Council.
B. Federal Performance Measures
Mr. Barron stated MPO’s are required to establish performance targets under the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. MPO’s have three options to choose from: to

the State of Missouri/MoDOT’s targets, or a mix of supporting state targets in certain categories
and developing CAMPO’s own targets on others. Staff is proposing to support the statewide
targets adopted by MoDOT in the categories of Safety, Bridge/Pavement , and System
Performance. Most small area MPO’s vote to support the state targets, which is what CAMPO
has also done in the past.

CAMPO Technical Committee Staff Report
Transportation Alternative Program Grant Rankings
February 2, 2023
Summary
CAMPO is required to review and rank applications for funding through the Transportation Alternative
Program (TAP) that are located within the CAMPO planning area. Four applications within the CAMPO
area were received by Central District MoDOT for this funding round. Staff are requesting review of the
applications by the Technical Committee and ranking recommendation to the Board of Directors.
Timeline
Rankings are due to Central District MoDOT by February 21.
Project Submittals within CAMPO Area See attached abbreviated applications and visuals.
- Rainbow Drive Sidewalk (Cole County) – This project involves construction of 3,000 feet of
sidewalk along Rainbow Drive (from Hunters Run to Terra Bella) near Pioneer Trails Elementary
School. This would be an extension of existing sidewalk in the area. Project Cost is $721,000
with 31% match proposed.
- Falcon Lane Pedestrian Improvements (Wardsville) – This project involves construction of 1,400
feet of sidewalk along Falcon Lane to connect school buildings and parking areas to the athletic
complex at the Blair Oaks School Campus. Project Cost is $494,900 with 20% match proposed.
- Boggs Creek Greenway (Jefferson City) – This project involves construction of 2,700 feet of
multi-use trail (greenway) to connect Riverside Park to St. Louis Road, including bridge over
Boggs Creek. Project Cost is $959,703 with 48% match proposed.
- Stadium and Satinwood Pedestrian Improvements (Jefferson City) – Project involves construction
of 1,765 feet of 10’ wide multi-use trail and 1,170 feet of sidewalk around a new
Satinwood/Stadium roundabout style intersection. Project Cost is $627,645 with 20% match
proposed.
Ranking Criteria (per MoDOT TAP process)
Within the MoDOT review process, applications are analyzed based on a points system in the following
areas:
Category Points
Ability to meet reasonable progress on federal projects 5
Project Description 40
Clarity of Project and Scope of Work
Safety Concern or Needs being Addressed
Proximity to Activity Center
Connectivity to Existing Facilities and Networks
Documentation of Sponsor and Planning Area support 5
Evidence of Public Involvement 5
Addressing Barriers to Access 10
Support within an adopted plan 5
Ability to fund Maintenance/Operations 5
Detailed and Complete Budget 15
Level of Local Match 10
TOTAL 100
CAMPO Staff participate in the points ranking process for applications not contained within the CAMPO
region – and – the other planning partners within Central District participate in the ranking process.
Agenda Item 7A Page 2 of 2
Staff Analysis
For the purposes of discussion, staff will provide the following observations:
Half of the available points are focused on the benefits of the project: connectivity, safety improvement,
proximity to activity centers, and addressing barriers to access. Projects that are providing these benefits
are more likely to get funded.
Projects with a higher percentage match are more likely to get funded. The process is fairly competitive
this cycle, with 9 application submittals totaling $5.2 million in requested funding but only $1.11 million
available. MoDOT staff have requested information on whether applicants would be willing to increase
their match or accept partial funding.
Staff Recommendation
Staff do not have a recommendation on the ranking order. Staff would recommend that the ranking order
be reflective of the MoDOT scoring criteria in order to lend support to projects that have the best funding
prospects within the MoDOT process.
Recommended Form of Motion:
Motion to forward the recommended ranking order (1, 2, 3, 4) to the Board of Directors for approval.

At the heart of the Village of Wardsville is the Blair Oaks School District. Blair Oaks is
a rapidly growing school district that is currently undergoing expansion via a recently
built new High School. This has led to greater needs for student and traffic handling
methods. With the construction of the new high school the parking lot has become an
asset of additional parking for ball games, but currently there are no direct sidewalks
that lead to the ballfields from the high school parking area. Pedestrians would need
to travel through the intermediate and elementary complexes to access existing
sidewalks to get to the ballfields. To avoid that, the village and district has been
shutting down Falcon Lane during games allowing attendees to walk freely down the
road to the ballfields. The terrain on the edges of the road are not conducive for
people to walk through the ditch line of Falcon Lane which is why the road is
necessary to use. The 2022 Blair Oaks Football season hosted 11 home games. The
2023 Baseball schedule shows 22 home games that will draw people to the Athletic
Complex.
The Falcon Lane pedestrian upgrades would allow for a road crossing from the High
School parking area to the middle school, then attach approximately 1400 feet of 8ft
wide sidewalks along the westbound side of Falcon Lane from existing sidewalks at
the intermediate school parking area down to existing sidewalk access at the Falcon
Athletic Complex. This will create safe ADA access to the sports complex area from
the main parking area and allow Falcon Lane to remain open to traffic during game
time.
This project is running in conjunction to a Cole County Communities grant. The
Communities grant will be covering turn lane additions and a portion of the gutter work
needed for proper storm water handling. By funding this project it will allow the
projects to be run in conjunction with each other and minimize the impacts of
construction and the number of times Falcon Lane will need to be shut down.

