(251) 433-6541 Freight SurveysStaff is currently updating our freight data. This consists of surveying over 200 businesses and industries in theMobile that use freight, or generate freight. This is no easy task, but it is data that is not available from any otherresource. If you have any issues concerning the movement of heavy trucks, we want to hear about them. Several years ago, in partnership with the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH), SARPC layered freight into ourexisting Long Range Plan. The original intent was to create a single, comprehensive, multi-dimensional, multi-modal,and predictive tool for transportation infrastructure planning. The project hit some pitfalls including data availability.The trip generation and projection methodology for freight was very robust and required a lot of data. The IndustryCluster Analysis, although seemed to be a perfect match for the SARPC freight model, did not produce results thatmet the validation expectations of SARPC. Today, with the availability of the much improved Freight Analysis Framework (FAF3), the percent trucks are derivedfrom FAF3 data. ALDOT has conducted vehicle classification counts for SARPC at over 40 stations within our studyarea. The FAF3 base year data is more in line with the vehicle classification counts data provided by ALDOT. Althoughthe FAF3 data does provide a year 2040 truck count, it is based on a percentage of the total overall volume for year2040 projected for each facility. These projections derived by the FAF3 are grossly overestimated and are unusable;the SARPC freight component to the model only uses the TADT (a percentage of trucks) derived from the FAF3. A portion of the trip generation component to the industry cluster analysis of the model that was to be produced bythe UAH study, was freight surveys conducted by SARPC. These freight surveys began in 2008 and continue today.Staff maintains and updates a database of these surveys that not only try to develop a local sense of where freight iscoming from and going to locally, how much freight is generated locally, but it gives the MPO a sense ofinfrastructure needs in terms of our freight providers (turning radius, capacity issues, etc.).
GOOGLE ITMobile MPO staff is now up and running with our Google Earth application. All surface transportation projects arelisted, by funding categories of the Mobile Transportation Improvement Program, and are now available on GoogleEarth; please check it out. This will be a great tool for the public to be informed as to where the federal dollars arebeing spent in Mobile… [HERE]
DON’T FORGET TO CARPOOLThe CommuteSmart program began as a solution to growing traffic congestion. As an alternative to a single occupiedvehicle, the program provides commuters with the tools for ridematching and starting carpools. The various servicesavailable help commuters lower their personal commuting expense, reduce the wear and tear on their personalvehicles, and lessen their level of stress traveling back and forth to work each day. In 2005, the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham and the Mobile Metropolitan PlanningOrganization (MPO) began looking at expanding the CommuteSmart program to the entire State of Alabama. Mobilewas one of the first cities to join the program. CommuteSmart offers commuters free online ridematching, carpool services, the Emergency Ride Home program andmore. Find out how this local rideshare program supports and encourages working commuters in their efforts to finda smarter way to work!

What’s Under Construction?
Legislative Updates
The House is not in session, and will return next week. The Senate is in, but not discussing any transportation-related issues thisweek.
Newly elected Senator Corey Booker (D-NJ), a former mayor (making him the 8th former mayor in the Senate), immediatelybecame an important player in the transportation debate – including the reauthorization of MAP-21 – when he was named tothe Environment and Public Works Committee and the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. These are the twostrongest committees for transportation in the Senate.
Funding Opportunities
(note: I am not sure the ICM funding opportunity below should even be shared; however, it is interesting what anIntegrated Corridor Management System is. No Mobile, AL does not have the population and density problems ofDallas, TX or San Diego, CA, but this is the direction of traffic operations. IF we wanted to deploy such a technology,there would be help, and I’m not so sure that our Intelligent Transportation System Diversion Route Planning Studywould not fall under an ICM project…) GRANT: Integrated Corridor Management Deployment Planning (DOT/FHWA) GrantsDeadline: December 31Eligible Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are those that intend to initiate or continue Integrated CorridorManagement (ICM) development with their partners, such as arterial management agencies, tolling authorities, andtransit authorities, to apply for deployment planning grants. This notice seeks applications for available funding forthis program. This funding will be provided to cover a maximum of 80 percent of each proposed program/project.Total costs of each proposed program/project should not exceed $200,000. Up to 10 awards are anticipated, but notguaranteed. Additional information can be found HERE. Applications should be submitted throughhttp://www.grants.gov. For questions about the program discussed herein, contact Mr. Robert Sheehan, FHWA Officeof Transportation Management, (202) 366-6817, or via email at [email protected]; Mr. Brian Cronin, TeamLeader, Research, Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) ITS-Joint Program Office, (202) 366-8841or via email at [email protected].
Round 3 of the Implementation Assistance Program SHRP2, Deadline February 14, 2014: FHWA recently releasedthe recipients of Round 2 grants and announced the schedule for rounds 3 and 4. These grants are intended to helptransportation agencies deploy new products developed under the second Strategic Highway Research Program(SHRP2).

