• Coordination with the Division Engineers and neighboring MPOs and RPOs on the assignment of points; • Public input and support as evidenced through public comments submitted to the MPO, the MPO's public hearing, public involvement efforts of local governments, and local referenda; • The MPO Board members' knowledge of the urban area and the policies of their communities; and • Other factors as identified. If the MPO Board varies from the recommended allocation of points, MPO staff will document the rationale and will post the documentation on the MPO's website. Attachment 2 - DCHC MPO process - provides additional details. B -G MPO Local Input Point Process The Burlington- Graham MPO is allocated a total of 1,300 points to allocate to each Region and Division project. The final point assignment will be made by the BGMPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) after public review and recommendation by the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC). The TAC will consider projects for local input point assignment based on the following criteria- 1 . Prioritization scoring results — Candidate projects will be rank ordered based on their respective NCDOT prioritization scoring results. 2. Consistency with local and regional plans — Candidate projects must be consistent and included within locally adopted comprehensive plans and the adopted Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). 3. Public Involvement — Consideration of public comments by the TAC before assigning local input points to the rank ordered project list. 4. Point Assignment — The TAC will assign the maximum 100 points to the top ranked projects. Per the NCDOT and STI regulations, 1,300 points is available to assign to Region level projects and Division level projects. The TAC may exercise its option of sharing or allocating unassigned local input points to increase the "scoring" of regional transportation projects (regional being more than one county) with an adjacent MPO. This process is accomplished via an informal agreement between the MPOs and notification to NCDOT. The ranked list of the highest scoring projects will be submitted to NCDOT for further evaluation. Final project submittal will also occur via online process with NCDOT. Attachment 3 — B -G MPO process - provides additional details.
