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 targets be adopted for 2023. ▪ FMPO Policy Committee action is due no later than February 27, 2023. ATTACHMENTS ▪ NMDOT’s Proposed Performance Measure (PM) Target Report – PM 1 for Year 2023 INFORMATION ITEM ▪ This is being presented during the November meeting as an introduction. APPLICABLE CITATIONS Requirement for MPOs to establish performance targets for Federal-aid highway measures and public transportation established by USDOT. 14  ▪ 23 USC 134(h)(2) ▪ 49 USC 5303(h)(2) ▪ 49 USC 5304(d)(2) 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) 15  Performance Measure (PM) Target Report – PM 1 2023 Safety Targets This document outlines the 2023 Safety Targets (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) Multimodal Planning and Programs Bureau (MPPB) 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. Internal meetings took place in spring of 2022 between staff of the NMDOT MPPB and Traffic Safety Division, responsible for the HSP, to review and analyze crash data and trends. A representative of the University of New Mexico (UNM), contracted by NMDOT to maintain the state’s crash database, attended the meetings and provided crash data and analysis. 2. On May 26, 2022, the NMDOT Traffic Safety Division held a meeting with stakeholders to discuss and adopt the targets required in the Highway Safety Plan (HSP). 3. On June 15, 2022, MPPB staff presented the targets to the MPOs and emailed the proposed targets to the MPOs for review and comments. 4. On June 22, 2022 the draft of the PM1 Target Report was emailed to the MPOs for review. 5. On July 21, 2022, the NMDOT Safety Committee will review and approve the 2023 Safety Targets as outlined in this report for submittal in the 2022 HSIP Annual Report. 6. The MPOs have until February 28, 2023 to formally adopt the NMDOT PM 1 targets or set their own quantifiable targets. Data Methodologies and Assumptions In setting the 2023 safety 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 2023 PM 1 Targets Report – 6/21/2022 Page 1 of 6 16   NMDOT uses Excel to plot a linear best fit line based on 6‐years of actual data to project for future years.  The preliminary Annual VMT for 2021 is provided by the Data Management Bureau of the NMDOT Planning Division.  Crash Data for 2021 is preliminary and provided by UNM.  The source data table is attached as Appendix B. This data was used to calculate the linear regression equations that yield the 2022 and 2023 projections. It also contains the data that was used to calculate the five‐year moving averages.

Projected NMDOT 2023 Target for Number of Total Fatalities: 446.6 NMDOT Justification: The preliminary reported number of fatalities increased by about 20 percent from 2020 to 2021, as it increased from 398 to 479 fatalities, respectively. The five‐year moving average fatalities from 2022 to 2023 are also projected to rise, although less aggressively, by 3.7 percent (430.6 to 446.6). With fatalities projected to keep rising the five‐year average projection of 446.6 is determined to be the 2023 target.

Projected NMDOT 2023 Target for Number of Serious Injuries: 995.4 NMDOT Justification: The original methodology used to project the 5‐year moving average number of A‐injuries for 2023 resulted in a target of 953.5 A‐Injuries ‐ roughly a 10% decrease from the previous year’s target. This decrease of 10% is a significantly higher decrease compared to the typical observed decrease of A‐Injuries dating back to 2016. For this reason, the 5‐year moving average target for A‐Injuries has been adjusted to 995.4 to be more in line with the observed year‐over‐year decrease of 5‐year moving average A‐Injuries.

Projected NMDOT 2023 Target for Rate of Fatalities: 1.695 NMDOT Justification: The projected rate of fatalities for 2023 increased due to the stability projected for VMT in 2021‐2023. Combined with the fact the preliminary total fatalities for 2021 shows a large increase and the projected fatalities also show increases, the fatality rate is also projected to increase. Observing that the VMTs are not increasing in step with the observed fatality numbers impacts the five‐year moving average ‐ resulting in an increased fatality rate for 2023. As shown in Figure 3, the 2023 projecte fatality rate of 1.695 is generally consistent with the rate of change in the five year moving average as observed since 2017.

Projected NMDOT 2023 Target for Rate of Serious Injuries: 3.801 NMDOT Justification: The original methodology used to project the 5‐year moving average number of suspected A‐injuries per 100M VMT for 2023 resulted in 3.584. This decrease is a significantly higher decrease compared to the typical observed decrease of A‐Injuries dating back to 2016. The 2022 target is 3.842 and while the serious injury rate is declining a change from 3.584 from 3.842 is unrealistic. For this reason, the 5‐year moving average target for the rate of A‐Injuries per 100M VMT has been adjusted to 3.801 to be more in line with the observed year‐over‐year decrease of 5‐year moving average for the rate of suspected serious injuries per 100M VMT.

