To  conclude  CRTPO’s  involvement  with  the  Process  Recommendations  Report,  Mr.  Coxe suggested  that  the  TCC  take  action  to  accept  the  recommendations within  the  report,  and forward the report to the MPO for information only.    

Motion: Mr. Wells made a motion  to accept  the recommendations contained within  the report and  forward the report to the MPO for  information only. Sherry Ashley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.    3.2 Fixed Guideway and Bus State of Good Repair TIP Amendments                   Presenter: David McDonald  Summary/Action Requested: Mr. McDonald provided information to the TCC via a Power Point presentation, the contents of which are incorporated into the minutes here. The presentation covered the following points:  

Mr. McDonald stated that action is being requested to recommend to the MPO that it approve TIP amendments for fixed guideway and bus state of good repair funds. An information report was provided to the TCC and MPO during the February meetings.   

He explained that TIP amendments are necessary to correct the amount the amount of prior year funding in the current TIP that will be expended in FY 2017, and to update the estimate of potential state of good repair funds beginning in FY 2018 until FY 2029. 

He  explained  that  after  seven  years  of  operation  of  the  LNYX  blue  line,  FTA  has  started allocating state of good repair funds to assist in maintenance and operations of this service. 

 Motion: Mr. McDonald made a motion to recommend to the MPO that  it approve TIP amendments for fixed guideway  and  bus  state  of  good  repair  funds. Mr.  Coxe  seconded  the  motion.  The  motion  was approved unanimously.  3.3 DRAFT CMAQ Project List Presenter: Robert Cook

CRTPO TCC Minutes – March 2, 2017 

 Summary/Action Requested: 

Mr. Cook began his presentation by stating that the action requested is to recommend to the MPO that it approve the recommended list of CMAQ projects for FY 2018‐2019 funding. 

He explained that a total of $16,720,630 of CMAQ funds is available for programming. 

Mr. Cook stated that the CRTPO issued a project call that closed on January 13. 

15 projects were submitted for consideration. 

He stated that the NC 115/David Cox Road CMAQ project is no longer needed because the NC 115 widening project (U‐5772)  in this area will  incorporate the proposed  improvements. The funds  from  this CMAQ project were added  to  the available  funds  for  the FY 2018 and 2019 program years. 

Mr. Cook also stated that the City of Charlotte and Town of Cornelius agreed to increase their local  matches  on  their  respective  CMAQ  projects  to  allow  CRTPO  to  fund  the Pineville‐Matthews  Road  sidewalk  project  and  the  NC  115  and  Hickory  Street  intersection improvement projects.

He then reviewed the proposed funding summary which totals $2.7 million in FY 2018 with PL allocations, STP‐DA, FTA section 5303, and an unobligated balance. 

Mr. Cook explained that the exact amount of FTA Section 5303 funds are currently unknown for FY 2018, therefore the FY 2017 amount is being used for the time being. 

He concluded his presentation by reviewing seven local projects that are being considered for planning funds from the unobligated balance. 

 Andy Bailey stated  that NCDOT‐TPB has been working with  the North Carolina Association of MPOs (NCAMPO) to address the  issue of unobligated balances of several MPOs federal planning (PL) funds. Mr. Cook  added  that  the PL  funds  could be  rescinded  if  they  are not  expended  and NCAMPO has approved  a methodology where  unused  funds  can  be  re‐distributed  to  other MPOs within  North Carolina that have a demonstrated need for additional funding.  Motion:

CRTPO TCC Minutes – March 2, 2017 

Mr. Coxe made a motion  to  recommend  that  the MPO approve  the FY 2018 Unified Planning Work Program. Mr. Wells seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.  3.5. MPO Self‐Certification Presenter: Robert Cook    Summary/Action Requested: Mr. Cook indicated that the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 450.334) requires MPOs to annually certify to the FHWA and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) that the transportation planning process addresses all major  issues  facing  the MPO and  is being conducted  in accordance with all applicable requirements. The MPO self‐certification form lists laws, statutes, and regulations that are relevant to MPOs. CRTPO’s self‐certification was discussed at a Transportation Staff meeting  to ensure  that  the organization meets the applicable standards set forth by the FHWA.  Motion: Mr. McDonald made  a motion  to  recommend  that  the MPO  adopt  a  resolution  certifying CRTPO’s compliance with all federal transportation planning  laws, statutes, etc. during FY 2016. Ms. Stiwinter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.    3.6. FY 2017 Unified Planning Work Program Amendments   Presenter: Robert Cook  Summary/Action Requested: Mr.  Cook  explained  that  additional  amendments  are  requested  beyond  the  FY  2017  UPWP amendments that were approved last month since approved amendments did not account for invoices received within the last several weeks.  He explained that staff has recommended that the funds should be reallocated from the traffic volume counts  (II‐1)  and  corridor  protection  and  special  studies  (VI‐10)  task  codes  in  the  total  amount  of $360,000. The reallocated funds are recommended to be re‐distributed to the following task codes:

TCC INFORMATION REPORTS  

4.1. 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan Presenter: Neil Burke & Robert Cook  Summary/Action Requested: Mr. Burke provided information to the TCC via a Power Point presentation, the contents of which are incorporated into the minutes here. The presentation covered the following points:  

Mr. Burke explained that staff has begun the process of developing the financial plan that is a required component of  the 2045 MTP. The most critical element  is  the  forecast of available roadway revenues that originate from NCDOT’s Prioritization (STI) process. The endorsement of the roadway revenues is critical to complete the roadway ranking process of the MTP. 

