Body
The FTA continues to advance efforts to implement a performance-based approach to planning. In its final rulemaking on Transit Asset Management (TAM), the FTA requires transit providers to annually set performance targets for state of good repair related to their assets. MPOs are required to establish regional targets every four years and to reference the performance targets and performance-based plans into their TIPs and Metropolitan Plans per 23 CFR 450.324 and 23 CFR 450.326. MPO’s are also required to coordinate with each of the transit providers in the region and the State.
The CAMPO Executive Board approved a continuous Data Sharing Agreement between the transit providers, NC DOT, and CAMPO on May 16, 2018, and on August 28, 2018, the parties held the first annual TAM meeting and agreed:
▫ CAMPO will develop and determine the regional performance measures and targets around the transit provider annual targets;
▫ CAMPO will update the regional performance measures annually after discussion with the transit providers and the State;
▫ To follow the State’s TAM Plan guidelines and timelines for submittal to the MPO (by July 15th every year);
▫ To follow the transit providers National Transit Database (NTD) process and timeline for Accountable Executive annual TAM Performance Measures and Targets submittal to the MPO;
▫ To keep the TAM process as administratively simple as possible for the transit providers while maintaining federal compliance;
▫ To establish annual TAM Performance Measures and targets meetings with the transit partners, the state DOT, partner DCHC MPO and CAMPO;
▫ To ensure all TAM Plan changes are approved through the Accountable Executives;
▫ Documentation will be kept by the agencies and certified by the Accountable Executives, until required by the MPO.
The CAMPO Executive Board approved a resolution on September 21, 2022, adopting TAM Performance measures and targets for 2023. As required, CAMPO, the transit providers, DCHC MPO and the state staff met on August 10, 2023, to review the transit providers 2023 TAM performance and to discuss goals for the upcoming year. The transit providers continue to manage the agencies transit assets including the ability to replace equipment and facilities impacted by the COVID pandemic. Agencies concur with the recommendation to keep 2023 goals and targets for the upcoming 2024 year.
CAMPO staff developed the recommended 2024 TAM performance measures and targets (Attachment B) through this cooperative process and posted the 2024 recommended targets for public comments for 30 days - August 21 - September 20, 2023. For 2024, GoCary and GoWakeAccess have again chosen to accept the State’s goals as their own. GoTriangle and GoRaleigh, who are not part of the State’s TAM program, provided CAMPO with their annual asset certification form signed by their accountable executive attesting to the agency’s 2023 goal attainment and their individual agency targets for 2024 year.
CAMPO staff, with cooperation from the regional transit agencies, recommends the 2024 regional TAM performance targets and goals per Attachment B.