The need for upgrades in the Falcon Lane corridor have been a topic of public
meetings starting in March as they worked to apply for a Cole County
Communities grant to assist in paying for the upgrades. They were discussed at
meetings on March 2, 2022, April 6, May 4, June 1, October, November 2,
December 7, and January 4, 2023 when the funds were approved to apply for
TAP.
Blair Oaks School has added their support for the project that will be an asset to
their students and the safe organization of events at the district.

The project will consist of a 10-foot-wide concrete multi-use trail that will begin near the
intersection of E. McCarty Street with St. Louis Road and extend along Boggs Creek,
ultimately crossing over it and connecting into Riverside Park and its existing trail network.
This trail will provide direct access to the Park for those living along and off of St. Louis
Road as well as the Landwehr Hills subdivision among others. Together these area
contain in excess of 700 residential parcels. This trail will also provide an easier route for
those same individuals who may desire to travel into downtown Jefferson City or points to
the west. It does this in two ways, firstly it provides a separate facility increasing the safety
and comfort level of those traveling in that direction and secondly the trail circumnavigates
a large hill that separates the eastern and western branches of Boggs Creek. By doing so
it creates a connection that is virtually flat between St Louis Road and Grant Street. For
those traveling under human power being able to go around this hill removes a significant
barrier to their westward travels. Once in the park an individual can make use of the trail
system within the park or connect into the newly installed bike infrastructure on Grant
Street and either E. McCarty or High Street to connect to downtown and from there to the
Katy Trail State Park or the 7.3-mile-long Wears Creek Greenway.
The trail itself will follow Boggs Creek to a point just downstream of the confluence of the
eastern and western branches of the creek at which point the trail will cross the creek and
the adjoining floodway on a series of bridges and enter the southeastern corner of the
park.
The Vetter property which is slated to be transfered to City ownership by donation will be
the home of a portion of the trail and consists of just over thirteen acres. This property will
become part of Riverside Park with the trail serving as the only access to this new park
land. It is envisioned that these thirteen acres will be developed with additional nature and
mountain biking trails.
The construction of this trail is particularly timely as a new amphitheater has been built in
the Park and the availability of vehicular parking is very limited. Being able to access the
park by foot or bike will help address this parking shortfall by allowing people to walk or
cycle to the the park. The park will also soon be the home of a botanical garden that will
be connected to the existing trail system within the park. This garden will surely be a draw
for those who enjoy nature and would enjoy the natural environment provided by the trail.
The park is also home to one of the two swimming pools in Jefferson City. Providing a
safe and convenient trail into the park creates the opportunity for children to reach this
amenity without the need for an adult to drive them there.

This trail was proposed in the in the 2007 Jefferson City Greenway Trails Master
Plan and is supported by the 2016 Capitol Area Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan
which was produced by CAMPO. Greenway trails and connections into City
parks is also supported by the 2017 Parks Master Plan in which 75% of the
survey respondents listed greenways and trail connections as the most
important park amenity for their family. Currently CAMPO is engaged in the
development of the Capital Area Active Transportation Plan. The proposed trail
is included in that plan and has been reviewed by stakeholders and the public
during public meetings that were held on December 1st and 2nd 2022. Public
input on the plan continues to be gathered through online surveys. Current
information gathered from this public outreach has indicted that Parks are
among the most desired destinations for pedestrian and bicycle travel.

This trail will allow a means to go around the hill that separates the eastern and western branch of Boggs Creek. Doing so will
enable people on the eastern side of the Boggs Creek drainage basin to more easily reach Riverside Park and the downtown area
by avoiding that hill and by making use of the trail system within the park to more easily climb into the Wears Creek drainage basin
in which the majority of the City is located.

The project will be centered around the intersection of Stadium Boulevard and Satinwood Drive
and will consist of a number of components.
The pedestrian and non-motorized components of this project include the construction of a
10-foot-wide multi-use trail that would begin where the existing Stadium multi-use trail turns
northward near the Jefferson City Medical Group building and extend across the creek on a
pedestrian bridge, from there it would follow West Stadium Boulevard to Satinwood Drive where
it will cross through the intersection and continue along Stadium Boulevard to Lynnwood Drive.
From the Satinwood intersection it would double back to Portabello Drive for a future trail
connection to the Colonial Hills Subdivision. For its part the extension to Lynnwood Drive is the
first phase of a multi-use trail that will generally follow Stadium Boulevard and ultimately connect
to the existing East Branch Greenway multi-use trail adjacent to Jefferson City High School and
Lincoln University. The total length of the multi-use trail would be 1,765 feet. The project will also
include the construction of approximately 1,170 feet of sidewalk connecting Satinwood Drive to
Lynnwood Drive, completing the pedestrian connection to Portabello Place Drive, and tie into the
existing sidewalk along the southern leg of Satinwood Drive.
The extension of the multi-use trail connects Satinwood Drive and the connecting streets and
subdivisions to the 7.3-mile-long Wears Creek Greenway which extends from the City's westerly
most subdivision to the doorstep of downtown Jefferson City, and through sidewalks and marked
cycling infrastructure to the Missouri River Bridge and on to the Katy Trail State Park. The
proposed trail and sidewalk provide pedestrian access to Cedar Hill Elementary School, and in
conjunction with a TAP project awarded to the City in 2022 will provide a pedestrian connection
to Capitol City High School. For its part the Wears Creek Greenway into which this multi-use trail
will connect provides access to numerous commercial, medical, and recreational facilities along
its length providing pedestrian and cycling connections for both commuter and recreational trips.
The other components of the project include the construction of a concrete box culvert to
eliminate street and structure flooding at the intersection, as well as the construction of a
roundabout to address the acute intersection geometry, create a visual separation between
primarily commercial uses to the west and residential uses to the east, and replaces an existing
traffic signal that is not complaint with current standards.
The plans have not been developed to the point of certainty, but it may be possible for the
proposed stormwater culvert to be used as a pedestrian underpass. If that is determined to be
possible then the alignment of the trail may be modified through the intersection to take
advantage of that possibility.

input on the plan is currently being gathered through online surveys of which
more than 800 have been received. In response to the question where people
would like to be able to travel by foot and bike large percentages of the
respondents listed places such as downtown, grocery stores, parks, and schools
as top destinations all of which are made accessible to those living adjacent to
Satinwood Drive and the connecting streets and subdivisions with the
construction of the proposed trail extension.

