New Business A. 2015 Transportation Planning Process Review Response Mr. Sanders opened discussion regarding staff's response to the recommendations, more specifically Recommendation 5 and 7. Recommendation #5 — The TIP should include a stronger representation of multi -modal projects. Mr. Sanders explained that all multi -modal projects requiring federal funds are included in the TIP.

Ms. McMillan suggested making a section available, as an appendix, for those projects that are locally funded that are not required to be reported in the TIP.

The motion passed unanimously. Recommendation #7 - CAMPO should identify an investment strategy, and resources, dedicated to improving transportation system safety and security. Mr. Sanders explained that an action plan is needed as to how we will address it in our Long Range Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program because it would be tied to performance measures.

Mr. Benz and Mr. Smith commented that every project they do has safety in mind. Mr. Morasch commented that the school system addresses safety issues with School Resource Officers and crossing guards.
