Steven Mott, MPO Staff
Body
MPO Staff will present the TPAC-recommended FY 2027 Wake Transit Work Plan to the Executive Board for adoption. The recommended Work Plan includes approximately $170.7 million in transit investments for FY27 (July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027), comprising $78.5 million in operating expenditures and $92.2 million in capital expenditures. The Work Plan is fiscally constrained, budgeting $157.9 million in revenue from local funding sources supplemented by $12.8 million from prior year capital fund balance.
Key investments include continued bus network expansion with new and improved routes, $6.2 million for Community Funding Area Program projects, $23.8 million toward regional rail efforts, and $36.4 million in bus infrastructure investments.
Also included in the agenda packet are the proposed FY 2027 Agreement Groupings and Project Reporting Deliverables. The purpose of these agreements is to guide deliverables for funds appropriated through Wake Transit's major capital and operating funds. Operating Agreements (or Master Agreements) govern the provision of Implementation Elements or operating plans, detailing expectations on funding, responsibilities, schedule, and performance in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Transit Governance ILA. Capital Funding Agreements (or Master Agreements) similarly govern capital improvement projects, detailing the same expectations in accordance with Section 7.01 of the Governance ILA. The Project Reporting Deliverables are project-specific deliverables tied to each agreement that implementing agencies are required to report on quarterly.
Staff will also present a summary of the 14-day public comment period, which ran from May 6-20, 2026.
The TCC will be asked to recommend the FY 2027 Wake Transit Work Plan, along with the proposed Agreement Groupings and Project Reporting Deliverables, to the CAMPO Executive Board for adoption.
The CAMPO TCC reviewed the FY 2027 Wake Transit Work Plan, engagement summary, and Project Agreement Groupings and Reporting Deliverables at their June 5, 2026, meeting and offered a unanimous favorable recommendation for adoption.
Requested Action: Action 1) Approve the TPAC-recommended FY 2027 Wake Transit Work Plan; 2) Approve the proposed project agreement groupings and deliverables; and 3) Authorize the Executive Director to execute all FY 2027 Work Plan project-level agreements to which CAMPO is a party.
