Title
Amendment #3 to the FY2018-2027 TIP (5 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
Federal regulation 23 CFR 450.326 (d) requires that all MPO's incorporate language regarding peformance targets into their TIPs. NCDOT has advised all MPOs to adopt the following language by May 2018 into their TIP:
"The ____ MPO has established performance management targets for highway safety and for transit tier 2 providers that choose to participate in NCDOT’s Group Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan and will establish federally mandated performance management targets for infrastructure condition, congestion, system reliability, emissions, and freight movement. The ____ MPO anticipates meeting their identified targets with the mix of projects included in the TIP."
This language is shown in the attached resolution, which upon adoption shall be incorporated into the DCHC MPO FY2018-27 TIP.
In addition, there one locally initiated project to be amended, C-5650, South Greensboro Street Sidewalks, as well as several modifications and additions from NCDOT. These are described in the attached summary sheet and full report.
Finally, the Board should be aware that there was a recent case in federal court, South Coast Air Quality Management District v. EPA, requires amendments to MTPs and TIPs to further reviews for air quality than has been required in recent years. While this amendment can go forward, future amendments to the TIP that involve highway projects will most likely be delayed.
