8 Executive Summary This document outlines the Department s recommended strategic plan for the period It includes three major components of the transportation reform framework covering investment outcomes and deliverables that will accomplish the Department s mission and goals: 1. The Program & Resource Plan contains revenue projections and proposed allocation of funds across all modes of transportation for construction and engineering, maintenance, operations and administration from Over this 10- year period, almost $45 billion in transportation funding is anticipated. Nearly 60 percent of this amount is allocated for construction and engineering and over 30 percent for maintenance. The remainder will be split between operations and administration. The Program & Resource Plan also contains a multi-year investment strategy for the Construction & Engineering Program a balancing among the goals of safety, mobility and infrastructure health, spread across the state s different modes of transportation (aviation, bicycle and pedestrian, ferry, highway, public transportation and rail). The strategy also establishes Levels of Service and investment amounts to meet those levels. At these investment levels, a level of service B for interstate pavements, level of service B for highway mobility on the statewide and regional tiers and level of service A for bicycle and pedestrian mobility on the statewide tier is expected. 2. The 5 Year Work Program identifies the Department s proposed spending for During this time period, we expect to spend approximately $24 billion. The 5 Year Work Program comprises the first five years of the Program and Resource Plan, but with a more detailed accounting of how dollars will be allocated at a program level. 3. The Project List includes all projects included in the 5 Year Work Program and the Program & Resource Plan, applying costs and schedules for each project. The Project List was generated by applying the investment strategy described above to a prioritized list of transportation needs identified by our stakeholders. Actual projects selected to meet this strategy were screened to meet funding, legal, and scheduling constraints. A subset of these projects, those shown for constitutes NCDOT s State Transportation Improvement Program. The Project List also includes smaller division-managed construction projects such as secondary road improvements and small bridge replacements. The Department has identified two focus areas for the period covered by the strategic plan, both related to preserving infrastructure. The plan increases funding for bridge replacement and interstate highway rehabilitation to bring those key existing assets to levels of service required to serve the traveling public. Once adopted, any changes to the 5 Year Work Program or the Program & Resource Plan would need to be approved as amendments by the Board of Transportation.

10 Overview

11 background In January 2009, Governor Bev Perdue issued two Executive Orders requiring change at The North Carolina Department of Transportation. Executive Order # 2 called for reform in decision-making at NCDOT, and Executive Order # 3 called for improvements in performance management and accountability in state government. As the Department sought to create a framework to meet those mandates, Transportation Secretary Gene Conti solicited input from more than 1,500 transportation stakeholders, including Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations (MPOs and RPOs), elected officials and industry partners. These groups were asked how NCDOT could improve transportation decision-making. The responses fell into the following categories: Data-driven and transparent decision-making processes Credible project schedules Better coordination within NCDOT Improved planning partnerships Flexible funding Adequate time for public input into transportation needs. In addition, NCDOT researched best practices used by other transportation agencies across the United States. The model used by the Florida Department of Transportation was deemed the most useful, and much of our strategic planning framework is based on that approach. NCDOT s transformation effort is also referred to as Transportation Reform.

The other two, works well and great place, are supplemental goals that enable us to meet the three primary goals. By working towards these goals, we are able to meet our mission. NCDOT employees day-to-day tasks are diverse and range from reaching out to high school students about seatbelt usage (safety) to providing intercity rail service (mobility), from sealing cracks in pavement (infrastructure health) to reducing wait time at DMV Offices (works well).

