12. METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FY 2014 – 2017
Purpose
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century (MAP‐21), the current transportation legislation,
was signed into law on July 6, 2012. This latest legislation maintains requirement for a fiscally
constrained program of projects based on the incorporation of national goals. As summarized in
the online FHWA MAP‐21 Performance Management Fact Sheet
1
, “a key feature of MAP‐21 is
the establishment of a performance‐ and outcome‐based program”. The “objective of the
program is to invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward the
achievement of the national goals”
2
.
As a condition to receiving federal project funds, the Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) must list all highway and public transit transportation projects proposed for funding under
Title 23 (highways) and Title 49 (transit) of the US Code. The TIP must include any Federal
Lands projects. Currently there are no such projects in the TIP but if any Federal Lands projects
are amended into the TIP, they will be developed in accordance to 23 USC 204. The TIP also
must contain all federal, state and locally funded regionally significant transportation projects
regardless of funding source. Regional significance for each project in shown in the list included
in the accompanying the Air Quality Conformity document. The TIP includes state and local
roadway, bridge, bicycle, pedestrian, safety and public transportation (transit) projects. Project
related activities, both capital and non‐capital in nature, such as planning studies, PE
(Preliminary Engineering, NEPA and design), ROW (Right‐of‐Way) and CONST (Construction) are
eligible for on and off‐roadway systems and capital and operating expenses for public transit.
The 2014‐2017 TIP follows the eight federal planning factors laid out in the latest transportation
authorization bill, MAP‐21 described above. This bill states that projects and strategies should:
1) support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global
competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency;
2) increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized
users;
3) increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and nonmotorized
users;
4) increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight;
5) protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the
quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and
State and local planned growth and economic development patterns;
6) enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and
between modes, for people and freight;
7) promote efficient system management and operation

13. 8) emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system.
The TIP covers a four‐year period and is based on funds which are reasonably expected to be
available for project implementation. The document provides a reasonable opportunity for all
citizens and interested parties to review and comment concerning the development of the TIP
and the intent to fund specific projects.
Development Process
The Chattanooga‐Hamilton County/North Georgia Transportation Planning Organization (TPO),
a federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is responsible for the
development of both the Tennessee and Georgia portions of the TIP which are then
incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program(s) (STIP). See figure 1 below
for a map of the TPO planning area. The TIP is developed by the TPO through a comprehensive,
continuing and cooperative effort with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal
Transit Administration (FTA), Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), Georgia
Department of Transportation (GDOT), the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission (NWGRC),
local transit operators, the public and other interested parties to implement projects,
strategies, and services that address the current Federally legislated planning factors3
. A new
TIP is developed at least every four years and updates are made to the TIP/STIP annually and as
necessary through Amendments and Adjustments/Modifications further outlined in the
Amendment Process section of this document.

These planning factors may be found on the Federal Highway Administration’s website at
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/transprog/map21/FACT%20SHEETS/Program%20Restructuring/MAP21

14. Figure 1: TPO Planning Area
The TIP is based on transportation needs identified through the TPO transportation planning
process including, but not limited to, the adopted long‐range, regional Transportation Plan, TPO
adopted plans/studies such as the ITS Regional Architecture, Regional Freight Profile, and the
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The TIP must incorporate local as well as state planned
14

