RESOLUTION 17-08


A RESOLUTION OF THE NORTHWESTERN INDIANA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING THE CONGESTION

MANAGEMENT PROCESS FOR THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL PLAN UPDATE COMPANION AMENDMENT #4

April 20, 2017


WHEREAS, Northwest Indiana’s citizens require a safe, efficient, effective, resource- conserving regional transportation system that maintains and enhances regional mobility and contributes to improving the quality of life in Northwest Indiana; and


WHEREAS, the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission, hereafter referred to as “the Commission,” is designated as a Transportation Management Area (TMA) according to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) by being a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) with a Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) of over 200,000 population in Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties.


WHEREAS, the Commission, being designated the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Lake, Porter and LaPorte County area, has established a regional, comprehensive, cooperative, and continuing (3-C) transportation planning process to develop the unified planning work program, a transportation plan, and a transportation improvement program to facilitate federal funding for communities, counties, and transit operators, and to provide technical assistance and expertise to regional transportation interests; and


WHEREAS, the Commission performs the above activities to satisfy requirements of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 (PL 114-94), applicable portions of all prior federal transportation program authorizing legislation, as well as other federal, state, and local laws mandating or authorizing transportation planning activities; and


WHEREAS, the Congestion Management Process is a product of a multi-modal, 3-C transportation planning process, compatible with regional goals and objectives and socio-


economic and demographic factors used to form the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan (CRP), as amended; and


WHEREAS, the Congestion Management Process is an implementation of the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan (CRP), as amended; satisfies Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 450.322 requiring a TMA to apply a Congestion Management Process for any project(s) adding capacity to the transportation network.


WHEREAS, the Congestion Management Process for all of the roadway capacity-adding projects appearing in the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion Amendment #4 has already been found by the NIRPC former Transportation Policy Committee on November 19, 2013 and March 18, 2014.


WHEREAS, the Commission’s Technical Planning Committee approved the Congestion Management Process for the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion Amendment #4 on April 11, 2017.


NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission hereby approves the Congestion Management Process for the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion Amendment #4.


Duly adopted by the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission this twentieth day of April, 2017.

Amendment #4 to the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion: Congestion

Management Process


image

Prepared by the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission

Applicability of the Process:

23 CFR 450.320 requires that all Transportation Management Areas (TMAs), defined as Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) administering the federal transportation planning process for metropolitan planning areas with population greater than 200,000 people, conduct a Congestion Management Process (CMP). NIRPC falls into the definition of a TMA and thus is required to conduct a CMP. NIRPC’s CMP requires that all roadway capacity-adding projects included in or amended into its Long Range Plan products pass its CMP. In Amendment #4, no projects add capacity to the roadway. However, given that the Congestion Management Processes in the past for the I-65 Added Travel Lanes project, now proposed in Amendment #4 as removing the segment between SR-2 and SR-10 still implies the yet unbuilt segment between US-30 and SR-2 will be built, it is necessary to examine whether or not a CMP is warranted here for this segment. The I-65 ATL project was included in Congestion Management Processes that passed NIRPC’s former Transportation Policy Committee for segments between US-30 and US- 231 and between US-231 and SR-2 on November 19, 2013 and March 18, 2014 respectively.

Also, these 2 prior CMPs analyzed the Illiana Corridor as part of the build networks. However, Amendment #4 to the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion does not eliminate the Illiana Corridor, but rather pushes back its completed year from 2020 to 2040, so the prior 2 CMPs for the I-65 Added Travel Lanes project are still valid for the CMP for Amendment #4. Therefore, instead of a new CMP for Amendment #4, the findings of the previous CMPs for the I-65 Added Travel Lanes Project are summarized afresh. Also, a case study of a similar project is presented in Middlesex County, New Jersey where vehicle probe speed data is available both before and after a major Interstate Lane Widening project on I-95.


Summary of Congestion Management Process of I-65 Added Travel Lanes between US-30 and US-231, Approved by NIRPC’s former TPC on November 19, 2013:

The CMP conducted in 2013 for the segment of I-65 Added Travel Lanes between US-30 and US-231 passed NIRPC’s former Transportation Policy Committee on November 19, 2013.

As shown in Table 1 below, the CMP showed a slight increase in Daily Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) across the entire NIRPC travel demand model area of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties, but also a slight decrease in Daily Vehicle Hours of Travel (VHT) across the NIRPC travel demand model area. Moreover, Average speed was slightly higher in the build scenario.


