SAN ANTONIO - BEXAR COUNTY MPO

SUBMITTAL CONTENT
Projects to be programmed in the TIP will include the following information:
1.    Detailed project description including - proposed implementation year; location and project limits;
description of the typical section including type of facility, number of travel lanes, auxiliary lanes,
existing and proposed width of pavement, existing and required right-of-way, drainage
requirements, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and a description of all intersections (with collector
street or better) within the project limits; length in miles, and project selection ranking (if
appropriate).
2.     Preliminary cost estimate for the project.
3.     Identification of proposed source and amount of federal and non-federal funds for the project.
Identification of the agency/source of matching funds for the project.
4.     Project Support Data to include twenty-four (24) hour traffic counts, turning movement
counts (if applicable) and accident data.
PROJECT SELECTION PROCEDURE
The project selection procedure for Surface Transportation Program Metro Mobility (STP-MM) funds and
Urban Street Program (USP) funds consists of the following steps:
1.    Projects submitted for STP-MM funding will be grouped into the following five (5) categories for evaluation
purpose;
Capacity projects - projects which add through lanes to a facility.
Preservation Rehabilitation projects - reconstructing a facility without adding through
lanes.
Preservation Operational projects - projects which improve the operational capacity of a
facility without adding through lanes such as adding right, left or center turn
lanes, adding or improving intersection signalization, and making geometric
improvements.
Bicycle projects - projects which construct, rehabilitate or upgrade bicycle facilities and
mobility.
Pedestrian projects - projects which construct, rehabilitate or upgrade pedestrian facilities
and mobility.
2.    The target goals for each STP-MM category derived from the Long Range Transportation Plan
(Transvison 2015) are:
55.8% Capacity projects
37.8% Preservation (Rehab. & Operational) projects
4.8% Bicycle projects
1.6% Pedestrian projects
The cost for bicycle or pedestrian portions of projects may be applied to the annual percentage goals
shown above, however bicycle projects must be identified in Bicycle Mobility Plans. The costs for the
bicycle and pedestrian portions of the project must each be shown separately, if the costs are to be
applied to the goals.
