INTRODUCTION This report constitutes an amendment to the regional transportation plan prepared by the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) for the Cincinnati metropolitan area. The OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan “Setting Your Transportation Landscape” (the Plan) was originally adopted by the OKI Board of Directors on June 12, 2008. Periodically, as needs and conditions change, it becomes necessary to modify the Plan. This amendment is undertaken to address two items: 1) Incorporation of projects eligible for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (federal stimulus bill), 2) Update any project level information as necessary, and 3) Minor revisions to text and figures. A copy of the full OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan is available on CD, printed document or on-line at www.oki.org. PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS The primary purpose of this amendment is to allow OKI to incorporate projects to be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (federal stimulus bill). This amendment includes projects that are either new to the plan or have new funding sources as a result of the federal stimulus bill. Projects that add capacity are considered non-exempt with respect to air quality conformity and trigger the need to evaluate their regional impacts in terms of traffic and air quality. This amendment to the OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan includes both exempt and non-exempt projects. Non-exempt projects that are new to the plan are added to the travel model assumptions, normally within the highway network, and the impacts on regional emissions are evaluated. Non-exempt projects that represent a change in scope of an existing plan project are required to be added to the travel model assumptions, and the impacts on regional emissions are evaluated. A change in the scope of a project that changes a roadway’s capacity triggers an updated air quality conformity determination. This type of change could be either in termini or breadth of improvement, or both. Non-exempt projects that represent a change in timing of an existing plan project may be required to be part of travel model assumptions for the appropriate analysis year. Only one project in this amendment are considered non-exempt, however it is an are existing Plan project and no change in scope or timing is made, thus OKI will Amendment 1 – OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan – March 2009

rely on the existing air quality determination made on the current Plan as permitted under federal guidance. The remaining projects are exempt and do not trigger an air quality finding. Refer to the Transportation and Air Quality section below. This amendment also includes new revenue estimates expected to be received via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (federal stimulus bill). Fiscal constraint discussion is provided later in the document. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Projects To respond to the recession, President Obama and Congressional leadership enacted an economic recovery (i.e. stimulus) package, worth nearly to $1 trillion. This effort would address President Obama’s plan to create 2.5 million jobs by 2011. The intent of funding through an economic recovery package is to stimulate the economy by creating direct and indirect jobs. Therefore, the money will be targeted to “ready-to-go” projects, not planning activities. Funding from the Act for transportation projects is being distributed primarily through state DOT’s, MPO’s and transit agencies. OKI will receive (sub-allocated) funding through traditional Surface Transportation Program processes. Eligible projects are being funded with 100% federal funds (i.e. no non-federal matching funds are required). Transit agencies received a separate allocation consistent with the existing process of distributing FTA 5307 capital funds. Each agency in the region determined their projects using their allocation. All Title 23 requirements such as design standards, public involvement, NEPA requirements, fiscal and air quality conformity etc. apply. This Plan amendment includes transportation projects being funded by all sources of federal stimulus funds. Projects were selected based on guidance received from the oversight agency of record. OKI transportation projects were selected using guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The following criteria help guide project selection: must be a transportation project, roadway projects must be on a federal functionally classified roadway, the project must be “shovel ready” and the project needs to create or retain jobs. The following tables show the recommended projects. Table 1 includes transit projects. Table 2 includes Ohio projects. Table 3 includes Dearborn County projects.

OTHER MODIFICATIONS In addition to incorporating the AARA projects, this amendment takes the opportunity to make minor corrections identified after publication of the June 2008 version of the Plan. These are listed below in Table 4. Table 4- Corrections to June 2008 Plan Document Page 15-13 (last sentence) These figures do not include the approximate $1.03 $1.325 billion programmed in the current 2008-2011 Transportation Improvement Program. Action: replace $1.03 billion with $1.325 billion Page 15-15 (last paragraph second sentence) ____ As outlined above in the Funding Expectations section, approximately $11.273 billion is estimated to be available for all transportation expenditures in the OKI region over the life of the plan. Action: replace $7.53 billion with $11.273 billion. Page 15-15 (last paragraph third sentence) _________ The estimated cost of the recommendations of this plan including $1.325 billion in the current TIP is an estimated $7.2 $11.065 billion. Action: add the following text (including $1.325 billion in the current TIP) and replace $7.2 billion with $11.065 billion. Page 16-4 through 16-7 Figures 16-4 through 16-7: Data source information added.