The project will require the purchase of at least one and possibly a second residential property and a partial taking of a third. A
permanent trail easement will also be required from another property. The remainder of the project will take place on Right of Way that
is controlled by the City. The development of right of way plans and property acquisition will begin following the receipt of the the grant.
The attached documents show the ownership of the properties as they currently exist.
✔
✔
There is an existing sidewalk on Satinwood Drive that ends short of the intersection of Brandy Lane. The sidewalk ramps on either side of Stadium are non compliant
and while a crosswalk is marked across the northern leg of Stadium Boulevard there is no sidewalk to receive someone making use of the crossing. Because of the
skew of the intersection the crossing is complex requiring staging in painted islands and there are no pedestrian signal heads or means of pedestrian detection at the
traffic signal. The project will build compliant pedestrian facilities in every quadrant of the intersection and provide crosswalks across every leg of the intersection.

CAMPO Technical Committee Staff Report
Title VI Program Update
February 2, 2023
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires recipients to report certain general information to determine
compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The collection and reporting of this information
constitutes a recipient’s Title VI Program. To ensure compliance with 49 CFR Section 21.9 (b), the FTA requires
that all recipients document their compliance with this chapter by submitting a Title VI Program to the FTA’s
regional civil rights officer once every three years. As subrecipients, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization submits the information contained in this plan to their primary recipient, MoDOT, on a schedule to
be determined by the primary recipient, and is to be included as part of their Title VI Program. JEFFTRAN has
a similar requirement.
The 2023 Title VI Program will look different from previous iterations. CAMPO staff and JEFFTRAN staff will
submit a joint City of Jefferson Title VI Program to meet the requirements for both agencies. FTA staff and
MoDOT staff have agreed to this joint submission.
The plan consists of copies of many of our documents along with our activities involving civil rights:
• Title VI annual certifications and assurances
• Title VI Notice to the Public
• Title VI Complaint Procedures
• Title VI Complaint Form
• List of Transit-Related Title VI Investigations, Complaints, and Lawsuits
• Public Participation Plan
• Language Assistance Plan
• Committee Membership
• Demographic Profile of CAMPO & Maps
• Responses to several Title VI questions
The draft document is included with this staff report and is available on the CAMPO webpage at.
https://www.jeffersoncitymo.gov/campo.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends opening a 45-day public comment period and review of the draft document. Due to the nature
of creating a joint agency document, staff will vet the draft Title VI Program through the CAMPO Technical
Committee, City of Jefferson Public Transit Advisory Committee, City of Jefferson Public Works and Planning
Committee, and City of Jefferson City Council. The final document will need approval by both the CAMPO Board
of Directors and City of Jefferson City Council.
Any comments should be forwarded to Katrina Williams at 573-637-6536 or kawilliams@jeffcitymo.org.
Recommended Form of Motion:
Motion to open a 45-day public comment period and forward to the Board of Directors for review and approval.

AGENCY INFORMATION
The City of Jefferson administers funding and operation of JEFFTRAN, the City’s transit agency, and the Capital
Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). Both JEFFTRAN and CAMPO are partially funded by the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA). CAMPO is a sub-recipient via MoDOT of FTA funding. JEFFTRAN is a
direct recipient of FTA funding.
GENERAL PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Data Collection. Statistical data on race, color, national origin, income level, language spoken, and sex of
participants in, and beneficiaries of federally funded programs will be gathered for use in planning and
program analysis. Upon request by the Title VI Coordinator, CAMPO staff will prepare reports from
data available from the Census Bureau and other readily available sources. CAMPO will assist JEFFTRAN
with preparation of surveys and other data collection tools needed to prepare plans and reports.
2. Annual Report and Update. An Annual Report and Update is to be submitted to the MoDOT Office of
Civil Rights and the FTA in April of each year. The Title VI Coordinator is responsible for gathering
information from appropriate staff members and consolidating this information into the final document.
The final document is to include:
a. A report on the previous year’s Title VI-related activities and efforts, including accomplishments
and program changes;
b. An update on Title VI-related goals and objectives for the upcoming year.
3. Annual Review of the Title VI Program. Each year, in preparing for the Annual Report and update, the

JEFFTRAN SERVICE STANDARDS
VEHICLE LOAD STANDARDS
The average of all loads during the peak operating period should not exceed vehicles’ achievable capacities, which
are 30 passengers for a 25-foot mini-bus, 48 passengers for low-floor 29-foot buses and 55 passengers for low-
floor 35-foot buses.
VEHICLE HEADWAY STANDARDS
Service operates on regular route schedule on weekdays with 40 minute or better service intervals which should
begin no later than 6:40 a.m. and continue until 6:00 p.m. Scheduling involves the consideration of a number of
factors including: ridership productivity, transit/pedestrian friendly streets, density of transit-dependent population
and activities, land use connectivity, and transportation demand management.
ON-TIME PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
On average, ninety (90) percent of the JEFFTRAN’s transit vehicles will complete their established runs no more
than 5 minutes early or 10 minutes late in comparison to the established schedule/published timetables.
SERVICE AVAILABILITY STANDARDS
JEFFTRAN distributes transit service so that 81.5% of all residents in the service area are within a ¼ mile of the
bus route.
SERVICE POLICIES
VEHICLE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
All fixed route vehicles are low-floor, ramp equipped, with air conditioning. Buses feature AVL and AVA
services with an average age of 11 years. Bus assignments take into account the operating characteristics of
buses of various lengths, which are matched to the operating characteristics of the route. Local routes with
lower ridership may be assigned 29-foot buses rather than the 35-foot buses. Some routes requiring tight turns
on narrow streets are operated with 29-foot rather than 35-foot buses. Transportation vehicles assigned to
routes will not be determined on the basis of race, color or national origin.
TRANSIT AMENITIES POLICY
Installation of transit amenities along bus routes are based on the number of passenger boardings/alightings at
stops along those routes.

