CAMPO Technical Committee Staff Report Traffic Crash Analysis Report 2020 October 1, 2020 Summary Staff has a prepared report on crash statistics as they relate to major intersections and thoroughfares that are currently included in the CAMPO Illustrative List. See the attached report for more detail. Agenda Item 6A Page | 1 Traffic Crash Analysis 2019 Introduction This Traffic Crash Analysis is designed to provide an overview of the crash data for the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). It focuses specifically on the number of crashes that have occurred overall and in specific areas that have resulted in significant property damage, injury, or death. Data was provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), with the assistance of the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) for traffic incidents in the CAMPO region from 2013-2017. This Traffic Crash Analysis is intended to be used internally by CAMPO planners to identify and address areas of safety concerns. Accident Analysis From 2013 to 2017 there were 7738 accidents within the CAMPO region. Of those 7738 accidents, 1954 of them resulted in both minor and serious injuries, and 34 resulted in fatalities. The fatality ratio for the CAMPO region is well below the national rate of 0.67%, with only 0.44% of all accidents in the CAMPO region resulting in a fatality. To reduce that number of fatalities to 0, we need to look at specific areas that may be of concern. Through statistical analysis of the available data we will be able to make more informed decisions, seek out hot spot locations, and find real solutions to get CAMPO and MoDOT to that zero fatality goal. The table below looks at the number of accidents per year. We see an outlier in 2016 where accident numbers spiked in the CAMPO region, then leveled out afterwards. The Missouri State Highway Patrol contributed the larger number of traffic accidents in 2016 to the drop in fuel prices that happened the same year increasing the amount of travel people did in 2016. Page | 2 When we look at the Fatalities per year we see that the number was climbing till 2015 then leveled out. From 2016 to 2017 we see a 25% decrease in fatalities. The MoDOT statewide safety targets show that they want to see a 13% decrease in fatalities. CAMPO supports these targets and likes to see numbers region wide to be in line with the statewide targets. MoDOT set a fatality rate goal of just over 1 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. That is a statewide target that includes long stretches of rural roads. CAMPO is a small area with a lot less vehicle miles traveled, so CAMPO saw a fatality rate of 285 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. That is much higher than the statewide average due to the fact that we are a small MPO any change in numbers makes a drastic change in rates and percentages. The following is a look at the Severe or Serious injuries per year. From 2013 to 2017 we have seen that number fall from 76 serious injuries to just 42. That is a 45% reduction is severe injuries in a 5 year span. From 2016 to 2017 CAMPO only saw a 6.7% decrease in serious injuries. MoDOT set a statewide safety target of 8% decrease per year. Also MoDOT set a serious injury rate of just under 6 severe injuries per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Again because CAMPO is a small area our rate is just under 2000 per 100 million miles traveled, much higher than the statewide rate. Page | 3 Page | 4 There are 17 crash type categories that incidents are placed into when reported. In the CAMPO region the most common crash type is the rear end collision, with 2257 accidents making up almost 30% of all accidents in the region. Out of Control crashes are the second most reported crash type in the CAMPO area with 1427 accidents and making up 18% of all accidents in the region. Other classifications include pedestrians, pedal-cycles, and other animals just to name a few. Page | 5 As was established by the previous graph, the majority of accidents are rear end collisions, resulting in injury almost 25% of the time and make up about 28% of all injuries in the area. Then numbers that jump out at you are the pedestrian and pedal-cycle both result in injury over 90% of the time and make up just over 4% of all injuries in the region. Luckily we only had 1 fatality in that 5 year span. * Injury % of Type indicates the percentage that the total number of accidents of that type of crash resulted in injury. * Injury % of Total indicates the percentage of injuries of that type of crash by the total number of injuries in the region.

