Orange County Regional Impact Tier Projects Both the Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) and the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) project priority lists included projects eligible for funding in the Regional Impact funding tier of the SPOT prioritization process P4.0. No projects eligible for funding in the Regional Impact funding tier are included in Orange County's portion of the Burlington-Graham MPO (BG MPO) jurisdiction. Of these projects, only the I-40/NC 86 Interchange Improvements project just north of Chapel Hill was selected for inclusion in the 2018-2027 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Cascading Projects As per the policy of the DCHC MPO, no projects are allowed to cascade to lower funding tiers. The TARPO policy, however, does allow projects to cascade between funding tiers. For the Orange County projects within the TARPO planning area, both the NC 54 Operational Improvements project and the NC 54 and Orange Grove Road Intersection Improvements project cascaded to the Division Needs funding tier from the Regional Impact funding tier. It is anticipated that both of these projects will receive Local Input Points from TARPO. Next Steps Neither BG MPO nor TARPO has formally approved the assignment of Local Input Points to projects in the Division Needs tier, though Local Input Points were assigned for all projects before submitting projects for consideration at the Regional Impact level. Both TARPO and BG MPO will assign Local Input Points during the month of October at the 2 Division Needs tier, while DCHC MPO has already assigned Local Input Points to projects. Final Local Input Point assignments are due back to the North Carolina Department of Transportation by the end of October. Attachment 1 indicates the updated Local Point Assignment for Division Needs projects in DCHC MPO, the proposed Local Input Point assignment for Division Needs projects in TARPO, and funding decisions at the Regional Impact funding tier. The Draft STIP is expected for release in Winter 2016 and is scheduled to be finalized in Summer 2017. 2 Created By:Max Bushell,Orange Att 1: SPOT P4.0 Transportation Project Prioritization Process (STIP 2018 — 2027) — DCHC MPO County Transpirtation Planner i1nitisl project Ust Statewide Regional Impact Division Needs* 100 N.Dd— ] NtaDdw,,15%MPO/RPO Input,M Division Input 50%Data Drtr ]5%MPO/RPO Input,35%—mn Input August/September ® 1 South Churton Street(Old NC 86 from I- South Churton Street(O1cf--NC86)from I- 40 to Eno River Improvements 0 to Eno River Improvements 140 Widening from 1-40/1-85 interchange 1-40 Widening from 1-40/1-85 RECEIVED LOCAL INPUT POINTS(100) to NC 86 13 interchange to NC 86 J I-40 Widening from NC 86 to U.S.15-501 414 1-40 Widening from NC 86 to U.S.15-501 FUNDEDI 4� I-40 and NC 86 Interchange I-40/NC 86 Interchange Improvements Improvements '—' I-85/Old NC 86 SR-1009-South Churton FUNDED!
