Aspirational objectives will guide the use offunds received that are above baseline revenue projections.2. Goals. CDOT transportation goals guide development of the multimodal StatewideTransportation Plan and of performance objectives. The goals are: SAFETY – Reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries and work toward zero deaths for allusers. INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION – Preserve the transportation infrastructure condition toensure safety and mobility at a least life cycle cost. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE – Improve system reliability and reduce congestion, primarilythrough operational improvements and secondarily through the addition of capacity.Support opportunities for mode choice. MAINTENANCE – Annually maintain CDOT’s roadways and facilities to minimize theneed for replacement or rehabilitation.3. Performance Measures and Objectives. Performance measures describe how statewidesuccess will be evaluated and performance objectives establish statewide achievement levelswhich are used to direct investment decisions primarily focused on the first 10-years (20162025) of the planning horizon that extends to 2040. Explanations of how the objectives will bemeasured and budget categories that fund the four goal areas - Maintain, Maximize, Expand, andPass-Through Funds/Multi-Modal Grants - are listed below with the appropriate goals.a) SAFETY:Safety objectives are mostly stated in a five-year average so that the trend can be evaluated(current five-year averages are based on data from 2008-2012).

The planning principles describe how CDOT conducts business incarrying out the statewide transportation planning process.a) Customer Focus. Improve customer service and satisfaction by focusing on thepriorities identified by the public. Strengthen transparency and accountability by ensuringthe public has multiple ways of learning about and participating in multimodaltransportation planning and regional and statewide transportation decision making.b) Partnerships. Collaborate with CDOT planning partners to build consensus for theintegration of local, regional and statewide transportation priorities in the multimodalStatewide Transportation Plan and to reach data-based multimodal transportationplanning solutions. Partner with other agencies and the private sector to leverageresources and to augment public funds.c) Performance-Based Planning and Programming. Use a performance-based planningand programming approach in developing a multimodal Statewide Transportation Planthat aligns with MAP-21 national performance goals. Program projects in support ofthose goals and CDOT objectives and in alignment with the risk based asset managementplan. Address both the 10-year and long range planning horizons.d) Financial Planning. In cooperation with CDOT planning partners, and in recognitionof declining revenues and increasing costs, develop reasonable Revenue Projections and aProgram Distribution method that optimize the use of funds in addressing criticaltransportation needs. Utilize financial scenarios in the Plan in order to be prepared forPage 7 of 803 SWP and Asset Management Workshop: Page 20 of 31

MEMORANDUMDEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONDivision of Transportation Development4201 East Arkansas AvenueDenver, Colorado 80222(303) 757-9011DATE:December 5, 2013TO:Transportation CommissionFROM:Debra Perkins-Smith, Director, Division of Transportation DevelopmentSUBJECT:RPP Formula and DiscussionThis memo is informational and intended to document TC direction and next steps resulting fromthe November TC Workshop on RPP and FASTER Safety. At last month’s Commissionworkshop there was a discussion about use of FASTER Safety funds for asset management, theappropriate level of funding for RPP, and a potential formula for distribution of RPP funds. Inthe past, the purpose of RPP has been to provide flexible funds for regional priorities that areidentified through the planning process with the MPOs and TPRs. RPP may fund a stand-aloneproject or may supplement funding of a larger project that have been developed through theplanning process and included in the STIP.A summary of TC direction at the workshop included the following: Increase RPP to 50 million starting in FY 15 FASTER Safety – allocate 40 million in FASTER Safety funds to asset managementareas with clear safety benefit and then transfer 40 million of asset management funds toRPP FASTER Safety program and distribution – staff needs to develop program requirements(i.e. goals, program structure, metrics) project selection methodology and criteria,potential distribution methodology, and reporting functions. RPP – distribution for FY 15 – use past formula for FY 15 (45/40/15); analyze optionsfor formula for future years to be applied to Program Distribution starting in FY 16;consider other factors.Next StepsStaff is working on several items to provide additional information to the Commission regardingRPP including: Compiling information on types of projects for which RPP funds have been used in thepast. Forming an interdisciplinary committee to examine factors and options for an RPPdistribution formula Providing a spreadsheet to TC with a variety of factors by MPO/Region03 SWP and Asset Management Workshop: Page 22 of 31

STATE OF COLORADODEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONDivision of Transportation Development4201 East Arkansas AvenueDenver, Colorado 80222(303) 757-9525MEMORANDUMTO:Transportation CommissionFROM:Debra Perkins-Smith, Director, Division of Transportation DevelopmentScott Richrath, Chief Financial Officer, Division of Accounting & FinanceDATE:December 10, 2013RE:Program DistributionPurpose: This memo summarizes information regarding Program Distribution for the period of thenext Statewide Transportation Plan and STIP.Action Requested: Transportation Commission (TC) input on Program Distribution. Specificallyinput on 1) Program Distribution assumptions; and 2) scenarios for allocations of funds focusing onthe first ten years.Background: Program Distribution is a part of the Statewide Plan and outlines the assignment ofprojected revenues to various program areas for the time period of the Plan (FY 2016-FY 2040).Program Distribution also identifies the program fund levels that will be used in developing the nextStatewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which begins with FY 2016. In the past,Program Distribution was referred to as “Resource Allocation.” The new name reflects changesunder MAP-21, including the consolidation of many federal programs into six core programs,development of a Risk-Based Asset Management Plan, and an emphasis on performancemanagement of the transportation system. Revenues for Program Distribution are based on theBaseline Revenue Projection for the 2040 Statewide Plan adopted by the TC on April 18, 2013(Attachment A). Federal revenues peak in 2025 and decline each year following.Federal requirements state that the MPOs and the State “shall cooperatively develop estimates offunds that will be available to support metropolitan transportation plan implementation .Allnecessary financial resources from public and private sources that are reasonably expected to bemade available to carry out the transportation plan shall be identified.” Federal requirements alsostate that the metropolitan transportation plan include sufficient financial information to demonstratethat the projects in the plan can be implemented with reasonably available revenue sources, withassurance that the federally supported transportation system is being adequately operated andmaintained. “For the outer years of the metropolitan transportation plan (i.e. beyond the first 10years) the financial plan may reflect aggregate cost ranges/bands ”State law requires that regional transportation plans state “what can be reasonably expected to beimplemented with the estimated revenues which are likely to be available” and that “the statewide103 SWP and Asset Management Workshop: Page 23 of 31

plan integrate and consolidate regional plans into a comprehensive statewide plan.” ProgramDistribution for the 2016-2040 time period is necessary in order to demonstrate the level of servicesthat are expected to be provided with anticipated revenues.I.FY 15 Baseline Scenario Table (Attachment B)Attachment B includes a table with year by year program estimates for the first ten years (FY 20162025), a total for the next fifteen years (FY 2026 – 2040), and a total for the full time horizon of FY2016-2040. The table is organized into three categories of programs: Asset Management- Maintenance, Surface Treatment, and other Asset Managementprograms that are directed by the TC; Other TC Directed Programs- Other flexible programs that are directed by the TC; Re

plan. Address both the 10-year and long range planning horizons. d) Financial Planning. In cooperation with CDOT planning partners, and in recognition of declining revenues and increasing costs, develop reasonable Revenue Projections and a Program Distribution method that optimize the use of funds in addressing critical transportation needs.
