Overview of an MPO
The Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization (FCMPO and/or MPO) was
established in 2013 as a transportation policy-making and decision-making entity. The MPO is
composed of a Policy Board and a Technical Advisory Committee. FCMPO is responsible for
comprehensive, cooperative, and continuous planning for highways, roads, bridges, and public
transportation. The MPO coordinates with PennDOT and local municipalities in planning for
the transportation needs of the County.
The MPO Policy Board is composed of 13 voting members, including the Franklin County
Commissioners, local municipality representatives, and school districts representatives, and acts
as the decision-making entity. The Technical Advisory Committee is composed of 11 voting
members and offers technical insight, advice, and recommendations to the Policy Board on
transportation plans and programs.
The MPO Policy Board and TAC meet on a quarterly basis in the Franklin County
Administration Building located at 272 N 2nd Street, Chambersburg, PA 17201. For additional
information such as the time and dates of FCMPO meetings, please contact the Franklin County
Planning Department at 717-261-3855 or visit the Franklin County website.
MPOs are mandated to implement the metropolitan transportation planning process outlined in
the federal transportation regulations (23 USC 134 and 49 USC 5303). Federal law and
regulations establish five (5) core functions of an MPO that include the following objectives:
Establish and manage a fair and impartial setting for effective regional decision- making
in the transportation planning area.
Identify and evaluate alternative transportation improvement options by using data and
planning methods to generate and evaluate alternatives.
Prepare and maintain a Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The MPO is responsible for
developing and updating LRTPs for the planning area for a period of at least twenty (20) years
that fosters mobility and access for people and goods; efficient system performance and
preservation; and good quality of life.
Develop a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The MPO is responsible for developing
a short-range (four-year) program of transportation improvements based on the LRTP. The TIP
should be designed to achieve the area’s goals using spending, regulating, operating,
management, and financial tools.
Involve the general public and all significantly affected sub-groups residing in Franklin
County in the four (4) core functions listed above.
Purpose of TIP
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range of priority projects and acts as
an action plan for the upcoming 4 years. It is a prerequisite for federal funding assistance for
implementing transportation projects within the metropolitan planning area. The MPO is
responsible for developing the TIP in partnership with PennDOT and municipalities and
updating it every two years. The TIP project list covers a four-year period and serves as the first
four years of the Statewide Twelve Year Program (STIP).
The TIP is consistent with the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which includes
projects addressing safety and congestion issues, highway/bridge maintenance projects,
bicycle/pedestrian projects, and freight-related improvements. The LRTP is the primary source
for identifying priority projects to be implemented in the TIP. As with all FCMPO planning
practices, the LRTP is developed with comprehensive, cooperative, and continuous methods.
The TIP must be financially constrained each year. Funding sources and cost estimates for
professional engineering, right-of-way acquisitions, and construction for programmed projects
cannot exceed anticipated federal, state, and local resources. Additionally, all public and private
revenues and/or resources that will finance the program are indicated on the TIP, including
innovative fiscal techniques. If additional or alternative funding resources become available
during a TIP cycle, FCMPO may adopt a revision to include other projects. If funding becomes
available in the current fiscal year for a project listed in later years, that project can be advanced
to the current fiscal year fund cycle without an amendment or revision if the MPO approves.
Additionally, federal law requires that all transportation projects which use federal aid under
Title 23 U.S.C. and Title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 provisions must be listed in the TIP. The most
recent transportation act, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) was signed
into law on December 4, 2015, and authorizes the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
through the following statutes:
23 United States Code (U.S.C,) 134 (j) and (k)(3),(4)
23 U.S.C. 204
49 U.S.C 5304
23 C.F.R. [Code of Federal Regulations] 450.320, 450.324, 326, 328, 330, and 332
23 C.F.R. 500.109, 500.110, and 500.11
Project Selection Process
The FCMPO staff coordinated closely with PennDOT District 8-0 and Central Office to ensure
planning consistency on the TIP. PennDOT’s Central Office and Engineering District 8-0 are
involved in Franklin County’s planning process and are frequently consulted to provide guidance
and insight into best practices on the TIP. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Policy
Board were provided copies of the Draft 2025-2028 in the February and May Policy Board
Meetings, and the April TAC meeting. All meetings had a presentation and time allotted for
questions. TAC and Policy Board voting members had no objections against the proposed project
listing.
Financial Plan
The financial plan is derived from a comprehensive, cooperative, and continuous planning
process for the Franklin County region. The TIP must be financially constrained each year.
Funding sources and cost estimates for professional engineering, right-of-way acquisitions, and
construction for programmed projects cannot exceed anticipated federal, state, and local
resources. The financial considerations are conducted by PennDOT as part of the development
of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Franklin County MPO will
continue to pursue opportunities where additional funding may be available to enhance
transportation for the County.
The federal and state-funded projects in the 2025-2028 Franklin County TIP can be implemented
using current and proposed revenue sources. Funds are presented in Year of Expenditures (YOE)
dollars and are adjusted for inflation from the present time to the year of construction for a more
accurate cost estimate.
ADA Assurances
Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization in partnership with PennDOT complies
with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The ADA grants civil rights
protections to those with disabilities and guarantees equal opportunities to such individuals
regarding employment, transportation, public accommodation, state and local government
services, and telecommunications. In accordance with section 29 U.S.C 794, electronic and
information technology is made to be accessible to those with disabilities, including employees
and members of the public.
Title VI Assurances
The Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) assures that no person shall
on the grounds of race, color or national origin as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, and the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 (Public Law 100.259), and the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Title VI Plan, be excluded from
participation in, be denied benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity. The FCMPO further assures every effort will be made to ensure non-
discrimination in all of its programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are
federally funded or not.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 broadened the scope of Title VI coverage by
expanding the definition of the terms “programs and activities” to include all programs or
activities of Federal Aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors/consultants, regardless of
whether such programs and activities are themselves federally assisted (P.L. 100.259 [S.557]
March 22, 1988). In the event the FCMPO as the recipient distributes federal aid funds to a
sub- recipient, the FCMPO will include Title VI language in all written agreements and will
monitor for compliance.
The Franklin County Planning Department is responsible for initiating and monitoring Title VI
activities, preparing reports, and other responsibilities as required by 23 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 20 and 49 CFR 21.
Public Participation Process
The Public Participation Plan (PPP) includes policies and guidance for public outreach the
MPO shall follow when developing, amending, or adopting various planning documents. The
PPP works to ensure that all members of the public - including populations that have been
underserved by the transportation system and/or have lacked access to the decision-making
process - are given the opportunity to participate in the metropolitan transportation planning
process that shapes Franklin County. The PPP guides the FCMPO’s efforts to offer early,
continuous, and meaningful opportunities for the public to help identify social, economic, and
environmental impacts of proposed transportation policies, projects, and initiatives. This
document was created under the guidance of the FAST Act to encourage a decision-making
process that allows the public the opportunity for engagement and is responsive to local needs.
The public participation process for the Transportation Improvement Program will meet the
Federal Transit Administration public participation requirements for the Franklin County MPO.
The FCMPO’s Public Participation Process strives to achieve the following objectives:
Provide opportunities for public review and comment at key decision points, including a
reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed Metropolitan Transportation Plan
(MTP)/Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP), with adequate public notice and access to underlying technical and policy information.
Provide timely information about transportation issues and decision-making processes to
citizens, affected public agencies, and stakeholders including representatives of public
transportation users and users of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, representatives of the
disabled, private transportation providers, providers of freight transportation services, freight
shippers, representatives of public transportation employees, and other interested parties; and
Provide participation opportunities to those traditionally underserved by existing
transportation systems, such as low-income and minority populations.
The Draft FY 2025-2028 TIP was released for a 30-day public comment period from April 10,
2024, to May 10, 2024. An advertisement was placed in The Mercersburg Journal on April 10
for one day requesting public review and comment on the 2025-2028 TIP and information on
the TIP Public Open House. The FCMPO held an Open House for the Draft FY 2025-2028 TIP
on April 25, 2024 at 9:30 AM. EST at the Franklin County Administrative Building, 272 N.
Second Street in Chambersburg. The meeting was offered both virtually and in person. The
final adoption of the FY 2025-2028 TIP was acted on in the May 16, 2024, MPO meeting.
Administration
The TIP document is maintained and administered by the staff of the Franklin County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). During the life of the TIP, situations may arise
which require changes to be made to the current TIP document. Amendments of the approved
TIP that occur in off-cycle that are deemed by the FCMPO as “Administrative Changes” or
“Adjustments” are not subject to formal public notification. Public involvement and comments
will be accepted but not solicited. An amendment to the TIP may be considered an
“Administrative Change” based on any of the following criteria:
To correct a non-substantive clerical error;
Adds, deletes, or increases/decreases phases of an existing project using federal funds, but
does not exceed established threshold;
Adds federal or state capital funds from low-bid savings, de-obligations, or savings on
programmed phases to another programmed project phase or line item that does not exceed
established threshold;
Changes in funding levels that are less than two (2) million dollars or are part of a STIP
grouped project category;
Adds a project for emergency relief (ER) program, exception those involving
substantial functional changes;
The affected project/s are not regionally significant and exempt from
transportation conformity requirements;
Changes in the funding type, as well as drawing-down or returning of funding from an
existing TIP reserve line, but overall funding levels remain constant or do not exceed
the requirement prior;
Any other changes approved by the ISC that meet the criteria of an
“administrative change”.
PA Transportation Funding Not in the STIP
In addition to the baseline STIP/TIP funding identified in PennDOT’s Financial
Guidance, there are multiple funding sources that are distributed statewide to counties,
municipalities and through PennDOT maintenance. This funding includes:
o County/Municipal Liquid Fuels Tax Fund Allocations
o PennDOT County Maintenance A-582/A-409
o Statewide Distribution of Funds:
Green Light Go
Highway Transfer/Turnback Program
Highway Systems Technology
Debt Service
Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank (PIB)
Act 44 Bridge
$5 County Fee for Local Use Fund
Marcellus Shale
A-409 Discretionary
As defined by 23 USC 450.218(m), the STIP and regional TIPs are required to contain
system-level estimates of costs and state and local revenue sources beyond Financial
Guidance that are reasonably expected to be available to adequately operate and
maintain Federal-aid highways and public transportation.
Beyond the baseline federal and state funding, Pennsylvania invests more than $2.4
Billion annually to operate and maintain the Commonwealth’s transportation network.
This funding plays an important role in maintaining transportation infrastructure across
the Commonwealth and contributes significantly to providing a state of good repair. It
should be noted that existing and future transportation needs are much greater than
what current financial resources can provide in Pennsylvania. These needs go beyond
traditional highway and bridge infrastructure and include multi-modal facilities such as
public transit, aviation, rail, marine, ports, bicycle, pedestrian, and other assets.
Transportation Performance Management
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) continues the requirements established in Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act
for performance management. These requirements aim to promote the most efficient investment of
Federal transportation funds. Performance-based planning ensures that the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) collectively invest
Federal transportation funds efficiently towards achieving national goals. In Pennsylvania, the Rural
Planning Organizations (RPOs) follow the same requirements as MPOs.
Transportation Performance Management (TPM) is a strategic approach that uses data to make
investment and policy decisions to achieve national performance goals. 23 USC 150(b) outlines the
national performance goal areas for the Federal-aid program. This statute requires the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) to establish specific performance measures for the system that address these
national goal areas. The regulations for the national performance management measures are found in
23 CFR 490.
National Goal Areas
Safety To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all
public roads.
Infrastructure Condition To maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good repair
Congestion Reduction To achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System
System Reliability To improve the efficiency of the surface transportation system
Freight Movement and
Economic Vitality
To improve the national freight network, strengthen the ability of rural
communities to access national and international trade markets, and support
regional economic development.
Environmental
Sustainability
To enhance the performance of the transportation system while protecting and
enhancing the natural environment
Reduced Project
Delivery Delays
To reduce project costs, promote jobs and the economy, and expedite the
movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion through
eliminating delays in the project development and delivery process, including
reducing regulatory burdens and improving agencies' work practices
Performance Based Planning and Programming
Pennsylvania continues to follow a Performance Based Planning and Programming (PBPP) process, with
a focus on collaboration between PennDOT, FHWA, and MPOs/RPOs at the county and regional levels.
These activities are carried out as part of a cooperative, continuing, and comprehensive (3C) planning
process which guides the development of many PBPP documents, including:
Statewide and Regional Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTPs)
Twelve-Year Transportation Program (TYP)
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs)
Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP)
Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plans
Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans (PTASP)
Pennsylvania Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)
Comprehensive Freight Movement Plan (CFMP)
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Performance Plan(s)
Congestion Management Process (CMP)
Regional Operations Plans (ROPs)
The above documents in combination with data resources including PennDOT’s bridge and pavement
management systems, crash databases, historical travel time archives, and the CMAQ public access
system provide the resources to monitor federal performance measures and evaluate needs across the
state. Based on these resources, PennDOT and MPOs/RPOs have worked together to (1) create data
driven procedures that are based on principles of asset management, safety improvement, congestion
reduction, and improved air quality, (2) make investment decisions based on these processes, and (3)
work to set targets that are predicted to be achieved from the programmed projects. Aligning goals and
performance objectives across national (FHWA), state (PennDOT) and regions (MPOs/RPOs) provide a
common framework for decision-making.
PennDOT, in cooperation with the MPOs/RPOs, has developed written provisions for how they will
cooperatively develop, and share information related to the key elements of the PBPP process including
the selection and reporting of performance targets. In addition, PennDOT has updated their Financial
Guidance to be consistent with the PBPP provisions. The Financial Guidance provides the near term
revenues that support the STIP and is provided on the PennDOT Talk PA Transportation website.
Evaluating 2025-2028 STIP Performance
The Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025-2028 State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) supports the goal areas established in
PennDOT’s current long range transportation plan (Pennsylvania
2045). These include safety, mobility, equity, resilience, performance,
and resources. The goals are aligned with the national goal areas and
federal performance measures and guide PennDOT in addressing
transportation priorities.
The following sections provide an overview of the federal
performance measures and how the current project selection process
for the FY2025-2028 STIP supports meeting future targets. Over the
4-year STIP, nearly 85% of the total funding is associated with
highway and bridge reconstruction, preservation, and restoration projects. However, these projects are
also anticipated to provide significant improvements to highway safety and traffic reliability for both
passenger and freight travel. Through the federal performance measures, PennDOT will continue to
track performance outcomes and program impacts on meeting the transportation goals and targets.
Decision support tools including transportation data and project-level prioritization methods will be
continually developed and enhanced to meet PennDOT and MPO/RPO needs. Dashboards and other

