1 RPO. Implicit in this process is the application of a new Strategic Mobility Formula (SMF) developed as part of the STI legislation as well as a revised /updated scoring methodology that institutes major changes to the inputs and weights used to rank projects for consideration and inclusion in the STIP. It is important to note that these changes have significant implications for many of the projects Orange County has previously submitted and will likely be submitting in this next iteration of priorities. Further information on the SMF is accessible using the following weblink: http: / /www.ncdot.gov/ download/ strategictransportationinvestments /Strategic Mobility Formula Fact Sheet.pdf Further information on the new BOT- recommended scoring /ranking methodology (SPOT 3.0) is accessible using the following weblink: http: / /www. ncdot.gov/ download/ strategictransportationinvestments /Prioritization. pdf Further information on NCDOT's previous scoring /ranking methodology (SPOT 2.0) is accessible using the following weblink: http: / /www.ncdot.gov/ download / performance /prioritization2 man 2012. Pdf In preparation for the State's new ranking and programming process, Orange County will be asked to submit a priority list of projects and their respective rankings to the Durham - Chapel Hill - Carrboro (DCHC) MPO, BGMPO, and the Triangle Area Regional Planning Organization ( TARPO) for proposed projects contained within each organization's respective planning area. The schedule for submitting projects to each organization differs based on each organization's regular meeting frequencies. Based on the State's timeline for the adoption of its final 2016 -2022 STIP, staff foresees that Orange County's project priority lists for TARPO and the DCHC MPO will need to be submitted to each by late November 2013. As such, the Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) is scheduled to consider and recommend to the BOCC a priority list for TARPO and the DCHC MPO at the OUTBoard's September 18th meeting and then forwarded to the BOCC for consideration at Board's October 15th meeting. Alternatively, BGMPO's schedule for submission of priority projects is such that Orange County projects proposed for consideration in its planning area will need to be submitted to the MPO by the end of September. This is the first time Orange County will submit a priority list of projects to the BGMPO. The projects to be considered by the BOCC are completely new projects with no prior history of scoring or ranking through BGMPO; however, some of the projects proposed for submission have previously been scored and ranked through the DCHC MPO. A total of ten (10) projects may be submitted by each local government represented in the BGMPO planning area. Given the constrained size of BGMPO's planning area within Orange County, only a very limited number of needed projects can be conceived and proposed. A total of six (6) projects have been developed and /or identified and ranked for submission for consideration. OUTBoard- Recommended Prioritv List for BGMPO The OUTBoard considered and recommended approval /endorsement of the Orange County project priority list for the BGMPO planning area at its August 21St meeting for the BOCC to consider and approve /endorse at its September 17th meeting. The OUTBoard made no changes to the staff- recommended priority list for BGMPO and provided no major comments regarding the submission of the provided projects.
