Title
Transit Projects in SPOT 5.0 (30 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
Since their submittal in September 2017, LPA staff has taken a closer look at potential scores in SPOT 5.0 for its transit mobility projects (transit mobility includes fixed guideway projects such as light rail and fixed route bus service). Furthermore, the Chairs and Vice-Chairs for DCHC MPO and CAMPO have met several times to discuss which projects should be scored in SPOT 5.0 to best enhance the opportunities for transit funding for the entire Triangle region.
On January 24, 2018, CAMPO removed nine transit mobility projects from consideration in SPOT 5.0 (see attached). On January 27, 2018 the DCHC MPO Technical Committee (TC) authorized a subcommittee to make recommendations on whether or not to remove any DCHC transit mobility projects from consideration in SPOT 5.0 and, if so, which projects. That subcommittee met on February 13, 2018.
Scores from SPOT 5.0 are scheduled to be released at the end of March. This is the last opportunity for the DCHC MPO Board to act before projects are scored and scaled by the SPOT office.
Board Action
Board Action: Act on the recommendation of the TC Subcommittee regarding transit mobility projects in SPOT 5.0.