He  explained  that  the other  elements  of  the  financial plan  such  as non‐highway  and MPO discretionary fund forecasts are in progress and will be presented during upcoming meetings. 

Staff  has  recommended  the  continued  use  of  CRTPO’s  population  shares  of  the  five  STI geographies as a means to develop revenue projections for the 2035 and 2045 horizon years. The 2025 horizon year roadway revenue data has been obtained from the DRAFT 2018‐2027 TIP, and is not expected to materially change prior to adoption. 

Mr. Burke explained that staff also continues to recommend a 2% annual escalation factor for revenues  beyond  2028.  The  NCDOT‐TIP  Development  Unit  also  concurs  with  this recommendation. 

He  acknowledged  that  adjustments  may  need  to  be  made  to  state  and  federal  funding structures  to  keep  available  revenues  consistent  given  the  improved  fuel  emissions  of  the automobile fleet and related decline in gas tax revenues. 

Mr. Burke reviewed the potential roadway revenues for the Statewide Mobility tier, Regional Impact  (Funding Regions E & F), Division Needs  (Divisions 10 & 12)  for  the 2025, 2035, and 2045 Horizon Years of the MTP. In total, the assumptions indicate approximately $7 billion in roadway revenues available throughout the course of the plan.

Mr. Burke provided information to the TCC via a Power Point presentation, the contents of which are incorporated into the minutes here. The presentation covered the following points: 

 •  Mr. Burke began his presentation by stating an update to CRTPO’s Public Involvement Plan 

(PIP) was a recommendation in the 2015 Certification Review. •  He explained that the PIP update will focus on changes to the public comment process for 

the TIP as a result of STI, and the use of social media as a method for public engagement. •  A steering committee has been formed to guide the PIP update by providing input on plan 

recommendations and reviewing the DRAFT PIP report. 

Mr. Burke concluded his presentation by explaining that the draft PIP will be reviewed by the steering committee  later  this month and will be circulated  for TCC review  this spring prior to requesting action to open a 45‐day public comment period on the draft document.

Mr.  Burke  began  his  presentation  by  stating  that  the  P5.0 Work  Group  has  been meeting bi‐monthly in Raleigh since October of 2016. 

He summarized the consensus recommendations that the work group has made to date which include the continued use of scaling of project scores, continued use of Peak ADT, non‐highway criteria (other than public transit), and normalization. 

Mr. Burke explained that the work group will make consensus recommendations  in upcoming meetings  regarding public  transit criteria, highway criteria, measures, and weights, economic competitiveness and local input points.   

Projects funded for right‐of‐way within the  first five years of the STIP  (2018‐2022) would be committed  and  not  subject  to  reprioritization  in  P5.0  (Construction  for  these  committed projects may occur after 2022). 

He explained that the work group has recommended that projects in the second five years of the DRAFT STIP, a sibling of a programmed project in the DRAFT STIP, and a completed NEPA document define a projects status as a carryover. CRTPO would not have to use a submittal slot to have these projects scored in P5.0. 

CRTPO will receive 46 project submittals for all modes in P5.0. 

Mr. Burke concluded his presentation by reviewing a schedule for P5.0.  

Bjorn Hansen encouraged the TCC to consider the allowance of intersection project submittals for P5.0 since intersection submittals were not allowed during the MTP roadway project submittal process.

TO: TCC Members FROM: Neil Burke, AICP, PTP Planning Coordinator DATE: April 5, 2017 SUBJECT: Consent Agenda TIP amendments, April TCC Meeting ACTION REQUESTED: Recommend to the MPO that it consider approving the following TIP amendments. BACKGROUND:

• The Westmoreland Rd Multi-Use corridor project in Cornelius is one of three bicycle and pedestrian projects that have been recommended for the approval of TAP funds by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Work Group. Action has been requested at the April TCC and MPO meetings to approve the appropriation of TAP funds to this project.

• Cornelius currently has the McDowell Creek Tributary Greenway project (EB-5777) programmed into the TIP that joins the Westmoreland Rd TAP project at one terminus.

• Cornelius would like to combine the Westmoreland Rd TAP project with the EB-5777 greenway project.

• In order to combine these projects both projects would need to have the same source of funding and currently the Westmoreland Rd project has TAPDA dollars and EB-5777 has STBDGA dollars

• The Town is requesting the reallocation the TAP funding from EB-5817 to EB-5777 so that the project scope of EB-5777 can be amended to include the Westmoreland Rd Multi-Use corridor TAP project. EB-5777 would maintain its current funding allocation schedule.