That’s not to say that bad accidents don’t happen in the outer communities within the CAMPO area such as Holts Summit, St. Martins, Taos, and Wardsville. It is worth noting that a little over half of the fatalities in the region occurred on US 50 or US 54 outside the city limits. With Jefferson City hosting the bulk of the area’s residents and a major producer of employment it is understandable that the large quantities of travelers within city limits result in such a high rate of accidents of all types for the region. Below is a map depicting the various crash types clustered throughout the city. Page | 7 To search out the hotspots with higher rates of accidents each accident within the city was assigned to the segment of road it occurred on. Once that is done we could take each section and classify them to figure out what section has the most accidents in it. As you can see in the map below it really highlights sections of road that we need to look at, such as sections of Missouri Blvd, the Missouri River Bridge, and US 50/63. Page | 8 After looking at that map it still leaves a lot of questions that need to be answered. One being that every stretch of road is of a different length. To more evenly weight longer segments of roads to shorter segments of roads the accidents were calculated to an accident per foot ratio which tells a little different crash story in some areas. This analysis highlighted a few more areas to look at like Truman Blvd, Ellis/54, Jefferson/54, and the Tri-level. Page | 9 When combining the different analysis we found 9 areas of concern that we need to focus on more were highlighted. These 9 areas host the most congestion and highest traffic counts inside the CAMPO region. While these 9 areas make up less than 5% of total miles inside the CAMPO region, they have more than 41% of the total accidents in the region.

The Bridge The bridge over the Missouri River is the convergence of major highways US 54 and US 63. It is one of the most congested roads in our area because it is one of the few Missouri River crossings in Central Missouri, and separates Jefferson City from everything to the north. Traffic counts on the bridge show just over 53000 cars cross the bridge on a daily basis. From 2013 to 2017, 352 accidents took place on the Missouri River Bridge. This comes out to 4.56% of all accidents in the CAMPO area for less than 2 miles of road. Due to the accidents and the congestion on the bridge, it becomes our main area of focus and is number one on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Page | 11 The data of the accidents on the bridge shows that most accidents and injuries that happen are due to speed or rear end collisions. As number one in our system performance projects list, we look at MoDOT to construct direct connector for northbound to westbound movement to improve capacity and to widen US 54/63 to provide three continuous lanes in each direction as well as additional acceleration and deceleration lanes. Dispersing vehicles across more lanes should decrease congestion and as a result should decrease the chances of accidents.

US 50/63, US 54 to Lafayette Street The second area of concern is US 50/63 from US 54 to Lafayette Street. We see that 7.4% of all accidents inside of the CAMPO region happen on this few mile stretch of road. This single stretch of road serves as a converging point for 2 major highways, US 50 and US 63, with several stop lights that prevent smooth continuous movement through this segment that boasts an average daily traffic count of 43000 vehicles. Congestion from the series of traffic signals, and a high traffic count, factor into why this section has such a high rate of crash incidents, leading to why it is number 2 priority on our Illustrative Projects list. US 50/63, US 54 to Lafayette St Accidents Page | 13 While the majority of crashes are rear end crashes the most concerning numbers are the right angle and left turn collisions. Both have higher injury numbers and high injury rates. Because of the laws of physics we know that accidents get increasingly dangerous at higher speeds (more energy), quicker stops (dispersing energy), and sharp angles (opposing energies). Right angle and left turn collisions tend to be sharp angle accidents and because of that are more dangerous. Another big concern is the pedestrian accidents. Every time there is a vehicle hitting a person it almost always results in some sort of injury. With as much traffic as there is on this road having pedestrians cross the road is always dangerous. Through cooperation with MoDOT we look to implement major capacity improvements, which could include mainline widening, grade separations, and/or outer roads. That should improve some of the congestion in this area. Due to money constraints it is hard to come up with a fix all solution in this area.