AMENDED FISCAL CONSTRAINT DETERMINATION As part of the long range plan, the costs of implementing the recommendations are compared with the funding expected to be available. The Plan’s financial analysis was developed in response to the requirements for a “financially constrained plan” that were introduced in ISTEA and continued in TEA-21 and SAFETEA-LU. The Plan considers capital and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs associated with the preservation and continued operation of the existing transportation system. It also projects revenues from all sources which will be available to pay for these improvements. Chapter 16 of the Plan describes in detail the base financing plan for the region. Determination of fiscal constraint for this amendment relies on the existing analysis performed on the original Plan adopted by the OKI Board of Directors in
Amendment 1 – OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan – March 2009

June, 2008 and on the expectation of funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) also referred to as the Stimulus Bill. Final funding levels are not known at this time but guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) suggest that the amount will be approximately 200% of fiscal year 2008 funding. This means that OKI could receive approximately $50 million through FHWA and $36 million through FTA to allocate to projects that are eligible and would meet the “shovel ready” requirements of the ARRA. FTA funds will be allocated using existing formula percentages for the region’s transit agencies. Additionally, FHWA and FTA have encouraged metropolitan planning organizations to initiate the Plan and TIP amendment process in order to be able to respond quickly once the Act is signed into law. This amendment is primarily for the purpose of incorporating projects from the ARRA. The final project list may need to be adjusted to match exact funding levels once that is known. OKI will assure that this is accomplished in order to produce a Plan that remains fiscally constrained. TRANSPORTATION AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY Transportation conformity is a mechanism to ensure that federal funding and approval are given to those transportation activities that are consistent with the air quality goals of the State Implementation Plans for Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Pursuant to provisions of the CAAA of 1990, U.S. EPA designated a nine county area in the Cincinnati area as a nonattainment area for ozone under the eight-hour ozone standard in April 2004. The Cincinnati ozone nonattainment area includes Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County Indiana, the Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell and Kenton, and the Ohio counties of Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren. In December 2004, U.S. EPA designated an eight county area as nonattainment for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) under the annual PM2.5 standard. The boundaries of the PM2.5 nonattainment area are identical to ozone nonattainment area excluding Clinton County, OH. The OKI Regional Council of Governments (OKI), as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), consists of Dearborn, Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties.
Amendment 1 – OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan – March 2009
10
All projects, with the exception of PID 75303 (Amelia Olive Branch and SR125 Intersection Improvement), are exempt from air quality conformity requirements. Exempt project types are defined in the federal transportation conformity rules and include projects that do not add capacity to the transportation system. PID 75303 is considered a non-exempt project. It includes a new access road and park-and-ride facility, but it is included in the existing TIP and Plan. This amendment makes no changes to the timing or scope of PID 75303 and OKI is relying on the previous regional emissions analysis as detailed and adopted as part of the June 2008 update to the OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan “Setting Your Transportation Landscape” was developed with significant attention to public involvement. Please refer to Chapter 2. Provisions for public comment on this Amendment were provided through a month long public comment period and culminated in public hearing held at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 9, 2009 at the OKI offices, 720 East Pete Rose Way, Suite 420, Cincinnati, Ohio. OKI advertised the Amendment in mainstream and minority newspapers and through standing OKI committees. This document was placed for public review in public libraries throughout the region, at the Ohio Department of Transportation and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet district offices and on the OKI website. Through a qualitative evaluation, it is determined that the changes included in this Amendment 2 - 2030 Regional Transportation Plan ensure that low income populations and minority populations receive a proportionate share of benefits from federally funded transportation investments.