designed to serve the area’s goals, using spending, regulating, operating, management, and financial tools.
• Involve the general public and all the significantly affected sub-groups in the four essential functions listed
above.
CAMPO is comprised of a Board of Directors and a Technical Committee consisting of representatives from
jurisdictions within the planning area, Federal and State transportation agencies, and economic development
representatives. A full list of current members of the Board of Directors and Technical Committee can be
found in Appendix C document.
A memorandum of understanding between members identifies the City of Jefferson as the administrator of
CAMPO, and as such, provides staffing for CAMPO. The City of Jefferson provides staff consisting of two full
time transportation planners, who are housed within the Planning Division within the Department of Planning
and Protective Services. The Director of Planning and Protective Services stands as the CAMPO Administrator.
CAMPO BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEMBERSHIP
CAMPO is governed by a Board of Directors and Technical Committee consisting of representatives from
jurisdictions within the planning area, Federal and State transportation agencies, and economic development
representatives, with some serving as ex-officio (non-voting) members. Membership is not selected by CAMPO
staff. Local jurisdictions and participating agencies make their own selections for representation. CAMPO
membership has previously included minority members, but as of February 2020 there are no self-identified
minority representatives on either body.
CAMPO actively encourages the participation of minorities on such committees, but has no control over a
jurisdiction’s selection of representation.
The Board of Directors is responsible for providing official action on federally required plans, documents, and
programs. The Board is also responsible for changes in the bylaws and changes to the MPO boundary.
The Technical Committee consists of representatives from a member jurisdiction’s professional staff and acts in
an advisory capacity. There are 17 voting members of the CAMPO Technical Committee.

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA
Table 1 shows the populations for municipalities and unincorporated areas within the CAMPO planning area and
Adjusted Urbanized Area (2013). It should be noted that following the 2020 US Decennial Census, new “Urban
Area” criteria was approved in March 2022. Urban Area geographies and calculations are scheduled to be
available in May 2023.
A NOTE ON U.S. CENSUS DATA.
While Figure 9 and Figure 10 were derived from 2020 U.S. Decennial Census data, which is the most accurate
data based on jurisdiction, the following maps use data from the 2020 Decennial Census and the 2016-2020 5-
Year American Community Survey (ACS). ACS 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimates are period estimates, meaning they
represent the characteristics of the population and housing over a specific data collection period. Data sets are
combined to produce 12 months, 36 months or 60 months of data (referred to as 1-year, 3-year and 5-year
data.) The population of a city or county determines whether the ACS will collect data for a 1-, 3-, or 5-year
estimate. Most of the CAMPO region falls into the 5-year estimate category.

MINORITY POPULATIONS
For purposes of Title VI and Environmental Justice, who is considered to be a “Minority”? The updated DOT and
FHWA environmental justice orders define five minority groups as follows:
•Black (a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa);
•Hispanic or Latino (a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other
Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race);
•Asian American (a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia,
the Indian subcontinent);
•American Indian and Alaskan Native (a person having origins in any of the original people of North
America, South America, including Central America, and who maintains cultural identification through
tribal affiliation or community recognition); and
•Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (people having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii,
Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands).
Figure 11 shows the distribution of minority population within the CAMPO planning area. The core of Jefferson
City has the highest density of minorities.

City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – Agency Information 21
LOW-INCOME (POVERTY) POPULATIONS
Low-income or poverty is determined by the federal poverty guidelines and are represented by individuals living
below 185% of the poverty line, which are generated annually based on family size and composition. Figure 12
depicts the percent of low-income populations within the CAMPO planning area.
The inner core of Jefferson City has block groups with higher percentages, 21% to 31%, of persons living below
the poverty line than in the outlying area.