15. projects within their boundaries that may utilize federal funds as well as including 100% locally
funded projects determined to be regionally significant through the Interagency‐Consultation
Committee on Air Quality which is further discussed in the accompanying Air Quality
Conformity document. The metropolitan TIPs are included in the STIP by reference without
modification once approved by the TPO and Governor, or his designee, and after needed air
conformity findings are made. The expected date for this approval is on or before November
30, 2013. Beforehand, federal regulations require that the TIP be made reasonably available for
public review and comment.
Public Involvement
In accordance with the TPO’s approved Participation Plan (PP), the public is given opportunities
to review and comment on the proposed program of projects throughout the TIP development
process. The TPO’s PP, outlines the methods and process for the TPO to gather public input for
all of its planning activities. The PP details outreach efforts to ensure opportunity for citizens
and stakeholders in the region to comment on various TPO activities including the development
of the Transportation Improvement Program. Federal regulations require MPO’s to provide for
a reasonable opportunity for public comment in accordance with the metropolitan
transportation planning process requirements and a public meeting in Transportation
Management Areas (TMAs). The regulations also require the publication of the proposed TIP in
hardcopy format and/or other methods, to make it readily available for review and comment.
Consultation and coordination with area stakeholders happens throughout the process and
during TPO Technical Committee and Board meetings, through emails, and when necessary
letters by postal mail when agreed upon by various stakeholders.
For the development of this Chattanooga‐Hamilton County/North Georgia TIP the following
public involvement methods were used:
1. MPO Board and Committee meetings which are open to the public and comments are
accepted as part of the hearing;
2. Publication of public hearings and meetings notices in the regional Times Free Press
newspaper and four smaller community papers: two in the north Georgia area, a
minority paper in Chattanooga, and the Spanish version of the Times Free Press
(advertisement is provided 14 days in advance of these meetings);
3. Publication of the draft and final documents are made available to public in hardcopy
format at the Regional Planning Agency and other governmental offices, upon request,
and via the TPO website at http://www.chcrpa.org/TPO.htm;
4. Comments by mail are sent to: the Chattanooga‐Hamilton County Regional Planning
Agency, 1250 Market Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 37402; by telephone at 423‐757‐
5216; by fax at 423‐757‐5532; and by email at TPO@chattanooga.gov;
5. For TIP amendments, public involvement procedures consistent with the metropolitan
transportation planning process PP requirements are utilized (the PP is available at the
Regional Planning Agency office upon request, or via the TPO website);
6. For the development of the 2014‐2017 TIP, notice of the upcoming TIP development
process were provided at the last meetings of the TCC and Board for calendar year 2012.
The actual process began in January 2013, additionally when the TPO provided official
15

16. notice of the “call for projects”, and notices for sequent TPO TCC and Board meetings
held in March, April, and May 2013 to review draft lists as well as take final action of
approval on the fiscally constrained list.
During the month of March, the projects submitted during the Call for Projects between
February and March were evaluated and scored using the adopted Community to Region
Performance Framework and performance measures detailed in Appendix B. The scores were
provided to a selection committee for eligible TAP projects. The same was done for projects
eligible for STP‐M funding including the TAP projects given there were fewer funds available for
programming under TAP. The two TIP Selection Subcommittees met the week of April 8, 2013.
Each committee reviewed the project evaluation scores and prioritized a list for
recommendation to the TPO Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC). This list was fiscally
constrained by the TPO staff based on the priorities of both committees and available funds
within each federal program. The TCC reviewed the selection committees’ priorities and the
fiscal constraint in their recommendation for the TPO Executive Board. A public meeting was
held in the Development Resource Center located at 1250 Market Street in Chattanooga on
May 9, 2013 to review and comment on the TCC’s recommendation and to review draft state
and transit authority project lists. Comments from this meeting are included in Appendix C of
this document. The Board took final action on the allocation for local projects on May 28, 2013.
Following Board action on the local project programming, the TPO staff finalizes development
of the draft document for review and comment by TDOT and GDOT. This review occurred
between June 11, 2013 and July 24, 2013. At this same time the draft document is shared with
the TCC and Board membership. Following the addressing of all State comments, staff consults
with resource agencies involved in environmental protection, natural resource management,
land use management, historic preservation, etc. as well as stakeholders with interests in
economic development, freight, and multimodal facilities during the development of the TIP
process. This consultation occurred between August 14, 2013 and September 27, 2013. Upon
satisfying DOT partner comments, the TPO presented the draft document to the TCC for
approval for public comment and recommendation for approval from the Board. The TPO holds
at least one public meeting in the evening hours for the draft TIP document which includes
notice of the public transit Program of Projects and when possible holds meetings in multiple
locations. This meeting occurred on September 5, 2013 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in the
Development Resource Center, located at 1250 Market Street in Chattanooga. Any public
comments received at the meeting or submitted to the TPO through email, fax, or phone calls
can be found in Appendix C. Any comments received from the public and/or resource agencies
are also included in Appendix C of this document.
The TIP will be made available to every county and municipality throughout the TPO’s
Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). A list of attendees from each public hearing is on file at the
offices of the Regional Planning Agency. Care has been taken to ensure that requirements of
MAP‐21 were met in the development of this TIP.
The TCC and Board proceedings are open to the public and comments may be received. Upon
adoption by the TPO Executive Board, the TIP is submitted to FHWA and FTA for approval.

17. Revenue Development
Federal funding for local, TPO selected projects in the TIP is provided through the metropolitan
Surface Transportation Program (STP‐M) and Transportation Alternative Program (TAP)
allocations. This amount varies from year to year; therefore estimates are made for the
availability of funds for years FY 2014– FY 2017 in the TIP. In an effort to present reasonable
estimates of available funding for future year projects, the TPO has elected to use the amount
allocated under MAP‐21 to the TPO in FY 2013 as the base amount for future year projections.
The FY 2013 allocations for the TN and GA portions are shown in Table 1. These revenues were
then grown by 3% for TN and 1% for GA from one year to the next for each year 2014, 2015,
2016, and 2017 as shown in Table 2. After the required 20% local match, the total available
revenue was calculated and provided in Table 3.

