2 Washington Legislative Update SAFETEA LU extended through calendar year 2010 at 2009 pre- rescission levels and restoration of rescinded spending authority. –Over $35B in Gen Fund Transfers to HTF since HR 4899, FY 2010 Supplemental Appropriations Bill. –Passed July 1. –Rescinds $2.2 B in state highway contract authority balances, spread across core programs. HR 4213, American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, passed House of Reps Pending in the Senate. –Provides $30M in additional planning funds distributed by formula. Climate Change Legislation

3 Transportation Reauthorization Surface Transportation Authorization Act released in 2009 by Chairman Oberstar, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. –Draft $500B bill released by House Transportation Committee and marked up by Hwy & Transit Subcommittee in June –$337.4B for Highways. –$87.6B (MTA) + $12.2B (Gen Fund) for public transportation investment. –Reduces number of funding “stovepipes” - programs. –Dedicates resources to freight capacity and mobility. –Dedicates resources to rebuilding and preserving the NHS. –Requires states and local governments to establish transportation plans with performance standards; measure progress, adjust plans to achieve objectives. –$50B Metropolitan Mobility Program. –$50B High Speed Rail Investment. –Promote public health and livability of communities - establish the Office of Livability in USDOT. Senate transportation committees continue to draft bill.

4 Transportation Reauthorization(STAA) Planning - Section 1508 –New MPO designation at 100,000 in population. –Adds operators of public transit systems to MPO structure. –Requires MPOs over 200,000 in population to establish targets and strategies to reduce transportation related GHG emissions. –All MPOs over 100,000 in population must have plans certified. –MPOs shall implement a system of performance management.  Measure the degree to which the LRTP reduces congestion, improves mobility and safety, increase to state of good repair, decreases GHGs, consistent with land use plans, and more.  Establish target level of performance.  Certification of the plan is now dependent on meeting or likelihood of meeting the performance measures. PL funding set-aside is unknown.

5 Metropolitan Mobility and Access Section 1205 of STAA - Metropolitan Mobility and Access Program. –Provides funding grants and financing authority to MPOs to implement programs and projects - reduce congestion, maximize mobility, improve safety and livability. –USDOT will issue regulations to carry out the MMA program - including eligibility of MPOs to receive funds, eligibility of projects, requirements for mobility plans, identify performance areas and measures. –Eligible MPOs include:  Serve UZA over 500,000.  Have in effect a mobility plan.  Demonstrate legal, technical, and financial capacity to carry out the metro plan. –Eligible Projects must be approved by the new Council on Intermodalism in the Office of the Secretary. –Metro Mobility Plans  Plan must include a number of items such as an assessment of congestion, low cost mobility projects, benefits of projects to the environment.

6 Climate: Transportation & Planning Senate - Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. Passed Senate EPW Committee in House - American Clean Energy and Security Act. Passed House of Representatives in Sens. Kerry-Lieberman - American Power Act. Draft bill released to the public in May 2010 and currently under review. Sen. Lugar - Practical Energy and Climate Plan Act, released June Energy efficiency, diverse domestic energy, more accountability and measurement of federal programs, and better fuel economy standards for cars and trucks to reduce dependency on foreign oil and reduce GHG emissions.

7 Climate: Transportation & Planning Common Transportation Provisions (Excluding Lugar Bill): –Demonstrate progress in stabilizing and reducing GHG emissions. EPA/USDOT consultation and rulemakings. –6 year assessment of progress in reducing GHGs. –Standardize models and methodologies. –MPOs serving TMAs are required to establish targets and strategies to meet the targets as part of the planning process. –Non-TMAs may elect to participate but are subject to all the requirements. –New planning factors: sustainability, livability, housing, public health and others. –USDOT and EPA review and determine if the plan meets requirements. –MPOs are eligible for planning funds and Performance Grants by meeting requirements. –Failure to establish targets and strategies will not impact certification.

8 Outlook 2010 Multi-year transportation authorization –Unlikely to become law in –Cutting spending and reducing the deficit are dominating politics before the elections. –No agreement on how to fund a larger federal investment.  Increasing the gas tax will not pass Congress. –USDOT is able to fund its many priorities through discretionary grants. No draft legislative proposal will be submitted to Congress. Clean Energy and Climate legislation –Will oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico motivate Congress to act? –Unlikely that any energy/climate bill will reach 60 votes in the Senate.
