Unfortunately, all Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) funds for the Urbanized Area of Lawrence County, Ohio have been committed through FY 2023.  Therefore,  KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission will not be accepting new applications.  Please contact the KYOVA office at 304.523.7434 for more information and to answer any questions you may have.

PERFORMANCE TARGETS

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), signed into law in 2012, and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), signed into law in 2015, placed an increased emphasis on performance management within the Federal-aid highway and transit programs.  Therefore, highway/roadway projects require all state department of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations use a performance based planning and programming approach for transportation decision-making.  Seven (7) national goals were established for the Federal-Aid highway program (23 USC 150(b)).  These goals are 1) Safety; 2) Infrastructure Condition; 3) Congestion Reduction; 4) System Reliability; 5) Freight Movement and Economic Vitality; 6) Environmental Sustainability; and 7) Reduced Project Delivery Delays.   For transit projects, performance measures assess the condition in which a capital asset can operate at a full level of performance.  A capital asset is in a state of good repair (SGR) when that asset can, 1) perform its designated functions; 2) does not pose a known unacceptable safety risk; and 3) its life cycle investments must have been met or recovered (MAP-21 Section 625.41).  Transit Asset Management final rule requires Tier II provder targets to be set for four (4) performance measures:  1) Rolling Stock - the % of revenue vehicles that exceed the Useful Life Benchmark (ULB); 2) Equipment - % of non-revenue service vehicles that exceed the ULB; 3) Facilities - % of facilities that are rated less than 3.0 on the Transit Economic Requrement Model (TERM) Scale; 4) Infrastructure - % of track segments that have performance restrictions (N/A for KYOVA). States and MPOs are required to establish performance targets in support of these national goals and measures. Additionally, MPOs are required to establish targets and provide reports detailing progress toward those targets through planned and programmed projects. The following set of questions relate to the Performance Measures to ensure projects funded through the STBG Program support and enhance both the highway and transit targets and measures.

Nataional Highway System (NHS)

The following two (2) questions reference the National Highway System.  The NHS consists of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility, and was developed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in cooperation with the sates, local officials, and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs).  The NHS includes the following:  Interstates; Other Principal Arterials; Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET); Major Strategic HIghway Network Connectors; and Intermodal Connectors.  To determine if your project is located on a NHS route within the KYOVA Planning Area click here.  If you have any questions or are unsure of your project NHS status please contact the KYOVA Office.
