Holton, AICP, MPO Officer Date: November 21, 2019 BACKGROUND  Each year the Policy Committee approves a resolution ensuring compliance with the open meetings act and establishes its meeting schedule for the coming year.  NMDOTs STIP Procedures Manual outlines an annual calendar for TIP Amendments, which impacts the meeting schedule on a quarterly basis. This schedule has been considered in developing this proposal.  Additionally, a draft of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) may be presented in July prior to considered adoption by the Policy Committee in August or September 2020. This may necessitate an additional meeting in July. CURRENT WORK  Staff presented a proposed meeting schedule for discussion with the Policy Committee in September.  It was suggested that the Policy Committee hold eight (8) regular meetings during 2020. The additional meeting in June is needed to consider scheduled adoption of the FFY2021-2022 UPWP.  Meetings are recommended for January, February, April, May, June, August, September, and November.  During the September Policy Committee meeting, the Committee directed Staff to find out if their meeting could be scheduled at 10:30 a.m. rather than at 1:30 p.m. so that the NMDOT representative could attend the SFMPO meeting which occurs that same afternoon. The meeting day would continue to be the fourth Thursday of the month on a rotating basis among the entities. The change in meeting time was acceptable to the City/County Clerks.  Staff compared the Policy Committee schedule with the Technical Committee schedule and NMDOT and the proposed Policy Committee schedule remains the most efficient and workable. ACTION ITEM  Staff recommends that the Policy Committee consider approval of the proposed 2020 meeting calendar and proposed Policy Committee Resolution 2019-9. 14 * PROPOSED * FARMINGTON METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION 2020 Regular Meeting Schedule POLICY COMMITTEE All meetings will be held at 10:30 a.m. at the locations listed below.

CURRENT ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS  This item is being presented to both committees in November for their information. It will be brought back to both the Technical and Policy Committees in January for their recommendation/approval.  Staff recommends that the state standards be adopted for 2020.  FMPO Policy Committee action is due no later than February 27, 2020. ATTACHMENTS  NMDOT’s Performance Measure (PM) Target Report – PM 1 for Year 2020 INFORMATION ITEM  This is being presented during the November meeting as a heads up. APPLICABLE CITATIONS Requirement for MPOs to establish performance targets for Federal-aid highway measures and public transportation established by USDOT.  23 USC 134(h)(2)  49 USC 5303(h)(2)  49 USC 5304(d)(2) 20 Requirements to include discussion in the metropolitan and statewide improvement program as to how the planned program will achieve State/MPO targets:  23 USC 134(j)(2)(D)  23 USC 135(g)(4)  49 USC 5303(j)(2)(D)  49 USC 5304(g)(4) 21 Performance Measure (PM) Target Report – PM 1 2020 Safety Targets This document outlines the 2020 Targets for Safety (PM 1) for New Mexico, as required by the 23 CFR 490, Final Rule on the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) published March 15, 2016 (effective April 14, 2017). The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Statewide Planning Bureau (SPB) is responsible for coordinating the setting of PM 1 targets. Overview of PM 1 Measures The state is required to set annual targets for five performance measures: 1. Number of Total Fatalities 2. Number of Serious Injuries 3. Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles travelled (VMT) or fatality rate 4. Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT or serious injury rate 5. Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries The first three are common measures and must be identical to the targets established for the Highway Safety Plan (HSP). Coordination with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) The NMDOT undertook a coordinated effort with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), the HSP team and other stakeholders to set the targets. 1. Numerous internal meetings took place in winter of 2019 between the NMDOT S t a t e w i d e Planning Bureau (SPB) and Traffic Safety Division, which is responsible for the HSP, to review and analyze crash data and trends. NMDOT contracts with the University of New Mexico (UNM) to maintain the state’s crash database. 