Safety Performance Measures (PM1)
Background
The FHWA rules for the National Performance Management Measures: Highway Safety Improvement
Program (Safety PM) and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (81 FR 13881 and 81 FR 13722)
became effective on April 14, 2016. These rules established five safety performance measures
(commonly known as PM1). The current regulations are found at 23 CFR 490 Subpart B and 23 CFR 924.
Targets for the safety measures are established on an annual basis.
Data Source
Data for the fatality-related measures are taken from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and
data for the serious injury-related measures are taken from the State motor vehicle crash database. The
Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) are derived from the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS).

Methods for Developing Targets
An analysis of Pennsylvania’s historic safety trends was utilized as the basis for PennDOT and MPO/RPO
coordination on the State’s safety targets. The targets listed above are based on the five-year average
value for each measure from 2020-2024. The 2023 and 2024 values are projected from the actual 2022
values. A determination of having met or made significant progress toward meeting the 2022 safety
targets will be issued by the FHWA in April 2024.
FCMPO has approximately $8.67 million programmed into the FFY 2025 TIP for safety related projects.
These projects are programmed to be funded through HSIP.

Progress Towards Target Achievement and Reporting:
PennDOT and the MPOs/RPOs continue efforts to ensure the STIP, regional TIPs, and LRTPs are
developed and managed to support progress toward the achievement of the statewide safety targets.
At this time, only the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) has elected to establish
their own regional safety targets. All other MPOs/RPOs have adopted the statewide targets.
PennDOT’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) serves as a blueprint to reduce fatalities and serious
injuries on Pennsylvania roadways and targets 18 Safety Focus Areas (SFAs) that have the most influence
on improving highway safety throughout the state. Within the SHSP, PennDOT identifies 3 key emphasis
areas to improve safety – impaired driving, lane departure crashes, and pedestrian safety.
Lane Departure Crashes Speed & Aggressive Driving Seat Belt Usage Impaired Driving
Intersection Safety Mature Driver Safety Local Road Safety Motorcycle Safety
Pedestrian Safety Bicycle Safety Commercial Vehicle

Pursuant to 23 CFR 490.211(c)(2), a State Department of Transportation (DOT) has met or made
significant progress toward meeting its safety performance targets when at least 4 of the 5 safety
performance targets established under 23 CFR 490.209(a) have been met or the actual outcome is
better than the baseline performance for the year prior to the establishment of the target.
For Pennsylvania’s 2021 targets, the FHWA determined in April 2023 that Pennsylvania did not meet the
statewide targets and is subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 148(i). This requires the Department to
submit an implementation plan that identifies gaps, develops strategies, action steps and best practices,
and includes a financial and performance review of all HSIP funded projects. In addition, the
Department is required to obligate in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024 an amount equal to the FFY 2020
HSIP apportionment.
The FHWA has established certain special rules for HSIP under 23 U.S.C. 148(g). Among them is the
Vulnerable Road User Safety special rule created by IIJA-BIL 23 U.S.C. 148(g)(3). This new special rule
provides that the total annual fatalities of vulnerable road users in a state represents not less than 15%
of the total annual crash fatalities in the state. Additional guidance on the Vulnerable Road Users Safety
special rule was released by FHWA on February 2, 2022.
PennDOT was notified by FHWA in April 2023 that Pennsylvania triggered the Vulnerable Road Users
Safety special rule. For calendar year 2021, the number of Vulnerable Road Users fatalities exceeded
15% of the total annual crash fatalities. PennDOT is therefore required to obligate in FFY 2024 not less
than 15% of the amount apportioned under 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(3) for highway safety improvement
projects to address the safety of vulnerable road users.
As part of the Highway Safety Improvement Program Implementation Plan, the Department identified
gaps and best practices to support further reducing serious injuries and fatalities. The following
opportunities were identified as ways to assist with meeting future targets: (1) appropriate project
selection, (2) expanding local road safety in HSIP, (3) assessing programs that support non-motorized
safety, (4) expanding use of systemic safety projects, (5) improved project tracking for evaluation
purposes and (6) project prioritization for greater effectiveness.
PennDOT continues to provide feedback on statewide and MPO/RPO-specific progress towards target
achievement. The progress helps regional MPOs/RPOs understand the impacts of their past safety
investments and can guide future planning goals and strategy assessments.
Franklin County TIP:
- Performance Measure 1 (Safety) data is provided to FCMPO through PennDOT’s Pennsylvania Crash
Information Tool (PCIT).
- Franklin County works closely with PennDOT Central Office and Engineering District 8-0 staff to ensure
planning consistency with PennDOT’s Performance Measure Targets. PennDOT’s Central Office and
Engineering District 8-0 is involved in Franklin County’s planning process and is frequently consulted to
provide guidance and insight into best practices based on PennDOT’s strategy for meeting established
performance measures.
Evaluation of STIP for Target Achievement:
The following will ensure that planned projects in the STIP will help to achieve a significant reduction of
traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads:
PennDOT receives federal funding for its Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The 2025-2028
STIP includes $534 million of HSIP funding. The Department distributes over 60% of this funding to its
regions based on fatalities, serious injuries, and reportable crashes. In addition, a portion of the HSIP
funding is reserved for various statewide safety initiatives. A complete listing of FCMPO HSIP projects is
included on pages 3-4.
All projects utilizing HSIP funds are evaluated based on a Benefit/Cost (B/C) analysis, Highway Safety
Manual (HSM) analysis, fatal and injury crashes, application of systemic improvements, improvements
on high-risk rural roads, and deliverability. A data-driven safety analysis in the generated through an
HSM analysis is required as part of PennDOT’s HSIP application process. Performing this analysis early in
the planning process for all projects will help ensure projects selected for inclusion in the STIP will
support the fatality and serious injury reductions goals established under PM1.
The process for selecting safety projects for inclusion in the STIP begins with the Network Screening
Evaluation that the Department has performed on a statewide basis. Selecting locations with an excess
crash frequency greater than zero from this network screening is key to identifying locations with a high
potential to improve safety. This evaluation has been mapped and is included in PennDOT’s OneMap to
ease use by PennDOT’s partners. At the current time, this is not all inclusive for every road in
Pennsylvania. Locations not currently evaluated may be considered by performing the same type of
excess crash frequency evaluation the Department utilizes. Once this analysis has been performed, the
data is used by the Engineering Districts and planning partners to assist MPO/RPO’s in evaluating
different factors to address the safety concern.
PennDOT continues to improve on the methods to perceive, define and analyze safety. This includes
integration of Regionalized Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) that have been used to support
network screening of over 20,000 locations.1
PennDOT continues to identify new strategies to improve safety performance. PennDOT is actively
participating in FHWA’s Every Day Counts round 5 (EDC-5) to identify opportunities to improve
pedestrian safety as well as reduce rural roadway departures. These new strategies are to be
incorporated into future updates to the SHSP.
Safety continues to be a project prioritization criterion used for selecting other STIP highway and bridge
restoration or reconstruction projects. Many restoration or reconstruction projects also provide
important safety benefits.
PennDOT continues to evaluate procedures to help in assessing how the STIP supports the achievement
of the safety targets. As HSIP projects progress to the engineering and design phases, Highway Safety
Manual (HSM) predictive analyses are completed for the project in accordance with PennDOT
Publication 638. The HSM methods are the best available state of practice in safety analysis and
provides quantitative ways to measure and make safety decisions related to safety performance.
PennDOT will continue to identify ways to expand the application of HSM analyses to support more
detailed assessments of how the STIP is supporting achievement of the safety targets.
Franklin County TIP (PM-1)

Pavement/Bridge Performance Measures (PM2)
Background
The FHWA rule for the National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Pavement and Bridge
Condition for the National Highway Performance Program (82 FR 5886) became effective on February
17, 2017. This rule established six measures related to the condition of the infrastructure on the
National Highway System (NHS). The measures are commonly known as PM2. The current
regulations are found at 23 CFR 490 Subpart C and Subpart D. Targets are established for these
measures as part of a four-year performance period. This STIP includes projects that will impact
future performance periods based on when projects are constructed or completed.
Data Source
Data for the pavement and bridge measures are based on information maintained in PennDOT’s
Roadway Management System (RMS) and Bridge Management System (BMS). The VMT are derived
from the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS).

Methods for Developing Targets
Pennsylvania’s pavement and bridge targets were established in late 2022 through extensive
coordination with a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) steering committee and
workshops with MPOs/RPOs and FHWA’s Pennsylvania Division. The targets are consistent with
PennDOT’s asset management objectives of maintaining the system at the desired state of good
repair, managing to lowest life cycle costs (LLCC), and achieving national and state transportation
goals.2 Targets were calculated based on general system degradation (deterioration curves) offset by
improvements expected from delivery of the projects in the STIP along with planned state funded
maintenance projects.
The FCMPO FFY 2025 TIP has four (4) projects that are located on the National Highway System. These
projects represent bridge and pavement improvement within the Franklin County region.

