15. <br /> • <br /> As per the recommendations of the TCC TIP Subcommittee (see 10/27/93 TCC Minutes), local <br /> requests are to be submitted as follows: <br /> 1. Local governments must submit a composite comprehensive local priority list. <br /> Projects must be elements of regional transportation plans and may be located <br /> anywhere in the MPO planning area. Local governments should priority order <br /> State TIP projects which are unfunded (e.g., projects labeled "Identified Future <br /> Need", "Feasibility Study in Progress", etc.). <br /> 2. Each project request must be accompanied by a MPO project request foiui <br /> (enclosed). The project description and a concise justification should be included <br /> here. Supporting data is strongly encouraged (i.e., traffic counts, accident rates, <br /> project costs). <br /> 3. Local Priority Lists are to be submitted to the Lead Planning Agency by October <br /> 31, 1994 with a certified resolution of your board's action. <br /> The TIP Subcommittee of the TCC will meet during the first two weeks of November to review <br /> any changes in local priorities. The subcommittee will review the adopted Regional Priority List <br /> and recommend any changes at the November 23, 1994 TCC meeting. A DRAFT Regional <br /> Priority List will be presented to the TAC on December 14, 1994. The TAC will authorize the <br /> release of a DRAFT Regional Priority List for public comment. The TAC will receive public <br /> comment through January 11, 1995, at which time the MPO will adopt a final Regional Priority <br /> List. The new Regional Priority List will be submitted to the State on behalf of the MPO. Local <br /> boards may also elect to submit their requests directly to the Board of Transportation. <br /> Some sample project request forms are enclosed to provide guidance. Transit operators are <br /> strongly encouraged to identify transit requests by project type (specifying funding across years <br /> in a table at the bottom of the form) rather than by funding year. You may use your own <br /> wordprocessor to re-create the project request faun, but please strive to make it consistent with <br /> the one provided. If you would like a WordPerfect template form, please let me know. <br /> Since this is the second year using the process and format described above, the process should <br /> be much smoother. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. <br /> cc: Mark Ahrendsen, TCC Chairman <br /> Enclosures <br />
