Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
On November 30, 2016, board members from DCHC MPO and CAMPO reviewed a draft legislative agenda. Board members provided input at that meeting and suggested that each board review the draft individually and bring a revised document back to a joint meeting at a future date.
There are five items included in the Draft Joint Legislative Agenda:
• Additional Funds to Meet the State’s Transportation Needs;
• Exempt STBGP Funds from Strategic Transportation Investments Formula at the Division Level;
• Remove the Ten Percent Cap on Statewide Funding within a Corridor;
• Remove the Ten Percent Cap on Light Rail Transit Funding; and
• Allow for State Funds to be Directed to Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects.
A copy of the draft Joint Legislative Agenda is attached.
Recommendation
TC Action: Reviewed the legislative agenda and forwarded to the MPO Board for their consideration.