18. Revenues for state managed projects are provided by TDOT and GDOT and are equal to the
programmed expenditures. Revenues for transit agency managed projects are provided by the
Chattanooga Regional Transportation Authority and are also equal to the programmed
expenditures. The revenues for these follow the agency’s approved inflation rates which differ
by agency, but are typically between one and three percent.
Revenue Sources
In addition to the metropolitan allocations outlined above, there are other funds and funding
programs used to fund projects in the TPO and these are outlined in the Funding Programs
section. Some programs expend funds in a variety of different ways due to flexibility given to
the states. One example is the Tennessee Department of Transportation grants program which
offers statewide competitions for funding programs such as the Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) as well as others
depending on current legislated priorities. The Georgia Department of Transportation works
directly with its local jurisdictions to establish their project priorities and process their grant
applications for funding. Project grant awards for both states are announced by the state DOT’s
and are included in the TIP.
TDOT’s Multimodal Transportation Resources Division provides financial assistance for the
operation of the public transit systems serving Hamilton County. The services provided by
Hamilton County’s transit systems vary depending on the specific needs of the community and
include fixed route bus, demand response minivan or van. The Multimodal Transportation
Resources Division also provides capital assistance to public and private non‐profit
organizations that provide transportation services to the elderly and people with disabilities. In
addition, the Multimodal Transportation Resources Division administers a ridesharing and
vanpooling program and offers various technical assistance training classes in such areas as lift
maintenance, leadership development, passenger assistance techniques, and alcohol and drug
testing regulations.
The Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) provides public
transportation services in the urbanized area of Chattanooga. In addition, there are a number
of agencies and organizations that provide specialized transportation services to the elderly and
disabled.
Funding Programs

State Funding
Although states receive federal funding, they also have other revenue sources that fund
transportation projects. These revenue sources are identified for each state below. In addition,
it should be noted that state funds are also used to cover the required match for federal funds.
• State Industrial Access (SIA) Program – For cities whose population was 5,000 or greater as
of the 2000 census, these funds can be used for any type of highway construction. They can
also be used for ridesharing, vanpooling, intelligent transportation systems, and incident
management, and any activity also eligible for transportation enhancement funding. These
funds will only be shown in the TIP when a project has been identified as Regionally
Significant. Regional Significance is further defined by the TPO through a policy of the
Interagency Consultation Process. The policy is available upon request at the TPO‐RPA
offices.
21

22. • States of Georgia and Tennessee Gasoline and Motor Fuels Tax – Funding for a wide
variety of transportation projects across the entire state, including major construction
projects and maintenance type activities such as resurfacing and signalization upgrades.
Local Funding
Most of the TPO’s municipal and county governments use their General Fund comprised of
local taxes to conduct routine operations and maintenance of their transportation systems in
addition to state aid from gasoline/fuel taxes. However, these jurisdictions also fully fund
major construction projects, sidewalks, greenways, and bicycle facilities as well as required
local matches to state or federal funding programs. Bonds also may be used to fund these
capital transportation projects. The North Georgia counties of the TPO also take advantage of
the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for funding capital and maintenance
projects.
Other Funding Sources
Other funding sources may exist in the TPO area for funding transportation improvements.
These sources may include local private foundations, state enabling legislation opportunities
such as toll facilities, dedicated funding for transit, rail authorities, Tax Increment Financing
(TIF), Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and local taxes or bonds.
Currently, very little of these contribute to the TPO’s program of projects except for the
foundations’ support of greenways, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities within the City of
Chattanooga. Foundations provide an estimated $1.5 million annually for such projects. It is
expected that these unique revenue sources may provide a higher percentage of the TPO’s
revenue for transportation projects in the near future.
Project Prioritization
The performance measures and goals, as legislated in MAP‐21, are to be incorporated into the
metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
4
. Details associated with the
performance measures being implemented by the TPO are provided in Appendix B: Project
Application, Evaluation, and Selection Process. It is the responsibility of the Chattanooga‐
Hamilton County/North Georgia Transportation Planning Organization to assure compliance
with such requirements including consistency with the TPO’s adopted Transportation Plan and
ensure citizens are given opportunity to fully engage in the transportation planning process in
Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the North Georgia counties of Catoosa, Dade, and Walker.
The TIP is fiscally balanced and includes project phases that have a reasonable expectation of
being ready for implementation by the year listed. Projects are subject to many considerations
and actions from conception to completion that may impede or accelerate their progress.
These considerations may include policy decisions, changes in design requirements, conflicts
with other scheduled activities, unforeseen circumstances such as cutbacks in funding, shortage
of manpower, and inflation of project costs. When projects are submitted, letters of
commitment to fund the projects are included. Furthermore, the jurisdictions pass resolutions
for local matching funds for projects in the year of expenditure. Funding for projects in the first

