Body
At its April 21, 2021, regular meeting, the Wake County Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) recommended a FY 2022 Wake Transit Work Plan to CAMPO and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees for their consideration of adoption in June. A draft of the TPAC-recommended FY 2022 Wake Transit Work Plan is provided as Attachment 1. Annual Wake Transit Work Plans contain a number of elements that work to authorize and institutionalize Wake County Transit Plan implementation investment decisions, including:
1) Annual operating and capital budgets and corresponding ordinances;
2) Annual updates to a 10-year multi-year operating program for future operating expenditures;
3) Annual updates to a 10-year capital improvement plan (CIP) for future capital expenditures;
4) Annual updates to the transit plan's supporting financial plan and model assumptions; and
5) Capital and operating funding agreements that support and are supported by the annual budgets.
For the TPAC-recommended FY 2022 Wake Transit Work Plan, all of the aforementioned elements are included in Attachment 1, with the exception of the annual capital and operating funding agreements and the annual operating and capital budget ordinances.
In transitioning from the FY 2022 Draft Wake Transit Work Plan released by the TPAC for public comment in February to the TPAC-recommended FY 2022 Wake Transit Work Plan provided as Attachment 1, the TPAC made a number of changes to the Work Plan after further consideration of project funding needs. These changes include:
1) Budgeting fewer bus infrastructure projects or associated project phases in FY 2022, resulting in lower overall proposed FY 2022 expenditures in response to further consideration of project readiness and reasonableness of capital project cost curves;
2) Adjustments for the addition of external revenue sources (e.g., federal and state grants and awards);
3) Schedule adjustments...