When we ran this analysis two intersections stood out. The intersection of US 50/63 and Missouri Blvd has had over 100 accidents in the 5 year span. Second is the intersection of US 50/63 and Madison Street. That intersection has had over 50 accidents in the 5 year span. We may need to look at these intersections a little closer in the future to determine what makes them more dangerous than others and to find any possible solutions. Page | 15 3. The Tri-Level The third area we want to look at is the Tri-Level. This intersection complex is the convergence of 3 major highways, US 50, 63, and 54. Nearly 80,000 vehicles travel through this interchange on a daily basis. This is the largest traffic count totals for one area in the entire CAMPO region. This segment accounts for 3% of all accidents. Accidents and slowdowns in the vicinity of the Tri-level lead to compounding congestion and backups throughout the rest of the city as travelers sit and wait for traffic to start moving again, or others detour into other parts of town onto roads with less capacity in an attempt to avoid or go around the trouble zone. Page | 16 When looking at the numbers of all accidents that happened in the Tri-Level interchange we can see that the majority of accidents are rear end collisions. While crash totals may not be as high on the Tri-level as other places, it’s impossible to ignore how important accident reduction is for this area. Over a 5 year span 7 accidents resulted in serious injury. One of those injured included a pedestrian. Current design conditions on the Tri-level force travelers to navigate merging and lane crossing for exits in a tight space that can be confusing and distracting for drivers. In the Illustrative Projects list MoDOT has indicated this same issue. The project proposes to reconfigure the interchange to provide non-conflicting system-to-system movement. This complete reconfiguration of the interchange would help improve congestion not only in the Tri-Level but on the highways and several outer roads in the area.

Missouri Blvd, Stoneridge Pkwy to US 50 Because Missouri Blvd is a long stretch of road we split it into two sections. First we are going to look at the east section that runs from Stoneridge Pkwy to US 50. This is one of the most congested business and retail sections in the CAMPO region. This section of Missouri Blvd receives around 46000 vehicles on a daily basis. Just fewer than 12% of all accidents in the CAMPO region happen in this several mile stretch of road and over our 5 year span this segment saw 3 fatalities. Due to the dangerous nature of this stretch of road it shows up as number 26 on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects System Performance list. Page | 18 When we look at the numbers we see that most of the accidents in this stretch of road are rear end collisions, like most areas in Jefferson City, and left turn collisions. Of the 927 accidents over 60% of all injuries in these accidents happen because of those types of accidents. Left turn accidents alone result in almost half of all the serious injuries on Missouri Blvd. Another concern on this part of the road is pedestrian accidents, 6 accidents, 4 of which were serious injuries, and 1 resulting in a fatality over our 5 year period of interest. These accidents took place before the latest construction of sidewalks along this stretch. This project is just a tier 2 project on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. With MoDOT’s cooperation, the project looks to improve access management along Missouri Blvd, including improvements to intersection, restrictions to turning movements, and improvements to pedestrian safety. Accomplishing this project in a cost effective manner without hurting businesses in the area while improving safety will be a challenge that will require many levels of partnerships to be formed. * indicates a fatality in that type of crash.

