ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
2-SmartScale Discussion-Continued (see attached): Staff continued with a follow-up of the
SmartScale process used by the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment to develop a
recommended funding list for the current third round. At the March meeting Staff gave a
breakdown (1) District Grant, (2) Statewide High Priority and (3) Continuation of Statewide High
Priority of the SmartScale process. Staff gave an overview of the types of projects being funded,
five (5) of the Staunton District’s 16 projects proposed to be funded are sidewalks, and two (2)
streetscapes with lighting improvements. That is a total of seven (7) projects that do not add to
the roadway traffic. Three (3) of the projects qualified for Statewide High Priority funds.
SmartScale round three observations and key concerns were discussed based upon the Staunton
District results. In round three, only the benefit score is used not the Smartscale score. Staff
mentioned that the summary discussed is directly from the SmartScale.org website. The two
righthand columns on each side have been added by Staff, as well as, any red or yellow
highlights. The Committee discussed ideas to get the word out to the citizens on how the money
was spent locally. Delegate LaRock spoke to the Committee about getting the Legislators
involved on how the SmartScale process needs to get back to the way it was intended to work
under the legislation. After much discussion, the Committee recommended that Staff draft a
Resolution with the concerns of SmartScale for the Committee to review for recommendation
to the Board of Supervisors. Also, a presentation be presented to the Board of Supervisors by
Staff on the concerns which were recommended. The resolution is under development and will
be available at the Board meeting to accompany the staff presentation.
ITEMS FOR INFORMATION ONLY:
NOTE: This is a stand-alone public hearing item on the Board agenda May 22nd
1-Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plan 2019-2020 Updates: (see attached): Staff gave
an overview of the Interstate, Primary and Secondary Road improvement plans. The Interstate
and Primary Plans advise VDOT of the important local priorities in the system. The Secondary
Plan is a cooperative effort for VDOT to allocate secondary funds for projects within Frederick
County. Staff has made some minor updates to the Interstate and Primary plans to better
organize and recognize development patterns for improvements to our area. Also, providing
consistency with the recent study efforts. Staff discussed modifying some of the language in the
Interstate Road Improvement Plan beginning with Priority 1 Exit 313 to Bridge Reconstruction
from re-decking and the expansion of both VDOT safety patrols and the message signs. Also, the
widening Priorities I-81 with a modification to separate widening and interchange priorities as
well as adding a 4th widening priority for I-81 South from Exit 307 to Warren County. The Primary
Road modification raised by Mr. Oates would be to add Priority 1D to Route 37 Bypass Phases.
The Secondary Plan is an ongoing transportation effort on the County’s Secondary system. The
Secondary Plan has two (2) roadways that have moved from the Unscheduled to the Scheduled
list which are Fishel Road and Canterburg Road. The Unscheduled list had one (1) project added
which was Knob Road. Judith McCann-Slaughter asked about grant funding which would be
available. VDOT does not see any resources available currently. VDOT is to verify the mileage of
Timberlakes Lane on the Non-Hardsurface Road Improvement Projects 2018-2019 through
2023/2024.
Upon a motion by, Mr. Gary Oates seconded by Mr. James Racey the Committee recommended
to forward as modified the Interstate, Primary and Secondary Improvement Road Plans to the
Board for recommendation of approval.
3-MPO Unified Planning Work Program (see attached): Staff gave an overview of the draft
Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) prepared by the WinFred Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) for FY 2020. This is required annually on how Federal and Local dollars that
are received are spent. The UPWP provides establishment for coordination of transportation
planning for the MPO. Staff recommended that the signal light coordination be added to the
Route 11 north area study. VDOT is looking into other software for the signal coordination that
can be controlled more at the local level. The Exit 313/Route 50/Route 522 area is a study that
came out of the Committee. Also, discussed was the Route 7 Corridor Study Carryover from
FY19 that is a STAR program study, the map will be updated. The Committee recommended
that Staff make the comments suggested to the draft for final adoption.

