3 Highway and Bridge Projects Project Descriptions and Maps Project Descriptions Project listings typically include the following information: MPMS#; project title; project route and section numbers; improvement type; geographic limits of the project; and a narrative description of the project. Each project listing also provides information on the total program period cost, cost by fiscal year, phase of work, and funding sources. Costs are shown in thousands of dollars. Project Maps The maps on pages 67 and 69 show the location of the projects included in the FFY Transportation Improvement Program for the Reading MPO area (Berks County). Highway, Bridge, Enhancement, Interstate Management and Transit projects are shown on two maps - Map 1, showing the entire county and Map 2, showing an inset of the Reading urban area. Projects are referenced according to their PENNDOT MPMS Number and are keyed to the preceding pages. Project descriptions are arranged based on their mapped MPMS number. Certain projects that have no specific location or are line items that reserve funds for future assignment to specific projects are not mapped. 11

4 Codes and Abbreviations Various codes and abbreviations are used in the project descriptions, particularly for the phase of work and the source of funds. These codes and abbreviations are explained below.

50 Financial Plan Highway and Bridge Program The financial consequences of following the project schedule include those costs associated with the various phases of the proposed projects. The phased programming of these steps allows for a more efficient and effective use of the available funding. The financial plan is composed of the long- and short-range elements. The short-range element is applied to the TIP while the long-range element is applied to the Long-Range Transportation Plan. Over the years, PENNDOT, in cooperation with its planning partners, has engaged in an effort to reengineer the planning and programming process. One of the results of this is the establishment of financial guidance (See Appendix B) that establishes a base allocation of funding for each planning region. In addition to the base allocation, areas may apply for discretionary funding from the State to cover projects associated with economic development as well as spikes resulting from major regional projects. The costs associated with this program match those allocated to the area through the State s financial guidance, including the receipt of discretionary funds. 62

52 Interstate Management Program As an outgrowth of developing the statewide financial guidance during the FFY2007 Program update, an Interstate Management Program was recommended and eventually agreed to by the planning partners. This program is centrally managed by PennDOT and sets aside annual funding to address statewide Interstate highway and bridge projects. Interstate Management Program funds assigned to a region are separate and in addition to those used in developing the regional TIP. These projects and future updates will be developed and prioritized on a quantitatively based decisionmaking system developed by PennDOT that is intended to minimize the total ongoing cost of maintaining and operating the Interstate System. The Interstate Management System will not address capacity adding projects or new Interstate Highway projects. These projects, if desired, must be contained within a fiscally constrained regional Long Range Transportation Plan and TIP. All air-quality significant Interstate projects located in Berks County, regardless of funding source, are included in the regional Air Quality Conformity Analysis. 64