Progress Towards Target Achievement and Reporting:
Improving Pennsylvania’s pavement and bridges is a critical part of the strategic investment strategy for
Pennsylvania’s transportation network at the State and Federal level. Improving the condition and
performance of transportation assets is another goal area of the 2045 Statewide LRTP. With limitations
on available resources, the preservation of pavement and bridge assets using sound asset management
practices is critical. Asset management is a key piece of FHWA’s TPM program and is a vital force behind
infrastructure performance.
Within its asset management framework, it was necessary for PennDOT to transition away from a
“worst-first” programming methodology to a true overall risk-based prioritization and selection of
projects for its system assets based on LLCC. “Worst-first” prioritization focuses work on the poorest
condition assets at the expense of rehabilitation and preventative maintenance on other assets in better
condition. PennDOT’s revised strategy reflects its asset management motto and guiding principle: “The
right treatment at the right time.” This is reflective of Federal TAMP requirements that are centered on
investing limited funding resources in the right place at the right time to produce the most cost-effective
life cycle performance for a given investment.
PennDOT’s TAMP formally defines its framework for asset management, which is a data-driven
approach coupled with a risk-based methodology. It outlines the investment strategies for
infrastructure condition targets and documents asset management objectives for addressing risk,
maintaining the system at the desired state of good repair, managing to LLCC, and achieving national
and state transportation goals. The TAMP is developed by the PennDOT Asset Management Division
(AMD) in consultation with PennDOT Executive leadership, Center for Program Development and
Management (CPDM), Bureau of Planning and Research (BPR), PennDOT Districts, the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission (PTC), the MPOs/RPOs and FHWA.
With each program update, PennDOT has made substantial advances in its asset management tools and
practices. A risk-based, data-driven approach to project selection helps ensure that the right projects
are prioritized, and the transportation system is managed optimally to the lowest practical life-cycle
cost. PennDOT’s Pavement Asset Management System (PAMS) and Bridge Asset Management System
(BAMS) are the foundations for this asset management approach. These systems forecast condition and
investment needs by asset class using deterioration models and treatment matrices developed for
PennDOT infrastructure and based on historical data. PennDOT has developed both predictive and
deterministic models that support multi-objective decision-making based on current average work costs
and estimated treatment lifespans. These models allow PennDOT to predict infrastructure investment
needs and future conditions under a range of scenarios.
As part of its asset management strategy, PennDOT strives to maintain as many highway and bridge
assets as possible in a state of good repair. PennDOT defines its desired state of good repair as meeting
the FHWA minimum condition thresholds for pavements and bridges: no more than 5 percent of NHS
Interstate lane-miles shall be rated in poor condition and no more than 10 percent of total NHS bridge
deck area shall be rated as poor. However, the ability to achieve these condition thresholds is funding
dependent.
PennDOT uses its PAMS and BAMS systems to assist with prioritizing preservation activities to extend
asset life. This methodology allows PennDOT to managate assets to the lowest practical life-cycle cost
and helps it to make progress toward achieving its targets for asset condition and performance.
Implementation of these improved asset management practices should be applied on all state and local
networks.
Franklin County (PM 2)
- FCMPO staff continues to work closely with PennDOT Engineering District 8-0 to ensure consistency
with Performance Measure 2 targets as established by PennDOT.
- FCMPO remains supportive of all PennDOT statewide targets and will continue to work closely with
District 8-0 on an ongoing basis to ensure planning and project programming stays consistent with
PennDOT best practices.
- FCMPO will continue to monitor annual reports provided by PennDOT.
Evaluation of STIP for Target Achievement:
The following has helped to ensure that planned projects in the STIP will help to maintain a desired state
of good repair in bridge and pavement conditions for the interstate and NHS roadways:
Nearly 85% of PennDOT’s STIP funding is directed to highway and bridge preservation, restoration, and
reconstruction projects. Many of these projects are focused on our state’s interstate and NHS
roadways.
Pennsylvania’s investment strategy, reflected in the statewide 2025 Twelve Year Program (TYP) and
2025-2028 STIP, is the result of numerous strategic decisions on which projects to advance at what time.
PennDOT continues to address the challenges of addressing local needs and priorities, while ensuring a
decision framework is applied consistently across the state.
In support of the STIP development, PennDOT and MPOs/RPOs jointly developed and approved General
and Procedural Guidance and Transportation Program Financial Guidance documents.3 The guidance,
which is consistent with the TAMP, formalizes the process for Districts, MPOs/RPOs and other interested
parties as they identify projects, perform a project technical evaluation, and reach consensus on their
portion of the program.
3 The 2025 Financial Guidance can be found at: https://talkpatransportation.com/how-it-works/tip
The Procedural Guidance also helps standardize the project prioritization process. The guidance is key
to resolving issues between programming to lowest life-cycle cost, managing current infrastructure
issues and risk mitigation. The resulting methodology allows data-driven, asset management-based
decisions to be made with human input and insight based on field evaluations to achieve maximum
performance of the available funds. The guidance document is revised for each STIP cycle as PennDOT’s
asset management tools and methods evolve and enhance its ability to program to lowest life cycle cost.
PAMS and BAMS outputs are the basis for determining project programming to achieve LLCC. PennDOT
Districts work with MPO/RPOs to generate the lists of recommended treatments by work type (such as
highway resurfacing and bridge rehabilitation), based on LLCC and condition projections derived from
PennDOT’s PAMS and BAMS. PennDOT AMD provides any necessary support. For the 2025 Program
Update, as PennDOT integrates PAMS and BAMS into the STIP and TYP development, AMD provides the
PAMS and BAMS outputs for any District or MPO/RPO that requests them. Those areas that have the
capability may produce their own outputs. PAMS and BAMS outputs define recommended treatments
and forecasted conditions, but not necessarily complete project scopes and limits. These outputs serve
as a guide to assist in the prioritization and selection of new projects to be considered for the program.
Performance can be compared if projects are considered that do not align with PAMS and BAMS
outputs.
As part of the regional TIP development process mentioned above, the MPOs/RPOs and PennDOT
Districts must document the differences between the PennDOT asset management system treatment
and funding level recommendations and their selected projects as part of their TIP submissions. They
must also document the coordination with the PennDOT District(s) and Central Office that occurred as
part of this decision-making process. This information is used by PennDOT AMD to improve future asset
management policy and procedures, sharing of information and tools, and system functionality.
Franklin County TIP (PM-2)
- Bridge and pavement conditions are integrated into the MPO process by utilizing data received from
PennDOT Central Office and Engineering District 8-0. FCMPO takes this data and considers it throughout

- The total amount of bridge deck area for projects listed in the 2025 TIP is 70,080 square feet.
- The total amount of improved pavement miles for projects listed in the 2025 TIP is 2.92 miles.
- FCMPO anticipates that the projects selected for the TIP will work toward achieving performance
measures as established by PennDOT, and help maintain travel feasibility for commuters and freight
throughout the region.
System Performance Measures (PM3)
Background
The FHWA final rule for the National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of
the National Highway System, Freight Movement on the Interstate System, and Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality Improvement Program (82 FR 5970) became effective on May 20, 2017. This rule
established six measures related to transportation performance (commonly known as PM3). The
current regulations are found at 23 CFR 490 Subparts E, F, G & H. Targets are established for these
measures as part of a four-year performance period. This TIP includes projects that will impact future
performance periods based on when projects are constructed or completed.
Data Source
The Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) software platform is used to
generate the travel time-based measures. Data from the American Community Survey (ACS) and
FHWA’s CMAQ annual reporting system are used for the non-SOV travel and emissions measures.

Methods for Developing Targets
The System Performance measure targets were established in early 2023 in coordination with
MPOs/RPOs within the state. PennDOT continues to evaluate historic variances in performance
measures in relation to project completion to assist with the target setting process.
Progress Towards Target Achievement and Reporting:
PennDOT and the MPOs/RPOs work to ensure that the STIP, regional TIPs, and LRTP are crafted and
managed to support the improvement of the reliability and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) performance measures. These efforts are further supported by auxiliary plans such as the
Regional Operations Plans (ROPs), Congestion Management Processes (CMPs), and CMAQ Performance
Plans.
For each biennial report, the Bureau of Operations (BOO) within PennDOT scrutinizes statewide
reliability and delay data, examining it for overarching trends. Working in synergy, BOO and CPDM pool
their efforts to construct statewide and regional performance summaries (in the form of tables or maps)
to be shared with the MPOs/RPOs. These summaries may be enriched by supplemental data, such as
insights on the root causes of congestion. Such detailed information helps MPOs/RPOs, in collaboration
with each PennDOT District, to assess progress and pinpoint areas for capacity or traffic flow
improvements in order to meet the established targets more effectively. These initiatives are
coordinated with the LRTP, ROP, and CMP (where applicable) in each respective region.
Tracking performance trends also supports assessing the influence of completed investments on
performance measures, provided that data is accessible pre and post-project construction. These
project impacts offer invaluable insights into the efficacy of historical funding, as well as potential
benefits of future investments on traffic congestion and reliability.
Despite a significant portion of funding being allocated towards infrastructure repair and maintenance,
PennDOT remains steadfast in its commitment to improve system mobility and enhance modal
connections. PennDOT's LRTP lays out objectives aimed at fostering mobility across the transportation
system, thereby steering investment decisions. Federal systems performance measures will be
harnessed to evaluate future advancements in meeting these objectives and the associated targets.
PennDOT LRTP Mobility Goal and Objectives
Franklin County TIP (PM-3)
- FCMPO will continue to work with PennDOT Central Office and Engineering District 8-0 in support of
established statewide targets. In coordination with PennDOT, FCMPO will maintain a continuing,
comprehensive, and coordinated approach towards meeting Performance Measure Targets.
- FCMPO regularly monitors performance trends, giving credence to those that show the most impact to
current and projected commuter mobility and integrating those concerns that meet financial constraint
into our LRTP.
- FCMPO will continue to integrate federal and state guidances in the MPO planning process.
The following projects will contribute to Franklin County meeting the PM-3 target.

Evaluation of STIP for Target Achievement:
The following has helped to ensure that planned projects in the STIP will help to achieve an
improvement in the system performance measures for the statewide interstate and NHS road system:
PennDOT continues to emphasize their Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO)
initiatives to program low-cost technology solutions to optimize infrastructure performance. This has
included the development of ROPs that integrate with the MPO CMP to identify STIP projects. A TSMO
funding initiative was established in 2018 to further support these efforts. The 2025-2028 STIP includes
over $289 million of funding dedicated to congestion relief projects.
PennDOT has funded interstate projects to address regional bottlenecks. Mainline capacity increasing
projects are limited to locations where they are needed most. These investments will provide significant
improvements to mobility that support meeting the interstate and freight reliability targets.
The statewide CMAQ program and Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) provides over $700 million of
funding on the STIP for projects that benefit regional air quality or greenhouse gases. PennDOT has
worked with Districts and MPO/RPOs to develop more robust CMAQ/CRP project selection procedures
to maximize the air quality and carbon reduction benefits from these projects.
Over $210 million is provided in the STIP for multi-modal alternatives. This includes funding for transit
operating costs, transit and rail infrastructure, support for regional carpooling and other bike and
pedestrian infrastructure within the state. These projects provide opportunities to reduce vehicle miles
of travel (VMT) and increase the percentage of non-single occupant vehicles.
At this time, the potential impact of past and planned STIP investments on PM3 performance measures
are still being evaluated. The timeline for project implementation often prevents an assessment of
measurable results until a number of years after project completion. PennDOT continues to monitor the
impact of recently completed projects on the reliability and delay measures. As more data is obtained,
these insights will help PennDOT in evaluating potential project impacts in relation to other factors
including incidents and weather on system reliability and delay.
Franklin County TIP (PM-3)
- System performance measures are integrated into the FCMPO planning and project selection process,
in coordination with PennDOT Central Office and Engineering District 8-0. This process ensures a
continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated approach toward meeting PM-3 targets.
- FCMPO does not have regional or statewide spike and/or discretionary funds that are programmed for
projects that will support PM-3 targets.
- FCMPO does not have CMAQ projects within the region.

Methods for Developing Targets
PennDOT annually updates performance targets based on two primary elements: the prior year’s
performance and anticipated/obligated funding levels. PennDOT requires rolling stock and non-
revenue vehicles (equipment) to meet both age and mileage ESL standards prior to being replaced.
While the identified annual targets represent only age and condition in line with FTA guidelines,
PennDOT will continue to apply age and mileage when making investment decisions.
Progress Towards Target Achievement and Reporting:
The Pennsylvania TAM Group Plan fulfills the PBPP requirement and encourages communication
between transit agencies and their respective MPOs and RPOs. In accordance with the plan, the
following actions take place that fulfill the PBPP requirement:
PennDOT provides asset performance reports to transit agencies by August 31 of each year that
measure performance against established targets for the previous fiscal year.
Transit agencies review the content for accuracy and confirm with PennDOT that information related to
transportation asset performance has been received and is accurate.
Transit agencies share performance data with their respective planning partner by the end of each
calendar year, or earlier as decided between the partners.
New performance goals for the upcoming fiscal year are established no later than September 15 of each
year and communicated to transit agencies covered under the group plan.
Transit agencies continue regular coordination regarding the local Transportation Improvement Plan
(TIP) and other planning initiatives of the local planning partner.
All transit agencies are required to utilize Pennsylvania’s transit Capital Planning Tool (CPT) as part of
their capital planning process and integrate it into their TAM process. The CPT is an asset management
and capital planning application that works as the central repository for all Pennsylvania transit asset
and performance management activities.
Consistent with available resources and in coordination with the PennDOT Bureau of Public Transit
(BPT), transit agencies are responsible for submitting projects consistent with the CPT for the
development of the transit portion of the Program. This ensures that projects identified on the TIP are
consistent with the TAM approach and respective TAM plans. PennDOT CPDM will update this project
information in MPMS and share it with the MPOs/RPOs, PennDOT BPT, and the transit agencies.
In addition to the decision support tools identified above, PennDOT is in the process of implementing a
statewide Fixed Route Intelligent Transportation Systems (FRITS) program. FRITS focuses on
modernizing transit technology and creating a standard platform throughout the Commonwealth. One
key piece of FRITS is real-time vehicle health monitoring, which will allow agencies to identify problems
before they occur on vehicles and prolong vehicle life, while also allowing agencies to better prioritize
capital needs.
Evaluation of STIP for Target Achievement:
The STIP includes an investment prioritization process using established decision support tools. The
investment prioritization process occurs annually as part of the capital budgeting process. To prioritize
investments at an agency level and at a statewide level, the following basic actions take place:
Update inventory in the CPT to include age, mileage, condition, and operational status
Identify assets that are not in a state-of-good-repair, using the following priority process:
Vehicles that surpass age and mileage ESL
Vehicles that surpass age or mileage ESL and are rated in poor condition or represent a safety hazard
Facilities that have a condition rating of less than 3 on the TERM Scale, with priority given to
facilities that are the lowest in the scale and represent a critical need to maintain operational capacity
Determine available funding based on federal and state funding sources
Develop projects within the CPT Planner based upon funds availability
Annually agencies are responsible for supplying estimates of directly awarded federal and local
funding for capital projects
PennDOT works with agencies to facilitate the efficient use of dollars towards maintaining a state of
good repair, filling project shortfalls with available state funding
Import CPT Planner into DotGrants for the execution of capital grants
Throughout the process, PennDOT reviews projects and works with agencies to approve and move
projects forward through the grant process.
Franklin County TIP
-FCMPO ensures the integration of system performance measure considerations into its planning and
selection processes, in coordination with PennDOT Central Office and Engineering District 8-0. This
process ensures a continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated approach toward meeting PM-3 targets.
-Franklin County does not have a transit provider. The FCMPO coordinates with York Adams County
Transportation Authority for rabbittransit services provided throughout the county.
Public Transit Safety Performance Measures
In addition to the Transit Asset Management Performance, FTA issued a final rule on Public
Transportation Agency Safety Plans (PTASP), effective July 19, 2019. The PTASP final rule (49 CFR 673) is
meant to enhance safety by creating a framework for transit agencies to manage safety risks in their
organization. It requires recipients of FTA Section 5307 funding to develop and implement safety plans
that support the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS). At this time, recipients which
receive only Section 5311 (Formula Grants for Rural Areas) or Section 5310 (Enhanced Mobility of
Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program) are exempt from the PTASP requirement.
As part of the plan development process, performance targets must be established for the following
areas:
Fatalities,
Injuries,
Safety Events
System Reliability
All applicable public transit agencies in the Commonwealth have written safety plans compliant with 49
CFR 673. These safety plans must be updated annually based on agency specific execution dates and
shared with PennDOT BPT. It is also the transit agency’s responsibility to share the updated plan with
their respective MPO/RPO, so the new targets and measures can be incorporated into regional planning
practices.

