6. New Business
A. Proposed Amendment #1 to the 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP):
JEFFTRAN Improvement Projects
Mr. Bowden gave a short presentation and explained that staff is seeking a recommendation from the
Technical Committee to the Board of Directors to approve an amendment to the 2020 -2024 Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). The amendment includes the addition of seven JEFFTRAN projects and
adjustments JEFFTAN’s portion of the Financial Plan section, which outlines forecasted revenue,
expenditures, and programmed funding.
He added that the projects total $520,128 and are funded at 80% through the FTA 5339 Bus and Bus
Facilities Formula Grant. The projects, listed on the following pages, will be completed in program years
2020 through 2022. The TIP Project Application forms a re also attached for your review.
Mr. Mehmert briefly spoke on what items within Transit would benefit from the amendment.
Mr. Morasch made a motion to open a seven day public comment period and forward the proposed
amendment the Board of Directors for approval. Mr. Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
B. Reallocation of remaining Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds
Ms. Williams explained that CAMPO has a remaining STBG balance of approximately $29,588.55. This
balance stems from two STBG funded projects that were completed under budget. The Clark Avenue
Traffic Study was completed $11,691.80 under budget and the Travel Demand Modeling and Visioning
Services Contract was completed $17,866.75 under budget.
She added that reallocation of the funds must be completed by the end of August, or returned to MoDOT.
Staff only identified one project, the City of St. Martins 2018 TAP project that would be practical for the
reallocation. The City of St. Martins was awarded a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant in
2018 totaling $873,529.75 to improve ADA compliance and Pedestrian/Bicycle access along Business 50
West. The STBG funds could be used to reduce the local match for S t. Martins. The TAP project currently
has a local match 55% ($476,073.71) which could be reduced to 51% through the use of STBG funds. She
stated that if it is decided to give the funds to St. Martins, this will result in a staff led administrative
modification of the project in the Transportation Improvement Program.
Mr. Morasch made a motion to reallocate the remaining STBG fund balance to the City of St. Martins for
use in completing the awarded 2018 TAP Project. Mr. Smith seconded the motion, the motion passed
unanimously.
