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 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 approved a resolution on September 18, 2019 adopting TAM Performance measures and targets for 2020. As required, CAMPO, the transit providers and the state staff met on August 4, 2020 to review the regional agencies 2020 TAM performance and to discuss goals for the upcoming year. All transit providers met their established 2020 goals and GoTriangle provided an updated agency TAM plan.
CAMPO staff developed the recommended 2021 TAM performance measures and targets (Attachment A) through this cooperative process and posted the 2021 recommended targets for public comments for 30 days - August 7-September 8, 2020. For 2021, GoCary and GoWakeAccess have again chosen to accept the State’s goals as their own. GoTriangle and GoRaleigh, who are not part of the State’s TAM program, provided CAMPO with their annual asset certification form signed by their accountable executive attesting to the agency’s 2020 goal attainment and their individual agency targets for next year.
CAMPO staff, with cooperation from the regional transit agencies, recommends the 2021 regional TAM performance targets and goals remain the same as the 2020 targets and goals.
Requested Action: Action Approve the recommended 2021 Performance Measures and Targets for Transit Asset Management and State of Good Repair.