Central Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
FINANCIAL CAPACITY ANALYSIS REPORT
2025-2028 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Background
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) through Section 5307(c)(1)(A) of Title 49, Chapter 53
requires a grantee receiving FTA assistance under the Urban Formula Program to certify that it “has or
will have the legal, financial and technical capacity to carry out the Program of Projects including
safety and security aspects of the program submitted in the annual Transportation Improvement Plan
(TIP). FTA Circular C 7008.1A dated January 30, 2002 provides the proper guidance for providing a
Financial Capacity Analysis.
Requirement
FTA Circular C7008.1A identifies two aspects of financial capacity that must be addressed. The first is
the general financial condition of the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (SRTA,) the
administrator of funds authorized for use by CPTA (rabbittransit) and the non-federal funding entities
to include the State and local funding sources. The second aspect that must be addressed is the
capability of SRTA and its funding sources to meet future financial commitments for operating and
capital projects as outlined in the TIP. The level of detail required is proportionate to the size of the
system and the projects included in the TIP. As CPTA’s program requirements are relatively modest
an extensive analysis is not appropriate or necessary to verify CPTA’s capability to operate current
levels of service and implement planned capital projects.
Financial Condition of Central Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
CPTA is a Municipal based in York County, with a services area that includes the counties of Adams,
Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Union and
York.
Fixed route transit service is focused mainly in the York City urban area with radial service to specific
suburban area communities including Dover, Manchester, Red Lion, Shrewsbury, and Hanover.
CPTA’s shared ride service includes the York service area, as well as each of the surrounding counties
for which CPTA services the community, including Franklin County.
Table 1 summarizes key financial data for CPTA for fiscal years FY 2021-FY 2023. Note that FY 2023
was the first full year of the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (SRTA), created as a
merger between CPTA and the Cumberland-Dauphin-Harrisburg Transit Authority (CAT). As part of
the merger, CAT and Rabbit Transit administrative operations were combined under the leadership of
SRTA. The creation of SRTA did not change the operations of CPTA nor the service that operated
during the year. However, SRTA was made the designated recipient of the funds for both York and the
Harrisburg UZAs, and will be responsible for the administering of all funds provided on behalf of
CPTA and CAT. This simply means that SRTA will be receiving the funds and acting on the behalf of
CPTA when those funds are administered. The purpose and use of those funds will not change, nor will
the service that those funds are covering. The significant change is that all administrative functions for
CPTA are being carried out by employees of SRTA (former CPTA administrative staff, as well as all
staff in the surrounding counties). Operations and Maintenance functions are still residing in CPTA,
but office staff are currently functioning as SRTA staff. The result of the merger is that there will be
changes to the financial reporting. Expenses that were at one-time being reported under CPTA for
admin will now be reported under SRTA. This is merely a change in where the information is being
recorded. The relevant CPTA expenses will still be covered by funds for the York UZA. The only
change is that the administrator of those funds will be SRTA, and the corresponding financial
information will reside on SRTA books. All CPTA maintenance and operational expenses will remain
on CPTA’s books.
It should also be noted that while CPTA continues to feel the lingering effects of the Covid 19
pandemic, there has been some overall improvement in ridership and in operations. While the
pandemic continues to be further in the past, there are still lingering negative trends that CPTA is
encountering related to costs. CPTA has had increases in costs for parts and supplies, and in general,
everyday expenses. These expenses have slightly been offset by increases in revenue that has resulted
with ridership beginning to rebound; however, the ridership levels have not reached pre-pandemic
levels, and the rate of inflation has outpaced the increases seen in revenue.
Specifically for FY 2023: The Authority recovered approximately 72.4% of its operating expenses with
operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2023. The remaining operating expense balance has been
funded with federal, state, and local grants. A substantial portion of the Authority's support is received
from these grants. Therefore, a significant reduction in the level of this support would have a major
effect on the Authority's operations. However, based on historical trends (including federal amounts
received during the Covid-19 pandemic), and expected future grant amounts, the Authority is confident
that when combined with the changes being made internally through the creation of SRTA, the funding
received will allow CPTA to sustain its operations comfortably in the short and long-term.
The creation of SRTA and the merger with CAT have had positive effects on CPTA. Operations are
continuously being examined and improved collectively and there have been efficiencies in the
organization that have resulted from the merger and shared functions. Rabbittransit and CAT, through
SRTA, continue to streamline operations, and additional cost-savings are expected to occur as
organization grows and continues to combine internal functions and to mesh the services of the two
transits into a larger, more cohesive structure.
Beginning July 1, 2022 under the contract with SRTA, CPTA provided public transportation in the
County of York Pennsylvania and was paid $11,433,240 for those services by SRTA.
In addition, CPTA was able to utilize Federal CARES and ARP funds through FY 2023, which has
allowed the organization to improve its current financial position. CPTA has been able to operate since
the beginning of the pandemic with no service interruptions because of the increased Federal funds.
This influx of funding has also allowed CPTA to be more efficient in the use of its State Act 89
operating funds, which will now be available for future use. CPTA expects to see continued
improvement (in financial stability, service, and technology) over the next several years and will be in
a position to maximize its funding and revenue, while keeping expenses at reasonable levels, despite
inflation effects. CPTA will remain fully funded in the foreseeable future. CPTA’s annual budget will
be balanced with Federal, State, and Local receipts.
The Pennsylvania Counties of York and Adams is current on payments and are committed to meet their
obligations through 2023. CPTA expects these commitments to continue with no interruptions.
CPTA has no long-term liabilities nor outstanding debt, and has the financial capacity to undertake the
programs identified in the TIP.

**FY 2023 was the first year for SRTA reporting. The information shown here is only reflective of CPTA direct expenses. All administrative functions
and financial information, as well as the activity of the shared ride program in all of the surrounding counties, is reported on SRTA’s books. All relevant
subsidy for the York UZA will be captured on SRTA’s books. CPTA financial information only reflects Fixed Route activity for York, as well as related
operational and maintenance expenses.
Financial Capacity of Non-federal Funding Partners
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the major non-federal funding source for CPTA. Through
regular appropriations from the General Assembly all public transit providers identified in Act 89 of
2013 (which includes CPTA) receive annual operating grants. Act 89 also provides dedicated funding
for CPTA with annual increases. Act 89 funds may be used for operating costs. Capital funds are
competitive with other transit systems in the state; however projects that are already funded with
federal dollars hold a priority. SRTA is the designated recipient for funds that are provided to the York
UZA, and which are to be used for transportation in the region. The funds that are received by SRTA
are, and will continue to be, used on behalf of CPTA and will be used for transportation purposes in
CPTA’s operating region. The full faith and good will of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is behind
the receipt and distribution of these funds and SRTA has every confidence that this funding source will
be available during the project period outlined in the TIP.
The local jurisdictions of York and Adams County that provide a portion of the non-federal share of
these projects are expected to remain fiscally viable as evidenced in the continued increases shown in
Table 2. Table 2 below shows several factors that indicate continued growth for York and Adams
Counties and show that they can reasonably be expected to continue providing the same level of
support that they have been providing. Taken as a whole, the population and housing and income
growth for the local municipalities is sufficient to justify and continue the transportation projects on the
TIP.
Table 2 Local Funding Partner Statistics
Conclusion
Based on the analysis presented in this report, SRTA, on behalf of CPTA, has the financial capacity to
undertake the projects listed in the 2025-2028 TIP. CPTA is confident that its non-federal funding
sources are stable and will continue to provide funding in the same or increased amounts that they have
been providing. CPTA’s service levels will remain consistent and justify the reasonable level of public
transportation provided in its service area, and the creation of SRTA through the merger with CAT has
improved financial stability and efficiency in its operations. CPTA has no long-term liabilities and
holds a capital reserve account to assist with the non-federal share of the projects listed on the TIP, if
required, for CPTA to continue services.

Project Selection Process:
Projects can get on the TIP several different ways. However, the standard method is done by way of PennDOT
and regional municipalities submitting projects to the FCMPO. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
reviews the draft listing to approve, deny, or recommend other funding resources. The TAC makes a
recommendation to the MPO Policy Board, which then makes a motion to approve or deny the document.
Municipalities were contacted on 5/25/2023 by MPO staff to solicit their traffic safety and improvement
concerns. Staff met with Waynesboro and Chambersburg Boroughs and sent a list of municipal concerns to
PennDOT District 8-0 for consideration into the FY 2025-2028 TIP. The TAC and Policy Board were provided
copies of the Draft FY 2025-2028 in the May Policy Board Meeting, and the April TAC meeting. All meetings
had a presentation and time allotted for questions. TAC and Policy Board voting members had no objections
against the proposed project listing.
TIP PROJECT PRIORITIZATION PROCESS
The following criteria for the prioritization of transportation projects were developed during the development of
the Long Range Transportation Plan. These criteria are published as part of the Action Plan in the final version
of the Long Range Transportation Plan which can be found at www.franklincountylrtp.com.
Criteria for the Prioritization of Transportation Projects:
Consistency with County Goals and Objectives (project aligns with county goals/policies)
Consistency with Local Goals and Objectives (project aligns with local goals/policies)
Local Commitment (project is supported through local resources)
System Preservation (project helps meet optimal replacement cycle for asset maintenance)
Environment (the potential impact of project on natural and manmade environments)
Social Impact
Air Quality
Natural Resources
Accessibility and Mobility (project facilitates improved movement of people and freight)
System Management and Operation
Integration and Connectivity
Providing New Capacity
Safety and Security (project improves safety and/or security)
Economic Vitality (the impact a project has on the ability to provide jobs or economic benefit)
The role of the MPO is to continually monitor the funding available through the TIP and the evaluation criteria
adopted during the development of the LRTP to match project proposals to address transportation system needs
within the available funding. The use of these criteria as improvement proposals to compete for available
funding helps ensure that the Franklin County TIP will continue to meet the goals and objectives of the LRTP,
address the federally-mandated planning factors, and address the asset management approach to programming as
set by PennDOT. The LRTP update was adopted in April 2023.
PennDOT District 8-0 Bridge and Roadway Project Prioritization Process for 2025-2028 TIP
Bridge
State and Federal policy has shifted in recent years from an emphasis on “reducing the number of structurally
deficient bridges” (i.e. worst-first replacements) to an emphasis on obtaining “Lowest Lifecycle Cost” (LLC). In
response to this policy shift, District 8-0 direction for the 2025 TIP update and beyond will be also be switching
from programming bridge candidates in a “worst-first” ranking over to a Lowest Lifecycle Cost (LLC) ranking.
Through a comprehensive exercise the District 8-0 Bridge Unit analyzed the entire state-owned bridge network
in District 8-0. During the review of state-owned bridges, the Bridge Unit determined that a number of current
bridge projects on the Twelve-Year Program (TYP) could be re-scoped as preservations to follow the LLC
approach and provide additional capacity for future funding.
PennDOT’s Bridge Asset Management (BAMS) Tool is named Bridge Care and seeks to develop a LLC program
weight according to Bridge Risk Score. The Bridge Risk Score Calculation is shown below and can best be
thought of as a bridge “importance score” primarily based on the size of the bridge and the amount of traffic
using it. This software, along with extensive manual review of potential candidates, was used to determine the
bridge candidates to submit to the MPO’s for consideration in the 2025 Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP) update. After the MPO’s received the candidates from District 8-0, they compared them to their scoring
process to see how they ranked against their bridge priorities for programming.
Pavement
District 8-0 utilized data from the Roadway Management System (RMS) along with input from our County
Maintenance Managers to identify our TIP and A-409 pavement candidates for the 2025 TIP update. Both our
District Maintenance Services Manager and District Maintenance Program Manager analyzed segments of
roadway on our four business plan networks based on International Roughness Index (IRI), Overall Pavement
Index (OPI), Average Daily Traffic (ADT), Average Daily Truck Traffic (ADTT) and last year of resurfacing. The
County Maintenance Manager identified pavement priorities for their county and shared the list with our
District Maintenance Services Manager and District Maintenance Program Manager, which were compared
with the RMS data to identify the candidates for the A- team rides.
County A-Team rides were conducted including the following staff: District Executive, Assistant District
Executive-Design and Maintenance, District Maintenance Services Manager, District Maintenance Program
Manager District Highway Design Engineer, District Traffic Engineer, and County Maintenance Manager. The A-
Team ride provides the District staff within person knowledge of the priorities to help determine the needs.
Maintenance Staff then conducted a meeting to discuss the priorities and funding availability from both
maintenance and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) with the Planning and Programming Manager.
Projects deemed to be more appropriate for TIP Funding were shared with the MPO for funding consideration.
A-409 considered projects were also shared with the MPO for any specific feedback.

