Recommendation by the Lee County Transportation Committee (LCTC) on the Ranking of the Lee County Transportation Proiects to Submit to the Triangle Area Planning Organization (TARPO) To determine NCDOT funding, as carried out through North Carolina's Strategic Transportation Investments Law and the associated Prioritization 5.0 process, TARPO uses a methodology intended to incorporate both measurable data and information about priorities from local jurisdictions, to ensure a process that is both data -driven and responsive to local needs. Projects with high enough scores will be placed on the 2020- 2029 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) which identifies transportation projects that NCDOT plans to construct during that time period. Transportation projects can fall into six modes: Highway, Bike/Pedestrian, Aviation, Rail, Public Transit, and Ferry. NCDOT has recently released its quantitative scores for all Prioritization 5.0 eligible projects on April 3, 2018. Lee County has a total of 23 projects eligible for funding and scoring. Projects are delineated into at least one category: Statewide, Regional, and Division. Quantitative scores make up 100% of the final score for the Statewide category, while only 70% of the score for the Regional Impact category and 50% for the Division Needs category. As such, counties and subsequently TARPO, are able to put qualitative points on Regional and Division projects that they deem important. There were no Lee County projects eligible for statewide funding. TARPO's scoring process allows local qualitative points and has requested each county develop a prioritized ranking of up to 10 projects. These prioritized rankings are due to TARPO by May 15, 2018. The LCTC was created last year and is composed of a nine - member board, 2 members from each governing board and a representative from the Raleigh Executive Jetport, the Sanford Area Growth Alliance, and the County of Lee Transit System, to help with this process. The Committee met Wednesday, April 18, 2018 and determined a ranking. Ranking of the projects was based upon immediate need and projects that had higher likelihood of being funded because of their high quantitative scores. Those rankings are as follows: Page 419