IDENTIFICATIONS OF MOBILITY NEEDS OF MINORITY POPULATIONS
CAMPO strives to include all people, including protected classes, in planning activities. During the development
of all planning documents, CAMPO seeks out and considers the needs of those traditionally underserved,
including minority households.
Racial and Hispanic/Latino minorities make up approximately 9.9% of the CAMPO population, with the majority
located in the core of the Jefferson City in close proximity to City Hall, where the majority of the CAMPO
public meetings and events are held.
CAMPO maintains a list of interested parties, which includes minority representatives, who are included in
outreach and engagement activities. Meetings are also held at a times and places served by public
transportation.
The Board of Directors includes many elected officials which represent minority constituents. Currently,
CAMPO has no minority representation on the Board of Directors or Technical Committee. Board and
Committee members are chosen by their respective jurisdictions.
DISPARATE IMPACT ANALYSIS
Most federally funded transportation projects occur in the core area of the CAMPO region. Projects may not
have well defined locations and may extend into and out of the MPO boundary. Specifically, projects along US
highways 50, 54, and 63 do include large scale improvement or maintenance projects that extend across a
county. Based on the maps in the previous section, there is an obvious correlation between the location of the
majority of protected classes located in MPO and majority of transportation system investment being spent. It
can concluded that there are no disparate impacts as a result of MPO decisions in transportation investments.
CAMPO only has decision making authority on the annual allocation of approximately $180,000 in Consolidated
Planning Grant funds (CPG). This allocation was increased in FY 2022 from the previous annual allocation and
$163,000. These funds can only be used for planning activities, not capital projects. Annually, approximately
96% of CPG funds are spent on salaries and minor administrative direct costs.
How funds are spent is determined by the CAMPO Board of Directors, and ultimately approved by FHWA,
FTA, and MoDOT via the annual Unified Planning Work Program. Unspent CPG funds are allowed to roll-over
build up allowing for their use on larger consultant led planning projects or documents. Between 2019 and 2022
two such projects were undertaken using CPG funds :
• JEFFTRAN Transit Facility Feasibility Study - $50,000
• Capital Area Active Transportation Plan - $130,000
The JEFFTRAN project was focused on the inner core of Jefferson City and CAMPO, with direct implications
for the protected classes. The Capital Area Active Transportation Plan is a region-wide plan with a broad focus
on access, safety, and mobility for all users.
Previous funding sources, such as sub-allocated Small Urban Surface Transportation Block Grant Program
(STBG) funds were historically used for capital projects. As of July 1, 2016, the Missouri Highway and
Transportation Commission ceased providing these funds to MPOs with populations under 200,000. However,
unobligated balances were spent down through FY 2019. This information was documented in the previous
iteration of the CAMPO Title VI Program in 2020.

other cultural barriers exist to public participation.
•To provide general notification of meetings and forums for public input, in a manner that is
understandable to all populations in the area.
•To hold public meetings in locations that are accessible to all area stakeholders, including but
not limited to minority and low-income members of the community.
•To provide methods for two-way communication and information and input from populations
which are less likely to attend meetings.
•To convey the information in various formats to reach all key stakeholder groups.

Minority, low-income and LEP persons are made aware of JEFFTRAN activities and events that have an impact
on JEFFTRAN services through notification of agencies serving these persons, and by making announcements
available in a variety of formats, including print, broadcast media, social media and internet announcements.
Activities and meetings are held in accessible buildings located on JEFFTRAN bus routes. Times of open houses
or meetings are scheduled to span late afternoon and early evening hours. Comments are also taken by mail,
email, fax, telephone, and in person.
JEFFTRAN seeks input from community leaders and organizations. To facilitate involvement of traditionally
underserved populations, community leaders and organizations that represent these groups are consulted about
how to most effectively reach their members. Relationships with these groups are maintained for future
partnerships in the planning process.
Provide services for the disabled: Upon advance notice, deaf interpreters, translators and Braille documents can
be provided for public meetings. Notifications of opportunities for public involvement will include contact

DRAFT
City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – JEFFTRAN Public Participation Plan 29
The Level and Quality of Service Analysis shall be provided to the City Council prior to the
public hearing on the matter. Major Transit Service Reduction includes the following:
a. Elimination or reduction in service that affects 5 or more passengers;
b. Elimination of routes or system wide route restructuring;
c. Any aggregate reduction of 25 percent or more of the number of transit REVENUE
MILES of a route computed on a daily basis for the day of the week for which the
change is proposed;
d. Level of service changes which may result in a disproportionately high and adverse
impact to minority communities as referenced in FTA Circular 4702.1, even though they
do not meet the threshold for a major service reduction. Such changes are subject to a
Level of Service Review as described in Paragraph 8.
e. EXCEPTIONS. The following service variations do not constitute major service
reductions and may be implemented without public hearings. Every effort will be made
to provide as much advance notice as possible to transit patrons through the news
media, and notice procedures described in Section IV.
f. Standard seasonal variations, including implementation of pre-established snow routes;
g. Emergency service changes, including changes in routes or service frequencies
necessitated by street closures, the ability of transit vehicles to travel on public streets
or a disaster which severely impairs public health or safety.
B. Fare Increases. The following fares and amendments are subject to public hearing:
a. Any increase in charges or fees assessed to transit riders for use of public transit
services including cash fares, ticket fares, pass fares and transfer fares;
b. Amendments to eligibility for fare categories; except that reduced fares or promotional
fare adjustments shall not be subject to public hearings. "Promotional fares" shall include
modifications to fare structures which are established on a short-term basis for the
specific purpose of promoting service and encouraging ridership.
C. Level and Quality of Service Change Analysis. A Level and Quality of Service Analysis shall be
provided for the Major Service Reductions listed in Paragraph 6 above.
i. The service to minority communities shall be evaluated in terms of overall
system standards to determine if a proposed change would result in
disproportionately high and adverse impacts to minority communities.
ii. This analysis shall include the identification of minority census tracts for
purposes of comparing outcomes in those areas to transit service provided in
other areas of the City. Not all service changes will result in adverse impacts,
however. For example, eliminating a route that runs every 30 minutes from a
street that already has service every 30 minutes and otherwise meets the system
standards would not warrant further analysis.
iii. Evaluation criteria. The Level and Quality of Service Analysis shall utilize the
following evaluation criteria. For purposes of comparison the three most
traveled routes and destinations shall constitute the standard by which the
proposed changes are to be evaluated. The evaluation should identify and
compare any changes in the following criteria within the standard routes and the
affected minority neighborhoods:
b. Number of riders affected
c. Travel time
d. Number of transfers
e. Service frequency
DRAFT
City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – JEFFTRAN Public Participation Plan 30
f.Span of service
g.Walk distance to bus route
h.Average peak hour travel time to destination
i.Total cost of trip to destination
i.Mitigation of Impacts. Service changes that would result in adverse or
disproportionate impacts on minority communities shall be reported in the
Analysis. This report shall provide a description of the mitigations, options and
alternatives to be considered in conjunction with the proposed service change,
such as:
D.(1)Alternatives to the service proposal that would have fewer negative impacts and the
rationale for not selecting them;
E.(2)Transit options that would be available for riders who would be negatively affected; and
F.Measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate the negative impacts of the proposed service change in
the affected area.
ACCESS TO RECORDS