By assigning the accidents to a section of road we can see that 2 sections are highlighted by this analysis. The first area of interest is between Stadium Blvd and Heisinger Rd. This area has several large businesses in that area resulting in a lot of vehicles pulling in and out of parking lots. Knowing that there are no stop lights between Stadium Blvd and Dix Rd, you can see how turning across traffic into one of these businesses without a break in traffic is a challenge. The second section of concern is between Dunklin Rd and US 50/63. Most of these accidents assigned to this section happened in the intersection of Missouri Blvd and US 50/63, and was covered in a previous section. Page | 20 To paint a more thorough picture, we wanted to see how many accidents per foot happened on this section of road. This shows that there are sections of road that accidents happen every 15 feet or less. First we see a section again around Heisinger Rd and, as stated by the previous analysis, we know that that section lacks stop lights to break up the traffic and allows access for people turning in and out of area businesses. The second section is from Dix Rd east through the light at Southwest Blvd in front of a large grocery store. That area again has a lot of larger businesses in the area with people turning in and out of parking lots. This section however has lights to create traffic breaks, but results in more rear end collisions at those lights. The last section is from Kansas St to US 50/63. This section has several lights that stop traffic and result in the majority of accidents happening at these intersections, most of which are rear end collisions. Page | 21 When we look at the intersections in this stretch of Missouri Blvd we see a few that stand out. First is the intersection of Missouri Blvd and US 50/63. We talked about that several times before and know that it is a problem intersection to look at. The next intersection that stands out is Dix Rd and Missouri Blvd. As one of the few connectors that allow traffic to flow to and from US 50, the intersection of Dix Rd. and Missouri Blvd sees a lot of travelers on a daily basis and boasts accident numbers to match. Rear end collisions go up at stop lights, so when you see an intersection without a stop light having elevated numbers it raises some questions. Looking at Blair Dr. we see that there are 2 larger fast food restaurants at that intersection, but no stop light. We will look at it in a little more detail in the maps below. Page | 22 Missouri Blvd Cont. In the maps below, it shows where each accident happened along Missouri Blvd starting at the intersection of US 50/63 and moving east till we get to Stoneridge. The First map you can see the section that we discussed earlier between US 50/63 and Dunklin Rd shows the majority of the accidents taking place at the intersection of US 50/63, and the majority of those are rear end collisions as indicated in green. Page | 23 As we move down the Blvd we see that several different kinds of accidents happen but don’t seem to be clustered in this section. Page | 24 In this section of Missouri Blvd we start to see clusters. First is the cluster in front of the local McDonalds. Most of the wrecks are turning accidents either in or out of the parking lot. That includes one fatality. The second cluster is around Southwest Blvd intersection. There are several large businesses in that area with accidents mainly rear end collisions, but several left turn collisions as well, including 2 fatal accidents in this cluster. Page | 25 The next section we see a large cluster of several types of accidents around the Dix Rd intersection. This includes rear end collisions, turning collisions, right angle collisions, and several others that result in injuries. But we also see the clusters around Blair Dr. and Heisinger Rd. Again we see a lot of rear end and turning collisions. With no lights in this area it can be difficult to safely turn across traffic. Page | 26 As we travel farther down Missouri Blvd towards Stadium we see several more turning accidents in and out of parking lots along this stretch. Page | 27 Slowly we see the volume of accidents dissipate as we get closer to Stoneridge Pkwy. Page | 28 5. Missouri Blvd, Country Club Dr to Stoneridge Pkwy Fifth on our list of area of concerns is Missouri Blvd from Country Club Dr. to Stoneridge Pkwy. This section of road contains several large businesses as well as a few auto dealerships and one major highway interchange. This section of Missouri Blvd sees just over 33000 vehicles daily. With that type of traffic volume through this area it is easy to see why 5.6% of all accidents in the CAMPO region happen in this stretch of Missouri Blvd. Because of the known issues on this section of road it also shows up in CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. Page | 29 When we look a little deeper at the statistics of the accidents on this stretch of Missouri Blvd we see a few things that stick out. Like every other area in the CAMPO region rear end collisions are the highest number of collisions. We also see that several accidents are left turn collisions. As we talked about before we know that this type of wreck is dangerous because of the angles of the collisions. This is a concern for all of Missouri Blvd. This area also sees high numbers of out of control accidents and head on collisions. The known issues on this section of road brings 2 projects to CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects System Performance list. First shows up as number 7, which is on Missouri Blvd, the eastern Lowe’s entrance to S. 10 Mile Dr. The project looks to address access management along the corridor, including turn restrictions, additional traffic control, and safety along that stretch of road. The second shows up as number 22 on that list. It proposes a project on Missouri Blvd from Country Club Dr. to Howerton Ct. to widen the road to 5 lanes that will include a right turn lane at Howerton Ct. Both projects should really help with the safety by reducing the number of left turn collisions. The second project in particular should help reduce the number of out of control and head on accidents.

Jefferson St. and 54 Hwy The 6th area of concern is intersections of Jefferson St, Stadium Blvd, Christy Dr., and US 54. If you have ever driven through this area you know it is a confusing group of intersections and short runout lanes onto a major highway. With just under 40000 vehicles going through this area on US 54 per day and about 8000 vehicles per intersection it isn’t hard to see why this is an area of concern. We see about 2.6% of all the accidents that happen in the CAMPO region happen in this complex of intersection. Again this is a known issue area and that is why it shows up on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. Page | 31 When we look into the accidents that happen in this area we see some different numbers than what we see in most of the CAMPO region. First we see most of the accidents are out of control accidents. That tends to be more speed related. With the small acceleration and deceleration lanes on and off of US 54, the disparity of speeds it creates an environment for accidents. With 1 roundabout already having been installed in this complex of intersections it raises the question if that is why we see rear end collision rates dropping due to less flow interruption. In CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list, with MoDOT’s help, project number 9 proposes installing roundabouts at both hook ramp intersections to improve operations and address offsets and angles of these roads. Logic says that should help with some of these wrecks. It does not change the small runout lanes on and off of US 54 but does keep from stopping traffic on these ramps. This may still be an issue that we need to look at in the future to address the rest of the issues with this group of intersections.

