<br />Prioritization 7.0 Local Point Methodology for Central Pines RPO – Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Description of Criteria and Weights <br />Countywide Ranking of Projects <br />Within each CPRPO county, all the local jurisdictions (including the county and any <br />municipalities within the county that are in CPRPO) must work together to develop a single <br />ranked list of projects in all modes to submit to CPRPO for use in the prioritization process. This <br />list must be based on the list of projects that have been previously submitted to NCDOT—new <br />projects cannot be added at this point in the process. These projects should be ranked in order <br />from highest priority (#1) to lowest (#10). If there are more than ten projects within a county, <br />then only the top ten should be ranked. It is up to the local jurisdictions, working together, to <br />determine the best method for achieving this within each county; however, the following general <br />rules apply: <br /> All jurisdictions should be given an opportunity to participate in the development of their <br />county’s ranked project list if they choose <br /> The process must include at least one meeting open to the public that allows for public <br />comment <br /> There must be written documentation stating the reasoning behind the selected project <br />ranking (this must be submitted to CPRPO and will be posted online along with the <br />project list) <br /> <br />These local ranked priority lists should be developed and submitted to CPRPO within 45 days <br />after NCDOT releases its draft quantitative scores for projects. Once submitted to CPRPO, the <br />local priority lists will be posted online and made available for additional public comment prior to <br />the CPRPO RTAC’s approval of local input points on projects. <br />All projects will receive 50% of their total CPRPO score based on the ranking assigned to that <br />project by local officials in the above-described countywide rankings. This applies to all modes. <br />These points will be assigned as follows: <br /># 1 Priority in County 50 points # 6 Priority in County 25 points <br /># 2 Priority in County 45 points # 7 Priority in County 20 points <br /># 3 Priority in County 40 points # 8 Priority in County 15 points <br /># 4 Priority in County 35 points # 9 Priority in County 10 points <br /># 5 Priority in County 30 points #10 Priority in County 5 points <br /> * All other projects (ranked lower or unranked) receive 0 points for this item. <br /> <br /> <br />For the Prioritization 7.0 Process only, SMPO members may choose to hold a separate <br />meeting or meet jointly with the rest of Moore County. They may rank their top 10 projects <br />separately. If they do so, the scores on Moore County projects would be combined and <br />then assigned a point score based on the chart below. SMPO will need to submit their list <br />to CPRPO within 45 days after NCDOT releases its list of quantitative scores, if they rank <br />their projects separately from Moore County.