APPENDIX A: Regionally Significant Project List (Franklin County)
Executive Summary
As part of its transportation planning process, the Franklin County Metropolitan
Planning Organization (FCMPO) completed the transportation conformity process
for the 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the 2045 Long
Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). This report documents that the TIP and LRTP
meets the federal transportation conformity requirements in 40 CFR Part 93. Note
that conformity for the LRTP is being reaffirmed, and there are no changes to the
LRTP.
Clean Air Act (CAA) section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) requires that federally funded
or approved highway and transit activities are consistent with (“conform to”) the
purpose of the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Conformity to the purpose of the
SIP means that transportation activities will not cause or contribute to new air quality
violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant
NAAQS or any interim milestones. EPA’s transportation conformity rules establish
the criteria and procedures for determining whether metropolitan transportation
plans, TIPs, and federally supported highway and transit projects conform to the SIP.
On February 16, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit in South Coast Air Quality Mgmt. District v. EPA (“South Coast II,” 882 F.3d
1138) held that transportation conformity determinations must be made in areas that
were either nonattainment or maintenance for the 1997 ozone national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS) and attainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS when the
1997 ozone NAAQS was revoked. These conformity determinations are required in
these areas after February 16, 2019. Franklin County was maintenance at the time of
the 1997 ozone NAAQS revocation on April 6, 2015 and was also designated
attainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS on May 21, 2012. Therefore, per the South
Coast II decision, this conformity determination is being made for the 1997 ozone
NAAQS.
This conformity determination was completed consistent with CAA requirements,
existing associated regulations at 40 CFR Parts 51.390 and 93, and the South Coast II
decision, according to EPA’s Transportation Conformity Guidance for the South Coast II
Court Decision issued on November 29, 2018.
1.0 Background
1.1 Transportation Conformity Process
The concept of transportation conformity was introduced in the CAA of 1977,
which included a provision to ensure that transportation investments conform to
a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for meeting the Federal air quality standards.
Conformity requirements were made substantially more rigorous in the CAA
Amendments of 1990. The transportation conformity regulations that detail
implementation of the CAA requirements were first issued in November 1993,
and have been amended several times. The regulations establish the criteria and
procedures for transportation agencies to demonstrate that air pollutant
emissions from metropolitan transportation plans, transportation improvement
programs and projects are consistent with (“conform to”) the State’s air quality
goals in the SIP. This document has been prepared for State and local officials
who are involved in decision making on transportation investments.
Transportation conformity is required under CAA Section 176(c) to ensure that
Federally-supported transportation activities are consistent with (“conform to”)
the purpose of a State’s SIP. Transportation conformity establishes the framework
for improving air quality to protect public health and the environment.
Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding and approvals are
given to highway and transit activities that will not cause new air quality
violations, worsen existing air quality violations, or delay timely attainment of
the relevant air quality standard, or any interim milestone.
1.2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The CAA requires the EPA to set NAAQS for pollutants considered harmful to
public health and the environment. A nonattainment area is any area that does
not meet the primary or secondary NAAQS. Once a nonattainment area meets
the standards and additional redesignation requirements in the CAA [Section
107(d)(3)(E)], EPA will designate the area as a maintenance area.
Franklin County is currently designated as a maintenance area under the 1997 8-
hour ozone NAAQS. The county is in attainment of the 2008 and 2015 8-hour
ozone, 2006 24-hour PM2.5 and 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. Transportation
conformity requires nonattainment and maintenance areas to demonstrate that all
future transportation projects will not prevent an area from reaching its air
quality attainment goals.
1997 8-hour Ozone NAAQS
The EPA published the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38856),
with an effective date of September 16, 1997. An area was in nonattainment of
the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS if the 3-year average of the individual fourth
highest air quality monitor readings, averaged over 8 hours throughout the day,
exceeded the NAAQS of 0.08 parts per million (ppm). On May 21, 2013, the EPA
published a rule revoking the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, for the purposes of
transportation conformity, effective one year after the effective date of the 2008 8-
hour ozone NAAQS area designations (77 FR 30160).
On February 16, 2018 the D.C. Circuit reached a decision in South Coast Air
Quality Management District v. EPA, Case No. 15-1115. In that decision, the court
vacated major portions of the final rule that established procedures for
transitioning from the 1997 ozone NAAQS to the stricter 2008 ozone NAAQS. By
court decision, Franklin County was designated as an “orphan” maintenance area
since the area was maintenance for the 1997 ozone NAAQS at the time of its
revocation (80 FR 12264, March 6, 2015) and was designated attainment for the
2008 NAAQS in EPA’s original designations for this NAAQS (77 FR 30160, May
21, 2012).
2008 and 2015 8-hour Ozone NAAQS
The EPA published the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS on March 27, 2008 (73 FR
16436), with an effective date of May 27, 2008. EPA revised the ozone NAAQS by
strengthening the standard to 0.075 ppm. Thus, an area is in nonattainment of
the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS if the 3-year average of the individual fourth
highest air quality monitor readings, averaged over 8 hours throughout the day,
exceeds the NAAQS of 0.075 ppm. Franklin County was designated as an
attainment area under the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS, effective July 20, 2012 (77
FR 30088).
In October 2015, based on its review of the air quality criteria for ozone and
related photochemical oxidants, the EPA revised the primary and secondary
NAAQS for ozone to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare,
respectively (80 FR 65292). The EPA revised the levels of both standards to 0.070
ppm, and retained their indicators, forms (fourth-highest daily maximum,
averaged across three consecutive years) and averaging times (eight hours).
Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA administrator is required to make all
attainment designations within two years after a final rule revising the NAAQS is
published. Franklin County is in attainment of the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
2.0 FCMPO TIP and LRTP
MPOs and Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) each develop a TIP at the local
level, which reflects the first four years of the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) Twelve Year Program (TYP). The Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) covers the entire state and includes
the individual TIPs representing each Planning Partner. Federal Law requires
TIPs to be updated at least every four years. Pennsylvania’s MPOs and RPOs
update their TIPs every two years during the TYP update process.
The LRTP serves as the official transportation plan for a metropolitan area. The
LRTP documents the current and future transportation demand and identifies
long-term improvements and projects to meet those needs. The LRTP was
adopted by the FCMPO on April 6, 2023 and guides decision-making about
transportation improvements in the county. The planning factors specified in
federal regulations provide the framework for developing the LRTP. In addition,
PennDOT provides guidance to help MPOs prepare LRTPs, and local policies and
plans play a role in LRTP development to ensure transportation investments
address current and future needs. The Franklin County LRTP includes projects
from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Twelve Year
Program (TYP).
The February 16, 2018, South Coast vs. EPA Court decision did not vacate EPA’s
revocation of the 1997 ozone standard and the decision does not change the area’s
attainment status. Therefore, while such areas might be required to meet
conformity requirements as part of anti-backsliding controls, such areas are not
considered nonattainment or maintenance areas under the Transportation
Planning Rule (23 CFR 450.104). Such areas continue to complete 5-year plan
update cycles as described in 23 CFR 450.324(c). The 5-year metropolitan
transportation plan update cycle continues to apply from the date of the most
recent MPO metropolitan transportation plan adoption (not the most recent
FHWA/FTA conformity determination). While these areas have a 5-year plan
cycle for transportation planning purposes, as a result of the court decision they
must still meet the 4-year frequency requirements for conformity determinations
on TIPs and LRTPs as required by 40 CFR 93.104.
Appendix A provides a listing of the regional significant projects that are funded
in the TIP and LRTP within Franklin County. Regionally significant projects
include transportation projects (other than exempt projects as defined under 40
CFR 93.126-127) that are on a facility which serves regional transportation needs.
3.0 Transportation Conformity Process
Per the court’s decision in South Coast II, beginning February 16, 2019, a
transportation conformity determination for the 1997 ozone NAAQS will be
needed in 1997 ozone NAAQS nonattainment and maintenance areas identified
by EPA4 for certain transportation activities, including updated or amended TIPs
and LRTPs. Once US DOT makes its 1997 ozone NAAQS conformity
determination, conformity will be required no less frequently than every four
years. This conformity determination report addresses transportation conformity
for the FCMPO 2025-2028 TIP and 2045 LRTP.
4.0 Transportation Conformity Requirements
4 The areas identified can be found in EPA’s “Transportation Conformity Guidance for the South Coast II Court Decision, EPA-420-B-18-
050, available on the web at: www.epa.gov/state-and-local-transportation/policy-and-technical-guidance-state-and-local-
transportation .
4.1 Overview
On November 29, 2018, EPA issued Transportation Conformity Guidance for
the South Coast II Court Decision5 (EPA-420-B-18-050, November 2018) that
addresses how transportation conformity determinations can be made in areas
that were nonattainment or maintenance for the 1997 ozone NAAQS when the
1997 ozone NAAQS was revoked, but were designated attainment for the 2008
ozone NAAQS in EPA’s original designations for this NAAQS (May 21, 2012).
The transportation conformity regulation at 40 CFR 93.109 sets forth the criteria
and procedures for determining conformity. The conformity criteria for TIPs and
LRTPs include: latest planning assumptions (93.110), latest emissions model
(93.111), consultation (93.112), transportation control measures (93.113(b) and (c),
and emissions budget and/or interim emissions (93.118 and/or 93.119).
For the 1997 ozone NAAQS areas, transportation conformity for TIPs and LRTPs
for the 1997 ozone NAAQS can be demonstrated without a regional emissions
analysis, per 40 CFR 93.109(c). This provision states that the regional emissions
analysis requirement applies one year after the effective date of EPA’s
nonattainment designation for a NAAQS and until the effective date of
revocation of such NAAQS for an area. The 1997 ozone NAAQS revocation was
effective on April 6, 2015, and the South Coast II court upheld the revocation. As
no regional emission analysis is required for this conformity determination, there
is no requirement to use the latest emissions model, or budget or interim
emissions tests.
Therefore, transportation conformity for the 1997 ozone NAAQS can be
demonstrated by showing the remaining requirements in Table 1 in 40 CFR
93.109 have been met. These requirements, which are laid out in Section 2.4 of
EPA’s guidance and addressed below, include:
Latest planning assumptions (93.110)
Consultation (93.112)
Transportation Control Measures (93.113)
Fiscal constraint (93.108)
4.2 Latest Planning Assumptions
The use of latest planning assumptions in 40 CFR 93.110 of the conformity rule
generally applies to a regional emissions analysis. In the 1997 ozone NAAQS
areas, the use of latest planning assumptions requirement applies to assumptions
about transportation control measures (TCMs) in an approved SIP. However, the
5 Available from Policy and Technical Guidance for State and Local Transportation | US EPA
Franklin County SIP maintenance plan does not include any TCMs.
4.3 Consultation Requirements
The consultation requirements in 40 CFR 93.112 were addressed both for
interagency consultation and public consultation.
As required by the federal transportation conformity rule, the conformity process
includes a significant level of cooperative interaction among federal, state, and
local agencies. For this air quality conformity analysis, interagency consultation
was conducted as required by the Pennsylvania Conformity SIP. This included
conference call(s) or meeting(s) of the Pennsylvania Transportation-Air Quality
Work Group (including the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT), DEP, EPA, FHWA, FTA and representatives from larger MPOs
within the state).
A meeting was conducted on February 7, 2024 to review all planning
assumptions and to discuss the template and content for transportation
conformity analyses in 1997 ozone orphan areas.
The TIP, LRTP and associated conformity determination has undergone the
public participation requirements as well as the comment and response
requirements according to the procedures established in compliance with 23 CFR
part 450, FCMPO’s Public Participation Plan, and Pennsylvania's Conformity SIP.
The draft conformity document was made available for a 30-day public review
and comment period beginning on April 10th, which included a public meeting.
4.4 Fiscal Constraint
The planning regulations, Sections 450.324(f)(11) and 450.326(j), require the
transportation plan to be financially constrained while the existing transportation
system is being adequately operated and maintained. Only projects for which
construction and operating funds are reasonably expected to be available are
included. The FCMPO, in conjunction with PennDOT, FHWA and FTA, has
developed an estimate of the cost to maintain and operate existing roads, bridges
and transit systems in the region and have compared the cost with the estimated
revenues and maintenance needs of the new roads over the same period. The
FCMPO TIP and LRTP has been determined to be financially constrained.
5.0 Conclusion
The conformity determination process completed for the FCMPO TIP and LRTP
demonstrates that these planning documents meet the Clean Air Act and
Transportation Conformity rule requirements for the 1997 ozone NAAQS.

