Body
Background:
In August 2016 the NC Capital Area MPO’s Executive Board opened a call for projects to identify and program available FFY 2018 Locally Administered Projects Program (LAPP) funds. The call for projects resulted in submission of 25 eligible projects for consideration. The Executive Board also approved a target modal investment mix of 65 percent roadway, 20 percent bicycle & pedestrian, and 15 percent transit to help guide development of a recommended FFY 2018 investment program totaling $23 million, including CMAQ. Projects were reviewed for funding eligibility and scored based on the adopted LAPP prioritization criteria by CAMPO staff.
LAPP Selection Panel:
The LAPP Selection Panel reviewed eligible FFY 2018 LAPP project submissions and forwarded a recommended list of projects as well as a modified modal investment mix for consideration. The LAPP Selection Panel elected to maximize the total amount of programming, as well as utilize additional funds already returned in FFY17, so that projects recommended for funding will be funded at the amount requested and totaling approximately $25 million.
Schedule:
Staff released the draft FFY 2018 LAPP Investment Program for public review and comment from January 16, 2017 through February 15, 2017 and scheduled a public hearing at the February 15, 2016 Executive Board meeting.
Requested Action: Action Conduct Public Hearing and Adopt the FFY18 LAPP Investment Program.