As required by statute (23 CFR 450.316) CAMPO periodically reviews “the effectiveness of the procedures and
strategies contained in the participation plan to ensure a full and open process.”
CAMPO is constantly evaluating the effectiveness of our public participation policies and methods. Since 2015,
at least ten planning documents have been updated or developed.
Each time a planning document is updated or developed the required policies outlined in the PPP are followed
and re-evaluated. Since the last iteration of the PPP, CAMPO has utilized social media more and works more
closely with local stakeholders to encourage public input.
After each planning process ends CAMPO staff reviews the public input received and holds regular discussion
both internally and with Board of Directors and Technical Committee members about how the process can be
improved.
Public engagement during the development of the 2016 Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan and the 2017 JEFFTRAN
Operations Analysis saw marked increases in survey responses and attendance at public meetings. Because of
these successes, planning staff worked to use similar techniques to increase participation in the development of
the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in 2018 and 2019.

SURVEY RESULTS
As part of the update process three survey processes were used. The feedback received from these surveys
was used in the update of the PPP.
2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE SURVEY
As part of an annual process to measure staff performance a six-question survey was sent to members of the
Board of Directors and Technical Committee to gather input on how CAMPO staff can improve internal
processes. Eighteen responses were received.
Survey results highlighted a need for CAMPO staff to increase engagement at local events and festivals, provide
more presentations to stakeholder groups, and utilize social media more.
The questions and results are as follows:
1. Which MPO-related body are you a member of?
Board of Directors 66.67% 12
Technical Committee 33.33% 6

5. What other suggestions do you have for how CAMPO members and/or staff can better engage with the
public? (9 People skipped this question)
Jan 20 2023 11:53 AM I think they do a great job.
Jan 19 2023 12:11 PM None
Jan 19 2023 10:47 AM
It is often hard to capture the attention of the public when they do
not understand or see the end results or ramifications of the
planning effort.
Jan 19 2023 09:42 AM Not sure at this time
Dec 21 2022 12:34 PM
It is hard to get community feedback on planning related items. A
good option would be to go to the civic group meetings like Lions
Club, Optimist Club, etc.

Jan 19 2023 12:11 PM No
Jan 19 2023 10:47 AM
It takes many hours of time to gain the attention of the public and
explain why they should in interested in these planning efforts. It
would be good to have additional staff so that this could be
possible.
Jan 19 2023 09:42 AM No
Jan 19 2023 09:39 AM
I have only been a part of the process for a few months. The staff
seems to do their jobs well and the process seems good.

Dec 20 2022 07:48 AM None at this time.
Dec 20 2022 05:56 AM Great job.
Dec 16 2022 09:44 AM No, they seem to being a very good job.
2019 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SURVEY RESULTS
As part of the 2020 Title VI Program update process, a six-question public survey was disseminated to the
general public to gather input on how CAMPO can improve outreach and engagement in the region. The survey
was sent out via email, Facebook post, and via the CAMPO webpage. Thirty-three responses were received.
The survey was helpful in providing CAMPO with information on where respondents live and work, how they
would like to receive information, and how engagement can be improved.
This survey also highlighted a need to increase in-person engagement and presentations.
2022 CITY OF JEFFERSON CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
A public survey was not released in 2023 due to multiple surveys about other planning processes being released
by the City of Jefferson and CAMPO during the development of the 2023 Title VI Program. The City of
Jefferson Neighborhood Services Division updated the City of Jefferson Citizen Participation Plan in 2022. The
DRAFT
City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – CAMPO Public Participation Plan 38
Citizen Participation Plan provides a guide for public input and participation in identifying housing, community
development and public service needs, and the funding priorities for programs and target populations to be
served through resources for the City of Jefferson. The City of Jefferson’s Neighborhood Services Division is
responsible for developing and implementing a citizen participation plan with the other plans and reports
required by HUD. The purpose of this Citizen Participation Plan is to encourage citizen participation in the
decision-making process with particular emphasis on the participation of low-to-moderate income persons for
whom CDBG funds are proposed to be used.