2. On May 2 1 , 2019, the NMDOT Safety Division held a meeting to discuss and adopt the targets required in the HSP. 3. On June 7, 2019, SPB staff emailed a draft of this report, outlining the adopted state PM1 targets, to the MPOs for review and comments. Santa Fe, El Paso and Mid Region MPOs responded that they supported the targets. The other MPOs did not submit a response. 4. On July 19, 2019, the NMDOT Safety Committee reviewed and approved the 2020 Safety Targets as outlined in this report. These targets will be reported in the 2019 HSIP Annual Report. 5. The MPOs have until February 27, 2020 to adopt the NMDOT PM 1 targets or set their own quantifiable targets. Data Methodologies and Assumptions In setting the FFY2019 safety performance targets, NMDOT and stakeholders did not rely solely on the data projections, but used the data in combination with their discussions regarding other relevant factors and their assessment of the potential safety impacts of various strategies and projects. NMDOT worked with UNM to determine methodologies and assumptions required to set the targets. These are as follows: • NMDOT uses Excel to plot a linear best fit line based on 5-years of actual data to project for future years. 22 • Annual Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) - The Annual VMT for 2017 is from the FHWA Highway Statistics Series (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2017/pdf/vm2.pdf). The preliminary Annual VMT for 2018 was provided by the NMDOT Asset Management and Planning Division, Data Management Bureau. Please note that the Annual VMT includes interstate ramps. o 2017 – 29,680,000,000 o 2018 – 27,676,089,664.35 • Crash Data - 2017 is finalized, 2018 is preliminary. NMDOT PM 1 (Safety) 2020 Targets 1) Number of Total Fatalities 500 410 424 386 405 391 361 366 379 400 349 350 347.4 342.2 401.9 376.7 300 352.4 353.2 355.8 371.8 311 298 200 Total Fatalities 100 5-Yr Moving Average 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS Prelim. Projected NMDOT 2020 Target for Number of Total Fatalities: 401.9 NMDOT Justification: Although five-year average fatalities rose by a moderate 2.4 percent between 2013 and 2017, preliminary and projected data indicate that fatalities will increase by about 13 percent between 2017 and 2020. Fatalities involving SUVs, pickup trucks and pedestrians are increasing and in 2018, accounted for 51.4 percent of all crash fatalities. Given the prevalence of SUV and pickup truck ownership, and projected increase in fatalities overall, the five-year average projection of 401.9 is determined to be the 2020 target. 23 2) Number of Serious Injuries 2,100 1,693.6 1,563.6 1,899.0 1,922.0 1,445.0 1,709.0 1,333.8 1,400 1,235.6 1,186.6 1,624.0 1,143.4 1,074.2 1,314.0 1,249.0 1,329.0 1,153.0 1,133.0 1,069.0 1,032.9 700 Suspected Serious Injuries (Class A) 983.0 5-Yr Moving Average 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 State State State State State State State State State Prelim. Projected NMDOT 2020 Target for Number of Serious Injuries: 1,074.2 NMDOT Justification: Five-year average serious injuries are projected to fall by about 7.5 percent between 2017 and 2019, and the State anticipates a continued reduction in serious injuries in 2020. The five-year average projection of 1,074.2 is the 2020 target. 3) Rate of Fatalities 2.0 1.520 1.450 1.361 1.413 1.381 1.429 1.5 1.326 1.314 1.390 1.380 1.360 1.430 1.388 1.345 1.277 1.347 1.342 1.395 1.0 1.240 1.090 0.5 Fatalities per 100M VMT 5-Yr Moving Average 0.0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS FARS State Prelim. Projected NMDOT 2020 Target for Rate of Fatalities: 1.429 NMDOT Justification: Although five-year average fatalities are expected to increase in 2020 from 2017, VMT is also expected to rise, thus the projected five-year average of 1.429 is the 2020 target. 24 4) Rate of Serious Injuries 9.0 6.637 6.160 6.0 7.300 7.605 5.597 5.079 6.663 6.353 4.562 4.299 4.073 3.820 5.238 4.928 4.844 3.0 4.135 3.817 3.863 Suspected Serious Injuries per 100M VMT 3.379 3.067 5-Yr Moving Average 0.0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 State State State State State State State State State Prelim. Projected NMDOT 2020 Target for Rate of Serious Injuries: 3.820 NMDOT Justification: Justification: Five-year average serious injury rates are projected to continue falling, thus the five-year average projection of 3.820 is the 2020 target. 5) Number of Non-motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries 300 217.0 207.0 210.6 214.3 198.0 191.0 197.0 200 175.0 202.0 204.5 204.0 180.8 187.6 195.6 161.0 159.0 157.0 157.0 161.8 169.2 100 Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious Injuries (Pedestrians and Pedalcyclists) 5-Yr Moving Average 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 State State State State State State State State State Prelim.

