Title
CAMPO Staff Addition: TPAC/Wake Transit Administration
Chris Lukasina, Executive Director
Body
With the passage of the new Wake Transit Sales Tax the MPO has been designated to serve as the lead agency for several administrative and planning requirements and responsibilities. Administration of the Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) has continued to evolve. The draft FY 2018 Wake Transit Work Plan includes resources for the MPO to provide full time administrative and management support of the TPAC activities. CAMPO will be able to provide higher quality administrative support and coordination services for the TPAC, while also being able to provide more focused technical-level attention to transit plan implementation management, processes and decisions. It will also be able to provide better staff support for compilation of TPAC products. If the request is not funded, CAMPO will not be able to provide these services at a quality level needed for the TPAC to be productive while also providing its regional technical services and input to transit plan implementation project management, processes and decision. MPO staff recommends creation of a new CAMPO Transportation Planner position at this time to provide for TPAC administration and process management in order to create and fill the position for the start of FY 18. The TCC has recommended approval of the additional staff position
Requested Action: Action Consider approval of additional staff position.
