DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections

PURPOSE: To consider a resolution endorsing lists of Orange County transportation projects to
the Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning Organization (BGMPO), Triangle Area Rural
Planning Organization (TARPO) and Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning
Organization (DCHC MPO) for Strategic Prioritization of Transportation (SPOT)/Strategic
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
BACKGROUND: Biennially, the North Carolina Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a ten
year STIP that funds and schedules transportation projects throughout the state for all modes of
transportation. The STIP implements Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organization's
(MPO/RPO) adopted Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) and Metropolitan
Transportation Plan (MTP). The CTPs and MTPs are used by MPO/RPOs to determine which
projects are submitted for considered in the STIP using the SPOT process.
SPOT 5.0/STIP FY 2020-2029
Orange County has thirty-nine (39) projects in SPOT 5.0. This includes its member jurisdictions
- Hillsborough, Mebane, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro. Eight of them have been funded, and those
projects are:
• TIP - I-3306A: I-40 Widening from 1-85 to US 15/501
• TIP - 1-5984: 1-85 at NC-86 Interchange upgrade
• TIP - 1-0305: 1-85 Widening from Orange Grove Road to Durham County
• TIP - U-5304A, B, D, E, F: US 15/501 improvements from NC-86 to I-40 (Chapel Hill)
SPOT 6.0 Schedule and Process— FY 2022-2031
Between July 1, 2019 — September 30, 2019, MPO/RPOs across the state will submit their
limited number of projects — based on their population and total centerline miles — to the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for inclusion in SPOT 6.0. These projects must
be approved by their respective Boards prior to submission. Orange County's process requires
that the Board of County Commissioners (BPCC) approve the list of County transportation
2
priorities prior to submission to the respective MPO/RPO. Each MPO/RPO has its own unique
process for determining which limited number of projects it submits to NCDOT.
• DCHC MPO will only submit projects listed in the adopted MTP
• TARPO will establish a subcommittee to determine which projects to submit
• BG MPO uses a multi-criteria process to determine which projects to submit
Before MPO/RPO Boards approve the projects for submission, they will conduct a 30 day public
comment period and public hearing.
SPOT 6.0 Project List— Staff and OUTBoard Recommendations
Based on changes to MPO/RPO SPOT project selection processes, staff is recommending
Orange County transportation priorities also change so that projects may compete better. Staff
has also met with member jurisdictions in Orange County to identify specific corridors they
would like addressed through SPOT/STIP or other funding opportunities. These changes and
potential corridors are provided as staff recommendations for Orange County Transportation
Priorities (Attachments 1 - 3). Many Orange County 2017 transportation priorities are carried
forward and highlighted in Green. Possible new priorities are provided in
• Staff is recommending removal of independent bike/pedestrian projects based on
Strategic Transportation Investment (STI) Law § 136-189.11 (d).(3).c.— The Department
shall not provide financial support for independent bicycle and pedestrian improvement
projects.
o Independent bike/ pedestrian projects can be pursued through "Federal Surface
Transportation Block Grant Direct Allocation".
o They require 20% local match and local administration.
• Staff recommends converting paved shoulder projects and independent bike/ pedestrian
projects to highway modernization projects with bike lanes.
o First 5 feet of sidewalk width is subject to NCDOT's Sidewalk Cost Share Policy —
50% for Orange County — and any additional width must be 100% locally funded.
• Staff recommends adding Old NC-86, NC-86, US-70 and NC-54 as County Priorities for
SPOT and other funding opportunities.
• OUTBoard recommendations are provided in Attachments 1 — 3. Below is a summary of
its recommendations:
o Carry forward previous County Priorities and recommend they be highway projects
with 11' travel lane and 5' paved shoulder, no curb and gutter or sidewalk.
■ Projects in town jurisdictions should be coordinated with the town with the
understanding towns may submit them to MPO.
o US-70 widening not recommended as possible project
■ Opposes more cars on road and find better ways to keep trucks on interstate
so they do not avoid the weigh station.
o Table NC-86 and NC-54 till MPO/RPO complete update to CTP
■ Recommend BOCC request TARPO request NCDOT study NC-86 and update
CTP before proceeding with possible project.
■ Await DCHC MPO action on NC-54 Corridor Study before proceeding with
possible project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with this item.
However, should the County seek any bicycle or pedestrian projects, it will be required to
provide 20 percent local match for the project's overall cost and to provide local administration.
All bike and pedestrian projects will require a resolution or letter of commitment from Orange
3
County indicating the County will provide the local match and administration if any such projects
are selected for funding. This would be choreographed with the County's budget process.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding
necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for
themselves and their dependents.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve/endorse the
resolution (Attachment 4) to submit transportation projects to the BGMPO, TARPO and DCHC
MPO for SPOT 6.0/STIP 2022-2031.

STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Board of Transportation (BOT), every two years, prepares a Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that identifies transportation projects to be implemented
over the next ten years with State and Federal funding; and
WHEREAS, the North Carolina BOT solicits input for identifying transportation projects of local and
regional importance to be included in the FY 2022-2031 STIP; and
WHEREAS, the BGMPO and TARPO Transportation Advisory Committees and the DCHC MPO
Board are charged with the development of a Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program
(MTIP) or regional priority list; and
WHEREAS, Orange County is a member jurisdiction of the BGMPO, TARPO and DCHC MPO; and
WHEREAS, Orange County gives priority to identified safety needs on existing roads and bridges, to
transportation projects that encourage alternatives to automobile travel, to projects that minimize
adverse impacts on the natural environment and cultural sites, and to those projects that foster
economic development in the County's designated Economic Development Districts; and
WHEREAS, Orange County strongly encourages the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) to design all highway projects, where appropriate, to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian
traffic to provide alternative means of transportation that may result in reduced automobile traffic and
related air and water impacts; and
WHEREAS, Orange County encourages the NCDOT to design all new or replacement bridges with
sufficient clearance to allow wildlife to cross safely under them, and to allow pedestrian passage along
any existing or planned trail-system connectors; and
WHEREAS, Orange County has outlined its transportation needs within the BGMPO, TARPO and
DCHC MPO planning areas in attachments to this resolution;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that the
Board endorses the following list of transportation projects to be submitted for scoring by the State
and to ultimately be considered for inclusion in the FY 2022-2031 STIP.
