INTRODUCTION
TRANSPORTATION UNIFIED WORK PROGRAM
The projects identified will act as the Unified Work Program (UWP)for the Omaha-Council Bluffs
metropolitan area. They describe the work to be done for the continuing transportation planning process
for FY 1998, and will serve as the basis for funding within the fiscal year.
The development of a Unified Work Program, as described in the 23 CFR, Part 450 and 49 CFR, Part
613, is to serve as a means to promote the integration of modal planning coordination and to relate these
activities to comprehensive planning.
During the development of the FY 98 Unified Work Program a priority setting process was used to
identify programs and projects that should be included in the work program.
Participants in this process included the MAPA Council of Officials, MAPA Board of Directors and
their technical advisory committees. Results of this process are reflected by the projects in this work
program and the associated funding levels. Participants in the transportation planning activities are
outlined in the MAPA Interlocal Agreement and committee Operating Rules. The Transportation Technical
Advisory Committee provides the direction for the development of the UWP and monitors progress of the
work.
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
MAPA is designated as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Omaha-Council Bluffs
urban area. The MAPA Council of Officials is the overall policy body for agency with the Board of
Directors providing guidance for all MAPA projects, studies and programs. In addition, committees have
been organized to provide technical advice. The relationship, responsibility and composition of the MAPA
Council of Officials and Board of Directors and their committees are also described in the MAPA Interlocal
Agreement and committee Operating Rules.

and non-transportation funds.
PROPOSED BUDGET
Budget summary tables are attached which show estimated expenditures by project and funding agency.
The MAPA program is funded using FHWA PL and FTA Section 5303 funds(through the Nebraska
Department of Roads and the Iowa Department of Transportation) in shares of 78% PL and 22% Section
5303 for most work elements. Surface Transportation Program (STP) and FTA non urban planning funds
are utilized in Work Element 460. The Nebraska share for PL and Section 5303 funds is approximately
90% and the Iowa share is 10%. The local match is 20%for all federal funds. Five counties contribute to
provide the local match in the following percentages: Douglas County, 66%; Sarpy County, 16%;
Pottawattamie County, 13% Washington County, 3%; and Mills County, 2%; Harrison and Shelby
counties, also provide local match in Work Element 460. The FY 1998 program is based on the
availability of PL, Section 5303, STP and FTA non urban funds as directly ear-marked or estimated at this
time. Additional support for transportation planning activities is also provided by the Nebraska Department
of Roads and the Iowa Department of Transportation through HPR funding as identified in the budget
summary table.
ISTEA TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FACTORS
The major purpose of the transportation program at MAPA is to provide necessary planning such that
the transportation needs of the residents of the region will be met to the degree possible with available
resources. This transportation concern includes all modes- highway, transit, non-vehicular, air, rail, and
water. The provision of transportation services must also be consistent and compatible with the overall
goals and development of the region. Major considerations include the environment, energy conservation,
regional growth patterns and land use, tourism and recreation and a wise and efficient use of economic
resources. The transportation planning program at MAPA is formulated to support the goals and
objectives of the region. This program will also contain activities to assist in the implementation of
provisions contained in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency act(ISTEA)of 1991 as amended.
The transportation planning process for the MAPA area, will at a minimum, consider the following:
1. The preservation of existing transportation facilities and, where practical, ways to meet
transportation needs by using existing transportation facilities more efficiently. This factor is
explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 410.10, 410.11, 410.12, 420.5, 430.2,
440.2, 470.1, 480.1, 480.2, 480.3, 480.4, and 480.5.
2. The consistency of transportation planning with applicable Federal, State, and local energy
conservation programs, goals, and objectives. This factor is explicitly considered in work
activities 410.6, 450.3, and 470.1.
3. The need to relieve congestion and prevent congestion from occurring where it does not yet
occur. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 410.11, 410.12,
440.1, 470.1, 480.1, 480.2, 480.3, 480.4, 480.4, and 480.5.
4. The likely effect of transportation policy decisions on land use and development and the
consistency of transportation plans and programs with the provisions of all applicable short-
and long-term land use and development plans. This factor is explicitly considered in work
activities 410.10, 420.1, 660.2, 660.3, 660.6, 660.7 and 660.8.
5. The programming of expenditures on transportation enhancement activities in the TIP. This
factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6 and 410.9.
