UNIFIED WORK PROGRAM FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
LUBBOCK URBANIZED AREA
FY 1991 (October 1, 1990 to September 30, 1991)
Introduction
For several years, the Department of Transportation, through its
modal administrations, has promoted the development of an annual
Unified Work Program to describe intermodal, comprehensive
transportation planning in each urbanized area. This single
program was designed to be the basis for application of Federal
transportation planning funds to each of the DOT modal
administrations.
The Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1973 and the Surface
Transportation Act of 1978 include provisions which place even
more emphasis on the need for a unified transportation planning
work program. By providing Federal -Aid Urban System funds for
highway improvements or for mass transportation at the local
elected official's option, this act reinforces the need for a
planning process which' considers the needs of each area on an
individual basis and then analyzes highway and mass
transportation needs together.
In addition, Section 112 of both highway acts provides planning
' funds which are to "...be made available by the State..." for
comprehensive transportation planning. These Section 112 "PL"
funds combined with Urban Mass Transportation Section 8 and 9
funds represent the Federal Assistance that should be included in
a single unified program.
This Unified Planning Work Program has been developed to
coordinate the various transportation planning functions of the
City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation, FHWA, UMTA, and FAA within Lubbock County.
This Unified Planning Work Program covers FY 1991 October 1, 1990
to September 30, 1991).
ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
The organization of the Study as it presently operates is
outlined in the Continuing Phase Agreement and consists of a
Policy Advisory Committee, a Steering Committee, (which serves as
the Metropolitan Planning Organization), and a
1
M
Planning Coordinator. Membership and
planning Coordinator are set forth in
Agreement and the Prospectus for the
Study.
responsibilities of the
the Continuing Phase
Lubbock Urban Transportation
In the interest of greater efficiency and to permit individual
studies to be tailored by the representatives of local government
to best meet the needs of the community, the Commission of the
Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has
issued Minute Order No. 76787 providing considerable latitude for
local governments to exercise prerogatives in tailoring
transportation planning to best suit their area. Each study area
now has the option of continuing under the two committee
structure -or choosing to replace this structure with one
committee. The City of Lubbock and Lubbock County, signatories
to the planning agreement, have chosen to continue the present
two committee structure.
Background Information
The present agreement between the State and the Metropolitan
Planning Organization was originally executed September 10, 1980
and a new contract was executed Ju,ne 25, 1990. The agreement is
revised each year by the inclusion of the approved Unified Work
Program as part of the agreement.
The current agreement between the Office of the Governor of the
State of Texas and the Steering Committee of the Lubbock Urban
Transportation Study (MPO), signed August 26, 1988 is valid until
the Steering Committee is no longer designated as Metropolitan
Planning' Organization (MPO).
Citizen Participation
It is general policy that all meetings of the Steering Committee
and the Policy Advisory Committee are open to the public. News
releases are prepared and submitted to local radio and television
stations and newspapers prior to'meeting dates. To encourage
public participation, these releases give the planned agenda,
dates, and places of meetings. Notices of meetings are posted in
a number of public places. Particular attention is given to
notifying minority groups about proposed meetings. Notices are
posted in public places and all newspapers with large minority
circulation are provided with the news releases. Public hearings
are held to discuss location and design of all major construction
projects. The monthly meeting of the Transit Advisory Board is
open to the public and welcomes citizen input.
Environmental Considerations
Proper transportation planning allows the construction of street
and highway projects to enhance rather than degrade the quality
of life in an urban area. Open space, parks, and recreational
facilities are important environmental factors. It is becoming
more and more important in our transportation planning that
additional attention be given not only to the preservation and
enhancement of existing open space, but also to the providing of
additional open space in anticipation of future development.
Similarly, conscientious attention should be given to the
preservation of historical sites and buildings.
Another very important environmental consideration is the quality
of the air which man breathes. The Lubbock Area air quality is
consistent with the State Air Quality Plan. If the Lubbock Urban
Transportation Study Area fails to meet the minimum requirements
of the State Air Quality Plan, the Metropolitan Planning
Organization will take the appropriate steps.
Energy Considerations
General public interest in energy conservation seems to depend
directly upon unstable fuel prices. When fuel prices remain
stable or decrease, there seems to be a general apathy toward
conservation measures. Task 502.12, FY 1982 Unified Work
Program, called for a two stage formation of an Energy
Contingency Plan. The first stage provided for compiling general
information concerning energy conservation and contingency
planning and then using only that information which was pertinent
to the development of an energy plan specifically for Lubbock.
This stage is complete. The second stage called for development
of the plan with input and cooperation from the general public as
well as the major manufacturers of the city. This interest and
input is not presently available. Information gathered under
stage one of the task will be preserved and used as the beginning
step for development of an energy plan when community interest is
revived.
Energy contingency planning and conservation efforts have
progressed -in the Lubbock area. Citibus, the local transit
company, has completed a preliminary plan for dealing with future
fuel shortages. The City of Lubbock has developed strategies for
the most effective use of city owned vehicles during a fuel
crisis. Presently a new system will reduce traffic delays and
conserve energy through more efficient vehicle movement. A
Traffic Management Team has been instituted for use in Lubbock.
This team is composed of city, county, and state personnel with
traffic operation
responsibility. The team objective is to identify and eliminate
short range problems of a low cost nature. The team action will
permit more efficient traffic movement and consequently will save
fuel.
General Work Program
The Transportation Plan has been completed with a base year of
1980 and projections through 2005. Tasks presently underway
include update of present land use, traffic counts, and a serial
zone map for use with traffic assignments. A new traffic
assignment will be done with the new traffic count completed in
April & May 1990.
j,
The Study for Improvements at 10 High Accident Locations and
Census Bureau/MPO Cooperative Assistance Program are complete and
some of the recommendations in the Accident Study are being
implemented.
Proposed tasks in the FY 1991 UWP continue a task for making land
use information available by serial zone through use of the
computer. As the update progresses, the elements of the plan
will be examined individually. The Study of the feasibility of
upgrading Brownfield Road to freeway status was complete in Fy
1987 and plans are being prepared for a construction project to
make this plan a reality. A study for .improvements at the top 10
high accident locations was undertaken in FY 1989 and was
completed in FY 1989. The study produced a comprehensive report
documenting and evaluating the number and type of accidents
occurring, together with conditions at the time of the accidents.
Recommendations were made to improve the safety and operation of
the intersections and some of these recommendations have been
implemented..
The Census Bureau/MPO Cooperative Assistance Program has
supplied all the information the Census Bureau needed prior to
Census time. A workplace file and spotted maps have been
furnished and the work with major employers is underway.
This completes this task.
The Parking Study of the CBD of the City of Lubbock will be
completed by September 30, 1990. The contractor for this study
is Wilbur.Smith & Associates.
To meet objectives and concerns of the Study Area, the following
tasks are scheduled during Fiscal Year 1991 (October 1, 1990
through September 30, 1991).

