Title
FY 21 Unified Planning Work Program - Amendment #1
Shelby Powell, CAMPO Staff
Body
The FY 21 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) was adopted in February 2020. As the fiscal year got underway, changes to the funding sources for several special studies were made. Also, it was determined that one special study, the Fayetteville-Raleigh Passenger Rail Study Phase II, would not move forward in FY 21 due to the inability of NCDOT to financially participate, and the outcomes of Phase I indicated the need for additional coordination with our partners along the corridor. Transit agencies also had adjustments to budget sources and project identification that needed to be included in this UPWP. Items included in this Amendment are:
• Triangle Bikeway - adjusted funding allocations to reconcile with actual spending on the study, and extended the time period of the study to conclude in FY 22 instead of FY 21. Total study cost remained the same.
• Northeast Area Study - adjusted funding allocations between FY 20 and FY 21 to reconcile with actual spending on the study. Total study cost remained the same.
• Fayetteville-Raleigh Passenger Rail Study - adjusted the start of Phase II to begin in FY 22 instead of FY 21. Deleted FY 21 funding associated with this study.
• Bus on Shoulder Study - adjusted the funding sources to reflect CAMPO and GoTriangle financial contributions to the study, and remove the DCHC MPO and NCDOT financial contributions to the study.
• Wake Transit Implementation Studies - added the Wake Transit BRT Expansion Major Investment Study from Research Triangle Park to Clayton, as per the adopted Wake Transit Work Program. This study will begin in FY 21 and is anticipated to conclude in FY 22. Also adjusted budget figures to align with adopted Wake Transit Work Program.
• GoRaleigh - added funding from the federal CARES Act for Western Boulevard TOD study and an operational analysis to be conducted by GoRaleigh (including updates to Table 4A).
• GoCary - adjusted funding table to reflect 20% local match for 5307 funds, and remove NCDOT/State 10% match for 5307 funds. (including updates to Table 4B).
• Appendix A - updated membership lists to reflect most recent member names as of time of the Amendment.
The Amendment will be out for public comment from October 16, 2020 through November 15, 2020. Action to approve the Amendment is anticipated to occur at the November 18, 2020 Executive Board meeting. No comments have been received to date. The TCC recommended adoption of this amendment at its November 5, 2020 meeting.