The five‐year moving average has been hovering around 200 with minor fluctuations annually. The 2023 projected five‐year moving average is no different, with a target of 199.4.

FFY2023-2024 PROPOSED UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM (UPWP) Subject: FFY2023-2024 Proposed Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Prepared by: Peter Koeppel MPO Officer Date: May 26, 2022 BACKGROUND 30  ▪ The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) is the MPO’s work plan for two federal fiscal years. The UPWP pairs the MPO’s required work tasks/products with the MPO’s anticipated funding. ▪ The FFY2023-2024 UPWP will cover planning activities and work products to be completed from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. ▪ Based on the Planning Procedures Manual (PPM), the MPO needs to provide a draft UPWP to NMDOT in late April, receive input/corrections from NMDOT by June 1 (NMDOT comments have been incorporated), and obtain the approvals by the Committees in June, before submitting the final version to NMDOT before July 1. ▪ Both the Committees reviewed the proposed FFY2023-2024 UPWP during their April 2022 meetings. ▪ A 30-day public comment period was noticed from May 24, 2020 to June 22, 2020 ▪ Page 9 of the document outlines the five major work program tasks for the MPO; these tasks are based on a format provided by NMDOT. Subtasks are listed below. You should be aware that the same numbering system is utilized in the MPO’s quarterly invoicing system and in our financial reports, including the Annual Performance & Expenditure Report (APER), which we prepare and submit at the end of every FFY. ▪ The Technical Committee recommended their approval on May 11, 2022. CURRENT WORK ▪ Annual activities in the UPWP include administering the MPO’s programs, TIP development and management, development of performance measures, GIS activities, Safe Routes to School activities, transit data collection and mapping. ▪ Major activities for the FFY2023-2024 UPWP will include the implementing the policies of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, land-use and transportation planning support activities, transportation performance management, and travel demand modeling updates. ▪ Per NMDOT direction, staff projects that FHWA PL funds of $269,488.00 and FTA 5303 funds of $74,386.25 (both including local matches) for each of the two (2) federal fiscal years will be available. ANTICIPATED WORK ▪ Hold a public hearing on the proposed FFY2023-2024 UPWP. ▪ Seek final approval of the FFY2023-2024 UPWP by the Policy Committee at the May 26, 2022 meeting. ACTION ITEM ▪ The Technical Committee and Staff recommend that the Policy Committee consider approval of the proposed FFY2023-2024 UPWP and PC Resolution 2022-3. DISCUSSION: Mr. Koeppel introduced the FY2023-2024 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The UPWP is the MPO’s two-year budget and work program. It says what work the MPO will do, who will do the work, when will the work get done, how much the work will cost, and where the funding will come from. The UPWP is divided into five categories: 31  • Program Administration and Management: Includes hosting meetings and trainings and the day-to-day running of the agency • Transportation Improvement Program: Ensuring the TIP meets all federal and NMDOT requirements • General Development and Data Collection/Analysis: Includes mapping and GIS work • Transportation Planning: Includes the long-range transportation plan, bicycle and pedestrian planning, and similar studies, plans and work • Special Studies and Activities: Include a new requirement to work more closely with hosing coordinators MPO Staff and the Farmington MPO Technical Committee recommend that the Policy Committee approve the FFY2023-2024 proposed UPWP. Commissioner Todacheene asked if the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) included in the UPWP included the MPO’s work with the tribal communities. Mr. Koeppel explained that not in this case. The MPO’s JPA is an interlocal agreement between the MPO and their member governments. It is one of the legal foundations of the MPO and how they are chartered. Since the MPO does not overlap with any tribal lands they are not a part of this JPA. There was no further discussion by the committee. Chair Sharer opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. The public hearing was closed. ACTION: Councilor Bingham-Kelly motioned to approve the FFY2023-2024 UPWP. Councilor George seconded the motion. The motion was passed with no opposition. 5. REPORTS FROM NMDOT Planning Bureau – John Neunuebel Mr. Neunuebel or any representative from the Planning Bureau was not in attendance.

DISCUSSION: Commissioner Todacheene asked Mr. Brasher if he was aware of the condition of the street lights in Shiprock and if they could have a separate conversation about how these are maintained. Mr. Brasher said they could have an conversation about this but the DOT does not maintain these types of facilities, this would be the responsibility of the local government.
