Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Technical Committee

Mr. Sanders commented that the following MAP -21 National Objective does not necessarily apply to
CAMPO: Encourage the continued improvement and evolution of the metropolitan and statewide
transportation planning processes by metropolitan planning organizations, State departments of
transportation, and public transit operators as guided by the eight planning factors.
Mr. Latuszek stressed the importance of addressing the eight planning factors in the transportation planning
process; and urged the Technical Committee to consider MAP -21 National Goals and Performance Measures
in the trensportation planning process, and during the MTP update.
Mr. Momsch explained that Public Works projects fall into the following categories: (1) reduce congestion
and improve safety; (2) support activities that promote economic development; and (3) support activities for
non -motorized transportation.
Mr. Lynch commented that we need to reconsider our attitudes towards other modes of transportation. He
explained that one example is that the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce is interested in establishing
a river port. Mr. Lynch stated that planning for the transportation system needs to encompass all modes of
transportation mujust roads and bridges.
Mr. Morasch commented that the use of rail should be encouraged to promote economic development. He
explained that the City participated in a mil crossing at A1goa Road, as well as, a storm water project in
support of the railroad on Industrial Drive for RR Donnelly & Company.
After additional discussion, the Technical Committee identified the vision of enhancing regional quality of
life, and the main or primary goal of a healthy community and economic growth. Discussion on an
appropriate set of objectives produced five objectives: (1) improve safety and reduce accidents; (2) reduce
congestion and improve system efficiency; (3) support activities for continued economic development; (4)
support activities for non -motorized transportation such as bicycle and pedestrian; and (5) improve freight
and system wide intermodal transportation.
Mr. Momsch suggested that maintaining the travel demand model should also be a goal. Mr. Morrison
suggested using that as a strategy.
After additional discussion the Technical Committee supported Mr. Benz's suggestion of adopting the
following as the main vision: "improving and maintaining quality of life".