23. two years is confirmed to be available and committed. Project cost estimates are based on best
available engineering estimates provided by the local jurisdictions at the time the TIP is
developed. Final cost for the actual projects may differ, as the projects are refined in the
project development process prior to construction. When a project is affected by any of the
factors, the projected fiscal year dates will be adjusted accordingly.
The Chattanooga‐Hamilton County/North Georgia Transportation Planning Organization (TPO)
adopted a resolution on June 2, 1992 setting requirements for the allocation of federal funds.
The TPO will continue to adhere to the following official policy in its consideration of the
distribution of federal and state monies to eligible projects of the TPO’s Metropolitan Planning
Area (MPA). The following factors will govern decisions of the TPO in the allocation of Federal
Surface Transportation Funds for local projects within the MPA:
1) Federal monies available to the TPO during each fiscal year.
2) The fiscal ability of sub‐entities to provide the required twenty (20) percent local match
to federal funds, if required, within the timeframe required
3) Project costs, including Right‐of‐Way, Preliminary Engineering, Design, and Construction
costs.
4) Incorporation or improvement of public transportation services, including special
services for the disabled.
5) Coordination with other public and/or private projects within the TPO MPA (Corridor
Planning).
6) Intermodal opportunities that will facilitate the movement of people and goods without
being hazardous to the environment.
7) Projects that will contribute a high degree of safety, mobility, and service facilities to the
entire TPO MPA.
8) Mileage of eligible streets by functional classification.
9) Population and land use shifts.
10) Traffic capacity.
11) Vehicular accident impacts.
12) Intergovernmental coordination.
Should the expected local matching funds not materialize within the four‐year planning period
of the Transportation Improvement Program, the TPO will have the obligation of reassigning
those funds to a project with documented commitment of the required local match.
23

24. Furthermore, that project will already have been given a high priority ranking by the TPO. In no
case will a formula allocation of federal funds to local projects be permitted. Also, should an
expected project exceed adequate funding within the four‐year period of the Transportation
Improvement Program from some other source to fulfill the development of such project, the
TPO will have the obligation of reassigning those funds to another project.
Business Rules and Policies
For the development of this 2014‐2017 TIP, the TPO conducted a full evaluation of the TIP
development process, reviewed other MPO TIP development procedures, and implemented a
new Project Application and Selection Process. The TPO has a new set of established business
rules which are intended to serve as guiding principles for TPO staff when developing and
maintaining the TIP. These rules are as follows:
• Rule 1. TIP Development Cycle – Prior to the beginning of each major TIP update cycle,
the TPO will detail a schedule of key TIP development milestones that coincide with
TDOT/GDOT STIP schedule requirements and communicate key dates with local project
sponsors prior to the beginning of the Federal fiscal year (October 1). Establishing key
dates at the outset of each update cycle will give project sponsors ample notice for
scheduling purposes and gathering the information required to submit projects for
evaluation. Key TIP development milestones should include dates for the TIP
workshop(s); issuance of the Call for Projects (if applicable for that particular year);
deadline to submit project applications; TIP selection sub‐committee meetings; TPO
Board meetings; and Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) and Interagency
Consultation Committee (IAC) meetings. The TIP schedule should be posted on‐line, as
well as emailed with a hard‐copy attachment to all local jurisdictions. Any expected
deviations from the dates established at the outset of the TIP update cycle should be
communicated to all project sponsors as early as possible, but no later than four weeks
prior to the originally established date.
• Rule 2. TIP Amendment Cycles – TPO staff currently address administrative TIP
modifications and amendments that do not require conformity analysis on an as‐needed
basis. The TPO will continue to process amendments on an as‐needed basis. This
provides flexibility for project sponsors to move projects forward more quickly and helps
the TPO manage staff resources by spreading amendments out over time.
• Rule 3. Project Identification – Projects considered for each TIP cycle are drawn from
the TPO’s adopted long‐range regional transportation plan, as the TIP serves as the first
four (implementation) years of the long‐range planning document. All TIP projects must
be consistent with the long range transportation plan. New projects (i.e., those projects
not currently included in the fiscally constrained portion of the transportation plan)
should be considered for the TIP only when new funds have been identified for a project
that was unable to be fiscally constrained in the transportation plan and the project is
shown in the plan’s illustrative list or when a stand‐alone call for STP‐M or TAP funds is
needed to either 1) program unobligated dollars from a previous fiscal year, or 2)
program new funds for a new year of the TIP. New major capacity additions to the TIP
should be considered as part of a major TIP update cycle only, to align conformity
determinations and ensure consistent regional priorities between the TIP and long‐
24