Ellis Blvd and 54 Hwy The 7th area of concern is the Ellis Blvd and US 54 interchange. This area sees about 40000 vehicles on US 54 through this interchange and around 20000 vehicles on Ellis Blvd through these intersections. Congestion issues at this interchange results in about 2.9% of all crashes in the CAMPO region. For anyone who travels this area, the grouping of lights through this interchange slows traffic flow particularly during rush hour times. Again because this is a known issue area it shows up on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. Page | 33 When we dig into the numbers at the Ellis Blvd interchange we see another surprising issue. Left turn accidents happen more often than rear end collisions. Left turn accidents are dangerous because of the angles that happen in the collision. This dangerous collision type has resulted in a fatality wreck in this interchange. Knowing that there are several larger businesses in this stretch of road gives insight into why there are so many vehicles that cross traffic resulting in wrecks. As was indicated earlier, this area is a known issue and with MoDOT’s help, it shows up in CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list as number 13. The project proposes a reconfiguration of the interchange to address capacity and close spacing of outer roads and create pedestrian connections on Southwest Blvd and Ellis Blvd from Ford St to Southridge Dr. This should help with the congestion in the interchange but it may need to look at addressing the turning across traffic issue.

US 50/Dix Rd The 8th area of concern is the US 50/Dix Rd interchange. This interchange accounts for 1.5% of all crashes in the CAMPO region. The biggest concern with this interchange is that whatever happens in this interchange causes congestion on a major highway in the city and on a principal artery for the city, that being US 50 and Missouri Blvd. Around 40000 vehicles cross this area on US 50 every day. About 13000 vehicles cross this interchange on Dix Rd each day. With that much volume in the area it is easy to see why it is an issue with congestion every time something happens. Just like all the other areas of concern, this area is a known issue to MoDOT as well as CAMPO. And just like the other areas it shows up in CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. Page | 36 When we dive into the numbers we see like so many other areas in the CAMPO region most of the accidents are rear end collisions. Because of the volume of traffic and the setup of the intersection we see a lot of right angle collisions as well. As discussed earlier any time you have hard angle collisions the seriousness and likelihood of injuries goes up. Because this is a known issue area it shows up as number 5 on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects System Performance list. The project proposes reconfiguring interchange and Dix Rd approaches to address capacity issues including lack of left-turn lanes, possibly consider a dumbbell roundabout interchange, as well as widening Dix Rd to provide center turn lane and pedestrian access from US 50 to Missouri Blvd. This project should be exactly what was needed for any safety issues in this interchange.

Truman Blvd and Hwy 50 The 9th and final area of concern is the area of Truman Blvd, US 50, and Country Club Dr. This complex of intersections makes up just over 2% of all accidents in the CAMPO region. Around 20000 people a day use Truman Blvd through these intersections. Some improvements have already been made to this area but more safety improvements are needed. Any issue in this interchange not only blocks access too many large businesses in the area but it can also back up traffic causing congestion on US 50. It is a known issue like all the other areas of concern, and like them does show up on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. Page | 38 When we look at the numbers from the crashes we see 160 accidents over the 5 year period. Over half of the accidents being rear end collisions. Another major concern is left turn accidents. With as much congestion in the area as this road has it is not hard to figure out why there are as many left turn accidents as there are. Congestion makes it difficult to turn across traffic. This area shows up as number 17 on CAMPO’s Illustrative Projects list. The project proposes reconfiguring the interchange to address close outer road spacing, widening the westbound off-ramp to improve capacity, and incorporate pedestrian facilities into the interchange. This project should help reduce the congestion and the number of accidents in the area.

