3. BICYCLE/ PEDESTRIAN PLAN UPDATE (moved to be item 5 rather than 3)
Prepared by: Aaron Sussman
11
Current standing: half way through the project. Transition from first phase of public outreach
and next is to go to recommendations in the plan’s update.
-review survey results
-how proposed to update regional bike network
Survey open for 4 months Oct. –Jan., 207 responses
Most respondents were in FMTN. Large demographic spread. Interactive map thousands of
responses in process of reviewing the data.
Nov. 7, 2022 there was an open house at Civic Center there were 20 attendees.
Frequency of Walking Trips graph, primary reason is health/ exercise, environmental.
benefits, destinations were the top three reasons.
Barriers to walking: traffic speed/ safety, destinations are too far away, personal security
concerns were top three reasons.
Level of comfort on different facility types graph
Frequency of bike trips: 60% do 40% don’t bike – recreation trips dominates the reason for
biking
Barriers to biking more: traffic speed/ safety, lack of facilities, and bike lanes are too narrow
are the top barriers
Level of comfort biking on Different Facility Types graph
12
Key takeaways: most biking/ walking trips are for recreation, but there are some that do
other times and if there were more infrastructure there may be more use (more connections)
Recommendations: 4 steps:
1. Assign complete street facility type designations to existing/ proposed bikeways
2. Evaluate gap between existing and desired conditions – based on LTS and street facility
type design guide
3. Identify projects that address gaps/ deficient bikeways
4. Prioritization applied to project locations to create priority lists
Purpose of Network Evaluation: how comfortable are existing bikeways for different types of
bicyclists? Want to expand the users.
Separation from traffic by bicyclist type – more comfortable
Level of Traffic Stress – tool to measure biker comfort, facility widths, traffic volume, speed
etc. 1-4 increases as speed and volumes go up
Greater separation for bikes and pedestrians = increased comfort
13
Maps with the bicycle lanes – the overlay of the LTS scores –
Complete streets Facility Types – where we complement the network with the facility type
that makes sense with the network
Creating fact sheets for modal priority for the facility types across the FMPO area.
Farmington City Bikeway Network – map of bikeway that already exists – how can we enhance
or further this network/ the routes that exist
Next Steps: Regional Connections, Pedestrian Analysis
April 12 is the proposed in person meeting and workshop/ public meeting, open-house
Upcoming data requests- review maps of previously proposed infrastructure projects
14
Review complete street facility type sheets
Discussion/ Questions:
Colby: have there been discussion/ plans for pedestrian/bike connections to the river area?
Aaron: Yes, but is this a facility that supports recreation or transportation? Conflicts arrive
when choosing one or the other – may need thoughts toward.
Willingness/ desire for workshop in April? (To which there were no responses.)
4. PM 3: FFY2023 TARGETS FOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE/ FREIGHT/CMAQ
Prepared by Peter Koeppel
Subject: FFY2023 Targets for System Performance/Freight/CMAQ
(PM 3)
Prepared by: Peter Koeppel
Date: February 8, 2023
BACKGROUND
▪ 23 CFR §490 – 2019 Targets for System Performance/Freight/CMAQ (PM 3)
▪ The FHWA requires that MPOs establish PM 3 Measures as follows: 1) Two measures to assess
system performance: a. Percentage of person-miles traveled on the interstate system that are
reliable; b. Percentage of person-miles traveled on the non-interstate National Highway System
(NHS) that are reliable; 2) One measure to assess freight movement: a. Truck Travel Time
Reliability (TTTR) index; 3) Three measures to assess the CMAQ Program: a. Annual hours of
peak-hour excessive delay per capita – NM is not required to set a target for this measure; b.
Percent on non-single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel – NM is not required to set a target for this
measure; c. On-road mobile source emissions reductions – NM is in non-attainment for Particulate
Matter (PM) 10 in one area covered by the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization (EPMPO).
▪ MPOs may agree to support State target OR establish their own targets. The FMPO proposes to
adopt the NMDOT targets for PM 3.
CURRENT ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS
▪ Staff recommends that the state targets be adopted for 2023
▪ FMPO Policy Committee action is due no later than May 21, 2023
ATTACHMENTS
▪ NMDOT’s Performance Measure (PM) Target Report for PM 3 for FFY2023
▪ Proposed Policy Committee Resolution 2023-2 regarding PM 3 Targets.
ACTION ITEM
▪ Hold a public hearing on the PM 3 Performance Measure Targets and the proposed PC Resolution
2023-2.
▪ Consider recommending approval of the PM 3 Performance Measure Targets and proposed Policy
Committee Resolution 2023-2 to the Policy Committee.
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)
15
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)
Discussed PM 1 last month, now PM 3 overall addresses congestion reduction, system
reliability, and freight movement. Work towards achieving these targets, 6 performance
measures only 1 applies to our region as we have no interstates that go through our MPO
region. Only measure that is non-interstate NHS reliable time travel.
Chart of reliability trends – in the green (pink is construction in 2014), therefore, we have an
extremely reliable system.
Have 180 days to adopt state targets or create our own. Staff recommendation is that TC
recommends PC to adopt state targets.
There was no discussion.
There were no public comments.
Motion to recommend approval Resolution 2023-2 Nick Porell. Seconded by Steven Saavedra.
MOTION – Nick Porell
SECOND – Steven Saavedra
Nick Porell moved to recommend approval of Resolution 2023-2. Steven Saavedra seconded

In nonattainment or maintenance areas for transportation-related pollutants, if a TIP amendment
involves non-exempt projects (per 40 CFR part 93), or is replaced with an updated TIP, the
MPO(s) and the FHWA and the FTA must make a new conformity determination. In all areas,
changes that affect fiscal constraint must take place by amendment of the TIP. The MPO(s) shall
use public participation procedures consistent with § 450.316(a) in revising the TIP, except that
these procedures are not required for administrative modifications.) After approval by the
MPO(s) and the Governor, the State shall include the TIP without change, directly or by
reference, in the STIP required under 23 U.S.C. 135. In nonattainment and maintenance areas,
the FHWA and the FTA must make a conformity finding on the TIP before it is included in the
STIP. A copy of the approved TIP shall be provided to the FHWA and the FTA.