25. range transportation plan. One, distinct project sponsor should be clearly identified for
each project as part of the TIP application.
• Rule 4. MPO Controlled TIP Funds – For roadway capacity projects funded all, or in
part, by STP‐M or TAP funds, the TPO will request the project sponsor address access
management as a design element and budget for such as part of the Preliminary
Engineering phase. This will provide detail needed by the TPO to work with the project
sponsor and impacted local communities as part of subsequent right‐of‐way (ROW) and
Construction phases to help ensure land use and land development are appropriately
considered as part of project development.
• Rule 5. TIP Project Evaluation – Based on initial testing of revised TIP project evaluation
procedures applied to the 2014‐2017 metropolitan STP and TAP projects, as described in
Appendix B, the TPO staff will develop summary guidance to accompany the TIP
application on how to provide the appropriate level of detail for project scope, cost, and
schedule and how to define the project sponsor. This same information will be used at
each TIP workshop to inform and illustrate for sponsors the required level of detail
when submitting a project for Federal funding. This guidance will also include
information for sponsors on how to formally notify the TPO of any changes to project
scope, schedule, and budget.
• Rule 6. TIP Project Costing – To address potential project cost overruns, the TPO will
consider, before the next TIP cycle, a Local Program Contingency Fund which is
recommended to be five to ten percent for each project (all phases: Preliminary
Engineering, ROW, and Construction) and would be added as an incremental cost to the
original estimate submitted by the local project sponsor. The TPO would hold this
contingency funding in reserve as part of the project’s line item funding. Should the
project cost exceed the original estimate for a given phase, the TPO would utilize the
reserve funding to cover the additional costs (the project sponsor will be responsible for
providing the 20 percent local match). Project cost overruns that exceed the
contingency would then be considered for TPO approval and potential reprogramming
as described in Rule 8.
• Rule 7. Project Programming / Phasing – The TPO will consider, before the next TIP
cycle, adoption of a formal phasing schedule requirement for project sponsors of major
capacity projects to help address scheduling and implementation challenges. The
schedule would identify all relevant phases of the project with specific funding sources
(Federal, state, local) as outlined on the TIP project page, but the sponsor would note
for each phase the activities necessary to move the project to the next programmed
phase. The recommended timeframe expected between programming phases for such
major construction projects is three to four years which is a conservative phasing
schedule for capacity‐adding projects (those associated with air quality conformity).
• Rule 8. Project Reprogramming – To present, all unobligated projects in the existing TIP
have automatically been reprogrammed by TPO staff unless the staff has been informed
otherwise. From this TIP forward, any project that has exceeded 10 percent of the
original cost estimate, any changes to project scope, schedule, or budget that trigger
delays in the excess of a subsequent programmed phase, and/or any programmed
phase not obligated within two years will require the project sponsor to complete an
“Exceptions List” form prior to the commencement of a new TIP development cycle.
This list will then be vetted with the TPO Board and/or Committees to determine if the
25

26. changes/delays are reasonable and project should remain a priority with roll‐over funds
applied, or the project should re‐compete for Federal funds through the established
project selection process. The Exceptions List form will be developed by TPO staff prior
to the next TIP cycle.
Lump Sum Projects, “Groupings”
By mutual agreement between the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), Georgia
Department of Transportation, and the Chattanooga‐Hamilton County/North Georgia
Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) this Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
includes some preventative maintenance often denoted as 3‐R improvements and safety type
projects to be lump sum funded with Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), National
Highway Performance Program (NHPP), and/or Surface Transportation Program (STP). These
lump sums are otherwise known as “Groupings” and each are further described in the
definitions section of this document. The projects and project locations are not specifically
listed in the project tables or project pages. Instead the projects are grouped by category of
improvement such as various resurfacing or bridge replacements. They are minor projects that
do not alter the functional capacity of a facility and do not impact regional air quality emissions.
Minor projects must also be environmentally neutral. Due to the difficulty with project tracking
the TPO staff has elected to eliminate the use of groupings for TPO controlled project funding
and thus, those projects are evaluated and prioritized by the same process as major projects
and have individual project pages. However, the TPO staff encourages project sponsors to
consider their own groupings when developing projects for consideration such as a citywide
resurfacing program which would include a number of various streets within one jurisdiction.
State and Transit Agency Project Submittal Process
As agreed upon by the State partners, the TPO staff in conjunction with TPO Board membership
review a list of State projects, including those on these National Highway System, to provide
feedback and/or prioritization on Transportation Plan priorities/consistency, further phasing
and development of those projects based on local support, growth pressures, congestion‐
and/or safety‐related issues, and other major transportation planning documents such as the
Strategic Highway Safety Plan and the Regional ITS Architecture. The outcome of this review
and/or prioritization is provided to the States for their consideration in developing the projects
for the next TIP cycle. A similar process is conducted with the transit authority and any
partnering public transportation agencies to ensure projects are consistent with the
Transportation Plan goals and objectives as well as outlined safety and security planning and
programming. Following the TPO’s official notice of the development process a new TIP cycle,
the States and transit agencies work with the TPO staff on the development of appropriate
local, state, and federal revenues and provide the TPO with a fiscally‐constrained project list.
This list is shared with the TPO TCC, Board, and public prior to being considered for final
approval of incorporation into the TIP.
26