Page | 40 Summary In conclusion we understand that accidents happen, but as members of CAMPO we have to look at areas and ways to better create a safe travel environment for ourselves, our families, and everyone traveling through the CAMPO region. While a zero death goal for all Missouri roads is important, it’s not enough to only focus on areas of fatalities. A safer, accident free, road system requires us to broaden our definition of accident to all types and level of crashes when analyzing the data for projects. Through geospatial analysis we have focused on 9 areas that make up 41% of all accidents in the CAMPO region. With help from MoDOT and Jefferson City Public Works we can look into the proposed projects to address these safety concerns that we brought up in this report. So the city, the state, and the region have a long ways to go to make the roads safe but if we address what we can and work with MoDOT to reach the statewide safety targets we could be a lot closer to having a safer road system.

CAMPO Technical Committee Staff Report Voting Procedure Analysis 2020 October 1, 2020 Summary Staff has a prepared report on voting procedures for the CAMPO Board of Directors. The CAMPO Board of Directors requested a report on the voting procedures. See the attached report for more detail. Agenda Item 6B Page | 1 Voting Procedure Analysis 2020 Introduction In 2019, board members of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) requested staff to review the voting procedures used by the CAMPO Board of Directors. The request was to review current procedures and potential alternative procedures that other Metropolitan Planning Organizations may be using to help address the disbursement of voting powers in different jurisdictions. All metropolitan planning organizations are required by 23 Code of Federal Regulation Part 450.306(i) to establish policy boards with appropriate representation from local elected officials, public transportation agency officials and state officials. CAMPO Voting Procedures The current CAMPO Board of Directors membership and voting procedures are dictated by the CAMPO Bylaws as well as the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Transportation Planning approved on April 15, 2015. In section 3 of the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Transportation Planning, it states that there shall be 13 voting members on the Board of Directors, comprised as follows: 1. City of Jefferson: Seven (7) voting members shall be appointed by the City of Jefferson to represent the City of Jefferson. Members shall be comprised of four (4) elected officials (e.g. Mayor, or City Council Members) and three (3) department director level staff with transportation related responsibilities (e.g. administration, planning, transit, public works, parks & recreation). 2. Cole County: Three (3) voting members shall be appointed by Cole County to represent the County of Cole. The members shall be comprised of one County Commissioner, one small city representative and one other elected or appointed representative filled at the County’s discretion. 3. Callaway County: One (1) voting member shall be appointed by Callaway County to represent the County of Callaway. The member shall be a County Commissioner or an elected or appointed representative filled at the County’s discretion. 4. Missouri Department of Transportation: One (1) voting member shall represent the Central District of the Missouri Department of Transportation. 5. Holts Summit: One (1) voting member shall be appointed by the City of Holts Summit to represent the City of Holts Summit. Page | 2 These 13 voting members have to follow Robert’s Rules of Order as indicated in Section 16.6 of the CAMPO Bylaws. That indicates that any vote first has to have an initial motion followed by a second. The Chairman restates the motion opening it up for discussion. Once the discussion is complete then there is a vote. After the vote the Chairman announces the results. If the vote is not unanimous then there is a follow up roll call vote, as indicated in Section 16.7 of the CAMPO Bylaws. This is where the review of a split vote and how we can have a non-bias vote is important. With Jefferson City having 7 of the 13 votes, if the votes always stick together they will always have a majority. The first question comes from the Federal Code, is this “appropriate representation”? In the United States the most common voting system is the Electoral System that assigns votes to entities or jurisdictions based upon population. As of the last census, the population of the CAMPO region was 71,347 people. Jefferson City is the largest city in the CAMPO region and holds a population of 43,203 based on the last census data, meaning that Jefferson City hold 60% of the population within the CAMPO Region. Jefferson City holds 7 of the 13 votes which mean that they hold 54% of the voting power. Is this a common occurrence among other MPO’s? Other MPO Voting Procedures The first MPO we reviewed that is similar in size to CAMPO is the Joplin Area Transportation Study Organization (JATSO). The last census showed the population of the JATSO region was 84,807, with the city of Joplin having a population of 50,906. Similar to Jefferson