6-Other
SmartScale Round 3 Observations and Key Concerns based upon Staunton District Results
1. 5 of the Staunton District’s 16 proposed to be funded projects are sidewalks, and two more are
streetscape and lighting improvements, totaling 7 projects that do not add roadway capacity. 3
of these projects even qualified for Statewide High Priority funds.
• Given the extremely limited funds with which we are dealing, the bar must be much
higher for these types of projects. They must be able to demonstrate that they will take
cars off the roads.
2. The most expensive project currently recommended for funding in the Staunton District is $3.5
million for a road diet/sidewalk project in Harrisonburg.
3. SmartScale funds are allocated on a three-step process as follows.
a. Step 1 – District Grant ($389.9 M statewide, just $26.1 M ,6.7%, for Staunton) –
SmartScale score used for project selection
i. This is the smallest pot of money that localities get to compete for in the
SmartScale process. Projects that qualify for Statewide High Priority funds that
also qualify for District Grant are REQUIRED to be considered for district grant as
well. Localities are not allowed to choose to only compete for the larger pot of
money for those projects. This creates a situation where projects that would
have been the most competitive for the larger pot of money are funded out of
the smaller district grant funds.
b. Step 2 – Statewide High Priority – SmartScale score used for project selection
i. As Step 2 is begun there is another $389.9 M available for allocation under
Statewide High Priority. HOWEVER, to be considered in this round at all a
project must either have been only partially funded in Step 1 while being eligible
for High Priority dollars or be eligible only for High Priority funds AND have
scored higher than the lowest scoring project that was funded in Step 1 IN YOUR
DISTRICT. This limiting process resulted in just 11 projects being recommended
to receive funding in Step 2 thus leaving significant funding available for what
happens in Step 3. Only 1 of the 11 projects recommended for funding is in
Staunton District ($3.2 M). There were 4 districts which received nothing in
Step 2. $81.6 M (21%) of the $389.9 M that was available for High Priority
Projects was allocated in Step 2.
c. Step 3 – Continuation of Statewide High Priority – SmartScale score NOT used for
project selection. Only the benefit score used.
i. As Step 3 is begun there is $308.3 M remaining. With the exception of $27.4 M
which is being treated as residual and the CTB is still discussing all of the
remaining funds totaling $280.9 M is being allocated to 3 projects. $200 M to
the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, $30.9 M to the Southern Virginia Mega Site
in Lynchburg, and $50 M to Transit in Northern Virginia.
4. Staunton District received 6.7% of the State’s $389.9 M District Grant funding and 0.8% of the
State’s $389.9 M in Statewide High Priority funds.
• Due to this extremely limited amount of funds in Staunton the lowest project score for
District Grant funding in Staunton was 6.36. Hampton Roads was able to fund 12
projects with lower scores via District Grant. Of those 12, 7 have scores of less than 3
and 4 had scores of less than 2.
5. Of the 14 projects that received funds under the High Priority Projects funds the SmartScale
scores ranged from 2.7 to 49.07.
• The 3 lowest scores of projects recommended for funding were 2.7, 2.99, 3.71 and these
projects received $256.37 M or 65.7% of the total Statewide High Priority funds.
• The Staunton District had 13 projects that qualified for Statewide High Priority funds
with SmartScale scores greater than 3.71 that were not even considered for funding
under Step 2 due to the limiting process described in 3b of this document.

I-81 Improvements:
Provide additional travel lanes on the main line, evaluate collector-distributor lanes
adjacent to the main line, modifications to existing interchange areas, and develop new
interchange areas and bridge crossings of the main line as recommended by the WinFred
MPO Long Range Plan.
In addition, as the State continues to work toward an ultimate plan for the I-81 widening,
the County of Frederick continues to support the study of Eastern Route 37 as a potential
corridor on new location as an alternative for that effort.
Moreover, the County of Frederick supports exploration of the potential for rail
transportation as a component of the Interstate 81 Corridor improvements.
Interchange Priorities
1. Exit 313 - Bridge re-decking, safety improvements, and capacity expansion.
2. Exit 317 – Realign northbound exit ramp and increase merge areas at the other
ramps. Redbud Road realignment to accommodate ramp realignment.
3. Exit 310 - Phase 2 of the FHWA approved interchange modifications.
4. Exit 307 – Safety and capacity improvements to the existing facility while
continuing to promote the future relocation further south to the South Frederick
Parkway.
5. Spot Improvements on I-81 in Frederick County. Provide spot improvements at
various interchanges to increase capacity and/or enhance safety for the motoring
public.
Interstate Widening Priorities
1. Widen I-81 from Route 50/17 Exit 313 to Route 11 Exit 317
2. Widen I-81 from Route 277 Exit 307 to Route 50/17 Exit 313. This should
include the relocation of Exit 307.
3. Widen the remainder of I-81 in Frederick County to the West Virginia State
line in the North and to the Warren County Line in the South
Intelligent Transportation Systems and Incident Management
1. Implementation of VDOT safety patrols.
2. Implement more variable message signs along the I-81 corridor and approaches.

PRIMARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
for
FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Frederick County Transportation Committee: 4/22/2019
Frederick County Planning Commission:
Frederick County Board of Supervisors:
All upgrades to primary system roadways that are not limited access should include
implementation of access management principles to improve safety and efficiency wherever
possible.
1) Route 37 Bypass
A. Route 37 - Phase 1
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the southern segment of the Route 37 Eastern Bypass from Interstate
I-81 to Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South).
B. Route 37 - Phase 2
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the preferred alternative between existing Route 37 around Stonewall
Industrial Park and Route 7.
C. Route 37 - Phase 3
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the preferred alternative between Route 7 and Route 522.
2) Route 11 (North and South of Winchester)
A) Establish an Urban Divided Six Lane System:
From: Northern limits of the City of Winchester
To: Intersection of Cedar Hill Road
B) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Southern limits of the City of Winchester
To: Renaissance Drive
C) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Intersection of Cedar Hill Road
To: West Virginia line
3) Route 277 (East of Stephens City)
Upgrade of the overall corridor to a 4-lane divided system with improved access
management and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
A) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: I-81
To: Double Church Road
B) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Double Church Road
To: Warrior Drive
C) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Warrior Drive
To: White Oak Road
D) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: White Oak Road
To: Route 277
4) Route 7 – Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: Exit 315 Interchange
To: Future Route 37 Interchange
5) Route 50 East and West
A) Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: The Interchange at Exit 313
To: The Future Route 37 Interchange
B) Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: The Interchange with Route 37
To: Poorhouse Road
6) South Frederick County Parkway:
From: Relocated Exit 307
To: Intersection with Route 277 approximately 1 mile west of the intersection of
Route 277 and Route 522
This is a planned new roadway with limited access points serving a mixture of
predominantly commercial and industrial development.
There is a need to study this project in conjunction with the Exit 307 relocation and
planning for Route 277 improvements noted in item 3.
Phasing of this project is not yet clearly defined; however general phasing would be from
West to East with the clear first phase being from relocated Exit 307 to Warrior Drive.
7) Route 522 and Costello Drive
Add additional left turn lane capacity on Route 522 southbound for turns onto Costello
Drive.
8) Commuter Park and Ride Lots
Establish a new park and ride facility along the Berryville Pike (Route 7) corridor. Work
with the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission to determine appropriate
locations for park and ride facilities at other strategic locations within the County’s Urban
Development Area. For Park and Ride locations in Frederick County the primary goal
should be that they are situated in such a manner that they reduce traffic in Frederick
County in addition to adjacent localities.

NON-HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2018/2019 through 2023/2024
Non-Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of
non-hardsurfaced secondary roads. Non-Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an
objective rating system, which considers average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures;
physical road conditions including geometrics, drainage, and accident reports; school bus routing;
and the time that project requests have been on the Secondary Road Improvement Plan.

FY 2020 UPWP 7
INTRODUCTION
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for transportation planning identifies all activities
to be undertaken in the Winchester-Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization
(WinFred MPO) study area for Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020). The UPWP
provides a mechanism for the coordination of transportation planning activities in the region and
is required as a basis for and condition of all federal funding assistance for transportation
planning by the joint metropolitan planning regulations of the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
The work tasks within this UPWP are reflective of issues and concerns originating from
transportation agencies at the federal, state and local levels. The descriptions of the tasks to be
accomplished and the budgets for these tasks are based on a best estimate of what can be
accomplished within the confines of available federal, state and local resources.
Statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes are governed by Federal law (23
USC 134 and 135). Federal planning regulations are codified in 23 CFR 450.
Since the 1962 Federal-aid Highway Act, federal legislation authorizing expenditure of funds for
surface transportation has required metropolitan area transportation plans and programs to be
developed through a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive (3-C) planning process. Over
successive authorization cycles culminating with the passage of the Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act in December 2015, Congress has added and revised the substantive
content expected from the 3-C planning processes.
Transportation planning provides the information, tools, and public input needed for improving
transportation system performance. Transportation planning should reflect the community's
vision for its future. It should also include a comprehensive consideration of possible strategies;
an evaluation process that encompasses diverse viewpoints; the collaborative participation of
relevant transportation-related agencies and organizations; and an open, timely, and meaningful
involvement of the public. Transportation planning requires a comprehensive, holistic look at the
needs and the future of the region and its inhabitants.
Both the FHWA and FTA encourage MPOs to give priority to the following planning emphasis
areas in their UPWPs in Fiscal Year 2020:
Performance-Based Planning and Programming. Performance-based planning and
programming includes using transportation performance measures, setting targets, reporting
performance, and programming transportation investments directed toward the achievement of
transportation system performance outcomes. In FY ’19 the MPO adopted targets for bridge and
pavement condition, highway performance, and public transit asset condition; and will revise its
Constrained Long-Range Plan, selecting projects based on expected contribution toward meeting
performance targets.
Regional Models of Cooperation – Ensure a Regional Approach to Transportation Planning by
Promoting Cooperation and Coordination across Transit Agency, MPO and State Boundaries.
A coordinated approach supports common goals and capitalizes on opportunities related to

