GRANT AGREEMENT
THIS CONTRACT IS MADE BY AND BETWEEN THE STATE OF TEXAS,
acting by and through the Texas Department of Transportation, hereinafter called the

WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Article 4413(56), Texas Civil Statutes, declares that the Office of the
Governor may designate State agencies to supervise, manage or administer the imple-

submitted a proposed grant program, hereinafter called Traffic Light Synchronization,
or TLS, designed to increase energy efficiency in the movement of traffic, and the Office
of the Governor did approve the proposed program, and signified its approval by
contract executed between the Texas Department of Transportation and the Office of
the Governor dated September 1, 1990, or as amended; and,
WHEREAS, the Local Government submitted a grant application to the State describ-
ing a plan to re -time a set of traffic signals in accordance with the State's instructions,
and the grant application was approved by the State and the project described therein

ance with the application:
• A "before" field evaluation
• An "after" field evaluation
Failure to deliver the products as specified in the application may result in termination
of this agreement as provided hereinafter.

a manner satisfactory to the State. The Local Government shall not incur new obliga-
tions for the terminated portion after the effective date of termination.

General Description
The travel time study methods defined here are not intended to be conclusive or
statistically comprehensive, but rather to be implementable by any local government
using only a vehicle and a stopwatch. The study will be a general summary of delay on
each street of the project. Data should only be collected on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays. The study will cover only the peak period, as defined by the applicant.
Applicants are encouraged to use the most heavily travelled time period of a typical day
to establish the typical worst case. Travel times on all streets will be done during this
time period, according to the following methodology.
Study Methodology
An intersection is defined as a junction of streets controlled by a traffic signal which is
part of the project being proposed.
Travel time runs will be performed in MI legal directions on each street in the project. A
run is defined as a trip from the first network or arterial signal to last network or
arterial signal in one direction. For grid networks, two runs in each direction will be
done for each network street that passes through two or more network signals. For
arterial systems, three runs in each direction will be done. The time-of crossing the stop
line at the first signal will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be started) and the time of
clearing the last intersection will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be stopped).
The driver of the study vehicle should attempt to approach the first signal in a grid
system once at the beginning and once during the middle of the green phase and, for an
arterial, at the beginning,sone -third point, and two - thirds point of the green phase. The
driver should then attempt tb drive the length of the street at the posted speed limit.
Delay will be caused when other vehicles or traffic control devices impede the progress
of the study vehicle, and the driver should not take extraordinary measures to avoid
delay. Generally, the driver should stay in the most typically used through lane (such as
the center or median lane). •

Quality of Service
Study Method
The applicant is to use the following instructions to conduct quality of service tests of
signals proposed to be included in the project. The attached "Ouality of Service"
Summary is to be completed and submitted with the application.
Introduction
Establishing the demand for traffic signal retiming projects is particularly difficult unless
extensive data collection and analysis is performed beforehand. Since such effort is an
integral part of the project being proposed, it is beyond the scope of preliminary needs
assessments associated with the grant application. Consequently, the TLS program will
require a simple study of travel time performance for each project proposal which
should be in the range of capabilities of applying local governments and provides a
reasonable summary of the operational situation. This study is just a part of the review
process, and will be used as an inexact guideline to assist in project selection and
prioritization.

Quality of Service
Study Method
The applicant is to use the following instructions to conduct quality of service tests of
signals proposed to be included in the project. The attached "Quality of Service"
Summary is to be completed and submitted with the application.
Introduction
Establishing the demand for traffic signal retiming projects is particularly difficult unless
extensive data collection and analysis is performed beforehand. Since such effort is an
integral part of the project being proposed, it is beyond the scope of preliminary needs
assessments associated with the grant application. Consequently, the TLS program will
require a simple study of travel time performance for each project proposal which
should be in the range of capabilities of applying local governments and provides a
reasonable summary of the operational situation. This study is just a part of the review
process, and will be used as an inexact guideline to assist in project selection and
prioritization.
General Description
The travel time study methods defined here are not intended to be conclusive or
statistically comprehensive, but rather to be implementable by any local gpvernment
using only a vehicle and a stopwatch. The study will be a general summary of delay on
each street of the project. Data should only be collected on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays. The study will cover only the peak period, as defined by the applicant.
Applicants are encouraged to use the most heavily travelled time period of a typical day
to establish the typical worst case. Travel times on all streets will be done during this
time period, according to the following methodology.
Study Methodology
An intersection is defined as a junction of streets controlled by a traffic signal which is
part of the project being proposed.
Travel time runs will be performed in all legal directions on each street in the project. A
run is defined as a trip from the first network or arterial signal to last network or
arterial signal in one direction. For grid networks, two runs in each direction will be
done for each network street that passes through two or more network signals. For
arterial systems, three runs in each direction will be done. The time of crossing the stop
line at the first signal will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be started) and the time of
clearing the last intersection will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be stopped).
The driver of the study vehicle should attempt to approach the first signal in a grid
system once at the beginning and once during the middle of the green phase and, for an
arterial, at the beginning,sone -third point, and two- thirds point of the green phase. The
driver should then attempt tb drive the length of the street at the posted speed limit.
Delay will be caused when other vehicles or traffic control devices impede the progress
of the study vehicle, and the driver should not take extraordinary measures to avoid
delay. Generally, the driver should stay in the most typically used through lane (such as
the center or median lane). .