13 North Carolina Transportation Plan (2040 Plan) The North Carolina Transportation Plan is a 30-year document that defines the mission and goals of the Department and sets out key objectives and strategies to achieve them. These elements guide decision-making, including investment decisions. The plan outlines the resources needed to support the Program and Resource Plan and sets forth an investment strategy that embraces all modes. This plan is developed by transportation professionals at NCDOT with input from regional and local bodies, based on significant public input. The plan undergoes a complete revision every eight years, with data updates every four years. The existing Statewide Transportation Plan (also known as the Long Range Transportation Plan) was last updated in In 2010, NCDOT began a major update, called the 2040 Plan, that is expected to be completed in Spring The 2040 Plan is intended to reflect changes that have occurred since 2004 in terms of broad economic and social developments, internal governance and program delivery mechanisms, and changes in the state s goals for mobility and freight logistics. It is being developed with broad input from Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations (MPOs, RPOs), local governments and other stakeholders. Program & Resource Plan The Program & Resource Plan is a 10-year plan that addresses both transportation needs and fiscal constraints. The plan is based on a process called Strategic Prioritization, which enables the Department to apply limited transportation resources to the projects that will best help us meet the mission and goals in a data-driven and transparent way. Under Prioritization, professional staff from NCDOT and regional Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations prioritize their transportation needs. Those needs are categorized by the three goals of safety, mobility and infrastructure health, and then ranked based on objective criteria such as crash data, congestion levels, pavement and bridge conditions, etc. The result is a list of North Carolina s transportation needs, unconstrained by fiscal or other considerations. The document also identifies 10-year performance targets for the goals of Safety, Mobility, and Infrastructure Health. A technical analysis shows how various investment mixes will yield differing outcomes in meeting our goals. The Program & Resource Plan includes a cash-constrained 10-year budget for the Department. It is based on forecasted expenditures, revenues (state and federal), and cash balances, and includes trend analyses of revenues, commitments, reimbursements, payout rates, etc. A critical step in the Program & Resource Plan is the convergence of the strategic prioritization outputs and the cash constrained budget. To the previously unconstrained needs list, NCDOT applies funding levels and additional constraints such as eligibility, equity, etc. The outcome is a 10-year plan that shows the prioritized projects and

14 programs NCDOT plans to carry out with the projected available funds to achieve defined performance targets. It should be emphasized that the 10-year Program and Resource Plan is a fluid document, based on projections that will change, especially in the latter years. 5 Year Work Program The Work Program derives from the Program and Resource plan. It contains both program and project-level information. The Work Program is an accounting of the state s annual transportation program grouped by five categories: Construction & Engineering Maintenance Operations Administration Transfers The Work Program is NCDOT s commitment to the projects we plan to build and the services we plan to offer over the next five years. Work Program projects can be found in years of the Project List. The 5-year Work Program is produced and reviewed by the Board of Transportation every year. The first two years of the Work Program are aligned with the biennial budget cycle. Project List The state also publishes the State Transportation Improvement Program, which is a seven-year subset of the Project List required under federal and state law. It is published every two years. The project list in this strategic planning document also includes smaller projects, called division-managed construction projects.

15 Performance and Accountability NCDOT has implemented a framework of performance management and business planning elements to enable us to meet our goals. To ensure that NCDOT is achieving the expected outcomes, we have adopted a series of accountability tools that track and report performance results. Executive Performance Measures At the beginning of each fiscal year, NCDOT establishes measurable performance targets that gauge the overall success of the Department as an organization. Each performance measure is assigned an annual target for desired achievement that is linked to at least one of the five organization goals. The annual targets are set independently based on performance trends, previous year results, resources available, national standards and recommendations and legislative requirements. Performance targets are set to be challenging, yet realistic and achievable. These measures are the basis for driving towards a better transportation network and an improved level of service to the State of North Carolina. The results of these executive measures are monitored by management on an ongoing basis and reported quarterly in a performance report referred to as the scorecard. Some of these measures are currently automated and reported more frequently on the Performance Dashboard located at www. ncdot.gov/performance. Performance measures for Fiscal Year 2011 are shown in Table 1. 10