27. Project Selection Process
1. The TPO staff meets with municipalities to determine status of current projects,
determine need for completion of an Exceptions List form for potential roll‐over
projects, and discusses need for new projects.
2. The local government gathers information to justify the need of the projects.
3. A project sponsor completes the online the project application(s) describing proposed
project(s) for inclusion of the project(s) in the Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP).
4. Preliminary description of the projects, including cost estimates for engineering, right‐
of‐way requirements, materials and labor, and location maps are submitted by the
applicant. Estimates on phasing and length of time for implementation of the project,
including anticipated start and completion dates, are also included.
5. Projects are reviewed for their purpose and assigned a scale category (1, 2, or 3) from
the adopted Community to Region Performance Framework and then evaluated
accordingly based the TPO’s establish weights in each scale for the legislated
performance measures in which the TPO established specific calculation criteria
associated with each measure. This evaluation process also includes congestion criteria
from the adopted Congestion Management Process. See Appendix B for the TIP project
application and specific project evaluation, selection/criteria, and process.
6. A review committee(s) selected from members of the TPO TCC and Executive Board as
well as interested transportation stakeholders receives and reviews the applications and
project evaluation results then submits a list of prioritized projects for consideration by
the TPO policy committees.
7. Utilizing the desired phasing requested by the project sponsors and the priorities of the
committee(s), the TPO staff fiscally constrains to the best extent possible the projects
based on the TPO’s available STP‐M and TAP designated allocation of funding.
8. At a scheduled or called TPO TCC meeting, the TCC reviews the list of prioritized projects
of the review committee(s) and recommends the list or a revised list to the TPO
Executive Board.
9. The recommended projects undergo public review.
10. The TPO Executive Board reviews the recommended list of projects, public comment for
consideration, and approves the recommended list or a revised list for inclusion in the
TIP.
11. All applicants are informed of the status of their projects. The applicants whose projects
were approved by the TPO may then request to receive contracts from the Tennessee or
27

28. Georgia Departments of Transportation or the Federal government for receipts of funds
and/or engineering and contract management of the projects.
Amendment Process
During the four year cycle of the TIP, project obligation dates and other project information
such as costs and scope may change. The TPO strives to accommodate revisions to the TIP as
expeditiously as possible within the limits imposed by federal guidelines and regulations.
However, some changes may require revisions to the Transportation Plan and/or Conformity
Determination Report, thus taking longer than expected.
TDOT Amendment and Adjustment Process/Criteria
Introduction:
The amendment and adjustment criteria are to establish two categories of actions to meet
Federal requirements and streamline the maintenance of the TIP. One category of action is a
“TIP Amendment” and the other is a “TIP Administrative Adjustment.” For projects falling
within the GA portion of the TPO, TPO staff will follow these TDOT procedures unless otherwise
specified in the Georgia Portion at the end of this section.
STIP/TIP Amendment:
• An amendment is a revision to the TIP that involves major changes to a project or the
overall program and must meet the requirements of 23 CFR450.216 and 450.326regarding
public review and comment, re‐demonstration of fiscal constraint, and transportation
conformity. An amendment is required when changes to the TIP include:
• A major change in the total project cost(excluding groupings) (see Project Cost Change
Thresholds, page 4); or
• Adding a new project or deleting a project from the TIP; or
• A major change of project scope; examples include, but are not limited to, changing the
number of through‐lanes, adding/deleting non‐motorized facilities, changing mode (e.g.,
rolling stock or facility type for transit), changing capital category (i.e., transit funding), or
changing termini; or
• Any change requiring a new regional air quality conformity finding, where applicable
(including a grouping);
Amendment Documentation and Authorization Procedures:
The TIP may be amended at any time, but amendments require federal approval and
redetermination of TIP fiscal constraint and air quality conformity, where applicable. TDOT will
review each amendment and submit the amendment to the appropriate Federal Agency. The
federal agencies will review and respond to a formal written request for amendment approval
from TDOT within 10 business days of receipt.
28

