3 SPOT P5.0 Project List Over the past few years, substantial effort has been dedicated to scoping projects to ensure that the maximum scores are obtained through the NCDOT prioritization process. As a reflection of these efforts, the updated project maps and lists for the DCHC MPO, TARPO, and B-G MPO in Orange County are provided in Attachment 4, Attachment 5, and Attachment 6, respectively. Attachment 7 provides a list of projects carried over from the last NCDOT SPOT prioritization process (P4.0). Planning efforts, e.g. the Orange County Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the DCHC MPO Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), among others, provide the basis for all projects included on these draft project lists for submission to the P5.0 process. OUTBoard Meeting—April 19, 2017 The OUTBoard unanimously approved the project lists for consideration in the SPOT P5.0 process for the B-G MPO, TARPO, and the DCHC MPO with the addition of one project to the DCHC MPO list, the roundabout in Calvander at the intersection of Dairyland Road, Homestead Road, and Old NC 86. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with this item except that projects specifically categorized as bicycle and pedestrian projects will require a 20 percent local match from the County and will require the County to expend any costs related to right-of- way acquisition, engineering and design, and project management and administration if those projects are to be included in the STIP. The attached project lists contain a total of thirteen (13) separate bike/ped projects. All bike and pedestrian projects will require a future resolution or letter of commitment from Orange County indicating the County will provide the local match if any of the projects are selected for funding. This will be choreographed with the budget process if possible. If not, this match will be added to an agenda for BOCC action mid-year. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this agenda item: • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve/endorse the resolution (Attachment 1) to submit transportation projects to the BGMPO, TARPO and DCHC MPO for State scoring and ultimate consideration of inclusion in the 2020-2029 STIP (P5.0).