Economic Development Administrationhttp://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.htmlEDA provides strategic investments that foster job creation and attract private investment to support development ineconomically distressed areas of the United States. Under this FFO, EDA solicits applications from both rural andurban areas to provide investments that support construction, non-construction, technical assistance, and revolvingloan fund projects under EDA’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance programs. Grants made underthese programs are designed to leverage existing regional assets to support the implementation of economicdevelopment strategies that advance new ideas and creative approaches to advance economic prosperity indistressed communities. Link to Additional Information: EDA's website Please contact Diane Burnett of SARPC stafffor questions 706-4621. Also, don’t forget SARPC has a revolving fund loan program. http://www.sarpc.org/rlf.asp The RLF is a locally controlled source of capital used to finance small business start-up and expansion whose projectswill create permanent jobs. By combining RLF and bank financing the borrower can realize an effective rate wellbelow market rates.

Washington, DC -- At an awards ceremony on Capitol Hill, the Roadway Safety Foundation and the FederalHighway Administration recognized the Mobile County Public Works Engineering Department for its efforts todecrease “run-off-the-road” crashes on 10 roadways with high rates of these types of crashes.The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) selected Alabama to take part in a focus group to determine whattypes of crashes were most frequent in the state, leading Mobile County to challenge itself to reduce the highnumber of “run-off-the-road” crashes on its roadways.On 68 miles of rural local roadways, there had been 224 "run-off-the-road" type crashes between 2005-2008,resulting in 7 fatalities and 152 injuries.A simple, low-cost solution was implemented to save lives in Mobile County. Traffic Manager James Foster withthe Mobile County Engineer’s Office implemented a plan to install one-directional white raised pavementmarkers adjacent to the white edge-line stripe, improving sight recognition and guidance along the riskystretches of roadway.Based on 2009-2012 crash data, this led the same 10 roadways from 224 crashes to 33, from 7 fatalities to 0,and from 152 injuries to 10. The average crash reduction for all 10 roadways was lowered by 85.3 percent.“The Mobile County Public Works Engineering Department proved it does not need to cost a fortune to savelives,” said Gregory M. Cohen, executive director of the Roadway Safety Foundation.“Raised pavement marker materials are relatively low cost and require far less manpower and machinery toinstall than other crash countermeasures such as rumble strips. Other jurisdictions will surely want to replicatethis cost effective, life-saving solution to their own risky stretches of roadway.”According to County Engineer Joe Ruffer, “We have a duty to operate and manage our roadways as safe aspossible for users. Users that sometimes have limited abilities, engage in risky behaviors, and operate vehicleswith numerous deficiencies. We are like “pre” first-responders, implementing features and giving guidance toreduce crashes before they occur. What James has implemented will give us an additional tool to help all driversand make our roadways even safer.” [continue reading HERE]

A draft rendering of a proposed pedestrian bridge over Alabama 59 in Foley. The City Councilofficially accepted a $4.7 million federal transportation grant that will help fund the bridge just north of U.S. 98 along with adding roughly30 miles of bicycle paths and sidewalks throughout the city. (City of Foley)
FOLEY, Alabama -- City officials are moving forward with the next round of road and walkway improvements,including money for a pedestrian bridge over Alabama 59, after accepting a $4.7 million federal transportationgrant.With city matching funds of 25 percent, the total amount spent will be more than $6 million, Councilman RalphHellmich said. “This will be more than $6.2 million, including city funds, over the next two or three years that ittakes us to complete all this work,” he said. “It’s quite extensive.”The grants are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation Investment Generating EconomicRecovery, or TIGER, program, city officials said. The Foley project will be completed in three phases. The first is apedestrian bridge over Ala. 59 north of the intersection of U.S. 98, Mike Thompson, city administrator, said. Thebridge is intended to provide a safe path for pedestrians over the busy highway and make the downtown areamore accessible to strollers, city officials said. [continue reading HERE]
Daphne's Gator Alley to get $400,000 makeover