29. Authorization:
The Federal Highway Administration and FTA match project authorization requests to the TIP
prior to approving a request for project authorization. Therefore, all amendments to the TIP
need to be approved by FHWA or FTA prior to TDOT requesting federal authorization approvals.
Administrative Adjustments:
A TIP administrative adjustment is a minor change from the approved TIP. Administrative
adjustments must be consistent with 23 CFR 450, but they do not require public review and
comment, re‐demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination in
nonattainment or maintenance areas. TIP administrative adjustments are defined as follows:
• A minor change in the total project cost (see Project Cost Change Thresholds, below)
• A minor change in project description that does not change the air quality conformity
finding in maintenance and/or non‐attainment areas; or
• A minor change in project description/termini that is for clarification and does not change
the project scope; or
• Shifting funds between projects within a TIP (i.e., funding sources and projects already
identified in the TIP) if the change does not result in a cost increase greater than the
amendment threshold (see Project Cost Change Thresholds, below) for the total project
cost of all phases shown within the approved TIP; or
• Adding an amount of funds already identified in the TIP for the current or previous year(s)
if:
o The funds are currently identified in the TIP either in an existing project or as
available funds and
o The change does not result in a cost increase greater than the amendment threshold
(see Project Cost Change Thresholds, page) for the total project cost of all phases
shown within the approved TIP; or
• Moving projects from year to year within an approved TIP, except those that cross air
quality horizon years; or
• Adding a prior phase, such as environmental or location study, preliminary engineering or
right‐of‐way, to a project in the TIP so long as such a change does not result in a cost
increase greater than the amendment threshold (see Project Cost Change Thresholds,
below) for the total project cost of all phases shown within the approved TIP; or
• Changes required to follow FHWA or FTA instructions as to the withdrawal of funds or
reestablishment of funds withdrawn at the request of FHWA or FTA; or
• Moving funds between similarly labeled groupings, regardless of percent of change; or
• Adjustments in revenue to match actual revenue receipts.
Administrative Adjustment Documentation and Authorization Procedures:
Administrative adjustments do not require federal approval. Adjustments made to TDOT‐
sponsored projects in the TIP will be made by TDOT with notification to the MPO upon
submission of the adjustment to FHWA/FTA. The MPO will make the changes to funding tables,
and project sheets as needed without the need for distribution.
Project Cost Change Thresholds:
For changes to the cost of projects (excluding groupings), a sliding scale is outlined to
determine which category of revision is required. All measurements for these cost changes will
29

30. be made from the last approved TIP or TIP amendment/administrative adjustment to account
for incremental changes.
Total project cost of all
phases shown within the
approved TIP
Amendment Administrative Adjustment
Up to $2 million ≥75% < 75%
$2 million to $15 million ≥50% <50%
$15 million to $75 million ≥40% <40%
$75 million and above ≥30% <30%
Project Groupings:
The use of project groupings is permitted under 23 CFR 450.324 (f) for projects in an MPO’s TIP.
Projects that are funded by such groupings are to be of a scale small enough not to warrant
individual identification and may be grouped by function, work type, and/or geographic area
using the applicable classifications under 23 CFR 771.117(c) and (d) and/or 40 CFR part
93.Project groupings may only include projects that meet the following conditions: non‐
regionally significant, environmentally neutral, and exempt from air quality conformity.
The TIP will include a description of all grouping categories, eligible activities, and sufficient
financial information to demonstrate the projects that are to be implemented using current
and/or reasonably available revenues. All projects located within an MPO area must be
included in the MPO TIP, including those projects that are eligible for grouping. Therefore,
projects eligible for groupings that are located within the MPO planning area, may be grouped
within the MPO TIP or listed individually in the MPO TIP, but may not be included in the Rural
STIP.
Projects Crossing MPO Boundaries:
All projects whether included in a grouping or not that cross the MPO boundary and include an
area outside of the MPO boundary will be listed in the TIP only.
GDOT Amendment and Adjustment Process/Criteria
There are no threshold amounts for cost increases in projects or project phasing for projects
within the Georgia portion of the TPO Boundary. Determination of adjustment or amendment
for these changes will be done on a project by project basis.
Operations and Maintenance
Operations and maintenance (O&M) involves recurring and non‐recurring operational activities,
as well as maintenance activities. Some activities are scheduled and recurring (planned
disruptions through work zones, etc.); others are unscheduled (accidents or nonrecurring
special events). O&M is a key component of the transportation investment decision process.
30