TASK 101 - Program Development, Management and Coordination
Work elements in this activity are basically administrative and
management tasks associated with the function and coordination of
the multimodal transportation planning process. The development
of goals, objectives, and policies; committee structures and
staffing; interagency linkage and information; and staffing of
various work elements are the main concern of transportation
planning coordination. Required duties include: informing the
public and committee members of meetings, preparation of meeting
agenda and minutes, and attendance at various meetings. These
duties are not always chargeable to any one work element, but are
an integral part of overall transportation planning.
Processing the necessary agreements and resolutions, preparing
the Unified Work Program, The Transportation Improvement Program,
and coordinating all material needed for the annual certification
review are other necessary administrative functions performed by
the Office of the Planning Coordinator, State Department of
Highways and Public Transportation, acting as staff for the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

Unified Planning Work Program
FY 1990-91 and FY 1991-92
Objectives
The objectives of this task are: to examine the Transit System
operated by the subsidized private operator, City Transit Management
Co., Inc; to prepare recommendations for .action which could improve
service and/or reduce deficits; and to update and review previous
work with an ongoing process as may be required by UMTA for capital
and operating assistance programs.
Previous work
The FY88-89 Technical Study included alternative financial and
operational scenarios, monitor system and service development;
maintenance of eligibility; develop a comprehensive long-range
service plan; and purchase IBM (or compatible) computer system.

TASK 701.31
Land Use Program Update
Objective
To provide land use data for projecting traffic volumes, the
Lubbock Urbanized Area is divided into Serial Zones. The Lubbock
Land Use Computer Program has a serial zone detail for each
parcel of land in Lubbock. Computer information regarding land
use, ownership or platted status changes on the existing 70,000
plus parcels each year. Continual update is approximately 20% of
total parcels each year. Continual update is required for
accuracy and completeness of the land use data, as well -as the
addition of information for newly developed and/or annexed areas.
The task will provide personnel to continue addition of the
parcel records and validation of existing data for the Program,
which will ensure quality computer aided aggregation of land use
data available for future serial zone analysis.
Develop a base year 1990 serial zone and system map. Develop a
base year zonal inventory of population and employment. Develop
.zonal "area types" based on population/employment per acre
densities. Identify "special" traffic generators and acquire
appropriate travel data.
Methodology
In conjunction with the Lubbock Tax Appraisal District, the
Planning Department maintains land use information of each parcel
of land in Lubbock. Department and "Section 112" personnel will
continue to verify existing information, revise base maps, enter
serial zone and land use data to new parcels, and continue
accounting for acreages of right-of-way within the City.
Contribution of city resources to update the Land Use Program
exceeds two to three times the amount requested under Section 112
funds.
Previous Work
In Fiscal Year 83/84 and 84/85 the original assignment of serial
zone numbers to the existing parcels was completed under Tasks
701.23 and 701.24. Fiscal year 1985 and 1986 saw major expansion
of the City Limits and the assignment of more serial zone numbers
and land use information. There were also a significant number
of changes in land uses that had to be reflected in the maps
and/or the Land Use Program. In Fiscal Year 1986 an update to
the Transportation Plan was undertaken and the land use data was
transmitted to the Austin computer for new traffic projections.
Since the update of the land use file and the assurance of its
availability is imperative to a successful program and assures
success for the District Five responsibility for reporting land
use by Serial Zone for Transportation Plan Updates.

The continuing ability to produce machine generated land use data
by serial zone for the forecast Transportation Plan for Lubbock.
Responsibility
The completion of the Task is the responsibility of the City of
Lubbock Planning Department.
