ABSTRACT
Action Requested:
A request to endorse list of ranked transportation projects located in Chatham County to be used to formulate local input points for Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) as a part of North Carolina Department of Transportation's prioritization process.
Introduction & Background:
Under the Strategic Transportation Investments law, NCDOT established and uses the Strategic Mobility Formula, which allocates available revenues based on data-driven scoring and local input, to fund transportation projects statewide efficiently and effectively every 2-3 years.
This process is called Prioritization and is now in its 5th iteration (also called SPOT 5.0 or P 5). It is used to develop NCDOT's State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which identifies the transportation projects that will receive funding over a 10-year period (2020-2029). More about the process can be found at this link https://www.ncdot.gov/strategictransportationinvestments/ .
As a part of Prioritization, local governments are asked to give input via their regional transportation planning partners during a call for projects and input on local priorities.
TARPO has developed a methodology for placing input points on scored projects and can be found at this link http://www.tarpo.org/docs/topics/SPOT5/20180208_P5_Prioritization_Methodology.pdf
Discussion & Analysis:
In summer of 2017, the Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to endorse a priority list of transportation projects to be submitted via TARPO to the prioritization scoring process. The project list for all modes of transportation that was submitted can be viewed at this link http://www.tarpo.org/docs/topics/SPOT5/Chatham%20Pro...