Introduction
The public involvement efforts for the Department of Transportation are guided by several
federal mandates to ensure nondiscrimination in federally funded activities. These mandates
are designed so that planning and public involvement activities are conducted equitably and
in consideration of all citizens, regardless of race, nationality, sex, age, ability, language
spoken, or economic status. These mandates include:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Title VI of the Civil Rights Act states that "No
person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination
under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." PennDOT and its
partners are committed to providing open and inclusive access to the transportation
decision-making process for all persons, regardless of race, color or national origin.
Executive Order on Environmental Justice (Executive Order 12898 February 11, 1994) -
Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people
regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
PennDOT and its partners are committed to providing opportunities for full and fair
participation by minority and low- income communities in the transportation decision-
making process.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
stipulates involving persons with disabilities in the development and improvement of
services. Sites of public involvement activities as well as the information presented must be
accessible to persons with disabilities. PennDOT and its partners are committed to providing
full access to public involvement programs and information for persons with disabilities. All
public meetings are held in ADA-accessible locations. With advance notice, special
provisions can be made for hearing-impaired or visually-impaired participants.
Executive Order on Limited English Proficiency - Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access
to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency," was signed on August 11, 2000.
Recipients of federal funding "are required to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful
access to programs and activities by LEP person." PennDOT and its partners will make special
arrangements for the provision of interpretative services upon request.
Franklin County MPO 2025-2028 TIP Environmental Justice Analysis
FHWA recently introduced the Environmental Justice Core Elements Methodology to ensure an MPO/RPO can meaningfully assess the
benefits and burdens of plans and programs. PennDOT and the Franklin County MPO are committed to following the Core Elements
approach, which includes:
Avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects, including social and
economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations.
Ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process.
Prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority populations and low-income
populations.
By integrating the Core Elements into the planning process, state and local agencies are better equipped to carry out the investment
strategy and project selection. The EJ process should be comprehensive and continuous with each task informing and cycling back to
influence the next step.
Identifying Minority and Low-Income Populations
In development of the 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the Franklin County MPO conducted an Environmental
Justice Benefits and Burdens analysis. A distributive geographic analysis was conducted to identify the locations and concentrations of
minority, low-income and other Traditionally Underserved Populations (TUP).
The identification of these populations is essential to establishing effective strategies for engaging them in the transportation planning
process. When meaningful opportunities for interaction are established, the transportation planning process can effectively draw upon
the perspectives of communities to identify existing transportation needs, localized deficiencies, and the demand for transportation
services. Mapping of these populations not only provides a baseline for assessing impacts of the transportation investment program, but
also aids in the development of an effective public involvement program.
Minority population is defined as any readily identifiable group of Black, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian, and Alaskan Native
who live in geographic proximity and who would be similarly affected by a proposed FHWA program, policy, or activity. Low-income
population is defined as any readily identifiable group of persons at or below the Department of Health and Human Services poverty
guidelines who live in a geographic proximity who would be similarly affected by a proposed FHWA program, policy, or activity.
As shown in Table 1, based on the 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) data, minority persons in Franklin County are 13.44
percent of the total population. The number of persons in poverty is just over 9 percent of the total county population.

Table 2 identifies the total population by race and low-Income category. Based on those numbers, Figure 1 highlights the poverty rate for
each racial/ethnic group. The White, Non-Hispanic category has the highest population and most individuals that are low-Income,
however, the overall poverty percentage of this group is only about 8.9 percent, which is just below the county average of 9.13 percent.
In contrast, roughly 22 percent of the Hispanic population and nearly 24 percent of ‘some other race alone’ are estimated to be
impoverished.
Figure 2 shows the concentrations of minority populations by Census “block groups” based on 2017-2021 ACS data. Figure 3 shows the
concentrations of households below the poverty county average by Census block groups, also based on 2017-2021 ACS data.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT
In order to meaningfully analyze benefits and adverse effects of the transportation program, the
MPO has examined the existing conditions of transportation assets throughout the region and safety
performance measures among the minority and low-income populations. These data assessments
allow the MPO to track changes in crashes, poor condition bridges, and poor pavement mileage in
the region and identify safety gaps and distribution disparities between minority and low-income
populations. An explanation of methodology can be found on Page 16.
Tables 3 and 4 provide the number and percentage of bridges by condition and by the concentration
of minority and low-income population. Franklin County currently has 50 bridges in poor condition.
Of those bridges, 16 are located within block groups that exceed the minority average for the county
of 13.44 percent. Similarly, 24 of the poor condition bridges are within block groups that exceed the
poverty average for the county of 9.13% percent.
Based on the available conditions data, there is not a disproportionate number of poor- conditioned
bridges in areas with higher concentrations of minority or low-Income populations.
Please note: Some features within an interval may be counted more than once because they’re on a boundary for Tables 3-
10.

Tables 5 and 6 show the number and percentage of bicycle and pedestrian-related crashes in Franklin
County from 2017-2021. Of the total crashes, 19 crashes occurred in high minority block groups while
23 crashes occurred in high poverty block groups. This information shows that there is a
disproportionate number of bicycle and pedestrian-related crashes occurring in block groups with a
higher population of low-income and minority populations. This may be expected as the high
minority and low-income populations are located in the urbanized areas where non-motorized
transportation is more prevalent.

Tables 7 through 10 identify the number and percentage of roadways with poor or excellent
International Roughness Index (IRI) within minority and low-income population block group intervals.
This information shows that there is not a disproportionate amount of poor condition pavement in
block groups with a higher population of low-income and minority populations.
There is only 4.65% of poor pavement distribution in minority populations and 4.91% poor pavement
distribution in poverty populations. The data does show small mileage numbers for excellent
condition pavement in areas with high minority population. This could mean that a majority of
roadways in these areas are identified as Good or Fair condition. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate low
income and minority populations in relation to the Federal Aid System.

Franklin County MPO 2025-2028 TIP Environmental Justice Analysis
BENEFITS & BURDENS: 2025-2028 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Franklin County MPO reviewed transportation projects located in areas that were determined to
be “high minority” or “high in-poverty.” “High minority”, for the purpose of this analysis, refers to
Census block groups that have a concentration of minority persons that is greater than or equal to the
county average of 13.44 percent. “High in-poverty” refers to Census block groups that have a
concentration of low-income persons that is greater than or equal to the county average of 9.13
percent.
When evaluating the potential benefit or burden of a project, it should be noted that each type of
project has a unique set of impacts and will affect individual populations differently. For example,
maintenance projects tend to cause the least amount of impact on the population since they typically
involve highway resurfacing or repaving work on existing roadways. Although these projects can cause
delayed travel time and transit service, traffic detours, and work zone noise and debris, the projects
are typically shorter in duration and result in improvements to the functionality of the roadway
network by providing smoother driving surfaces and new roadway markings. While most bridge
projects are identified as either a rehabilitation or replacement, both types of projects can lend itself
to significant traffic detours, traffic delay, and noise. However, the benefits of these types of
improvements result in safer bridge structures, improved roadway conditions and updated signage.
Capacity projects, which can involve the addition of new lanes to existing roadways, new roadways to
the existing network, or at times the realignment of intersections or interchanges, in an effort to
provide for more traffic mobility. Special attention needs to be made when planning capacity projects,
especially to low-income and minority populations. Not only can these projects result in right-of-way
acquisitions to account for the additional capacity, but also construction impacts are normally more
severe due to longer construction periods, travel pattern shifts, and delayed travel times among
others. The consequences of the completion of capacity projects can involve the loss of property,
increased traffic volumes, and decreased air quality, while other benefits can include improved transit
service time, decreased travel delay, and safer roadway conditions which will result in improved
quality of life for all residents and users of the roadway system.
On the 2025-2028 Franklin County TIP, the number of projects in minority or low-income areas is lower
than the number of projects located in non-minority and non-low-income areas. Projects included
consist of signalization improvements, a new interchange, bridge preservation, bridge replacements,
and intersection improvements. Figure 6 illustrates 2025- 2028 TIP projects throughout Franklin
County.

Prepared by Emily Kelkis, Planner on 10/30/2023 for FY2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).
Agency Profile
Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (SRTA), doing business as rabbittransit in York
County, Pennsylvania, provides fixed route transit service in York and Adams counties and the
Capital Region of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. rabbittransit also services public shared ride in
Adams, Cumberland, Columbia, Dauphin, Franklin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder,
Union, and York Counties. In 2011, York County merged with Adams County to form York Adams
County Transportation Authority. The merger resulted in a board comprised of four Adams
County and five York County representatives. FTA continues to provide 5307 funding to the York
Adams County Transportation Authority. Since 2011, three counties have joined the authority
and five have signed on to manage the shared ride program, creating the Central Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (CPTA). January 1, 2022 CPTA and Capital Area Transit (CAT) have joined
together to create the Susquehanna Regional Transportation Authority (SRTA). In FY23, CPTA and
CAT are reporting together as SRTA.
SRTA operates under the authority of the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Act of 1945.

Useful Life Benchmark – Revenue Vehicles
Description
SRTA directly owns and operates rolling stock that operated in the MB DO, MB PT, CB DO, CB PT,
DR DO, and DR PT service groups. The separation of MB DO, MB PT and CB DO, CB PT occurred
January 1, 2022. As of the end of FY2023, the agency had 545 active rolling stock assets across
several vehicle type classifications as broken down in the table below.
Vehicle Type Type Description Assets At/ Past ULB
AB AB – Articulated Bus 3 3
BR BR – Over-the-road Bus 13 5
BU BU – Bus 105 8
CU CU – Cutaway 365 19
MV MV – Minivan 6 2
VN VN – Van 53 12
Target Setting & Rationale
In accordance with the agency TAM Plan, SRTA utilizes a realistic target for rolling stock. SRTA
has defined a target of 10% for 2023. The CNG transition has concluded for fixed route (MB), but
remains a consideration for the commuter (CB) replacements in the next several years. Other
considerations relative to CNG is the potential expansion or use for shared ride or fixed route
cutaway purposes, as fueling capabilities and range of these units has improved. Within the last
several years SRTA has largely replaced it’s entire MB diesel fleet. However, with the COVID-19
pandemic there has been slower than usual replacement cycles for vehicles in both the lead time
for new vehicles and the turn around time for disposal of retired assets.
While the expansion of demand response (DR) service has curbed slightly due to the workforce
and vehicle replacement challenges, it remains a part of the delay of certain fleet group
replacements. This is especially relative to the desire to right-size the demand response (DR) fleet
for CDL and non-CDL purposes to improve our hiring capabilities in consideration of the reduced
ridership due to COVID-19.
Progress & Challenges
As of the FY2023 report cycle, SRTA revenue assets categories, as a total of all groups, has
achieved the goal of 10% at 8.99%
SRTA saw a significant improvement in the BU – Bus category from FY2021 and FY2022’s
reporting. Where this was previously an area of high past ULB percentage, the BU – Bus category
achieved a zero (0) percent past ULB with the finalization of the fixed route (FR) heavy duty asset
replacements. CPTA also saw improvement in the CU – Cutaway and VN – Van categories as

Service Safety Stewardship
415 Zarfoss Drive, York, PA 17404 T: 1-800-632-9063 F: 717-848-4853 www.rabbittransit.org
various assets past ULB have been replaced in these pools with more appropriately sized non-
CDL assets per the above concerns.
The areas where there are still opportunities for improvement are in the asset categories with
the lowest volume of total vehicles. While their percentages appear significant, they are a
relatively low volume of the overall revenue fleet. These include the AB – Articulated Bus, BR –
Over-the-road Bus, VN – Van, and MV – Minivan. Of the total fleet, these asset categories only
make up seventy-five (75) of five hundred twenty-six (526), or 14.3% of the fleet. The reason for
the delay in their replacement has been shortages in microchips for relevant Ford Transits,
specifically for the MV and VN groups. In relation to the BR issues, SRTA is delaying the
replacement of a few of these assets due to concerns over COVID-19 recovery and the potential
reduction in fleet based on demand for these services. These BR assets have traditionally been
used for commuter services, which have seen the most dramatic reduction in ridership activity
since the first impacts of COVID-19 were felt in March 2020. SRTA anticipates the replacement
delays, once resolved, and the determination as to the right-sizing of the commuter fleet will
maintain these assets appropriately in line with the 10% target for all asset category groups.
Useful Life Benchmark – Non-Revenue Vehicles
Description
SRTA owns and operates an array of non-revenue Automobiles and Trucks and other Rubber Tire
Vehicles. These vehicles are utilized for driver relief and transportation, maintenance work, and
as administrative support assets. SRTA has not identified any equipment in the classification of
maintenance equipment that independently meets the requirements of the TAM. The below
table identifies the types of assets that fall within this category and totals.
Vehicle Type Type Description Assets At/Past ULB
EQP Automobiles 20 12
EQP Trucks and other Rubber Tire Vehicles 18 16
Target Setting & Rationale
In accordance with the agency TAM Plan, SRTA utilizes a target of 25% for equipment. This is
largely because the default ULB for is eight (8) years for Automobiles, fourteen (14) years for
Trucks, and fourteen (14) years for other Rubber Tire Vehicles. As SRTA does not desire to adjust
default ULB during the first few years of the plan implementation it recognizes that support
vehicles have historically been held for at least ten (10) years based on PennDOT’s Estimated
Service Life (ESL) requirements. This would result in this class of vehicles being held at least two
years beyond the default ULB in standard capital planning.

