9 <br /> <br />Public Transportation Projects <br /> <br />Public Transportation projects may be scored and funded within the Regional or Division <br />funding categories. Different types of public transportation projects (vehicle, passenger <br />facility, administrative/maintenance/operations facility, and fixed guideway) have different <br />scoring processes for the Regional and Division categories. <br /> <br />NCDOT and DCHC MPO Scoring Criteria for Public Transportation Projects <br />Public Transit Scoring (Demand Response) <br />Funding <br />Category <br /> <br />Quantitative Data <br />Local Input <br />Division <br />Input <br />MPO/RPO <br />Input <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Regional <br />Impact <br />Cost Effectiveness = 25% <br />• Measurement of the trips generated by the project in 10 <br />years compared to the cost of the project to NCDOT <br />(annualized by the lifespan of the project).
