Project will not be submitted for SPOT 3.0 scoring but will be submitted for consideration of STP -DA and TAP funding to be determined internally by the MPO. Bike projects that are greater than $1,000,000 in cost can be submitted as highway projects if they involve highway modifications also of benefit to motorized vehicles. Project will likely exceed $1,000,000. The State is maintaining this project in its highway project database. This project will be scored using the highway scoring methodology; however, it is not likely to score well against the State's highway scoring criteria. "Bike /pedestrian and transit projects will be considered new projects for SPOT 3.0 scoring. Previous bike /pedestrian and transit projects submitted for scoring will not automatically be scored for SPOT 3.0. Many transit projects in this priority list are meant to function as a guide for Orange County's assignment of local input points. These transit projects would ultimately need to be submitted by the transit agency responsible for making the respective capital improvements. 'Bike /Pedestrian projects require a 20% local match and must be locally administered. Right -of -way acquisition is also not a permissible cost to be funded by NCDOT for these projects. NOTES: 1) The 1 -85 and 1 -40 widening projects are already scheduled for reprioritization at the Statewide tier, and staff is suggesting that they be added to the priority list to provide a guide for staff and elected officials to determine to which Orange County projects they should assign local input points in the event that these projects are not funded at the statewide tier and become eligible at the regional or divisional funding tiers. 2) One project was removed from the priority list submitted in 2011: Old NC 86 bikeway improvements from Hillsborough Road in Carrboro to 1 -40. All other projects submitted in 2011 are included; however, the staff - suggested order of prioritization for those projects has changed. 3) The following projects within the DCHC MPO planning area portion of Orange County are currently in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP): a) 1 -40 widening b) 1 -85 widening c) Feasibility study for Dairyland Road paved shoulders project.