Service Safety Stewardship
415 Zarfoss Drive, York, PA 17404 T: 1-800-632-9063 F: 717-848-4853 www.rabbittransit.org
Progress & Challenges
As noted, SRTA identifies that the default ULB of Automobiles is less than the ESL as defined by
PennDOT, who is the primary funding partner for these capital replacements. In accordance with
that minimum, SRTA will tend to hold assets longer than ULB by two years. If consolidating all
EQP, SRTA is just above the 25% aspirational target with ten (10) of thirty-eight (38) assets, or
26.3% at or past ULB. This is based on a delayed retirement of some of the sedans as
replacements came in from last year. They are anticipated to be disposed in the near-term and
should bring the agency into consistency with this 25% target.
Useful Life Benchmark – Facilities
Description
CPTA operates a collection of administrative, passenger, and parking facilities as necessary to
provide services across several counties and to improve passenger access and connectivity. The
below table identifies the classification of facilities operated by CPTA and total per each group.
Vehicle Type Type Description Assets At/Past ULB
FAC Passenger / Parking Facilities 4 0
FAC Administrative / Maintenance Facilities 4 1
This list is inclusive of two (2) park and rides, four (4) administrative / maintenance offices, and
two (2) transfer centers. While SRTA coordinates counties operate out of regional offices, they
are operated out of county-owned facilities and offices and are not owned or the direct capital
responsibility of SRTA.
Target Setting & Rationale
Facilities are measured differently in accordance with SRTA’s TAM Plan and guidance. They are
measured against the Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) scale. Any facility falling
below three (3) of five (5) is considered past ULB. At current, SRTA is fortunate in that the majority
of its facilities are new or have recently undergone renovation in the last decade. At current SRTA
has a realistic goal, in accordance with its TAM Plan, of 0%.
Progress & Challenges
The King Street Transfer Station has finished renovation during FY2022. This renovation was
largely for improvements to safety and facility design challenges rather than meeting the TERM
scale requirement. The Harrisburg Admin/Maintenance Facility was built in 1904, and has had a
number of updates over the years. This facility is slated for replacement within the nex several
years and is anticipated to bring the facility performance to 0% past SOGR status.Continued
annual assessment will be done to ensure that no unanticipated or major changes occur, but
otherwise this category is achieving the realistic goal at this time.

Factors Impacting Transit Agency’s Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan
As denoted in the rolling stock category, the transition to a CNG fleet, specifically among the BU – Bus
vehicle type, has impacted and delayed replacement of vehicles proximate to lifecycle end and ULB.
However, the majority of those assets exceeding ULB in the MB DO category have been replaced, bringing
the revenue assets group closer to the 10% target. Across the board, some of the remaining difficulities in
aligning with the ULB thresholds can be contributed to delays in disposal of assets relative to the COVID-19
pandemic, making sale of aged assets slower than traditionally achieved. Nonetheless, SRTA has been able
to finalize disposition of these assets through public sales. Another major factor that is tied to the pandemic
has been the material supply shortages in relation to both parts and asset replacements. The parts supply
chain issue has created delays in repairs and slowed the agency’s capabilities to add the appropriate
mileages to select assets to dispose of them timely. On the other side, the significant increase in lead time
from design to acceptance of new rolling stock relative to the microchip shortage, among other parts, has
created replacement delays as well. Otherwise the ongoing assessment of CNG for other assets such as
cutaways, etc. are ongoing factors in the replacement cycle delays. All of these items considered, SRTA has
been successful in improving the percentage of fleet within the ULB and SOGR.
Operational factors include the shortage of workforce and CDL operators. This has had an impact on our fleet
capacity and replacement planning, which has resulted in delayed asset retirements as well. While the
desire to replace vehicles with like-size capacity to meet service need is present, the reality of the job
market has caused delays as operational approaches are discussed and revised. Further, COVID-19 has
added complexity to this future planning process.

Appendix M
Franklin County Memorandum of Understanding
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Procedures for 2025-
2028 Transportation Improvement Program and Transportation
Improvement Program Revisions
Background
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Franklin County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (FCMPO) the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) establishes procedures to be used in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for processing revisions to the 2025-2028 Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is the aggregation of FCMPO local, state, and federal funds
allotted for specific projects within limits of financial constraint based on a four-year federal fiscal period.
The TIP is consistent with FCMPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which includes projects
that go on to address safety and congestion concerns, highway/bridge maintenance projects,
bicycle/pedestrian projects, and freight-related improvements.
The TIP is the official transportation improvement program document mandated by federal
statute 23 CFR 450.326 and recognized by PennDOT, FHWA and FTA. The TIP includes a list of
projects to be implemented over a four-year period as well as all supporting documentation required by
state and federal statute, and is submitted to the State to contribute to the overall State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP includes regional TIPs developed by the MPOs and RPOs, the
PennDOT developed Interstate Management (IM) Program and other Statewide Programs (PennDOT
works with Wayne County to develop the Wayne County Independent TIP). Statewide Programs are
coordinated initiatives, projects or funds that are managed by PennDOT’s Central Office on a statewide
basis. Examples of Statewide Programs include, but are not limited to, the Secretary of Transportation’s
Discretionary (Spike), the Major Bridge Public Private Partnership (MBP3) Program, the Rapid Bridge
Replacement (RBR) Project developed via a Public Private Partnership (P3), Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) set-a-side, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula
Program, Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety (RRX), Surface Transportation Block Grant Program set-
a-side (TAP) funds, Green-Light-Go (GLG), Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE), Multi-Modal
(MTF), Recreational (Rec) Trails, Transportation Infrastructure Investment Fund (TIIF), Statewide
Transit and Keystone Corridor projects. The Interstate Management Program will remain its own
individual program and includes prioritized statewide Interstate projects. The Commonwealth’s 12-Year
Program (TYP), required by state law (Act 120 of 1970), includes the STIP/TIPs in the first four-year
period. The TYP is not covered by Federal statute. Therefore, this MOU covers revisions only to the
STIP/TIP.
For more information on the development of the STIP/TIP, see Pennsylvania’s 2025
Transportation Program General and Procedural Guidance and Pennsylvania’s 2025 Transportation
Program Financial Guidance. These documents were both released on April 19th, 2023 and can be found
on the https://www.talkpatransportation.com/how-it-works/stip on the STC Website under 2025 Guidance
Documents.
TIP Administration
FHWA and FTA will only authorize projects and approve grants for projects that are programmed
in the current approved TIP. If the FCMPO, transit agency, or PennDOT wishes to proceed with a
federally funded project not programmed on the TIP, a revision must be made.
The federal statewide and metropolitan planning regulations contained in 23 CFR 450 govern the
provisions for revisions of the FCMPO TIP. The intent of this federal regulation is to acknowledge the
relative significance, importance, and/or complexity of individual programming amendments and
administrative modifications. If necessary, 23 CFR 450.328 permits the use of alternative procedures by
the cooperating parties to effectively manage amendments and/or administrative modifications
encountered during a given TIP cycle. Cooperating parties include PennDOT, FCMPO, FHWA, FTA,
and transit agencies. Any alternative procedures must be agreed upon and documented in the TIP.
TIP revisions must be consistent with Pennsylvania’s Transportation Performance Management
(TPM) requirements, Pennsylvania’s Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and the Franklin County
LRTP. In addition, TIP revisions must support Pennsylvania’s Transportation Performance Measures, the
Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), the Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan, the
Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and Congestion Management Plan (CMP), as well as PennDOT’s
Connects policy. Over the years, Pennsylvania has utilized a comprehensive planning and programming
process that focuses on collaboration between PennDOT, FHWA, FTA, MPOs/RPOs, and transit
agencies at the county and regional levels. This approach will be applied to continue the implementation
of TPM and Performance Based Planning and Programming (PBPP). PBPP is PennDOT’s ongoing
assessment, target setting, reporting and evaluation of performance data associated with the TIP
investment decisions. This approach ensures that each dollar invested is being directed to meet strategic
objectives and enhances the overall performance of the Commonwealth’s transportation system.
TIP revisions must correspond to the adopted provisions of FCMPO’s Public Participation Plan
(PPP). A PPP is a documented broad-based public involvement process that describes how the MPO will
involve and engage the public and interested parties in the transportation planning process to ensure that
their comments, concerns, or issues are identified and addressed in the development of transportation
plans and programs. A reasonable opportunity for public review and comment shall be provided for
significant revisions to the TIP.
All projects within a nonattainment or maintenance area will be screened for Air Quality
significance. PennDOT will coordinate with FCMPO to screen projects for Air Quality significance. If a
revision adds a project, deletes a project, or impacts the schedule or scope of work of an air quality
significant project in a nonattainment or maintenance area, a new air quality conformity determination
will be required if deemed appropriate by the PennDOT Air Quality Interagency Consultation Group
(ICG). If a new conformity determination is deemed necessary, an amendment to the TIP shall also be
developed and approved by the FCMPO Board. The modified conformity determination should be based
on the amended TIP conformity analysis and follow public involvement procedures consistent with
FCMPO’s Public Participation Plan. Upon adoption of the revised conformity determination, air quality
resolution and amended TIP, FCMPO will then provide a formal request to PennDOT to submit the
determination to FHWA/FTA for their review and approval. FHWA and FTA will coordinate with EPA
to achieve concurrence and then subsequently issue a joint approval on the air quality conformity
determination.
The federal planning regulations, 23 CFR 450.324(a) & (c) and 23 CFR 450.330(c), define update
cycles for MPO/RPO LRTPs. Per 23 CFR 450.330(c), “Until the MPO approves (in attainment areas) or
the FHWA and the FTA issue a conformity determination on (in nonattainment and maintenance areas)
the updated metropolitan transportation plan, the MPO may not amend the TIP.” MPOs/RPOs in air
quality nonattainment and maintenance areas are required to update their LRTP every 4 years, and their
LRTP clock is reset with the joint FHWA/FTA air quality conformity action on their adopted plan. If the
LRTP in a nonattainment or maintenance area has expired due to lack of a conformity approval, the
MPO/RPO cannot amend the LRTP or TIP and the State cannot amend the affected portion of the STIP.
This includes any projects on the IM TIP or Statewide TIP occurring within the MPO/RPO area.
Accordingly, MPOs/RPOs in nonattainment or maintenance areas should allow at least 60-90 days
between Board adoption and their LRTP conformity expiration date to allow for the necessary federal
coordination and joint approval processes to be completed.
MPOs/RPOs in orphan maintenance or attainment areas are required to update their LRTP every
5 years, and their LRTP clock is reset with Board adoption of their plan. If an orphan maintenance or
attainment area MPO/RPO does not adopt their LRTP by the expiration deadline, their LRTP will expire.
During LRTP expiration, the MPO/RPO cannot amend the LRTP or TIP and the State cannot amend the
affected portion of the STIP.
Franklin County MPO TIP Revisions
In accordance with the federal transportation planning regulations 23 CFR 450, revisions to the
TIP will be handled as an Amendment or an Administrative Modification based on agreed upon
procedures detailed below.
An Amendment is a revision to the TIP that:
Affects air quality conformity regardless of the cost of the project or the funding source.
Adds a new federally funded project or federalizes a project that previously was 100% state
and/or locally funded. A new project is a project that is not programmed in the current TIP
and does not have previous Federal obligations.
Deletes a project that utilizes federal funds, except for projects that were fully obligated in the
previous TIP and no longer require funding. In this case, removal of the project will be
considered an administrative modification.
Adds a new phase(s), deletes a phase(s) or increases/decreases a phase(s) of an existing
project that utilizes federal funds where the total revision of federal funds exceeds $2 million
within the four years of the TIP.
o Federally funded Statewide Program projects are excluded from this provision and
follows the appropriate thresholds as expressed in the STIP MOU.
Involves a change in the scope of work to a project(s) that would:
o Result in an air quality conformity reevaluation.
o Result in a revised total project programmed amount that exceeds the thresholds
established between PennDOT and FCMPO;
o Result in a change in the scope of work on any federally funded project that is
significant enough to essentially constitute a new project.
Approval by the FCMPO Board is required for Amendments. FCMPO must then initiate
PennDOT Central Office approval using the eSTIP process. An eSTIP submission must include a Fiscal
Constraint Chart (FCC) that clearly summarizes the before amounts, requested adjustments, after change
amounts, and detailed comments explaining the reason for the adjustment(s), and provides any supporting
information that may have been prepared. The FCC documentation should include any administrative
modifications that occurred along with or were presented with this amendment at the FCMPO Board
meeting. The supporting documentation should include PennDOT Program Management Committee
(PMC) and Center for Program Development and Management (CPDM) items/materials, if available.
Before beginning the eSTIP process, FCMPO/District 0-8/CPDM staff should ensure that projects
involved in the eSTIP are meeting funding eligibility requirements and have the proper air quality
conformity status and region exempt codes (as appropriate) in PennDOT’s Multimodal Project
Management System (MPMS).
All revisions associated with an amendment, including any supporting administrative
modifications, should be shown on the same FCC, demonstrating both project and program fiscal
constraint. The identified grouping of projects (the entire action) will require review and/or approval by
the cooperating parties. In the case that a project phase is pushed out of the TIP period, FCMPO and
PennDOT will demonstrate, through a FCC, fiscal balance of the subject project phase in the second or
third four-year period of the TYP and/or the respective regional LRTP.
The initial submission and approval process of the Interstate Program and other federally funded
Statewide Programs and increases/decreases to these programs which exceed the thresholds above will be
considered an amendment and require approval by PennDOT and FHWA/FTA (subsequent placement of
these individual projects or line items on respective FCMPO TIPs will be considered an administrative
modification). In the case of Statewide Programs, including the IM Program and other federally funded
4
statewide programs, approval by PennDOT’s PMC and FHWA is required. Statewide managed transit
projects funded by FTA programs and delivered via Governor’s apportionment are selected by PennDOT
pursuant to the Pennsylvania State Management Plan approved by FTA. These projects will be
coordinated between FTA, PennDOT, the transit agency and FCMPO, and should be programmed within
the FCMPO TIP. These projects and the initial drawdown will be considered an amendment to the
Statewide Program.
An Administrative Modification is a minor revision to the TIP that:
Adds a new phase(s), deletes a phase(s) or increase/decreases a phase(s) of an existing project
that utilizes federal funds and does not exceed the thresholds established above.
Adds a project from a funding initiative or line item that utilizes 100 percent state or non-
federal funding;
Adds a project for emergency relief (ER) program, except those involving substantial
functional, location, or capacity changes;
Adds a project, with any federal funding source, for immediate emergency repairs to a
highway, bridge or transit project where in consultation with the relevant federal funding
agencies, the parties agree that any delay would put the health, safety, or security of the
public at risk due to damaged infrastructure.
Draws down or returns funding from an existing TIP reserve line item and does not exceed
the threshold established in the MOU between PennDOT and FCMPO. A reserve line item
holds funds that are not dedicated to a specific project(s) and may be used to cover cost
increases or add an additional project phase(s) to an existing project;
Adds federal or state capital funds from low-bid savings, de-obligations, release of
encumbrances, or savings on programmed phases to another programmed project phase or
line item and does not exceed the above thresholds;
Splits a project into two or more separate projects or combines two or more projects into one
project to facilitate project delivery without a change of scope or type of funding;
Adds, advances, or adjusts federal funding for a project utilizing August Redistribution
obligation authority based upon the documented August Redistribution Strategic Approach.
Administrative Modifications do not affect air quality conformity, nor involve a significant
change in the scope of work to a project(s) that would trigger an air quality conformity re-evaluation; do
not add a new federally-funded project or delete a federally-funded project; do not exceed the threshold
established in the MOU between PennDOT and FCMPO, or the threshold established by this MOU (as
detailed in the Amendment Section aforementioned); and do not result in a change in scope, on any
federally-funded project that is significant enough to essentially constitute a new project. A change in
scope is a substantial alteration to the original intent or function of a programmed project.
Administrative Modifications do not require federal approval. PennDOT and FCMPO will
work cooperatively to address and respond to any FHWA and/or FTA comment(s). FHWA and FTA
reserve the right to question any administrative modification that is not consistent with federal regulations
or with this MOU where federal funds are being utilized.
Transit – Funds Related to Prior–Year Unobligated Funds
This section relates to Federal Transit funds which have been programmed for obligation in a
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY), but which have not been obligated in an FTA grant in the current FFY. FTA
requires all funds to be shown in the year of obligation in compliance with 23 CFR 450.326(g). Federal
Transit funding – including Section 5307 and Section 5337 funds – which are apportioned and
programmed but not obligated in the year of programming may be shifted to the next FFY and considered
eligible as an Administrative Modification unless the project is undergoing significant changes as well.
Fiscal Constraint
5
Demonstration that TIP fiscal constraint is maintained takes place through an FCC. Real time
versions of the TIP are available to FHWA and FTA through MPMS. All revisions must maintain year-
to-year fiscal constraint, per 23 CFR 450.326(g)(j)&(k), for each of the four years of the TIP. All
revisions shall account for year of expenditure (YOE) and maintain the estimated total cost of the project
or project phase within the time-period [i.e., fiscal year(s)] contemplated for completion of the project,
which may extend beyond the four years of the TIP. The arbitrary reduction of the overall cost of a
project, or project phase(s), shall not be utilized for the advancement of another project.
TIP Financial Reporting
PennDOT will provide reports to FCMPO and FHWA no later than 30 days after the end of each
quarter and each FFY. At a minimum, this report will include the actual federal obligations and state
encumbrances for highway/bridge projects by FCMPO and Statewide. In addition, PennDOT will
provide the Transit Federal Capital Projects report at the end of each FFY to all of the parties listed above
and FTA. These reports can be used by FCMPO as the basis for compiling information to meet the
federal annual listing of obligated projects requirement in 23 CFR 450.334. Additional content and any
proposed changes to the report will be agreed upon by PennDOT, FHWA and FTA.
TIP Transportation Performance Management
In accordance with 23 CFR 450.326(c), PennDOT and FCMPO will ensure that TIP revisions
promote progress toward achievement of performance targets.
Statewide or Multi- UZA Transit Projects
Statewide managed transit projects funded by FTA programs and delivered via Governor’s
apportionment are selected by PennDOT pursuant to the Pennsylvania State Management Plan approved
by the FTA. These projects should be programmed within the FCMPO TIP if said project is located
within the region.
FCMPO TIP Revision Procedures
As the FCMPO TIP is adopted, the respective MOU with PennDOT will be included with the
TIP documentation. The MOU will clarify how FCMPO will address all TIP revisions. In all cases,
FCMPO revision procedures will be developed under the guidance umbrella of this document. If
FCMPO elects to set more stringent procedures, then FHWA and FTA will adhere to those more
restrictive procedures, but the FCMPO established provisions cannot be less stringent than the statewide
MOU.
This document will serve as the basis for Franklin County when addressing federally funded
MPO TIP revisions.
This Memorandum of Understanding will begin October 1, 2024, and remain in effect until
September 30, 2026, unless revised or terminated. Furthermore, it is agreed that this MOU will be
reaffirmed every two years.

