10 <br /> Review of Projects Currently Funded <br /> Attachment 4 provides a list of the County's transportation projects considered during the last <br /> prioritization process (SPOT 4.0) and indicates, with shading, the five projects currently funded <br /> in the 2018-2027 STIP. During SPOT 3.0, only one of Orange County's projects from its <br /> original list was funded in the 2016-2025 STIP. This project was the Hillsborough Train Station, <br /> which is scheduled for construction in 2021. Each STIP includes a schedule of the work type <br /> (activity) that is to occur each fiscal year for purposes of tracking a project through Project <br /> Development and Environmental Analysis, Design, Property Acquisition, and Construction. <br /> Following is a link to a new online tool developed and maintained by NCDOT for viewing STIP <br /> projects: https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/planning/pages/state-transportation- <br /> improvementprogram.aspx <br /> Orange County Transportation Planning staff developed project tracking flowcharts during the <br /> SPOT 4.0 process that it used to share information with the BOCC and public. However, the <br /> flowchart did not and does not include tracking of County projects from the previous SPOT 3.0 <br /> process or the SPOT 5.0 process, which has just begun. Over the course of the next several <br /> weeks, Transportation Planning staff will be working to expand upon its flowchart concept in <br /> hope to provide a more sophisticated project tracking tool that includes the County's projects <br /> submitted over multiple SPOT/STIP cycles with linkages to the specific work type and schedule <br /> that is provided in each STIP. <br /> Craig Benedict made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> New Transportation Funding Formulas passed in 2013 <br /> o STI (Strategic Transportation Investments) <br /> • Implemented through a SPOT <br /> • Strategic Prioritization Office <br /> • Process every two years creating a 10 year program of multiple projects <br /> Each 2 years SPOT cycle is known as SPOT X.X <br /> o SPOT 2.0 2014-2023 (adopted) <br /> o SPOT 3.0 2016-2025 (adopted) <br /> o SPOT 4.0 2018-2027 (almost adopted) <br /> o SPOT 5.0 2020-2029 (starting 2 year process) <br /> SPOT is primarily driven by data at different levels <br /> • State— 100 points <br /> • Regional— 70 points <br /> • Division— 50 points <br /> What is the 2045 (MTP) Process?
