<br /> Multimodal Impact Assessment (MIA)
<br /> As part of the County's annual budget process, each County Department is given the opportunity
<br /> to establish or update any fees required of properties that go through the County's development
<br /> review process, and in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance. OCTS is seeking
<br /> to establish its first transportation fee (e.g. MIA). This initiative stems primarily from the
<br /> department's role in the Development Review Committee (DAC), where it provides the Planning
<br /> Department with comprehensive assessment on the proposed development on the County's
<br /> multimodal transportation network, and it applies to all development applications. OCTS has
<br /> recently updated its DAC memo with data, analytics, performance measures, targets, and other
<br /> evidence-based MIA.
<br /> The MIA is composed of 3 parts, each part annotated with minimum criteria:
<br /> • Site Review - $100
<br /> • Residential & Non-Residential - $200 + $200/acre
<br /> • Assessment (e.g. Bike, Ped, Transit, Auto)
<br /> o < 80 Du/800 Trips = $200
<br /> o > 80 Du/800 Trips = $400 (NCDOT and OC Check List)
<br /> Example: = $100 site review + $200 Residential + $300 (1.5 acres) + $200 (<80 Du)
<br /> = $800
<br /> Site Review:
<br /> • Site visit — street pictures, aerials, historic information, facilities, environment, etc.
<br /> • Data —functional class, AADT, crashes, TAZ, ROW, Center Line, LOS, Trip Gen, etc.
<br /> • Plan(s) — CTP, MTP, TRM, SRTS, SRTP, Bike/Ped, Transit, Freight, etc.
<br /> Residential & Non-Residential— minimum:
<br /> • Performance Measures — Increased bike/ped/transit access, reduced/shared access
<br /> • Goals and Objectives — How development helps meet local, regional and state plans
<br /> • Safety — Operational improvements, infrastructure addition, etc.
<br /> Assessment - minimum
<br /> • Safety — Crash types, speeding, citations, AASHTO, etc.
<br /> • Access & Equity — Vehicle type, mode, last mile/first mile, % vehicle vs other, etc.
<br /> • Economy — access to opportunities, jobs, etc.
<br /> • Multimodal Assessment — Charlotte, NC model
<br /> Multimodal Infrastructure Maintenance Program (MIMP):
<br /> Periodically, funds collected through the MIA would go into a single non-departmental Capital
<br /> Improvement Program Fund called Multimodal Infrastructure Maintenance Program (MIMP). It
<br /> will be used for the implementation of County's adopted transportation plans and maintenance
<br /> of multimodal facilities like sidewalks, bike lanes, greenways, trails, transit access, and other
