Prescreening Process

Issue: Some current STI Aviation projects may not be able to get FAA approval on purpose and need. Recommendations:

  • DoA will improve process to screen and vet projects for

justification prior to STI submission. This may include requiring a DoA approval letter with each project submittal.

  • DoA will develop a plan for communicating the new process to

airports.

  • Likely have to wait until P7.0 for implementation due to P6.0

project submittal schedule. DoA will evaluate P6.0 projects after submittal but prior to scoring.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Project Eligibility

Issue: Need to revise the requirements that determine the type of projects eligible for STI. Recommendation: Remove system plan goal requirement and expand eligible projects to include projects that increase the capacity of the airport and/or modernize the airport. With counties and municipalities developing P6.0 project lists now, DoA and SPOT Office are developing communications to inform the airports, MPOs, RPOs and divisions of this anticipated change.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Aviation Non-State Contribution Index

Non-State Contribution Index = Total non-state funding sources Total state funding

Issue: Scaling greatly skews the scores for this criterion because most GA airports do not provide a non-state contribution. Recommendation: Remove this criterion and incorporate a funding leverage component into the Benefit-Cost criteria. This is similar to Highways and Rail.

Total $ Econ. Contribution of Tier * NCDOA Capital Project Rating Total # of IFR Ops of Tier Cost to NCDOT $ Econ. Contribution of Airport x NCDOA Capital Total # of IFR Ops of Airport Project Rating + Other Funds x 100 Cost to NCDOT Total Project Cost Recommended Measure: Notes: ‐ Includes direct, indirect and induced economic contributions for each airport ‐ Uses the Economic Contribution and IFR operations of the airport ‐ Use average IFR Ops of airport color tier for the 5 +/‐ airports that do not have ops. ‐ Includes a funding leverage component to increase score for all other funds _(non‐federal or non‐state funds) committed to the project ‐ Funding leverage will not be capped or scaled

slide-18
SLIDE 18

New Criterion Issue: Need to develop a new criterion to replace the Non-State Contribution Index. Recommendation: Develop a new Constructability Index.

Proposed Constructability Index

27

Purpose: Measures project constructability Measure: Each project and airport metric receives a score for meeting the stated metric.

  • Project has 90% design complete at project submission
  • Project has final environmental document complete at

project submission

  • Land acquisition requirement
  • Project meets system plan goals
  • Airport DoA Financial Risk Factor Rating [1 to 25 points]
  • Airport has clear approach for each end of primary runway
  • Airport has a legally enforceable protection zone

  • Airport has clear approach for each end of primary runway – points

increase for each item

  • Has “close in” obstructions
  • No “close in” obstructions
  • No obstructions within Runway Safety Area, including FAA

compliant measures

  • No obstructions within threshold siting surface
  • No obstructions within Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77
  • Airport has a legally enforceable protection zone
  • Does not have legally enforceable protection zone
  • Has legally enforceable protection zone, but does not meet Part 77
  • Legally enforceable protection zone that meets Part 77

Airport DoA Financial Risk Factor Rating

  • Monitors federal award subrecipients to ensure reasonable

assurance that the subrecipient administers federal awards in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements and that performance goals are

  • achieved. DoA applies the federal guidelines to state awards.
  • Per the Office of Management and Budgets Uniform

Guidance, subrecipients may be evaluated as higher risk or lower risk to determine the need for closer monitoring.

  • Possible Risk Factors
  • History of non-compliance
  • New personnel
  • New or substantially changed systems

ATLAS Crash Risk

64

  • Analysis based on all bicycle and pedestrian crashes to identify scores per

risk factor, weighted to calculate total score per roadway segment

  • Geoprocessed in SPOT On!ine
  • Higher score = higher risk

Risk Factor Background Notes Weight

Location within an incorporated area (incl. ETJ) Overall descriptor for crash locations Preferred over urbanized/non‐urbanized; similar to land use results

10

Surrounding land uses More refined context descriptor for crash locations, indicates travel Residential/Commercial rank highest; Agri/Vacant, Institutional, Other lower categories

20

Roadway configuration Median without positive control OR one‐way may indicate longer crossing distances Heavy emphasis on two‐way, undivided roadways (over one‐way or divided roadways)

20

Posted speed limit Indicator for risk for severe or fatal crashes 25, 35 mph rank highest; 45, 55 mph mid‐tier; 60+ mph lowest scores

20

Annual average daily traffic Indicates increase risk for crash (exposure) Highest scores to 15,000‐40,000; Mid‐tier scores for (2,000‐6,000), (6,000‐9,000), (9,000‐15,000); Lowest scores for roads <2,000 or >40,000

P5.0 Safety Benefit

66

Point values based entirely on SIT Issues: 1. Some members felt that certain eligible facilities within each SIT do not align with the same assumed benefit to the safety of users 2. Not enough variation in potential lookup values (?)

slide-39
SLIDE 39

P6.0 Safety Benefit Options

67

Options: 1. Group by SBF/CMF

  • Not feasible – CMF data is not complete for bicycle facilities, and

CMFs are not intended to be used as singular data points (intended for use in formulas)

2. Keep as-is for P6.0 (with intent to research and improve for P7.0) 3. Group by actual facilities based on assumed benefit to the safety of users (more specific than based only on SIT)

ATLAS Points of Interest

72

  • Categories to use:
  • Government buildings (aka

municipal centers) – geocoding

  • Fire/EMS
  • Transit stations/stops
  • Schools (K-12, public/private),

universities, colleges

  • Tourist destinations (historic

districts, major sports)

  • Parks (national, state, local)
  • Medical (hospitals and

public/private clinics)

  • Places of worship
  • Adult education centers
  • Employment centers (25 min)
  • Tourist destinations (museums,

theaters, auditoriums) – manual?

  • Shelters – manual?
  • Remove:
  • Residential [accounted for in Demand/Density criteria]
  • Mixed use [too ambiguous]
  • Mostly points, some polygons (universities, parks)
  • Each worth 1 point (no Major/Secondary categories)
  • Manual categories and QC process – during data review
slide-43
SLIDE 43

Connectivity

73

  • Connection Point options and point values
  • ATLAS PBIN (Pedestrian Bicycle Infrastructure Network) as reference

layer in SPOT On!ine and externally in GIS – shows existing and planned infrastructure

  • Submitters manually enter connection points in SPOT On!ine anywhere

along project º Tiered point values for options of connecting to bike/ped facilities:

  • 1. Existing or Committed (in STIP or with local funds) – 1 each
  • 2. In a plan – 1 (capped at 1)
slide-44
SLIDE 44

Bike Routes

74

  • Reward if project is improving National/State/Regional bike route or

designated state/federal trails

1. On a route – 2 2. Connects to a route (whether infrastructure exists or not) – 1

Bike/Ped Cost Estimation Tool Updates

79

AECOM under contract (in process) to update the bicycle and pedestrian cost estimation tool for P6.0 projects

  • Currently a spreadsheet hosted on Prioritization Data page, originally

created by UNC Charlotte and updated in P5.0 by consultant with simpler guidance

slide-48
SLIDE 48

Bike/Ped Cost Estimation Tool Updates

80

Anticipated requirements of the new tool will include the following:

  • Be intuitive for submitters to use and specifically designed to

accommodate those who are unfamiliar with the project design and construction processes

  • Be transparent in the calculations it runs
  • Produce estimates broken into components to match the inputs needed for

SPOT Online

  • Produce estimates in a format appropriate for easy explanation to elected

and appointed officials

  • Be easy to maintain by NCDOT personnel
  • Be completed and ready for use by P6.0 project submitters by June 15,

2019
