1 2018 Local Input for Transportation Projects FRENCH BROAD RIVER METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

2 INTRODUCTION The Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law governs the process in which the State of North Carolina prioritizes transportation projects. The law was passed in 2013 with the intent of creating a data-driven, collaborative process between, planning organizations, local governments, and the public to efficiently utilize funding for transportation improvements across the state. Workgroup. Metropolitan Planning Organizations (s), Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs), and Engineers assign local input points to projects in the Regional Impact and funding categories. These points are applied in the calculation of the final project scores for Prioritization 5.0 to determine which projects are funded at the Regional Impact and funding categories. As part of the prioritization process, projects are solicited from planning organizations and s. Projects submitted into the prioritization process are placed into three different funding funding categories based on facility and project types: Statewide Mobility, Regional Impact, and. Project scoring for the Statewide Mobility funding category is based solely on quantitative data developed by the Prioritization

3 To ensure local input points are being applied through a process that is transparent, s and RPOs are required to develop a methodology that outlines how they will determine which projects will have local input points applied. This local input methodology for the French Broad River has been developed to meet the requirements of Session Law which requires that s and RPOs have a process that includes at least two criteria (with at least one being qualitative), for determining project prioritization. METHODOLOGY The French Broad River s methodology for assigning local input points is available- in full- on the website ( but to paraphrase, the s methodology is based on the following tenants: estimated amount of funding available for 13 and 14 (plus an additional 20%) has been exhausted The Board may decide to make exceptions to the methodology based on public input, coordination with, or at the Board s discretion The s methodology gives projects up to 100 points. Quantitative data (congestion, safety, multimodal, environmental, and freight) makes up 75% of the overall score. Qualitative data (local priorities as determined by local government staff or the Henderson County Transportation Advisory Committee) makes up the remaining 25% of the overall score. The score of the projects based on the s methodology helps to recommend to the Board what projects should receive local input points. The will not cascade projects from one funding category to another by default, but will consider cascading projects on a case-by-case basis The will assign local input points on projects, based on its approved methodology, until it has either exhausted its local input points (1,800) or until the

4 THE EFFECT OF LOCAL INPUT POINTS The s allocation of local input points on projects in the Regional Impact and funding categories plays a part in determining the project s overall score in the state s prioritization process. For each funding category the s allocation of local input points accounts for the following percentage of a project s P 5.0 score: Regional Impact Funding Category 15% Funding Category 25% Engineers may also allocate points to projects in Planning Area. PROCESS AND TIMELINE The general process for applying local input points for projects in the French Broad River is as follows: Task September 27, 2018 October 3, 2018 October 11, 2018 October 24, 2018 October 25, 2018 Date Board approves cascaded projects and Local Input Public Comment on Local Input opens TCC recommends Final Local Input Point allocation Public Comment on Local Input closes Board approves Final Local Input Point allocation

5 DRAFT LOCAL INPUT POINTS On September 27, 2018 the Board elected to cascade a number of projects (five from Buncombe County and six from Haywood County) to the tier. The Board also elected to make a modification to the projects receiving draft points, moving points from an access management project on US 74-A (Fairview in Buncombe County to a modernization project on NC 81 (Swannanoa River in Buncombe County. These changes have been reflected below. FUNDING AND POINTS The French Broad River has 1,800 local input points available for projects within the planning area. Per the s methodology, 500 of these points will be reserved for non-highway projects at the tier. The s methodology applies local input points to projects until the is either out of points or out of estimated available funding (estimated funding +20%). Any exceptions to the methodology are required to be approved by the Board. All of the counties in s 13 and 14, compete for funding in the tiers in 13 as well as 14. Funding is allocated to different divisions around the state evenly (each division receives 1/14 th of the funding available.) The following information is based on information made available from for P 5.0.