19 Program & Resource Plan ( )

20 Program & Resource Plan The Program & Resource Plan uses proven financial management practices to address growing transportation needs. The 10-year plan uses a data-driven process to select projects and determine the most strategic use of limited financial resources. Table 2 shows the projected 10-year budget for the Department. NCDOT operates on a cashflow basis, which means that the Department may award contracts against future revenues. The advantage of a cash-flow method is that transportation tax collections are returned to the taxpayer in the form of transportation improvements much sooner than on a pay-as-you-go basis. The plan starts with a base-year budget and forecasts future year revenues (state and federal) and expenditures by analyzing trends, economic variables, contractual payout rates and future-year commitments. The Program & Resource Plan is categorized into these programs: Construction & Engineering preliminary engineering, construction, right of way, environmental mitigation and other elements of capital projects Maintenance activities and projects to maintain our multi-modal transportation network Operations activities and projects to operate our multi-modal transportation network Administration management and support services Transfers dollars that are transferred from NCDOT funds to other state agencies, the General Fund and NC Global TransPark Table 3 is a key document of this Program and Resource Plan. In 2009, NCDOT asked Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations (MPOs and RPOs) and NCDOT staff to identify their transportation needs. They came back with more than $54 billion in capital needs. Over the period, NCDOT s projected budget for these programs is approximately $10.5 billion. Columns on the chart show: 1) Funding needs as submitted by local communities, 2) Funding at current levels, 3) Funding recommendations from stakeholder summits, 4) Final allocations. To strategically invest these scarce resources statewide, NCDOT applied the investment strategy shown in Table 3 to the list of prioritized projects 1. Table 3 lays out the multi-year investment strategy for the Construction & Engineering program 2. The strategy reflects a balance of investment across the goals (safety, mobility and infrastructure health), the modes of transportation (aviation, bicycle and pedestrian, ferry, highway, public transportation and rail), and the tiers 3 (statewide, regional and subregional). Funding of projects 1 More information on the prioritization process, including a list of projects that were prioritized but not yet funded, can be found on our website at 2 The investment strategy was applied to a majority of the Construction & Engineering program funds. Preliminary Engineering, Right of Way, Congestion Management Air Quality, Non-Bicycle/Pedestrian Enhancement, and Direct Attributable funds were not included. Contract Resurfacing funds (found in Maintenance) were also included. 3 For more information on the North Carolina Multimodal Investment Network tier system, please visit gov/performance/reform/ncminmaps/. 14

21 was allocated to meet Federal and State funding eligibility requirements, the equity formula 4, air quality conformity requirements and scheduling capabilities. The Project List is based on this investment strategy. Table 3 also shows the results, or Levels of Service, that can be expected for these levels of investment. Levels of Service (LOS) connect transportation system needs and projects to future desired system performance. LOS ratings are similar to a school report card, with LOS A indicating highest performance achievable and F indicating low performance. 4 The equity formula was created in 1989 by the General Assembly. It requires that State Transportation Improvement Program funds be distributed equitably among regions of the state. Distribution is based 50 percent on the population of a region, 25 percent on the number of miles of intrastate highways left to complete in a region and the remaining 25 percent is distributed equally among the regions for the STIP. Urban loop, congestion mitigation and air quality funds, and competitive/discretionary federal grants are exempt from the formula. 15

26 5 Year Work Program ( )

27 5 year work program The Work Program is the state s annual transportation program for projects and programs for the period , grouped into five categories: Construction & Engineering preliminary engineering, construction, right of way, environmental mitigation and other elements of capital projects Maintenance activities and projects to maintain our multi-modal transportation network Operations activities and projects to operate our multi-modal transportation network Administration management and support services Transfers dollars that are transferred out of NCDOT to other state agencies, the General Fund and NC Global TransPark Over the next five years, NCDOT expects to invest nearly $24 billion in transportation. Of these dollars, approximately 51 percent will go to improve mobility, 2 percent to improve safety and 40 percent to improve infrastructure health. Percentages are estimates, and categories may overlap. For example, money spent to improve mobility or infrastructure health in most cases will improve safety as well. The Project List section of this document outlines the resulting projects based on the selected investment strategy. These selections were constrained by Federal and State funding eligibility requirements, the equity formula, air quality conformity requirements and scheduling capabilities. This Work Program reflects the projects, programs, and services NCDOT commits to deliver over the next five years. Successful completion of our Work Program will improve transportation safety and mobility and the health of our transportation network. The Department s long-term goal is to achieve at least a 95 percent delivery rate on projects in the Work Program. 20

