Wake Transit Master Participation Agreement

Body
The Wake County Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) produced a "Wake Transit Master Participation Agreement" (MPA) that contains a number of provisions addressing overall participation in the implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan. More specifically, the agreement functions as the multi-party instrument that institutionalizes provisions of engagement associated with any agency's or party's use of Wake Transit Tax Revenue to implement projects in the Wake County Transit Plan. The MPA is the overarching agreement for implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan and precedes and paves the way for subsequent program- and project-specific agreements that will lay out more specific project implementation responsibilities for applicable parties. Any agency or local government in Wake County that is expecting to benefit from these revenues must be a party to the agreement. As a major contributor to the implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan, CAMPO is included as a signing party to the agreement.
A draft of the MPA was first released by the TPAC for review by managers and attorneys from all eligible signing parties from December 16, 2016, to January 13, 2017. The TPAC received a number of participating agency comments on this draft and subsequent drafts and worked through multiple versions to arrive at a draft to move forward for parties' consideration of participation.
The TPAC-endorsed draft of the MPA is attached (Attachment A). The MPA was released for a 30-day public comment period by CAMPO staff from March 30th through April 29th. No public comments were received. At its April 6th meeting, the TCC recommended the Executive Board consider approval of the MPA at its May 17th meeting, after the CAMPO public comment period for the MPA ends.
