Transportation Planning Director| MoDOT | (573) 526-1374 | www.modot.org September 2017 Missouri’s transportation system safely and reliably connects people with jobs and services, connects businesses with suppliers and customers, moves students to and from school and allows visitors to explore the state’s many destinations. To help make strategic decisions, meet Missouri’s future transportation needs and be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is updating the state’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Transportation Goals The current LRTP includes four goal areas, developed with extensive stakeholder and public input: Preservation: Take care of the transportation system and services we enjoy today. Safety: Keep all travelers safe, no matter what mode of travel. Economic Development: Make investments in the transportation system that spur economic growth and create jobs. Connections and Choices: Give Missourians better transportation choices. 1 2 3 4 For more information on MoDOT’s LRTP update, contact Ben.Reeser@modot.mo.gov or 573-526-0123 We Want to Hear from You! We want to be sure we’re focusing on the needs that are most important to you. Please visit our online survey and let us know if the existing goals should be the focus going forward. We also need your input on transportation priorities. MoDOTLRTP.metroquest.com The online survey should take less than 10 minutes and can be completed from a smartphone or a computer with internet access. If you don’t have a computer at home, visit your local library or MoDOT district office to take the survey. What is a Long Range Transportation Plan? An LRTP sets a 25-year vision for the state’s transportation system. Developing the LRTP is a multi- modal planning effort that looks at the state’s highways and bridges, as well as rail, ports, aviation, transit and bicycle/ pedestrian accommodations. The state’s current LRTP, A Vision for Missouri’s Transportation Future, was completed in 2014 and it’s time for an update. The updated plan will set the vision for transportation in Missouri through 2045. Updating Missouri’s LRTP will include: Reviewing the transportation system goals from the current LRTP, which are used to guide transportation investments. Assessing transportation needs and customer expectations for the next 25 years. Reviewing MoDOT’s existing performance measures for the transportation system. Examining what resources will be available, prioritizing the state’s transportation needs, and updating MoDOT’s financial plan. Exploring trends and innovations in transportation. Looking at how Missouri can begin preparing for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (AV/CV). The LRTP allows MoDOT to assess and address the needs of its customers.

McCarty, Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone 573.634.6410 Fax 573.634.6457 Memorandum TO: CAMPO Board of Directors FROM: Katrina Williams, Transportation Planner DATE: September 15, 2017 SUBJECT: FY2018 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Administrative Modification CAMPO staff recommends an administrative modification to the FY2018 UPWP to accommodate a roll-over of unspent Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds from FY2017. A portion of STP funds (estimated at $7,167) used for staff time and another portion of STP funds ($30,000) that was designated for consulting services has been incorporated into the FY2018 UPWP and budget. The modification will increase the UPWP budget by $30,000, reflective of the consulting services funds. The estimated $7,167 in STP funds used for staff time supplants an equivalent amount of Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) funds. The modification will impact FY2018 local match totals. This will increase the City of Jefferson local match total by $4,500 from $56,731 to $61,231 and will increase the Cole County local match total by $1,500 from $18,910 to $20,410. The Financial Summary in Appendix A provides a breakdown of these amounts. The modification will not impact the CPG between the City of Jefferson and the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission. Attached is the updated FY2018 UPWP. Changes have been made to Work Elements 2 and 3 and the Financial Summary in Appendix A. Staff recommends the Board of Directors start a 7 day public comment period and conditionally approve the modification to the FY2018 UPWP.

Several stakeholder meetings, staff interviews, ride counts, and a public meeting were held in March and a survey was deployed in June and July. The first deliverable, the Existing Conditions Report, has been finalized and released. Below are some highlights of the report: • Ridership numbers, broken down by individual routes, taken over a two day period. • A substantial demographic breakdown of the City of Jefferson and comparisons to other Missouri communities of similar size. • Peer system review. Working with JEFFTRAN, the consultant made comparisons with five other public transportation peer systems. A number of factors were looked at in these comparisons, including; farebox recovery (farebox revenue as a percentage of operating cost), passenger trips per revenue hour , and passenger trips per capita for both fixed route and demand response (Handi-Wheels). • A SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis was performed to evaluate the system in a comprehensive manner that offers an accurate view of the issues that currently influence JEFFTRAN. • A public survey was administered to gather feedback on possible service expansion. 441 responses were returned, indicating that weekend service, followed by evening service, were the most desired service expansions respondents were looking for. Expansion of service to Holts Summit was also expressed by survey respondents. The Existing Conditions Report is available for review on the CAMPO website: http://www.jeffersoncitymo.gov/CAMPO/Existing%20Conditions%20Report%20- %20Final%20Draft.pdf. A public meeting is planned for October 17 in the Boone-Bancroft Room in City Hall, 320 E. McCarty St, Jefferson City, MO 65101. The final assessment is expected in late October.

The Application was submitted on August 17. The League of American Bicyclists has sent an accompanying survey; please consider taking it (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BFC_FA17_JeffersonCityMO). The results will be made available in November. • Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan. This plan identifies the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes.