Exhibit 1
Franklin County MPO Self-Certification Documentation
Title VI Requirement
The Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization (FCMPO) assures that no person shall
on the grounds of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, disability, age, income, or limited
proficiency in English, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights
Restoration Act of 1987, the PA Human Relations Act, and the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) Title VI Program, be excluded from participation in, be denied the
benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity. The
FCMPO further assures every effort will be made to ensure non-discrimination in all of its
programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 broadened the scope of Title VI coverage by
expanding the definition of the terms “programs or activities” to include all programs or
activities of Federal Aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors/consultants, regardless of
whether such programs and activities are themselves federally assisted (P.L. 100.259 [S.557]
March 22, 1988). In the event the FCMPO as the recipient distributes federal aid funds to a
sub-recipient, the FCMPO will include Title VI language in all written agreements and will
monitor for compliance.
The Franklin County Planning Department is responsible for initiating and monitoring Title VI
activities, preparing reports, and other responsibilities as required by 23 Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR) 200 and 49 CFR 21.
Public Participation Plan (PPP)
Franklin County MPO adopted its most recent Public Participation Plan on May 20, 2020
and updated the document in December 2023. A copy of this document can be obtained on
the FCMPO website or by contacting the Franklin County Planning Department.
The purpose of this Public Participation Plan (the Plan) is to describe the Franklin County
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (FCMPO) Public Participation Program (the Program),
which comprises the various outreach activities that FCMPO engages in to ensure that all
members of the public—including populations that have been underserved by the transportation
system and/or have lacked access to the decision-making process—are given the opportunity to
participate in the metropolitan transportation planning process that shapes Franklin County. The
Plan guides the FCMPO's efforts to offer early, continuous, and meaningful opportunities for the
public to help identify social, economic, and environmental impacts of proposed transportation
policies, projects, and initiatives.
The Plan strives to achieve the following objectives:
5
1. Provide opportunities for public review and comment at key decision points, including a
reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed Metropolitan Transportation Plan
(MTP)/Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP), with adequate public notice and access to underlying technical and policy
information;
2. Provide timely information about transportation issues and decision-making processes to
citizens, affected public agencies, and stakeholders including representatives of public
transportation users and users of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, representatives of the
disabled, private transportation providers, providers of freight transportation services,
freight shippers, representatives of public transportation employees, and other interested
parties; and
3. Provide participation opportunities to those traditionally underserved by existing
transportation systems, such as low-income and minority populations.
Environmental Justice
Environmental justice seeks to ensure that no group of people bears a disproportionate share of
adverse environmental effects resulting from programs, policies or activities implemented by the
Franklin County MPO. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that
MPOs evaluate all plans and programs for environmental justice sensitivity and evaluate public
involvement activities to include outreach to low income, minority and disadvantaged
populations. The following are statutes that FCMPO must abide by that protect against
environmental justice inequities.
●Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
●The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987
●Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898
●Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Executive Order 13166
●Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Requirements
The Franklin County Metropolitan Organization has adopted the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program as a sub-recipient in
accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) under 49 CFR
Part 26. The Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization has received federal financial
assistance from the Department of Transportation, and as a condition of receiving this assistance,
the Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization has signed an assurance that it will
comply with 49 CFR Part 26.
It is the policy of the Franklin County Metropolitan Planning Organization to ensure that DBE’s
as defined in part 26, have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in DOT-assisted
contracts. It is also our policy to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of
DOT-assisted contracts, to create a level playing field on which DBE’s can compete fairly for
DOT-assisted contracts, to ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with
applicable law, to ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are
permitted to participate as DBE’s, to help remove barriers to the participation of DBE’s in
DOT-assisted contracts, and to assist in the development of firms that can compete successfully
in the market place outside the DBE Program.
Contracts awarded to outside vendors for planning studies must adhere to the requirements of the
Franklin County DBE Policy.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
The offices of the agencies that provide staff services or assistance to the Franklin County MPO
are
all ADA-compliant. All committee, subcommittee, and public meetings are held in ADA-
compliant buildings. When possible, meetings are held in locations convenient to alternative
transportation
modes. All meeting advertisements include a request that special needs users contact Franklin
County
staff if special arrangements need to be made. An example of a newspaper advertisement can be
found in Appendix G of the 2025-2028 Franklin County TIP. Franklin County’s commitment to
providing aid to LEP communities and strategies for public outreach are outlined through the
Title VI Plan and Public Participation Plan. The Franklin County website uses Google Translate
to translate the content of the website and vital documents. LEP assistance and alternative formats of publication are available through the Franklin County Planning Department after allowing for seven (7) business days for materials preparation.
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Financial Constraint and Capacity
Requirements
The Franklin County MPO’s 2025-2028 TIP was adopted on May 16, 2024. The MPO and
PennDOT utilize approved Procedures for TIP Modifications, which specify the modifications
that must be formally approved by the Franklin County MPO, and modifications that can be
completed by administrative action of the project sponsor. For each amendment that required
formal action by the MPO, and for administrative actions made by the project sponsors, a fiscal
constraint chart was prepared illustrating the transfer of funds and verifying that annual funding
was financially constrained. An example of a fiscal constraint chart for a TIP amendment can be
found in the 2025-2028 Franklin County TIP under “Financial Plan.” Similar processes and
procedures were approved and will be utilized to administer the 2025-2028 TIP.
Clean Air Act
Franklin County MPO has continued to strive to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act
through effective measures, such as through the Pennsylvania Conformity Working Group and
through iterative Air Quality Conformity Analysis conducted as part of the TIP and LRTP
update cycles.
