Title
FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program - Amendment #1
Shelby Powell, MPO Staff
Body
The FY 2023 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) was adopted by the Executive Board in February 2022. Since that time, additional work has been completed on planning studies, area transit agencies have been awarded planning funds, and the MPO has developed a new Strategic Plan and Organizational Study. As such, the UPWP must be updated to reflect these changes.
Amendment #1 of the FY 23 UPWP includes these specific items:
- Adjust FY 23 project budgets for US 401 Corridor Study; Raleigh-Fayetteville Passenger Rail Phase II Study; Southeast Area Study; BRT Extension Major Investment Study, and Mobility Management Implementation Study. The only one of these to have an increase in actual budget is the US 401 Corridor Study, which reflects additional work added as a result of public engagement and CAMPO Executive Board direction.
- Increase the funding from Wake Transit FY 23 Work Plan to include an additional staff position to assist with the delivery of the MPO’s Wake Transit responsibilities.
- Includes federal transit planning funds for GoRaleigh to conduct BRT Station Area Planning and for GoTriangle to conduct Route Restoration planning work.
- A budget adjustment for II-A-12 to bring that working line item from $10,000 to $15,000 to account for additional maintenance needs for the Non-Motorized Data Volume Count program data counters.
- Adjustments to Tables 3, 4A and 4C to reflect these changes
- Updates to the TCC Member list to reflect current membership at the time of Amendment adoption.
- The Member shares dues will increase from $0.578 to $0.615 per capita.
- Additional funding added to the UPWP budget to begin implementation of the Organizational Study recommendations resulting from the CAMPO Strategic Plan, including increase staff by two positions and incorporating pay adjustments for existing staff. Ultimately the budget will increase by $548,000 for the FY 23 budget.
