Quantitative Project Scoring <br />After projects are submitted by local jurisdictions at the county level, the projects will be scored by TARPQ <br />staff based on the quantitative criteria described below. There are separate scoring methodologies for <br />highway projects and bicycle/pedestrian projects. <br />Highway <br />Each county will have submitted a list of u12 to 10 highway projects in ranked order. As an initial basis for <br />determining the quantitative score, each project will receive points based on its rank within the county - level <br />project lists as follows: <br /># 1 Priority in Count <br />100 points <br /># 2 Priority in County <br /># 6 Priority in County <br />50 points <br /># 2 Priority in County <br />90 points <br />20 points <br /># 7 Priority in County <br />40 points <br /># 3 Priority in County <br />80 points <br /># 8 Priority in County <br />30 points <br /># 4 Priority in County <br />70 points <br /># 9 Priority in County <br />20 points <br /># 5 Priority in County <br />60 points <br /># 10 Priority in County <br />10 points <br />In addition to this rank -based score, projects will also receive points based on a range of data- driven <br />criteria, including congestion, crash history, economic development, multimodal elements, jurisdictional <br />collaboration, and plan consistency.