DAPHNE, Alabama -- Gator Alley will be getting a $400,000 makeover for its 10th anniversary next year.The city has been awarded a $320,000 Transportation Alternatives Program grant through the AlabamaDepartment of Transportation. With a $92,000 match from the city, the parking area will be nearly doubled insize with permeable pavers added and a new bio-retention system will be constructed to control runoff througha natural stepped pooling process, which is envisioned to become part of the landscaping with native vegetation.The largest chunk of the grant, $225,000, will go toward the purchase of roughly .4 acres adjacent to the currentparking area, which is the key component of the project. Once the purchase is finalized, the billboard on theproperty will be removed.Since the park on North Main Street at D’Olive Creek was constructed in 2004 through a partnership betweenthe city, the Baldwin County Trailblazers and the Alabama Department of Transportation, its popularity isapparent by the look of the worn out gravel and dirt parking area. City official say its one of the highest usedparks in the city.
This rendering shows the planned layout of a vastly improved parking area at Gator Alley onNorth Main Street in Daphne, Ala. The city hopes the project will be complete by Summer 2014. (City of Daphne) The site, under U.S. 98 just south of Interstate 10, serves as a viewing area for alligators and other wildlife in thecreek. Its boardwalk is also a key connector for the more than 30-mile Eastern Shore Trail that runs from USSAlabama Battleship Memorial Park along the Causeway in Mobile to Weeks Bay. Recent improvements at thepark included the construction of a new boardwalk bridge on the west side of U.S. 98. At a meeting lastmonth, Councilman Ron Scott thanked Mayor Dane Haygood and Public Works Director Richard Johnson forspearheading the TAP grant application. [continue reading HERE]

Alabama Road Trips: 52 Great Getaways," by Alabama Media Group and the Alabama Tourism Department, hits shelves and online storesFriday, Nov. 1, 2013.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Pack your bags and start the car. There's a new book on road trips to take withinAlabama on the shelves Friday, and it's chock-full of 52 suggested routes and destinations – that's one for eachweek – guiding visitors from the hills and slopes of North Alabama to the beaches in the south, from the ruralBlack Belt to urban Birmingham.The book, "Alabama Road Trips: 52 Great Getaways,"was produced by Alabama Media Group (which operatesAL.com) in conjunction with the Alabama Tourism Department. Installments from more than a dozen Alabamawriters – Lee Sentell, Colette Boehm, Erin Bass, Verna Gates, Edith Parten, Carolanne Roberts, and many others –cover almost every corner of Alabama in the book's 144 pages. For longtime Alabamians and out-of-statetourists alike, the book both feeds and relieves what, in the book's foreword, Pulitzer-prize winning author RickBragg calls "wanderlust."There are the sorts of trips an Alabama tourist might expect – the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Birmingham'sCivil Rights District, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, and Alabama's gorgeous beaches – and these are great andnecessary trips.But then, "Alabama Road Trips" contains the sort of destinations that offer a tourist – or a lifelong Alabamian – aslice of what Alabama really is.There's the "Pork, Blues and Innertubes" tour, which guides guests from Big Bob Gibson's award-winningbarbecue restaurant in Decatur, to Point Mallard Water Park, and then to Florence for the W.C. Handy Home,Museum and Library. The "Famous Alabamians Hometown Heroes" tour highlights the homes and museums ofbaseball legend Hank Aaron, troubadour Hank Williams, Civil Rights leader Rosa Parks, and inventor GeorgeWashington Carver.Gee's Bend, the home of Alabama's wonderful quilting tradition, is profiled, along with Selma and the St. JamesHotel. Few know that the world headquarters for the Eternal Word Television Network, the biggest religiousmedia network in the world, is located in Irondale – one tour guides you through its studios and then toCullman's Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Gainesville, once the state's third largest city and home tosome still-beautiful homes, is a destination, along with Livingston, where the book suggests you eat at theMennonite bakery, called Touch of Home (although the locals just call it "the bakery").Food is one of Alabama's great assets, as the Alabama Tourism Department noted last year when it declared2012 "The Year of Alabama Food." Culinary tours fill the road trip book as well – in addition to the places alreadymentioned, the Frank Stitt restaurants in Birmingham are prominently featured, as are Hot & Hot Fish Club andOllie Irene. Elsewhere in Alabama, the Belle Chevre Creamery in Elkmont, the Grand in Fairhope, the Hangout inGulf Shores, and many other spots are featured. Dining recommendations accompany almost every one of thebook's 52 tours.Bragg sums up the book perfectly in his foreword:"This is a book about road trips, about the things you can see and eat and do in my state, from Florence toFoley," Bragg writes. "In these pages are stories that make you hungry, or make you want to get up and go, or,like me, make you remember, and maybe hunt for your car keys. It reminds me of things that made my lifericher, and, on almost every page, makes me realize what I have missed.""Alabama Road Trips" is on sale now in Books-A-Million stores and available atThe Alabama Media GroupOnline Store for $20. Amazon will sell the book as well.
