21 Additional Considerations: Project Readiness and Other Factors Level of stakeholder/community support Engineering/design complete or underway Environmental approvals complete or underway Easement acquisition (if applicable) complete or underway Additional local funding overmatch Innovative technology and treatments 21
22 Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Applications for SRTS projects will not compete for funding with Active Transportation projects. Eligible entities should submit a separate application for each school campus and the associated infrastructure project(s) that would benefit students walking/bicycling to that campus. The total amount of federal funding requested by an eligible entity for all of their SRTS projects must be between $150,000 - $5 million. Projects implementing recommendations of a SRTS Plan are strongly encouraged (but a Plan is not required). 22
23 Safe Routes to School Plans What: A plan for how to improve pedestrian and bicycle travel to and from school in order to increase the number of students who walk and bicycle and improve safety. A list of the schools with SRTS plans that have been submitted to TxDOT is available here: 23
24 Safe Routes to School Plans (cont.) Developing a SRTS Plan? Steps for Getting Started: Identify schools with safety issues or where many students walk/bicycle (school district feedback, high crash areas, etc.) Meet with school principals and other stakeholders to assess existing conditions and identify barriers/concerns What Should be Included in the Plan: School Description SRTS Team and Partnerships Existing Travel Environment Walk/Bike Barriers and Opportunities Goals and Actions Determine appropriate countermeasures 24

All projects that receive TA-Set Aside funding will be required to follow the federal environmental process (i.e., NEPA). Determine type of environmental document needed. The checklist is not a NEPA document. A separate environmental analysis is required for all projects. 45
46 TA Set-Aside Program Environmental Considerations To complete this form: Review recent aerial/satellite photos Conduct a site visit Do research (such as using available mapping and data including the Regional Ecosystem Framework site Ref.asp) 46
47 Park Lands For publicly-owned property, verify the ownership, zoning, and funding source used to purchase the land (i.e., were Federal and/or State funds used). USDOT Section 4(f) regulations apply to publicly-owned: Designated park land, Recreational land, or Wildlife and waterfowl refuges. Check with your parks department. 47

49 Historic Properties or Structures (cont.) Property is eligible for listing on the NRHP Historic properties can include: Buildings Roadway elements (i.e., brick, markers, light post, railings) Bridges or culverts Cemeteries Neighborhoods Archaeological sites 49
50 Land Use Cemeteries - both historical and current require additional coordination for the project. Railroad Corridors - require agreements with the railroad companies. Determine if this process has been initiated or is completed. Utility Corridors - require permission and agreements with the utility company to utilize. Determine if this process has been initiated or is completed. 50
51 Section 404 Permitting Through the Section 404 permitting process, the USACE regulates the placement of fill (dirt, columns, roadway, etc.) in streams, ponds, lakes, or wetlands. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. In most cases, a permit is necessary for projects that would require fill. Permits could be individual or nationwide. 51
52 Section 404 Permitting (cont.) Typical permits used for transportation construction projects include: NWP 7 Outfall Structures and Associated Intake NWP 13 Bank Stabilization NWP 14 Linear Transportation Projects NWP 18 Minor Discharges NWP 25 Structural Discharges NWP 33 Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering Less fill or impacts may result in smaller permits and/or quicker approvals. Check with your engineering department. 52
53 Threatened/Endangered Species Identify any state or federal threatened or endangered species listed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department or US Fish and Wildlife Service in the project area or the presences of their habitat. The list of threatened and endangered species: State species: ngered_species/ Federal species: 53

58 Project Schedule Anticipated approval of STIP and availability of TA Set- Aside Program funds is November/December Entity must be prepared to execute an agreement (LPAFA) with TxDOT quickly after approval of the STIP. All TA Set-Aside Program funded projects must obligate funds for construction within three years (or less) of project selection. Projects unable to be completed within the required timeframe are at risk of losing TA Set-Aside Program funding due to federal regulations. 58
59 Cost Estimates and Budget Issues Cost estimates based on sound professional judgement. Local funds must be available starting FY18. Project s scope of work will not change after application is submitted. The applicant is responsible for any and all cost overruns. 59