33 highway maintenance General Statute (7) gives NCDOT full and exclusive responsibility for the maintenance of all roads other than streets in towns and cities, forming a part of the State highway system from date of acquiring said roads. The Department of Transportation shall have authority to maintain all streets constructed by the Department of Transportation in towns of less than 3,000 population by the last census, and such other streets as may be constructed in towns and cities at the expense of the Department of Transportation, whenever in the opinion of the Department of Transportation it is necessary and proper so to do. These activities include both work done by NCDOT and work done by contractors. The maintenance program consists primarily of the following functions: Road Maintenance Primary and Secondary System 1 maintenance funds are used for continuing routine maintenance activities including pavement patching, pavement markings, markers, signs, symbols, roadside vegetation management, drainage, unpaved shoulders, litter pickup and other similar maintenance activities. Bridge Maintenance Bridge maintenance funds are used for the maintenance of existing bridges, including foundations, support bents and flooring and rails, in order to maintain the structural integrity of the bridges. The replacement of critical small bridges and pipes is also eligible for this funding. The amounts recommended for bridge maintenance activities are based upon a maintenance needs inspection, numbers of deficient structures, structures with timber components and school bus loading of each state highway system bridge. Bridge maintenance funding is also used for rehabilitation and repair of concrete bridge decks, girder painting, emergency bridge repair or replacement, the repair or replacement of draw bridge electrical components and equipment and maintenance of navigational lighting systems on high-level bridges located over navigational waterways. Weigh Stations Maintenance funding is used to maintain 22 weigh stations at 11 locations across the state on the Primary Highway System. Condition Assessment and Performance Survey Maintenance funding is used to conduct an assessment of the condition of the State Highway System to develop performance measures and guidelines for the maintenance of the department s highway assets. Data collected from these surveys is used to develop maintenance plans for each division based on consistent performance measures and goals. 1 Maintenance program funding is currently categorized into primary and secondary systems. This differs from the tiered system (statewide, regional and sub-regional) used elsewhere in this document. The statewide tier makes up approximately 40% percent of the primary system. The regional tier represents the remaining 60% of the primary system. The subregional tier equates to the secondary system. More information about the tiered system may be found in the Definitions section of this document. 26

34 Other Maintenance Activities Other activities include: Inmate Labor, Historical Markers, Renovation of Rest Areas, Traffic Control Support at Major Events, State Park Maintenance, Oversize and Overweight Vehicle Fee administration, Drug and Alcohol Testing, Snow and Ice, Railroad Signals, Beaver Control, Management and Technical Training, Emergency Repairs, Non-TIP Pavement Activities and Traffic Signal Maintenance. 27

37 operations In addition to the capital projects outlined in this Policy to Projects document, NCDOT divisions and modes are extensively involved in the operational activities necessary after projects become ongoing programs of the Department. The Work Program includes funding levels for operations for these programs. Ferry Ferry personnel maintain all ferry vessels, buildings, facilities, and much of the equipment on all 21 ferries operated by the N.C. Ferry Division. The Ferry Division has a dredge that maintains all channels and harbors. The North Carolina Shipyard at Manns Harbor performs all ferry vessel dry docking, major repairs, refurbishment and extension of vessels. Governor s Highway Safety Program The GHSP runs several high-profile traffic safety campaigns annually. The Click It or Ticket program is a seat belt enforcement and educational program utilizing high-profile enforcement efforts, typically checkpoints, combined with intense media attention to get the enforcement message to motorists. In addition, GHSP runs programs called Booze It & Lose It, targeting drunk drivers at night; No Need 2 Speed, targeting speeders; R U Buckled? promoting high-school seat belt usage; and Nuestra Seguridad, to educate the growing Hispanic population as to the motor vehicle laws and safe driving practices needed to operate a motor vehicle safely in North Carolina. Highway Highway Operations includes traffic operations (including incident management and traffic signal maintenance), bridge inspection and rehabilitation, planting and beautification, and other operational activities. Public Transportation The Public Transportation Division (PTD) receives and allocates Federal and State funds to bus systems in urban, regional and rural areas to help with their operations and maintenance programs. These bus systems also receive local funds, fares and in the case of community systems, human service contracts. PTD staff, along with staff from the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) at North Carolina State University, work with local transit systems to review operations and maintenance practices and develop ways to improve. 30
