SECTION 10 Funding Alternatives Accurately forecasting and securing stable funding for ITS programs has proved difficult in many regions. A recent survey of transportation agencies by ITE revealed an average 20 percent shortfall in funding and resources for traffic control activities by those agencies. As these ITS activities are expanded, the need for deployment and operations funding becomes even more critical. Long-term funding of O&M activities is of particular concern. Focusing increased efforts on planning and budgeting O&M costs to accurately predict these costs over the life cycle of proposed deployments is perhaps the best strategy related to the funding of ITS. When the full life-cycle costs of ITS are properly planned and accurately anticipated, the task of finding available funding sources for financing the implementation and operation of the deployment is made simpler. The following sections provide information on typical nationwide funding sources. 10.1 TRADITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FEDERAL FUNDING The requirements for many federal funding opportunities require that ITS is planned consistent with the guidelines provided in the National ITS Architecture. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) legislation continues eligibility for funding of operating costs for traffic monitoring, management, and control. While continuing to permit annually apportioned Federal-aid funds to be eligible for traffic systems operations and management activities, TEA-21 does not currently provide separate funding exclusively for system management and operations. Currently available and applicable general funding programs include: Surface Transportation Program (STP) – Provides for capital and operating costs for traffic monitoring, management, and control facilities and programs. Funds provided on an 80/20 percent federal/local match basis within the initial project scope. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) – Provides funds for the establishment or operation of traffic monitoring, management, and control facility or program in non-attainment areas. Explicitly includes, as an eligible condition for funding, programs or projects that improve traffic flow. Funds provided for O&M on an 80/20 percent federal/local match basis for 3 years, or longer if the project demonstrates air quality improvement benefits on a continuing basis. TEA-21 also authorized several additional Federal funding mechanisms which are available specifically to aid in the deployment and operation of ITS. ITS Integration – This component of the ITS Deployment Program provides funding for activities necessary to integrate ITS infrastructure components that are either deployed (existing) or will be deployed with other sources of funds. This may include the integration of different ITS systems or sub-systems (e.g., freeway management, arterial City of Oakland ITS Strategic Plan 122 September, 2003
management, etc.) or the integration of like ITS components across jurisdictions. Eligible activities include the system design and integration, creation of data sharing/archiving capabilities, deployment of components that support integration with systems outside of metropolitan areas, and the development of regional or statewide ITS architectures but not for capital improvements. The ITS Integration Program can fund up to 50 percent of an integration project's costs with a minimum of 20 percent of the local match to come from non-federally derived sources. Hazard Elimination Safety Program (HES) – The HES grants are available for safety projects on public roads and highways, including signals, median barriers, guardrail, surfacing, ITS implementation and other. Grant applications are due annually and distributed through Caltrans. Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing Protection Program (Title 23, Section 130, U.S. Code). The Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing program is discretionary funds for rail/highway grade crossing improvements, including signalization and ITS implementations. The Federal government continues to recognize the need to provide O&M funding for ITS investments and is continuing to commit to making Federal funds available. This source alone, however, is not likely to offset the full amount of funds required to implement a comprehensive operations and maintenance plan. Table 10.1 summarizes the opportunity to use Federal funds to support ITS activities. Table 10.1 – Summary of Potential Federal ITS Funding Sources Type of Fund Capital O&M 2003 TEA 21 reauthorization SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT Surface Transportation Program SOME SOME OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY ITS Integration SOME NO OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY Congestion Management and Air Quality LITTLE OR NO LITTLE OR NO OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY Hazard Safety Elimination SOME NO OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY Railroad/Highway Grade Crossing SOME NO OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY The reauthorization of TEA 21 that may include funds dedicated to O&M has significant opportunities for Federal funding. STP funds in California are programmed at the regional level. The City of Oakland could submit funding requests during the call for projects from Caltrans. CMAQ funds can be used for operations, but the use is limited to three years per project for operations only. CMAQ funds are programmed at the regional level.
