Total Score and Proiect Ranking Approach <br />The process proposed for use by the BGMPO for SPOT 5.0 includes six key steps: <br />1) Identification of candidate projects <br />2) Evaluation of candidate projects <br />3) Submittal of candidate projects to NCDOT for prioritization scoring <br />4) Ranking and assignment of Local Input Points by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) <br />5) Public Involvement <br />6) Submittal of TAC approved project list to NCDOT <br />In order to meet the BGMPO scoring criteria and for the TAC, Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), and general <br />public to fully evaluate each project, candidate project submittals must include complete project descriptions, assurance <br />of local contribution (if applicable), demonstrate local stakeholder support and consistency with local and regional <br />comprehensive plans. The NCDOT SPOT process limits the number of projects that MPOs may submit. In the event that <br />more new project requests are received than the MPO can submit, the BGMPO will apply the scoring criteria developed <br />by the NCDOT that reflect the SPOT 5.0 Workgroup recommendations that were submitted to the NCDOT Board of <br />Transportation in June 2017. This will provide a set of preliminary scores that can be used to rank projects. <br />Each MPO can submit up to 12 projects and one project per 500 centerline miles, in addition to one project per 50,000 <br />in population within the MPO's boundary. For SPOT 5.0, the BGMPO is eligible to submit up to 17 projects per mode <br />(highway, public transportation, bicycle /pedestrian, aviation and rail) for evaluation and local ranking or resubmit <br />Holding Tank projects. Holding Tank projects are projects categorized as Carryover from prior Prioritizations but were <br />unfunded. <br />BGMPO staff reviews the candidate project list to ensure projects meet eligibility requirements and competitiveness <br />based on the NCDOT prioritization process and criteria. The draft project submittal list is available for public review and <br />presented to the TAC for approval and then entered into the SPOT system for scoring. <br />Point Assignment Process <br />The STI process is data driven to identify the most beneficial transportation projects within the MPO region. The <br />Burlington- Graham MPO is allocated a total of 1,300 points to allocate to each Region and Division project. The final <br />point assignment will be made by the BGMPO TAC after public review and recommendation by the TCC. The TAC will <br />consider projects for local input point assignment based on the following criteria: <br />1. Prioritization scoring results — Candidate projects will be rank ordered based on their respective NCDOT <br />prioritization scoring results. <br />Draft — December 2017 <br />Ell <br />Benefit - Cost = 25% <br />15% <br />15% <br />Measurement of monetized benefits compared to the project cost to NCDOT. <br />Safety = 15% <br />Measurement of potentially hazardous rail crossings and other safety benefits. <br />System Opportunities = 10% <br />Regional Impact <br />Measurement of accessibility and connectivity provided by the project, and <br />connections to multimodal opportunities. <br />Capacity and Diversion = 10% <br />•Volume/Capacity =75% -Highway Diversion = 25% <br />Economic Competitiveness = 10% <br />Measurement of economic benefits of the project. <br />Total = 70% (Division and Local Input Points account for remaining 30 %) <br />System Opportunities = 15% <br />Measurement of accessibility and connectivity provided by the project, and <br />connections to multimodal opportunities. <br />Benefit -Cost = 10% <br />Measurement of monetized benefits compared to the project cost to NCDOT. <br />Division Needs <br />Safety = 10% <br />25% <br />25% <br />Measurement of potentially hazardous rail crossings and other safety benefits. <br />Capacity and Diversion = 10% <br />• Volume/Capacity =75% -Highway Diversion = 25% <br />Economic Competitiveness = 5% <br />Measurement of economic benefits of the project <br />Total = 50% (Division and Local Input Points account for remaining 50 %) <br />Total Score and Proiect Ranking Approach <br />The process proposed for use by the BGMPO for SPOT 5.0 includes six key steps: <br />1) Identification of candidate projects <br />2) Evaluation of candidate projects <br />3) Submittal of candidate projects to NCDOT for prioritization scoring <br />4) Ranking and assignment of Local Input Points by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) <br />5) Public Involvement <br />6) Submittal of TAC approved project list to NCDOT <br />In order to meet the BGMPO scoring criteria and for the TAC, Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), and general <br />public to fully evaluate each project, candidate project submittals must include complete project descriptions, assurance <br />of local contribution (if applicable), demonstrate local stakeholder support and consistency with local and regional <br />comprehensive plans.
