Supporting Projects:
Safety is a significant factor in the federal design standards for all road improvements. All of our road projects are expected to improve safety and support the Safety targets. The intersection improvement projects, including roundabouts, should help support Travel Time Reliability targets and Emissions Reduction targets. The project involving trails or sidewalks should help support Emissions Reduction targets and the Non-Motorist Safety target. The County’s bridge projects also include safety within their designs and should support the Safety targets.
INDOT has initiatives in place that enable them to invest available funding effectively to achieve their performance goals. The Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) provides detailed information on those initiatives, associated methods for prioritizing projects, agency goals, objectives and investment strategies, and resulting bridge and pavement conditions based on 10-year spending plans. INDOT also has a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) that sets priorities for the primary safety focused programs and guides the DOTs, MPOs, and other safety partners in addressing safety across the state. The INDOT freight plan and long range transportation plan are also used to inform the TAMP. The Planning Roles, Responsibilities, & Cooperative Operation Manual clarifies roles and responsibilities for transportation planning activities including the performance based planning processes.
For projects using Federal funding, such as National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), National Highway Freight Program (NHFP), and Surface Transportation Block Grant( STBG) funds (excluding urbanized area dedicated funds), along with State Construction funds, INDOT’s Divisions of Planning and Statewide Technical Services uses a data-driven process, including performance-based business rules to help prioritize projects for inclusion in the recommended Five-Year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). This process evaluates projects based on investment strategies and project prioritizations as outlined in the Indiana Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP - April 2018) and results in the elevation of projects that will contribute toward the achievement of INDOT’s targets for bridge condition, pavement condition, traffic congestion, travel time reliability for both passenger vehicles and highway freight, and safety. The resulting program of projects is approved by the Program Management Group (PMG) and the executive office for inclusion in the Indiana STIP and the MPO’s TIP. Projects specifically designed to make progress toward INDOT's bridge and pavement condition targets are identified by the Pavement and Bridge Asset Management Teams and support the 10-year goals as described in INDOT’s TAMP. Projects funded through HSIP are selected by the Safety Asset Management Team to make progress toward INDOT’s safety improvement targets, as described in INDOT’s SHSP; projects selected to make progress toward meeting INDOT’s congestion and travel time reliability targets are selected by the Mobility Asset Management Team; and projects funded through the CMAQ program are selected by the Mobility Asset Management Team to make progress toward meeting INDOT’s emission reduction targets. INDOT coordinates the performance targets with the MPOs through monthly meetings with the MPO Council and other ad-hoc meetings.
Transit
The Muncie Indiana Transit System (MITS), the only urban transit operator in MPO’s Planning Area, has established targets for various performance measures to track service conditions. The targets for required performance measures include:
