Previous TIP Programming Methods Four big players (Albuquerque, NMDOT, Bernalillo County, and Rio Rancho) “Programming around a table” Federal funds spread out among council districts Agencies “bank-rolled” federal funds Mid-Region Council of Governments
Need for Changes Many small projects funded which were not regionally significant or targeting critical locations Only 40%-55% of available federal funds were being obligated each FY Many projects “rolled-over” to the next FY Summary : need to create more competitive process Mid-Region Council of Governments
Need for Changes Metropolitan area boundary expansion ▪ One large UZA and one small UZA New transit services ▪ Commuter rail (NM Rail Runner Express) ▪ New Regional Transit District Growth projections created a sense of urgency “river crossing issue” Mid-Region Council of Governments

Role of Transit in the Region Mid-Region Council of Governments
MPO Policy Measures Respond to challenges Create incentives and allocate resources in through TIP beneficial manner Project Prioritization Rethink strategies Process “Can’t build our way out of congestion” Transit mode share goals Move people rather than Funding set-aside move traffic Mid-Region Council of Governments
Project Prioritization Process Improve decision-making in programming of discretionary funds for Transportation Improvement Program ($25 million per year) Objective, quantitative method for evaluating proposed projects Compare projects to each other Transparent process with easy-to- understand guidebooks Modified based on geography Mid-Region Council of Governments
Project Prioritization Process 13 evaluation criteria linked to goals and objectives of 2035 MTP: Congestion levels, crash rates Air quality impacts Residential & employment density Multi-modalism – transit connections, bike/ped infrastructure Project strategies Balance of qualitative and quantitative criteria Mode-specific criteria Mid-Region Council of Governments
Future Role of Transit in Albuquerque Area 2035 MTP Mode Share Goals 10% of river-crossing trips by 2025 20% of river-crossing trips by 2035 Transit “set-aside” Established by policy board 25% of federal discretionary funds $6 million per year Mid-Region Council of Governments
Effectiveness Funding for transit jumped from 10% of TIP funds to 30% Mid-Region Council of Governments
Paseo del Norte High Capacity Transit Study Address river crossing congestion and provide competitive alternative to single-occupancy vehicle travel Connect northwest metro area with Journal Center and UNM $20 million allocated from 2016-19 Improvements to be phased in as funds become available Major consideration: operations!