Table 1: Daily Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT), Daily Vehicle Hours of Travel (VHT) and Average Speed in 2040 No-build and 2040 I-65 ATL between US-30 and US-231

image


Also, the CMP conducted and approved in 2013 for the I-65 ATL project between US-30 and US-231 showed a net decrease of 11 crashes expected to result from this project using INDOT crash rates from the Interstate and Non-Interstate system (an increase in 4 crashes on I- 65 and a decrease of 15 crashes off I-65) as shown in Table 2.


Table 2: Projected Change in Crashes on the Interstate System, Non-Interstate System, and Total Change Expected to Result from the I-65 ATL Project between US-30 and US-231

image


Finally, the CMP conducted and approved in 2013 for the I-65 ATL project between US- 30 and US-231 examined both demand management and transportation systems strategies as potential alternatives to the I-65 ATL project. According to the CMP report, the demand management strategies, which included flex-time and telecommuting, would result in a reduction in Daily VMT of about 15, well less than the 271 Daily VMT reduction achieved by the I-65 ATL project. The transportation systems management strategies, which included intersection improvements and access management parallel to the corridor, could achieve a reduction up to 60 Daily VMT, again much less than the 271 Daily VMT reduction achieved by the I-65 ATL. Therefore, the I-65 ATL project from US-30 to US-231 passed the CMP.


Summary of Congestion Management Process of I-65 Added Travel Lanes between US-231 and SR-2, Approved by NIRPC’s former TPC on March 18, 2014:

The CMP for the I-65 ATL between US-231 and SR-2 passed the NIRPC former Transportation Policy Committee on March 18, 2014. The CMP for this segment again looked at both demand management (telecommuting, carpooling, and flextime) and transportation system strategies (ITS and growth management) but still found that the I-65 ATL project between US-231 and SR-2 resulted in Volume-to-Capacity (V/C) and Level of Service (LOS) improvements that far outweighed the improvements in V/C and LOS from demand management and transportation system strategies without the capacity-adding project.

Therefore, since only the capacity-adding option of building the I-65 ATL project between US-231 and SR-2 could sufficiently improve V/C and LOS, the CMP for the I-65 ATL project for that segment passed on March 18, 2014.


Conclusion and Summary from both CMP Approval Findings for I-65 Added Travel Lanes between US-30 and US-231 and between US-231 and SR-2:

In conclusion, the CMP for the I-65 ATL project for both the US-30 to US-231 and US-231 to SR-2 segments passed the NIRPC former Transportation Policy Committee on November 19, 2013 and March 18, 2014 respectively. These 2 segments collectively constitute the extent of the I-65 ATL project from US-30 to SR-2, which is consistent with the extent of the segment proposed in Amendment #4 to the 2040 Comprehensive Regional Plan Update Companion.

Therefore, the CMP was already applied for the entirety of this segment, and having no other capacity-adding road projects in the amendment, it is not necessary to approve a new CMP.


Case Study: NIRPC examined a case study of an added travel lanes project similar in type to the proposed I-65 added travel lanes project: a 9-mile added travel lanes project on I-95 in Middlesex County, New Jersey opened to traffic in November 2014. Like the proposed I-65 added travel lanes project, this project added one travel lane in each direction. Also similar to the I-65 project, this project is roughly 50 miles outside of a major city. NIRPC also chose this case study because it has available probe data on travel time both before and after the project opened to traffic. The National Performance Measure Research Data Set (NPMRDS) provides travel time data at 5-minute intervals for all probe-equipped vehicles (i.e. vehicles with cellphones and in-vehicle GPS devices) between July 2013 and December 2015. NIRPC analyzed all available data for this stretch of I-95 between July 2013 and October 2014 as a before added travel lanes scenario, and data between November 2014 and December 2015 as an after added travel lanes scenario. Four key measurements of change between the before added travel lanes and after added travel lanes scenarios are presented in Table 1.

Based on the case study, adding travel lanes to a major Interstate Highway in order to increase capacity by 33 percent (I-65 Added Travel Lanes would be 50 percent) appears to significantly improve congestion across several measures. First, travel time improved by 5.7 percent after the project was opened to traffic. More significantly, delay hours, defined as hours spent below the posted speed limit, decreased dramatically by 73.2 percent. Thirdly, vehicle speeds improved substantially, evidenced by mean vehicle speeds increasing by 14.1 percent and median vehicle speeds increasing by 2.5 percent.

Since the I-65 added travel lanes project is a very similar type of project, NIRPC expects a similar improvement in congestion by adding travel lanes. The effect may even be more substantial given that expanding from four to six travel lanes is a 50 percent expansion in capacity, whereas the I-95 New Jersey project expanded only 33 percent from six to eight lanes.
