Background
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), now stipulate that a performance measurement framework must be used in the development of the TIP and MTP. Once state departments of transportation (DOT) set performance targets for each performance area MPOs must set their own targets or agree with those set by the State DOT. Performance measures at the federal level are focused on the following national goals:
Abilene MPO has taken initial action on the following: (PM1) Safety (02/20/18) (PM2) Infrastructure Condition (TAM) Transit Assets (PM3) System Reliability Current Situation: On August 31, 2018, the State’s new Highway Safety Improvement Plan (HSIP) report updated Safety (PM1) targets for FY 2019. As part of the State’s strategic goal to reduce the positive rate of growth in fatalities and serious injuries 2% by 2022 incremental targets are set each year. The targets in any given year are expressed as a 5-year average of past data and future projections.
Targets are established for the following areas:
The resolution R-2019-01 matches the Safety (PM1) Performance Measure targets established in the State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The HSIP is updated annually. The MPOs are required to adopt the Safety targets by February 27, 2019.

Background
The MPO began looking at improvements to the project selection process in March of 2012. This
draft was never implemented.
In August 2015, a project selection committee was re-established specifically to evaluate and
combine the TxDOT and MPO project lists into a 10-Year Plan.
At the September 2017 TAC meeting a motion was made to formalize the project selection process
through written documentation.
On January 30, 2018 the TAC formed a new subcommittee for this purpose. This sub-committee met on August 1, 2018 and October 12, 2018.
Current Situation
A draft of the proposed new Project Selection Process developed by the TAC subcommittee is
now ready. This draft endeavors to:
Document Details: Process: 1) Project Submission/Nomination 2) Staff - Data Collection 3) TAC Evaluation/Scoring/Recommendation 4) PB Project Selection Goal 1. Promote Safety (up to 25 total points) Goal 2. Optimize System Performance & Promote Economic Development (up to 20 points) Goal 3. Preserve Assets and Ensure Reliability (up to 25 total points) Goal 4. Provide an efficient, effective, and safe transportation system promoting development and sustainability (up to 20 points) Goal 5. Protect the Environment and Promote Environmental Justice (up to 10 points)
Recommendation from the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) At their November 27, 2018 meeting the TAC recommended approval of submitting the attached PSP to the Policy Board. They recommended two administrative changes to the document which have been

Background The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) identifies transportation improvement projects that the Abilene Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) area will need over the next 25-years based on the demand on the current system and input from the community. This document incorporates a multimodal
transportation; bicycle and pedestrian mobility; railroads, trucks and freight movement; and aviation. The goal is to have a combination of these elements to provide for the smooth movement of people and goods through the MPO area. The roadway projects are separated into three categories – baseline, enhanced, and illustrative projects. Funding for projects comes from various sources including Federal, State, cities, counties, and even private sources. Current Situation The FYs 2020-2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan is due January 20, 2020. In order to ensure deadlines are met a timeline is needed.
