning and programming of projects by BCAG, please contact Mr. Ivan Garica at BCAG directly at igarcia@bcag.org. You can also call for any questions at 530-809-4616.