The five-year average projection of 204.0 is the 2020 target. 25 FARMINGTON METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION Agenda Item #6 Subject: Quarterly Educational Presentation – The Road to Zero Prepared by: Mary L Holton, AICP, MPO Officer Date: November 21, 2019 PRESENTATION From The Road to Zero’s summary: “Why Zero? Is This Really Possible? …the idea of a future with literally zero roadway deaths seems like a pipe dream. Roadway deaths—deaths due to traffic crashes—have been increasing, not decreasing, over the past two years. In 2016, more than 37,000 Americans died on the roads-5,000 more people than died in 2011. The United States has made good progress in road safety over the long run, despite this recent backsliding, but incremental progress is no longer acceptable given the increasingly rapid advances in technology and the wealth of knowledge about how to prevent crashes. Inspired by the goals and progress in other countries, the broader traffic safety community is now working together to achieve a common vision—that by 2050, nobody would be killed in a traffic crash on U.S. roads. Why zero? That raises the question, "What level of death on the roads should we as a society accept?" How many of our own family members, classmates, neighbors, or people in our community losing their lives to crashes would be considered an appropriate number? These deaths are preventable—the safety community deliberately calls them crashes, not accidents, for this very reason. Accident implies unforeseeable circumstances or a twist of fate, but crashes can be prevented. The number of roadway deaths has long been accepted as a "price" of mobility, but 37,000 deaths is more than 100 Americans killed per day. Imagine the outcry if plane crashes or natural disasters killed 100 Americans every day. As to whether this is possible, the country has seen enormous improvements in safety in other areas. As of 2017, no commercial U.S. airline passenger flight has had a fatal crash since 2009, thanks in large part to a collaborative government/industry safety management system. The number of people who smoke has fallen by more than half in 50 years, thanks to education campaigns and laws limiting where people can smoke. In addition, the experiences of other high-income countries show that more-significant change is feasible. In 2013, the U.S. roadway death rate was more than twice the average of other high-income countries, and almost all of those countries have seen greater improvement than the United States over the past two decades. Sweden, where the idea of Vision Zero began, has seen declines in its crash death rates of 50 percent or more, 26 using the Safe System approach. A number of U.S. cities and states have also embraced this Vision Zero strategy. While it will take a generation, the success of other countries and some U.S. cities demonstrates that a combination of approaches makes this an achievable goal.” The Road to Zero Video: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=road+to+zero+&view=detail&mid=6AE44826FD FE086128E66AE44826FDFE086128E6&FORM=VIRE 27 FARMINGTON METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION Agenda Item #8 Subject: Committee Member Discussion Items Date: November 21, 2019 DISCUSSION ITEMS There were no additional discussion items provided by Policy Committee members for inclusion in the Agenda. 28 FARMINGTON METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION Agenda Item #9 Subject: Information Items Prepared by: Mary L. Holton, AICP, MPO Officer Date: November 21, 2019 INFORMATION ITEMS a. MPO Quarterly. The next MPO Quarterly is scheduled for December 3 in El Paso. MPO staff plans to participate by phone. b. MTP Update. Report from the November 6 Technical Committee meeting: Bohannan Huston and Sites Southwest representatives held five (5) public outreach events on October 17 and 18 throughout the region, speaking with 60- 70 people over the course of the two-day period. Mr. Sussman thought this was a more successful approach to outreach than the formal public meeting settings. He thanked all the Technical Committee members who participated in events. Mr. Sussman will continue to follow up with the members as the data collection process continues. Mr. Sussman said that in addition to two newspaper stories on the MTP that included links to the project website, the Technical Committee members have been very active in getting out the information. To date, 100 people have completed the survey. The survey will be open through the end of the calendar year and Mr. Sussman is hopeful that the good level of engagement will continue. The next steps in the MTP development process are putting the population and socioeconomic data together for the base and forecast years. Mr. Sussman will also be reaching out to the Technical Committee members to gather additional data needs and input on recent economic changes and likely locations for future growth. It is recognized that significant growth is not expected and that a significant amount of existing housing may not be occupied so that population growth may be absorbed before new housing development occurs. BHI will be producing some early chapters of the 2045 MTP to share in early 2020. c.