31. The State DOTs contract with the local municipalities for maintenance. Each municipality
recognizes the necessity of O&M and provides for their own plan and policy that is adequate to
fit their specific needs. The TPO accepts these policies as their plan for the TPO planning area.
Each county and municipality in the Metropolitan Planning Area has submitted a letter of
commitment to the operations and maintenance under their jurisdiction. These letters are on
file at the offices of the Regional Planning Agency. CARTA conducts the majority of its
operations and maintenance with local forces (in‐house employees) and its operational services
are carried out by full and part‐time drivers. CARTA contracts some of its Job Access services to
a third‐party for daycare transportation. Depending on the repairs to be completed, CARTA will
at times contract certain maintenance and repair projects to third‐party vendors. The funding
sources for CARTA’s operations and maintenance include sections 5307 (the Urbanized Area
Formula Funding program) which absorbs the 5316 (the Jobs Access and Reverse Commute
program) and 5317 (the New Freedoms program) under MAP‐21 and 5309 (the Fixed Guideway
Modernization program used only for the incline railway) as well as local funding from the City
of Chattanooga and Hamilton County. In addition to these funding programs for maintenance,
the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County fund CARTA for various maintenance projects.
The financial summary tables, provided at the end of this section, for both the Tennessee and
Georgia portions of the TPO demonstrate that there are reasonably expected operation and
maintenance revenues and expenditures for the life of the plan. These numbers were derived
from the in progress 2040 Regional Transportation Plan, the endorsed 2014‐2017 local project
list, and the proposed TIP in its entirety. The plan shows that the system will be maintained and
operated during the life of the plan.
Air Quality Conformity
In January 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated the Chattanooga
region as a particulate matter (PM2.5) non‐attainment area. This designation means the
Chattanooga region exceeds the allowable amount of PM2.5 set by EPA in the National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Particulate matter air pollution refers to microscopic,
invisible airborne particles made up of dust soot, smoke and liquid droplets. The PM2.5 non‐
attainment area includes Hamilton County in Tennessee and Catoosa and Walker Counties in
Georgia.
Transportation conformity is one of the major requirements placed on non‐attainment areas in
order to ensure that the air quality is improved to an acceptable level. If it is not demonstrated,
then an area may lose its ability to obtain federal funding for certain roadway projects.
Conformity of the TIP is demonstrated when it is shown that vehicle emissions from the
transportation system do not exceed the budget as prescribed in the State Implementation Plan
(SIP).
All of the roadway projects included in this TIP have been drawn from the 2035 Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP) for which the transportation conformity finding was most recently
approved by USDOT on March 5, 2010. Since this plan meets conformity regulations of the EPA
and USDOT under 40 CFR Part 93, and has been approved by appropriate agencies, this TIP is
conforming. The Conformity Determination Report is available at www.chcrpa.org/TPO.
31

32.
Interagency consultation was used in the development of the TIP as required by 40 CFR 93.105.
Documentation of this consultation is documented in Appendix D. A Conformity Technical
Memorandum also accompanies this TIP document as a supplemental standalone update to the
2035 Conformity Determination Report approved in 2010. The Technical Memorandum can be
found in Volume 2 at the end of this document. Currently, the State Implementation Plan Air
Emissions Budgets for the TPO’s Tennessee and Georgia counties do not include transportation
control measures.
Fiscal Constraint
This 2014 – 2017 Transportation Improvement Program is fiscally constrained, in accordance to
federal requirements. All projects in the TIP reflect expected funding from the various revenue
sources from fiscal years 2014 through 2017. Also, a status report of the previous 2011 – 2014
TIP is provided in Appendix A. Any project from the previous TIP that was unable to be
completed or fully obligated has been carried over to the 2014 – 2017 Program, and remains
fiscally constrained. All project sponsors were required to revise their cost estimates for year of
expenditure (YOE) dollars based on a minimum 3% inflation rate. Some project sponsors
included the inflation rate within their 20% contingency. Project sponsors were provided cost
estimating information supplied by TDOT/GDOT and were required to submit project
considerations with YOE costs. The TPO reviewed and confirmed project cost estimates were in
YOE prior to approving the project list which included CARTA transit projects. The following
