Champaign-Urbana Urban Area Human Service Transportation Plan (HSTP) Final Approved
December 14th, 2023
The purpose of the Human Service Transportation Plan (HSTP) is to evaluate existing transportation services, identify the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, and establish goals and strategies for meeting these needs within the Champaign-Urbana Urban Area. The HSTP program was originally instated to meet coordination requirements set forth in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). HSTPs must be updated every five years as required by federal statute.
At the December 6 and December 13 CUUATS Technical and Policy Committee meetings, the 2020 final plan was presented and approved. The resolution was also posted to the HSTP portion of the Planning and Community Development’s website under Related Documents.
Federal Highway Safety Performance Measure (PM1) Targets for 2023 Approved
December 14th, 2023
Federal legislation requires state DOTs and MPOs to establish targets for three highway performance measures: Highway Safety (PM1), Pavement and Bridge Condition (PM2), and System Performance (PM3). IDOT sets annual targets for PM1 every year. MPOs have 180 days after DOTs adopt statewide targets to accept the DOT’s targets or to set their own targets for the metropolitan planning area (MPA). IDOT evaluates progress toward the targets every year for PM1 and every two years. After evaluation, IDOT and the MPOs have an opportunity to adjust the future targets. The suggested PM1 targets was presented and approved at the CUUATS Technical Committee meeting on Wednesday December 6 and the CUUATS Policy Committee meeting on Wednesday December 13.
Additional information regarding the federal performance measures can be found on the CUUATS Federal Performance Measure Report Card (Link: Welcome to Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (ccrpc.org)).
