• In attainment areas, MPOs have pro-active clean air campaigns in place and <br />public education campaigns for cleaner air. <br />Based on the CAMPO organizational structure and practices review and the peer <br />analysis, several broad policy actions for addressing issues and concerns are suggested <br />along with three optional organizational structures for implementing those broad policy <br />actions. These broad policy actions and optional organizational structures provide insight <br />and guidance for specific actionable decisions that only the CAMPO members and <br />stakeholders can, collectively, make for themselves. <br />The broad policy actions suggested include the following: <br />- Coordinate air quality planning activities with DCHC and neighboring non-MPO <br />jurisdictions and implement a public education campaign for cleaner air. <br />- Modify committee structures to ensure a transportation decision-making process <br />that: ~ ~ ~ ° ~:~+, ,..W , <br />. . -£ .. <br />• <br />• 3'~ ~ ,~ ~ f~c ~ asst ~~i~+~ ~~~ r: ~ ~~$~ <br />IF g"s 1 ~r~;' <br />* ~•~:~ Eucouratres ~di yer , o ~~ rbbu deb <br />I~ .'° .~ <br />~` Is '' ~ , ed and fair to all' members; <br />• vides benefits to all local government jurisdictions; <br />• Discourages undue influence by a minority of member agencies; and <br />• Requires all members to have a financial stake in the MPO. <br />- Enhance staff capacity and objectivity by: <br />• Increasing staff size and expertise; <br />• Distancing the CAMPO staff from the administrative control of the City of <br />Raleigh or other local jurisdictions; and <br />• Requiring all CAMPO members to participate financially in the support of <br />CAMPO. <br />- Enhance planning and project funding capacity by: <br />• Retaining more funds from existing resources and developing more in-house <br />capability; <br />vi <br />
