Under MAP-21 and the FAST Act, the FTA continues to advance efforts to implement a performance-based approach to planning. In its final rulemaking on Transit Asset Management (TAM), the FTA requires transit providers to annually set performance targets for state of good repair related to their assets. MPOs are required to establish regional targets every four years and to reference the performance targets and performance-based plans into their TIPs and Metropolitan Plans per 23 CFR 450.324 and 23 CFR 450.326. MPO’s are also required to coordinate with each of the transit providers in the region and the State.
The CAMPO Executive Board approved a continuous Data Sharing Agreement between the transit providers, NC DOT and CAMPO on May 16, 2018 and on August 28, 2018, the parties held the first annual TAM Performance and targets meeting and agreed:
▫ CAMPO will develop and determine the regional performance measures and targets around the transit provider targets;
▫ CAMPO will update the regional performance measures annually after discussion with the transit providers and the State;
▫ To follow the State’s TAM Plan guidelines and timelines for submittal to the MPO (by July 15th every year);
▫ To follow the transit providers NTD process and timeline for Accountable Executive annual TAM Performance Measures and Targets submittal to the MPO;
▫ To keep the TAM process as administratively simple as possible for the transit providers while maintaining compliance;
▫ To establish annual TAM Performance Measures and targets meetings with the transit partners, the state DOT, partner DCHC MPO and CAMPO;
▫ To ensure all TAM Plan changes are approved through the Accountable Executives;
▫ Documentation will be kept by the agencies and certified by the Accountable Executives, until required by the MPO.
The CAMPO Executive Board signed a resolution on September 19, 2018 adopting regional TAM performance measures and targets for 2019. To develop year 2020 targets, CAMPO staff, the transit providers and the state met on August 5, 2019 to review agency 2019 TAM performance and to discuss goals for the upcoming year. CAMPO staff developed the recommended 2020 TAM performance measures and targets (Attachment A) through this cooperative process. CAMPO staff recommends an adjustment to the 2019 regional TAM targets for rolling stock based on GoTriangle’s fleet age, changes in the agency’s specific fleet goals and vehicle procurement. Staff recommends mirroring the state’s goal and changing the 2019 TAM regional rolling stock goal from 13% to 20% for 2020. The recommended targets were posted for public comments from August 19th to September 18th, 2019. Beginning this year, the partners will meet semi-annually to address agency TAM performance and goal attainment and to provide TAM program updates. Agencies that are not part of the State’s Group TAM program (GoTriangle and GoRaleigh) will annually submit to CAMPO an Asset Certification form signed by their accountable executive attesting to the agency’s goal attainment the previous year, the agency’s targets for the next year and noting if there were any changes to the agency’s TAM plan since the previous year.
