Air Quality Reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction in Vehicle Hours Traveled Cleaner vehicle emissions OKI uses methodology approved by Ohio Statewide Urban CMAQ Committee 1 reduced, range of 1- 3 2 or more reduced, range of 4 or 5

Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduce Vehicle Hours Traveled No Reduction Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduce Vehicle Hours Traveled Reduce Vehicle Emissions Road resurfacing Road connector resulting in shorter route Traffic flow improvements Bus Replacement Replacing existing infrastructure New bike facility Traffic signal interconnect Geometric correction New sidewalk connection Intersection turn lanes Items to include in application: length of project, before and after signal delay (intersection improvement), impact on vehicle trips, number and type of buses being replaced.

Intermodal Elements Factor New or improved connections between modes. i.e. between barge and rail Roadway to port New pedestrian connection to transit

Replacement/Expansion Factor Long Range Plan places emphasis on maintaining existing infrastructure Range of points available depending upon nature of the project: 100% Replacement 75% Replacement/25% Expansion 50% Replacement/50% Expansion 25% Replacement/75% Expansion 100% Expansion

Strategic Regional Policy Plan www.howdowegrow.org Adopted in 2005 and updated in 2014 Primary goal being to bring about more consistency between regional long range transportation planning, and local land use planning.

Strategic Regional Policy Plan Points awarded for: Projects located in an area with mixed land uses and/or will enhance mixed land uses Projects serving brownfield or greyfield properties or areas where infrastructure is underutilized Projects employing techniques to minimize or offset/compensate for environmental impacts, including green infrastructure strategies

Local Planning Factor Points awarded for: Projects consistent with an up-to-date local comprehensive plan Partial points if consistent but > 5 years old

Local Planning Factor Important points to include in the application: Reference the specific location in the Comprehensive Plan, such as page number(s), where the project is referenced/supported. Highlight the Public Participation process for the plan. Describe the Land Use/Transportation relationship.

Local Share (Match) Additional points will be awarded for applicants who pledge more local match Minimum 20% local match = 0 points Up to 10 points