REVIEW THE DRAFT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN (PPP) Subject: Review of the Draft Public Participation Plan Prepared by: Mary Holton, AICP, MPO Officer Date: September 26, 2019 BACKGROUND  The current Public Participation Plan (PPP) was adopted on January 19, 2012 and amended on January 28, 2016. 32  The PPP must be reviewed/updated at least every five (5) years, prior to the updating the MTP.  The draft PPP was revised purposely to address issues raised in the MPO’s recent Quality Assurance Review (QAR) by NMDOT.  The draft has been revised to reflect changes discussed at the August TC Meeting and minor typographical errors.  The required 45-day public comment period for the draft PPP ran from August 11 – September 26, 2019.  The Technical Committee recommended their approval on September 11. CURRENT WORK  Substantive changes in the revised PPP include: 1. Adding Kirtland as a member entity and NWNMCOG as the MPO’s administrative agent. 2. Enlarging the MPO’s public outreach efforts by: a. Publishing and posting public notices for draft and final documents in English and Spanish (page 11 of the draft PPP). b. Adding Public Comment forms at meetings and different locations (page 15 and Appendix B of the draft PPP). c. Adding locations for posting meeting notices, public comment forms, and draft planning documents (page 20 of the draft PPP). 3. Adding FAST Act language to Planning Goals (pages 4-5 of the draft PPP).  Both Committees reviewed the draft PPP in August. ACTION ITEM  Staff and the Technical Committee recommend adoption of the 2019 Public Participation Plan (PPP) and Policy Committee Resolution 2019-8. APPLICABLE CITATION  23 CFR 450.316 DISCUSSION: Ms. Holton reported that the proposed 2019 Public Participation Plan (PPP) was presented in draft form at the August Policy Committee meeting. Several changes have been incorporated into the final version of the PPP after input from both MPO committees. Staff recommends that the 2019 Public Participation Plan (PPP) be adopted. Chair Sharer opened the public hearing. There were no comments received from committee members or the public. Chair Sharer closed the public hearing. ACTION: Commissioner Sipe moved to adopt the 2019 Public Participation Plan (PPP) and Policy Committee Resolution 2019-8. Mr. Beckstead seconded the motion. The motion was passed unanimously. Chair Sharer added that a lot of work had been put into developing the PPP and thanked Staff for their work and dedication in making this happen 33 5. 2020 ANNUAL MEETING SCHEDULE Subject: 2020 Annual Meeting Schedule Prepared by: Mary L. Holton, AICP, MPO Officer Date: September 26, 2019 BACKGROUND  Each year the Policy Committee approves a resolution ensuring compliance with the open meetings act and establishes its meeting schedule for the coming year.  NMDOTs STIP Procedures Manual outlines an annual calendar for TIP Amendments which may impact the meeting schedule on a quarterly basis. This schedule has been considered in developing this proposal.  Additionally, a draft of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) may be presented in July prior to considered adoption by the Policy Committee in August or September 2020. This may necessitate an additional meeting in July. CURRENT WORK  Staff is presenting, herein, a proposed meeting schedule for discussion with the Policy Committee.  It is suggested that the Policy Committee hold eight (8) regular meetings during 2020. The additional meeting in June is needed to consider scheduled adoption of the FFY2021-2022 UPWP.  Meetings are recommended for January, February, April, May, June, August, September, and November.  The Committee’s Meetings can continue to be held on the fourth Thursday at 1:30 pm, unless otherwise indicated, on a rotating basis among the entities.  Staff compared the Policy Committee schedule with the Technical Committee schedule, as well as with the RTPO, NMDOT, and other possible competing schedules, and has concluded that the proposed Policy Committee schedule remains the most efficient and workable. INFORMATION ITEM  Staff recommends that the Policy Committee review the proposed 2020 meeting calendar and provide their comments or questions. Considered adoption of the 2020 Meeting Schedule and Policy Committee Resolution 2019-9 will be considered on November 21, 2019. DISCUSSION: Ms. Holton asked that the Policy Committee review the proposed 2020 meeting schedule and to let Staff know if the dates work. Considered adoption committee would consider its approval in November. The proposed schedule shows the meetings continuing to be held on the fourth Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in January, February, April, May, June, August, September, and November. The meetings will also continue to rotate among the entities. Commissioner Sipe commented that the number of meetings appear to have increased over the last 34 few years. Ms. Holton explained that there is a minimum number of meetings as stated in the Bylaws, but approval of TIP and UPWP amendments throughout the year also denotes when meetings are necessary in order to obtain Policy Committee considered approvals. Mr. Quintana asked if the Policy Committee would consider moving their meeting time to the morning so that NMDOT representatives are able to get back to Santa Fe in time to attend the Santa Fe MPO Policy Board meetings which occur on this same day of the month at 5:30 p.m. The Policy Committee did not have an issue with considering this change and decided to look at 10:30 a.m. Ms. Markle will follow up with the City/Town Clerks to see if the meeting facilities are available for 10:30 a.m. meetings. 