Title
Wake Transit Community Funding Area Program Management Plan
Bret Martin, MPO Staff
Body
The Community Funding Area Program (CFAP) was envisioned in the Wake County Transit Plan to provide smaller municipalities in Wake County (those other than Cary and Raleigh) and the Research Triangle Park an opportunity to leverage matching funds for local public transportation planning, operating, and/or capital projects. The CFAP’s intent was to allow communities with limited fixed-route transit services to launch or support community-based or inter-community public transportation services and programs that provide better connectivity and access to the overall regional network. In 2017, the Wake County Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) commissioned a core technical team (CTT) to develop a program management plan to govern eligibility, funding, application, prioritization and award, and program management and oversight details and processes for the ongoing administration of the program.
The TPAC recommended a draft CFAP Management Plan on October 10, 2018, to the CAMPO Executive Board and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees for consideration of approval at their November 14th and November 28th regular meetings, respectively. CAMPO staff opened a public comment period on the CFAP Management Plan on October 11th that will run through November 10th. The Executive Board has also scheduled a public hearing for the CFAP Management Plan to occur at its November 14th regular meeting. The TPAC-recommended Community Funding Area Program Management Plan is provided as Attachment A. Staff will provide an overview of the TPAC-recommended CFAP Management Plan and will present next steps for the program at the Executive Board’s November 14th regular meeting.
