Background
The capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization was designated by the Governor of Missouri as the metropolitan
planning organization for the Jefferson City urbanized area on May 7, 2003. Thi s desig nation allows the Cap ital Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) to be the recipient of metropolitan planning funds from both the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) and th e Federa l Transit Administration (FTA) of the US Department of
Transportation.
Metropolitan planning funds from FHWA are Metropolitan Planning (PL) funds and those from FTA are referred to as
Section 5303 funds. The two funds are combined into a consolidated planning grant for the MPO and are
administered through the Mi ssouri Department of Tran sportation. Since these funds are consoli dated, they are not
identified separately by work task w ithin thi s document. Federal funds shown for fi sca l year 2006 are estimates, and
are based on the best available information.
The Metropolitan Plann ing Organization is com pri sed of a Technical Committee composed of technical and planning
staff from local, State, and Federa l agen cies of the MPO membershi p, and a Board of Directors composed of elected
officials from a geographica l area that includes portions of Co le and callaway Counties, the Cities of Jefferson and
Holts Summit, and the towns of St. Martins and Lake Mykee, all within the State of Mi ssou ri.
Officers to the Techn ica l Committee and the Board of Directors are elected ann ually, and any member of the
respective committee may se rve .
The CAMPO memorandum of understan ding identifies the City of Jefferson as the MPO administrator, and as such,
prov ides staffi ng for CAMPO.
Financial Support for the MPO
Based on the Memorandum of Understanding, financia l obligation to support the MPO cons ists of 80% Federa l
funding t hrough the Consolidated Planning Gra nt, composed of FHWA PL funds and FTA 5303 planning f und s, and
20% in local funding. The participants providing the local f un ding are callaway County, Cole County and Jefferson
City.
Jefferson City provides 60% of t he local funding, Cole County provides 25% of the local funding and Callaway County
provides 15%.
The Purpose of the UPWP
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) outlines a yearly program of transportation planning activities and
stud ies to be funded by federal metropolitan planning and local funds and serves as the basis for funding agreements
w ith the Missouri Depa rtment of Transportation (MoDOT). It also serves as a management tool for sched uling ,
budgeting and monitoring the planning activities of the participating agencies and governments related to
transportation planning for the area.
In developing a pla nning work program, TEA-21 r equires t he MPO to provide for co nsidera tion of projects and
strategies that will accompli sh the objectives of 7 "Pl anning Factors". T he foll owi ng section ide ntifies the Planning
Factors of TEA-21.
The TEA-21 Planning Factors
Under TEA-21, seven planning factors were to be considered during the deve lopment of any MPO plan. For SAFETEA-
LU, eig ht factors are now to be considered. T hese eight items are:
• Sup port the economic vita lity of th e metropolitan area, especially by enablin g global com peti tiveness,
productivity, and efficiency;
• Increasing the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users;
• Increase the security of the transportation system for motorize d and non-motorized users;
• Increase the accessib ili ty and mobi lity options ava ilab le to people and for freight;
• Protect and enhance the environment, promoting energy conservation, and improve the quality of life, and
promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and loca l planned growth and economic
development patterns;
2
• Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, f or peop le
and freight;
• Promote efficient system management and operation; and
• Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system .
Planning Emphasis Areas for FY 2006
The FTA and FHWA have identified Planning Emphasis Areas (PEAs) to promote priority themes for consideration in
metropolitan transportation planning processes. For this fiscal year, six key planning themes have been identified,
and CAM PO will give consideration to these PEAs in administration of the 2006 UPWP .
1. Consideration of safety and security in the transportation planning process;
2 . Linkage of the planning and NEPA processes;
3. Consideration of management and operations with in planning processes;
4. State DOT consu ltation with non-metropolita n local officials;
5. Enhancing the technical capacity of planning processes;
6 . Coordination of human services transportation.