6. The effects of all transportation projects to be undertaken within the metropolitan area, without
regard to whether such projects are publicly funded. This factor is explicitly considered in work
activities 410.6, 410.9. 660.8 and 740.1.
ii
7. International border crossings and access to ports, airports, intermodal transportation facilities,
major freight distribution routes, national parks, recreation areas, monuments and historic
sites, and military installations. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6,
410.9 and 470.1.
8. The need for connectivity of transportation facilities within the metropolitan area with
transportation facilities outside the metropolitan area. This factor is explicitly considered in
work activities 410.6, 410.8, 410.9, 460.1, 460.2, 470.1, 480.1, 480.2, 480.3, 480.4 and 480.5.
9. The transportation needs identified through use of the management systems identified in
ISTEA. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 470.1, and 470.2.
10. The preservation of rights-of-way for construction of future transportation projects, including
identification of unused corridors and identification of those corridors for which action is most
needed to prevent destruction or loss. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities
410.4, 410.6, 410.9, 410.10, 410.11, and 410.2.
11. Methods to enhance the efficient movement of freight. This factor is explicitly considered in
work activities 410.6. 410.9 and 470.1.
12. The use of life-cycle costs in the design and engineering of bridges, tunnels, or pavement.
This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 430.1, 430.2, 430.3, and
470.1.
13. The overall social, economic, energy, and environmental effects of transportation decisions.
This will include but not be limited to impacts to housing, community development and air
quality. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 410.10, 420.1,
450.1, 450.3, 450.5 and 660.8.
14. Methods to expand and enhance transit services and to increase the use of such services.
This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6, 410.9, 410.10, 420.6, 440.1, 440.2,
450.2, 450.6, 470.1, 480.1, 480.2, 480.3, 480.4, 480.4 and 480.5.
15. Capital investments that would result in increased security in transit systems. This factor is
explicitly considered in work activities 410.9, 450.4 and 470.5.
16. Recreational travel and tourism. This factor is explicitly considered in work activities 410.6,
410.9, 410.10, 440.1, 450.2, 460.1, 460.2, 480.1 and 480.2.

OMAHA-COUNCIL BLUFFS METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING AGENCY(MAPA)
PROPOSED COST ALLOCATION PLAN
July 1, 1997
SECTION 1.
GENERAL
The Cost Allocation Plan of MAPA is the basis of assigning costs equitably to all projects during each
fiscal year. Under the plan, the total costs assigned to each project are comprised of both direct and
indirect costs. All direct and indirect costs are further identified as to personnel and non-personnel costs.
The distinctions of cost allocation are described in the following definitions.
DEFINITIONS
Direct Personnel Costs are gross costs of all personnel that have direct assignment or responsibilities
identifiable to specific projects. Personnel accounted for under direct personnel costs are included in
Schedule A.
Direct Non-Personnel Costs are the cost of non-personnel items or service clearly incurred by specific
projects. Direct non-personnel costs include project related items such as contracted services, project
report publishing, and reproductions,travel, reference materials, staff development, long-distance
telephone calls, postage, memberships, public notices, data processing, forums, and other costs similarly
identifiable to specific projects. (See Schedule B).
Indirect Personnel Costs are gross costs of all personnel that are not directly assigned to specific projects
but rather are signed to support all project activities. Personnel accounted for under indirect personnel
costs are included in Schedule C.
Indirect Non-personnel Costs are the costs of all non-personnel items or services that are not directly
attributed to specific projects but rather are attributed to overall operations of the agency including all
projects. Indirect non-personnel costs include such administrative items as office rent, equipment
rent/maintenance, base telephone and overall agency long distance calls, audit, postage, public notices,
travel, staff development, depreciation, insurance/bonds, office supplies, reproductions/publications,
reference materials, agency memberships, agency annual meeting, data processing, and other such costs
similarly attributed to total agency and all project support. (See Schedule D).
In-kind services will be treated as a direct expense to those projects directly benefiting from this service.
An hourly rate that is consistent with regular rates paid for similar work will be used to determine the value
of personal services. Travel and supplies contributed must be valued, per MAPA Administrative Policy
and Procedures. (See Schedule E).
COST ALLOCATION TO PROJECTS
Each project that is active during the fiscal year receives an allocation of costs on a monthly (*) basis as
follows:
A. Direct personnel costs for the month
B. Direct non-personnel costs for the month
C. A share of all indirect costs for the month
The monthly share of indirect costs charged to each project is determined by the ratio of each respective
projects direct personnel costs relative to the total direct personnel costs of all projects.
