STI Prioritization

Presentation to Lee County Transportation Committee April 18, 2018

How Do Projects get Funded?

NCDOT develops a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) every two years. This document shows “programmed” projects for the upcoming ten-year period. A 2018-2027 STIP was approved last summer and we are now in the process of developing a 2020-2029 STIP that will be adopted in 2019. Projects within the first five years of the adopted STIP (in this case, through 2022) are generally considered “committed”

• projects. Projects beyond 2022 are included in the STIP so

that work may begin on project development (environmental studies, design work, etc.) but these projects are not considered committed and are subject to reprioritization.

How Can We Affect the STIP?

Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) In 2013, the General Assembly passed the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, which set up a new formula and process for selecting transportation projects to fund. The process is primarily driven by data, with some local input as well. STI takes the money that NCDOT has for capital projects (from state and federal sources) and divides it into three buckets of funding: 40% to Statewide Mobility 30% to Regional Impact 30% to Division Needs For the 2020-29 STIP, the projected available funding total is $23 billion over the ten-year period. About 2/3 of this is already committed to projects, with 1/3 available to program.

How Can We Affect the STIP?

The STI process requires that all funding decisions for the Statewide Mobility category be based 100% on data, with no local input (other than on submission of projects for consideration). Based on scoring results, no projects in

• ur area were selected for

Statewide Mobility funding. For the Regional Impact category, 70% of the scoring is based on data and 30% is based on local

• input. For the Division Needs

category, 50% is based on data and 50% is based on local input. NCDOT has a Prioritization Work Group that develops the scoring criteria for the data portion of the score. The local points are divided with equal weight between points assigned by NCDOT Division Engineers and by MPOs and RPOs. All scoring is done on a 0-100

• scale. Scoring systems are

different depending on the funding category (statewide, etc.) and the mode of transportation (highway, aviation, etc.).

When Do We Interact with STI?

Project Submissions – TARPO submitted projects for funding consideration in August 2017. These projects were scored for consideration in the 2020-2029 STIP. The next

• pportunity to submit projects will likely be in either

Spring/Summer 2019 or Spring/Summer 2020 (NCDOT has discussed possibly doing a three-year update cycle next time, but this has not yet been decided). County Rankings – TARPO uses a system that is 50% based on data and 50% based on “county-level project rankings” to help us determine how to assign local points. These county-level rankings are developed/adopted by the local jurisdictions within each of our four counties. This is

• ur main focus today.

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?



Two factors, weighted equally:



NCDOT quantitative score



Project Priority Ranking assigned at county level



NCDOT Regional scores rescaled from 70 point to 50 point scale. No rescaling necessary for NCDOT Division scores (already 50 point scale)



County-level Rankings convert to points as follows:



#1 – 50 points



#2 – 45 points



#3 – 40 points



#4 – 35 points



#5 – 30 points



#6 – 25 points



#7 – 20 points



#8 – 15 points



#9 – 10 points



#10 – 5 points

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?

 After scoring all projects, we put them in order by TARPO

score, then work our way down that list assigning the maximum number of points to each project (usually 100)

 Our policy calls for each county to get points assigned to

at least 2 projects in that county

 The point assignments derived from this methodology

create a draft recommended point assignment, but the TARPO RTAC has the final authority to assign points and is permitted to deviate from the draft (must document the reasoning)

How Does TARPO Scoring Work?

Upcoming Steps



All counties must submit their ranked lists to TARPO by May 15,

• 2018. At that time, TARPO staff will calculate scores and release the

draft recommended point assignment list. This will be posted at www.tarpo.org.



TARPO will hold a public drop-in meeting in each county in late May

• r early June to gather feedback on the point assignments.

Comments can also be sent by email to mday@tjcog.org.



The TARPO RTAC will approve Regional point assignments at its June 14, 2018 meeting in Pittsboro.



NCDOT will release the list of programmed Regional projects at the end of August. TARPO staff will adjust the draft Division point assignments as needed to account for already-funded projects and post this information online.



The TARPO RTAC will approve Division point assignments at its October 11, 2018 meeting in Pittsboro.
