Gretchen Vetter, MPO Staff
Body
Background:
In August 2017, the NC Capital Area MPO’s Executive Board opened a call for projects to identify and program available FFY 2019 Locally Administered Projects Program (LAPP) funds. The call for projects resulted in submission of 20 eligible projects for consideration. The Executive Board also approved a target modal investment mix of 64 percent roadway, 24 percent bicycle & pedestrian, and 12 percent transit to help guide development of a recommended FFY 2019 investment program totaling $25 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 2019 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 prioritize projects by adhering as close to the Target Modal Investment mix as possible, producing a recommendation that utilizes all funding available to program, $25 million.
There was discussion regarding the subject of LAPP funding and the relationship with non-federal funding sources, including Wake Transit tax district funding as well as Municipal transportation bond programs. The LAPP Selection Panel requests that further discussion be held on this topic in the Spring of 2018 during the development of the FFY2020 LAPP Program.
Schedule:
Staff has released the draft FFY 2019 LAPP Investment Program for public review and comment from January 19, 2018 through February 20, 2018 and has scheduled a public hearing for the February 21, 2018 Executive Board meeting.
Requested Action: Action Consider approval of the FFY2019 LAPP Investment Program.