PLAN SPECIFIC PROCEDURES
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), also referred to as a Long-Range Transportation Plan, assesses
regional transportation needs over a twenty-year planning horizon. The MTP sets goals and defines policies,
programs, strategies, and projects to meet the transportation needs of the CAMPO region. The MTP is central
to the MPO planning process and addresses all transportation modes, including; surface transportation (roads
and bridges), pedestrian and non-motorized, transit, air, waterways & ports, freight, rail.
Updates and amendments to the TIP follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the previous section.
5-YEAR UPDATE PROCESS
The 5-year update of the MTP should include two phases of engagement. The first phase includes outreach to
member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public to gather information on changes to needs and
demands in the region.
The second phase of engagement includes reviewing data, goals, strategies, and modeling with these same
member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public. The second phase concludes with the draft
document going through a multi-stage process of review by the Technical Committee, Board of Directors, and
public before approval or adoption.
The MTP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors
for approval. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25-
day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled
Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of
Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on
the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example
Notice is provided in this document.
Amendment Process
The MTP may be changed through an amendment or administrative modification. An amendment to the MTP is
subject to a 7-day public comment period after being reviewed by the Technical Committee and before being
approved by the Board of Directors. If staff conducts an administrative modification, notice will be provided to
the Board of Directors either prior to or immediately following the modification. Amendments and
administrative modifications are documented in the appendix of the MTP.
Definitions of an amendment or administrative modification, according to 23 CFR §450.104, are as follows:
Administrative modification means a minor revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan,
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that includes
minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and
minor changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require
public review and comment, a redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and
maintenance areas).
Amendment means a revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP that involves
a major change to a project included in a metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP, including the addition or deletion
of a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept
or design scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through traffic lanes or changing the number of stations
in the case of fixed guideway transit projects). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not
require an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment and a redemonstration of
fiscal constraint. If an amendment involves “non-exempt” projects in nonattainment and maintenance areas, a conformity
determination is required.
DRAFT
City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – CAMPO Public Participation Plan 46
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the document identifying transportation projects to be
programmed and funded with FHWA and/or FTA funds for the metropolitan planning area over the next five
years. Updates and amendments to the TIP follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the previous
section.
ANNUAL UPDATE PROCESS
The TIP is updated every year and covers a 5-year period starting July 1 of each year. TIP development begins
with a verification of status of projects in the current TIP, solicitation of new projects, and request for budget
information from local jurisdictions. Local transit providers are also requested to provide information needed to
develop their “Program of Projects” for inclusion in the TIP.
CAMPO staff develops the financial plan, project listings, maintenance and operations, and other components of
the TIP with support from the Technical Committee, member jurisdictions, MoDOT, FHWA, and FTA.
The TIP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of Directors
for approval. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25-
day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled
Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of
Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on
the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example
Notice is provided in this document.
The Board of Directors then requests approval of the TIP by the Governor and ONE DOT(consisting of FHWA
and FTA).
AMENDMENT PROCESS
The TIP may be changed through an amendment or administrative modification. An amendment to the TIP is
subject to a 7-day public comment period after being reviewed by the Technical Committee and before being
approved by the Board of Directors. If staff conducts an administrative modification, notice will be provided to
the Board of Directors either prior to or immediately following the modification. Amendments and
administrative modifications are documented in the appendix of the TIP.
More detail on the process for changes to the TIP can be found in the appendix of the current year TIP.
Definitions of an amendment or administrative modification, according to 23 CFR §450.104, are as follows:
Administrative modification means a minor revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan,
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that includes
minor changes to project/project phase costs, minor changes to funding sources of previously included projects, and minor
changes to project/project phase initiation dates. An administrative modification is a revision that does not require public
review and comment, a redemonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity determination (in nonattainment and
maintenance areas).
Amendment means a revision to a long-range statewide or metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP that involves a
major change to a project included in a metropolitan transportation plan, TIP, or STIP, including the addition or deletion of
a project or a major change in project cost, project/project phase initiation dates, or a major change in design concept or
design scope (e.g., changing project termini or the number of through traffic lanes or changing the number of stations in the
case of fixed guideway transit projects). Changes to projects that are included only for illustrative purposes do not require
an amendment. An amendment is a revision that requires public review and comment and a redemonstration of fiscal

PROGRAM OF PROJECTS (POP)
The POP is a list of projects to be funded in a grant application submitted to the FTA by a designated recipient.
The POP lists the subrecipients and indicates whether they are private non-profit agencies, governmental
authorities, or private providers of transportation service, designates the areas served (including rural areas),
and identifies any tribal entities. In addition, the POP includes a brief description of the projects, total project
cost, and Federal share for each project.
The POP is a component of the TIP and thus development and update processes follow the public participation
procedures used for the TIP.

COORDINATED PUBLIC TRANSIT-HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan) identifies the
transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, provides
strategies for meeting these needs, and prioritizes transportation services for funding and implementation.
In accordance with Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), the coordinated plan must be in
place for agencies to apply for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 funding.
Updates and amendments to the Coordinated Plan follow the procedures outlined in Tables 1 and 2 of the
previous section.
3-YEAR UPDATE PROCESS
The 3-year update of the MTP should include two phases of engagement. The first phase of engagement
includes outreach to member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public to gather information on
changes to needs and demands in the region.
The second phase of engagement includes reviewing data, goals, strategies, and modeling with these same
member jurisdictions, stakeholders, and the general public. The second phase concludes with the draft
document going through a multi-stage process of review by the Technical Committee, Board of Directors, and
public before approval or adoption.
The Coordinated Plan is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board
of Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 25-
day public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled
Board of Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of
Directors will close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on
the CAMPO webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example
Notice is provided in this document.
REVISION PROCESS
Any changes to the Coordinated Plan will be presented to the Technical Committee and Board of Directors for
their review and approval. The Board of Directors may open a public comment period to accommodate major
revisions.

TITLE VI PROGRAM, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN, & LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN
Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving
Federal financial assistance. Specifically, Title VI provides that:
[n]o person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity
receiving Federal financial assistance.
The Title VI Program is a federally required program and document that includes the Public Participation Plan
(PPP) and Language Assistance Plan (LAP). The Title VI Program must be updated every three years.
The update process includes a review of CAMPO procedures for notifying the public of their rights under Title
VI and how to file a complaint. The document(s) demographic data is reviewed and updated. The update of the
PPP includes a full review of current public engagement and comment procedures. A public survey is distributed
to gather input on how engagement can be improved.
The Title VI Program is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of
Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 45-day
public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of
Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will
close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO
webpage and a legal notice will be placed in the newspaper as specified in Table 1. An example Notice is
provided in this document.
The PPP is the official public participation process for plans and programs of CAMPO, as well as the Program of
Projects for JEFFTRAN, and OATS.
REVISION PROCESS
Any change to the Title VI Program, including the PPP or LAP will be presented to the Technical Committee and
Board of Directors for their review and approval. The Board of Directors may open a public comment period
to accommodate major revisions.