6. REPORTS FROM NMDOT Planning Bureau – Joseph Moriarty Mr. Moriarty reported that the new 2020 federal fiscal year begins on October 1, 2019. The FMPO has received the Notice to Proceed that released their FFY2020 work funds. These funds are administered through NMDOT and assist the MPO with funding the planning and programming process. The Planning Bureau is continuing with development of the long range transportation plan. Research by the consultants is ongoing with an internal steering committee formed to review the results of this research in December. Early next spring the MPOs will be invited to participate in a stakeholder meeting where they can offer their comments to the plan. The targeted completion date is the fall of 2020. District 5 – David Quintana Mr. Quintana reported that all current projects are on schedule. With the recent call for TIP Amendment #1, District 5 will be submitting several projects to be amended into the FFY2020-2025 TIP:  Addition of signalized intersection for NM 371 and N36;  Pavement preservation project for US 550 from Aztec to Colorado;  Study for a future phased project on NM 173 (identify potential alternatives for the additional 19 miles of NM 173 not being addressed in the current HSIP project). Mr. Quintana stated that he had accepted a new position with NMDOT’s general office and would no longer be the District 5 representative. He said that a new representative may be in place by November. Commissioner Todacheene asked about future work on US 550 from Shiprock to the Arizona state line. Mr. Quintana said there is an ongoing study and the consultant is working to identify project phases that will subsequently be programmed. The first phase has already been programmed into 2021 and that is to replace the Red Wash Creek Bridge. The District also submitted an application for a Federal Build Grant of $25,000,000. If they get some of this funding, the project timeline will speed up. 35 Commissioner Todacheene also asked who was responsible for replacing and maintaining the street lights in Shiprock. Mr. Quintana said that the District has a global lighting agreement with the Navajo Nation, so the responsibility falls to the Navajo Nation and Navajo DOT. Chair Sharer asked if there were any future plans for resurfacing East Murray Drive (US 64). Mr. Quintana said the District has some concerns with utility work permitted by the City of Farmington. They believe that much of the trenching was not compacted adequately and repaving could likely results in more rutting/potholes. He said he would follow up with Paul Brasher to see if some maintenance work was planned, but thought it might be too late in season. 7. COMMITTEE MEMBER DISCUSSION ITEMS Subject: Committee Member Discussion Items Date: September 26, 2019 DISCUSSION ITEMS There were no additional discussion items provided by Policy Committee members for inclusion in the Agenda. 8. INFORMATION ITEMS Subject: Information Items Prepared by: MPO Staff Date: September 26, 2019 INFORMATION ITEMS a. MTP Update. Mr. Aaron Sussman, Planner, with Bohannan Huston (BHI) reported to the Technical Committee on September 11 on the development of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). BHI is building a project website (https://www.bhinc.com/fmpo2045mtp/) that will provide basic information on the MTP and the planning process. Additionally, they are working on an online interactive map and questionnaire (https://bhi.mysocialpinpoint.com/fmpo2045mtp#/) to gather public comments and recommendations. Aaron is asking that you review the noted sites and provide him with any comments/changes you may have, and is asking for any October 2019 events scheduled in your entity or the region so that he can start setting up the plan's initial outreach. Aaron may be emailed at asussman@bhinc.com. 36 b. PPP Activities. Please see the attached FMPO comment card. A verbal report will be provided at your meeting. DISCUSSION: Ms. Holton reported that Aaron Sussman, Planner with Bohannan- Huston met with the Technical Committee to update them on the development of the 2045 MTP and, specifically, the building of the project websites. The website that will provide basic information about the MTP is https://www.bhinc.com/fmpo2045mtp/ and the online interactive map and public questionnaire can be viewed at https://bhi.mysocialpinpoint.com/fmpo2045mtp#/. Before these links go live to the public, which is expected sometime in mid-October, Mr. Sussman would like to have Policy Committee input and ideas. Also planned for mid- October are several public outreach events to begin the discussion with the public and gather their input. These events will be informal in nature rather than a formal open house or public meeting. An event in Kirtland is still being organized, hopefully at the Kirtland Youth Center. Mr. Beckstead said the Youth Center has a new director and he would provide Ms. Holton with that contact information. Once all the events have been scheduled, Staff will send out that information to the Committees as well as the outreach partners. Once BHI has the public outreach events scheduled Staff will provide that information to the Committee. These event The initial sections of the Public Participation Plan (PPP) have been fully implemented. The new tri-fold with a public comment section was distributed to all the public outreach partners throughout the county last week. Ms. Holton also reported that the call for projects for the first amendment to the FFY2020-2025 TIP was sent out on September 23. This amendment will come to the Policy Committee for consideration in November. 9.