OTHER MODIFICATIONS In addition to incorporating the AARA projects, this amendment takes the opportunity to make minor corrections identified after publication of the June 2008 version of the Plan. These are listed below in Table 4. Table 4- Corrections to June 2008 Plan Document Page 15-13 (last sentence) These figures do not include the approximate $1.03 $1.325 billion programmed in the current 2008-2011 Transportation Improvement Program. Action: replace $1.03 billion with $1.325 billion Page 15-15 (last paragraph second sentence) ____ As outlined above in the Funding Expectations section, approximately $11.273 billion is estimated to be available for all transportation expenditures in the OKI region over the life of the plan. Action: replace $7.53 billion with $11.273 billion. Page 15-15 (last paragraph third sentence) _________ The estimated cost of the recommendations of this plan including $1.325 billion in the current TIP is an estimated $7.2 $11.065 billion. Action: add the following text (including $1.325 billion in the current TIP) and replace $7.2 billion with $11.065 billion. Page 16-4 through 16-7 Figures 16-4 through 16-7: Data source information added.

AMENDED FISCAL CONSTRAINT DETERMINATION As part of the long range plan, the costs of implementing the recommendations are compared with the funding expected to be available. The Plan’s financial analysis was developed in response to the requirements for a “financially constrained plan” that were introduced in ISTEA and continued in TEA-21 and SAFETEA-LU. The Plan considers capital and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs associated with the preservation and continued operation of the existing transportation system. It also projects revenues from all sources which will be available to pay for these improvements. Chapter 16 of the Plan describes in detail the base financing plan for the region. Determination of fiscal constraint for this amendment relies on the existing analysis performed on the original Plan adopted by the OKI Board of Directors in
Amendment 1 – OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan – March 2009

June, 2008 and on the expectation of funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) also referred to as the Stimulus Bill. Final funding levels are not known at this time but guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) suggest that the amount will be approximately 200% of fiscal year 2008 funding. This means that OKI could receive approximately $50 million through FHWA and $36 million through FTA to allocate to projects that are eligible and would meet the “shovel ready” requirements of the ARRA. FTA funds will be allocated using existing formula percentages for the region’s transit agencies. Additionally, FHWA and FTA have encouraged metropolitan planning organizations to initiate the Plan and TIP amendment process in order to be able to respond quickly once the Act is signed into law. This amendment is primarily for the purpose of incorporating projects from the ARRA. The final project list may need to be adjusted to match exact funding levels once that is known. OKI will assure that this is accomplished in order to produce a Plan that remains fiscally constrained. TRANSPORTATION AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY Transportation conformity is a mechanism to ensure that federal funding and approval are given to those transportation activities that are consistent with the air quality goals of the State Implementation Plans for Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Pursuant to provisions of the CAAA of 1990, U.S. EPA designated a nine county area in the Cincinnati area as a nonattainment area for ozone under the eight-hour ozone standard in April 2004. The Cincinnati ozone nonattainment area includes Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County Indiana, the Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell and Kenton, and the Ohio counties of Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren. In December 2004, U.S. EPA designated an eight county area as nonattainment for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) under the annual PM2.5 standard. The boundaries of the PM2.5 nonattainment area are identical to ozone nonattainment area excluding Clinton County, OH. The OKI Regional Council of Governments (OKI), as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), consists of Dearborn, Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties.
Amendment 1 – OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan – March 2009
10
All projects, with the exception of PID 75303 (Amelia Olive Branch and SR125 Intersection Improvement), are exempt from air quality conformity requirements. Exempt project types are defined in the federal transportation conformity rules and include projects that do not add capacity to the transportation system. PID 75303 is considered a non-exempt project. It includes a new access road and park-and-ride facility, but it is included in the existing TIP and Plan. This amendment makes no changes to the timing or scope of PID 75303 and OKI is relying on the previous regional emissions analysis as detailed and adopted as part of the June 2008 update to the OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The OKI 2030 Regional Transportation Plan “Setting Your Transportation Landscape” was developed with significant attention to public involvement. Please refer to Chapter 2. Provisions for public comment on this Amendment were provided through a month long public comment period and culminated in public hearing held at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 9, 2009 at the OKI offices, 720 East Pete Rose Way, Suite 420, Cincinnati, Ohio. OKI advertised the Amendment in mainstream and minority newspapers and through standing OKI committees. This document was placed for public review in public libraries throughout the region, at the Ohio Department of Transportation and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet district offices and on the OKI website. Through a qualitative evaluation, it is determined that the changes included in this Amendment 2 - 2030 Regional Transportation Plan ensure that low income populations and minority populations receive a proportionate share of benefits from federally funded transportation investments.
