projects will be considered at the Regional Impact level, wherein data accounts for 70 percent of the project score and local input counts for 30 percent. The period for local input into prioritization is April to May. Following a period of evaluation, NCDOT will publish the results of the Regional Impact Project prioritization (end of July). The remaining projects will be evaluated at the Divisional Needs level, which evaluates projects based 50 percent on data and 50 percent on local input. The comment period for local input is from August to September. NCDOT will then finalize the Divisional Needs portion of the Draft STIP and publish a completed draft STIP in December of 2016, with final approval by the Board of Transportation sometime in Summer 2017. With this timeline in mind, the State is currently just short of midway through the 2018-2027 STIP process and is currently reviewing projects for funding at the Statewide Mobility level.

OUTBoard Role In previous years, the OUTBoard has been involved in establishing transportation priority lists as part of this process. Most recently, the OUTBoard reviewed the proposed Orange County projects at the meeting on May 20, 2015. The goal of this presentation is to help the OUTBoard understand how projects are prioritized within each MPO/RPO jurisdiction as part of the Prioritization 4.0 process (the fourth iteration of statewide project prioritization). More information specific to the development of the 2018-2027 TIP can be found at this link: http://www.ncdot.gov/strategictransportationinvestments/2018-2027.html. DCHC MPO Process The DCHC MPO process is designed to address certain factors, including multi-modal transportation needs, a regional balance of projects, and projects needed based on technical criteria. Ultimately, the goal is to create a project ranking that satisfies MPO goals, is easily understandable particularly by the public, and is simple enough on a project level, i.e. does not require unnecessary data collection. More information about the MPO Goals can be found at this link: http://www.dchcmpo.org/programs/transport/2040mtp/goals.asp. The steps in the process are noted briefly below: 1.Submission of Local Priority Lists to the MPO by public/member jurisdictions. 2.DCHC MPO Screening for Projects – Meet regional goals? Are cost-effective? Timing of project crucial? 3.Top fourteen (14) new projects for each mode (highway, public transit, bicycle/pedestrian, rail) submitted to Strategic Transportation Investments Process/ SPOT P4.0. 8