project delivery, congestion management, safety, freight, livability, and commerce across
boundaries. The WinFred MPO shares boundaries with the Hagerstown/Eastern Panhandle MPO
(WV & MD), two counties (Clarke, VA and Berkeley, WV) and one state (West Virginia).
Interstate 81, the region’s main highway, enters the MPO planning area from the north at the
West Virginia line. Routes 7, 17/50, and 522 enter the planning area from adjacent Clarke
County, VA. In addition, the MPO lies within the five-county planning district of the Northern
Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC). During FY ’20 the MPO will cooperate
and coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions along the I-81 corridor in providing input into a
corridor-wide improvement plan and funding feasibility study as required by 2018 state
legislation.
Ladders of Opportunity – Access to Essential Services including employment, health care,
schools/education, and recreation. Recent UPWP tasks addressing access needs include bus
stop, system performance and marketing studies for Winchester Transit; and the 2014 Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan update. The MPO participates in the updating of the Section 5310
Coordinated Human Services Mobility Plan (managed by DRPT and the Shenandoah Area
Agency on Aging). In FY ’16 under Work Task 4 the MPO studied the feasibility of extending
transit service from Winchester to Lord Fairfax Community College. In FY ’18 under Task 6
work was completed on a study of design alternatives for a four-mile north-south bikeway in the
City of Winchester, moving toward implementation the highest priority project in the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan.
Metropolitan Planning Area
Transportation planning processes are required to be organized and directed for all urbanized
areas (UZAs) having a population of 50,000 or greater, as delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau,
by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). MPOs are established for a metropolitan
planning area (MPA) that must contain, at a minimum, the Census Bureau delineated urbanized
area and the area expected to become urbanized in the next 20 years. An MPO, its planning
boundaries and membership and voting structure are established and designated by agreement
between local officials and the Governor (23 CFR 450.310).
The WinFred MPO planning area consists of the City of Winchester, the Town of Stephens City,
the Urbanized Area of Frederick County, and the area of Frederick County projected to be
urbanized by the year 2020 (see map on following page).
As reported by FHWA for 2010, the WinFred MPO Urbanized Area population was 78,440 and
it encompasses a land area of approximately 103 sq. miles.

Responsibilities for Transportation Planning
The WinFred Metropolitan Planning Organization is the organization responsible for conducting
the continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated (3-C) planning process for the Winchester-
Frederick County Urbanized Area in accordance with requirements of Section 134 (Title 23
U.S.C.) of the Federal Highway Act of 1962, and Section 5303 of the Federal Transit Act. The
WinFred MPO is the official Metropolitan Planning Organization for the urbanized area,
designated by the Governor of Virginia, under Section 134 of the Federal Aid Highway Act, and
the joint metropolitan planning regulations of FHWA and FTA.
The policy making body of the WinFred MPO is the Policy Board that consists of 8 voting
members. These include 3 representatives from the City of Winchester, 3 representatives from
Frederick County, 1 representative from the Town of Stephens City, and 1 representative from
VDOT. Other agencies with non-voting membership on the WinFred MPO Policy Board include
the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Virginia Department of Aviation,
Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration.
The Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC) provides staff support to the
WinFred MPO. NSVRC staff members, in cooperation with the MPOs member agencies,
collect, analyze and evaluate demographic, land use, and transportation data to gain a better
understanding of the transportation system requirements of the area. Special studies, research,
and other work tasks requested by the MPO are the responsibility of the NSVRC to plan and
coordinate. Consultant assistance may be sought when required to complete work tasks. NSVRC
also prepares materials for use at the Policy Board, Technical Advisory and Citizens Advisory
Committee meetings as well as any sub-committee meetings that are scheduled.
NSVRC staff will participate in all WinFred MPO meetings and provide required staff support
and administration of the transportation planning program. In addition, staff members will
represent the MPO at any meetings with federal, state, and local organizations as necessary.
Total Proposed Funding by Federal Source for FY 2020
Metropolitan Planning Funds (PL funds) are provided from the Federal Highway Trust Fund and
distributed by State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to MPOs to conduct the planning
activities required by Title 23 of the U.S. Code 134. PL funds are distributed to States based on a
ratio of urbanized-area population in individual States to the total nationwide urbanized-area
population. State DOTs then distribute this funding to the MPOs in their State based on a
formula agreed to by the MPOs and approved by their FHWA Division Office.
The primary funding source for transportation planning activities included in this work program
are the FHWA Section 112 (PL) and FTA Section 5303. The proposed funding amounts
(including state and local matching funds) for completion of tasks described in this UPWP are
shown in Figure 2.