City, Joplin holds 60% of the population of JATSO. The JATSO Policy Board has a total of 12 voting members and the city of Joplin holds 6 of the 12 voting members, meaning Joplin holds 50% of the voting power of JATSO. They hold neither a majority, nor a minority. The next MPO we look at is the Southeast Metropolitan Planning Organization (SEMPO) located in Cape Girardeau. The population of the SEMPO region according to the last census was 59,448. The parent city of the SEMPO region, Cape Girardeau holds a population of 38,110. The city of Cape Girardeau holds 64% of the population of the SEMPO region. On the SEMPO Board of Directors there are 7 voting members. The City of Cape Girardeau holds only 2 of the 7 voting members, giving the city only 29% of the voting power. The list goes on and on. But most MPOs fall in line with how CAMPO and our parent city set up our votes. Most MPOs where the parent city holds more than 50% of the region’s population they also hold 50% or better of the voting power. This falls in line with the common interpretation of the federal code for “appropriate representation” in a democratic voting society. Types of Voting Systems Now that we understand the voting procedures we next need to understand the voting system. Page | 3 1. The most common voting system in the United States is “First Past the Post” or “Winner Takes All.” In this system, all candidates, objects, or issues start on an equal level and the candidate, object, or issue that receives the most votes wins. This gives every vote equal weight. In this system each voting member casts just one vote. CAMPO uses this voting system when voting in new members or voting for the chair and vice chair. 2. The second voting system to look at is a “Single Transferable Vote”, or what is commonly called a “Ranked Choice Voting System.” In this style of voting the voting members are given a list of candidates, objects, or issues and each voting member is given the task to rank this list from most favorable to least favorable. In the end the candidate, object, or issue with the most number one votes is considered the winner. CAMPO uses this voting system when ranking projects to bring forth to MoDOT for grant money like for TAP or TEAP grants. 3. The next voting system we will look at is a “Two Round System.” This system works like “Winner Takes All” in the first round. Multiple candidates, objects, or issues are brought before a voting membership and voted on. If one candidate, object, or issue receives more than 50% of the votes then it is “Winner Takes All.” If they do not receive more than 50% of the vote than the top 2 candidates, objects, or issues move to a second round where there is a revote for just the top 2. Then a winner is decided by who receives the most votes. There are several more voting systems in place around the world but none of which apply to what we deal with in the CAMPO region. When we look at MoDOT, Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs), and other MPOs, when it comes to grants and projects, everyone uses the “Ranked Choice Voting System” as CAMPO does. It would be prudent to keep following that same system. Scoring Rubrics We next need to look at the scoring rubrics that are used in a “Ranked Choice Voting System.” We use the “Ranked Choice Voting System” because we have more than one project most of the time and some of the time more than one project has the ability to get funded. We must know in what order we rank these projects for our top priority to get funded. To find out how to rank these projects we use a scoring rubric. The funding for these projects is highly competitive and we have to compete with other MPOs and RPCs to get projects selected for a limited pool of funding. Since all projects cannot be funded, one entity gets to decide who gets funded or not, that role falls to MoDOT. To do this MoDOT sends provides a scoring rubric to score these projects at a local level first (see example below). Page | 4 Some local MPOs and RPCs provide their Board of Directors their own scoring rubrics for the boards to rank the projects easier (see example below). Others just rank their projects 1, 2, 3, and 4 and turn that into MoDOT. These options would be at the digression of the CAMPO Board of Directors.

In figure 5.11 taken from CAMPOs MTP, we can see all the projects that have been awarded federal funding since 2013. We see that 8 projects have been awarded to Jefferson City totaling $2,905,630, 4 to Holts Summit totaling $1,011,730, 3 to St. Martins totaling $1,010,056, 1 to Cole County for $707,000, and 1 to the Osage Region Trail Association for $49,282, with regional funding totaling $5,683,698. This shows Jefferson City has been awarded 47% of all the projects and 51% of all the total funding. Page | 7 Conclusion In conclusion, we can see that with accordance to the federal code that CAMPO does have “appropriate representation” among the voting members. Also CAMPO follows the appropriate voting methods in accordance to MoDOT as well as other MPOs. CAMPO also has a relatively fair disbursement of federal funds for local jurisdictions. Although some jurisdictions have not received any project funding, it may be something we look to change in the future.