City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – CAMPO Public Participation Plan 50
UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM
The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) defines tasks and anticipates funding requirements for the
metropolitan planning activities performed by CAMPO with federal funds provided by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under title 23 U.S.C . and title 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 53. The UPWP defines activities for all public officials and agencies that contribute resources to the
transportation planning process. The UPWP covers one fiscal year, November 1 to October 31, and outlines
activities funded through the Consolidated Planning Grant and local funds and serves as the basis for funding
agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). The UPWP also serves as a
management tool for scheduling, budgeting, and monitoring the local planning activities.
ANNUAL UPDATE PROCESS
The UPWP is made available to the public during regularly scheduled Technical Committee and Board of
Directors meetings. By regulation, the UPWP is not required to undergo the same level of public involvement
as other MPO documents.
The UPWP is presented to the Technical Committee for review and recommendation to the Board of
Directors. The draft document is then presented to the Board of Directors for review and staff opens a 7-day
public comment period. A final opportunity for public comment will be provided at the next scheduled Board of
Directors meeting where the Board may choose to approve or adopt the plan. The Board of Directors will
close the public comment period. During the public comment period, a notice will be placed on the CAMPO
webpage specified in Table 1. An example Notice is provided in this document.
The Board of Directors then requests approval of the UPWP by the Governor and ONE DOT (consisting of
FHWA and FTA).
AMENDMENT PROCESS
The UPWP may be changed through an amendment or administrative modification. Amendments must be
approved by the Board of Directors, FTA, and FHWA. Some modifications may also go through an official
approval by the Board of Directors as deemed appropriate by staff. Amendments and administrative
modifications are documented in the UPWP.
More detail on the process for changes to the UPWP can be found in that document.
RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS
Comments on planning documents will be documented and provided to the Technical Committee and the Board
of Directors, and kept in MPO comment files. Comments may be included in plan appendices as summaries of
public comments.
General comments or questions regarding transportation policy, needs, and/or complaints will be acted upon by
staff in accordance with the federal, state, and local regulations. Action on these comments may include
addressing the comment directly, by correspondence to a comment or question; referring comments to the
correct recipient, either to different city/state departments; or taking the matter up with the Technical
Committee and/or Board of Directors.
If the responses to public comments results in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Transportation
Improvement Program and other plan or program documents or amendments being significantly different from
the draft document which was sent out for public review, an additional public comment period shall be held.
Determination of the need for an additional comment period will be made by the CAMPO Board of Directors.
If significant oral and written comments and responses are received, an appendix containing the comments and
recommendations will be made part of the final document.
Interested parties may comment and make recommendations on any plan or program in person, by fax, email,
or letter by contacting CAMPO staff at the following:

DRAFT
City of Jefferson Title VI Program 2023 – City of Jefferson/CAMPO Limited English Proficieny Plan 53
CITY OF JEFFERSON/CAMPO LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENY PLAN
This limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan has been prepared to address responsibilities of the City of
Jefferson (including CAMPO and JEFFTRAN) as recipients of federal financial assistance as they relate
to the needs of individuals with limited language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Federal Transit Administration Circular 4702.1B, dated
October 1, 2012, which states that the level and quality of transportation service is provided without
regard to race, color, or national origin.
Executive order 13166, titled “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English
Proficiency,” indicates that differing treatment based upon a person's inability to speak, read, write or
understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each federal agency to publish
guidance for its respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discriminations do
not take place. This order applies to all state and local agencies which receive federal funds.
SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION
The City of Jefferson is one of five incorporated communities within the CAMPO Planning Area as
seen in Figure 17. In addition to the communities of Holts Summit, Jefferson City, St. Martins, Taos,
and Wardsville, the CAMPO Planning Area also includes portions of Cole County and Callaway
County.
JEFFTRAN services are only provided within the City Limits of Jefferson City, see Figure 18.
JEFFTRAN services include six fixed-routes, three tripper routes (serving schools during the Spring and
Fall semesters), and a paratransit service via Handi-Wheels.
FOUR FACTOR ANALYSIS
The City of Jefferson has developed this LEP Plan to help identify reasonable steps for providing
language assistance to persons with limited English proficiency who wish to access services provided by
JEFFTRAN. As defined in Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as
their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write or understand English. This plan
outlines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, and the ways in which assistance
may be provided.
In order to prepare this plan, JEFFTRAN undertook the four-factor LEP analysis which considers
the following factors:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service
population ("served or encountered" includes those persons who would be served or
encountered by the recipient if the persons received adequate education and outreach and the
recipient provided sufficient language services).
2. The frequency with which LEP persons come into contact with the program.
3. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program.
4. The resources available and costs to the recipient.

1. THE NUMBER AND PROPORTION OF LEP PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO BE SERVED OR LIKELY TO BE ENCOUNTERED
IN THE CAMPO/JEFFTRAN SERVICE AREA:
A significant majority of people in both the CAMPO and JEFFTRAN service area are proficient in the English
language. Based on 2020 Decennial Census data, 2.5% of the Jefferson City population and 1.47% of the
CAMPO population, five years of age and older speak English “less than very well” – a definition of limited
English proficiency (LEP). Figure 17 and Figure 18 depict the number of LEP population in the City of Jefferson
and the CAMPO Planning Area.

2. FREQUENCY OF CONTACT BY LEP PERSONS WITHIN CAMPO AND JEFFTRAN SERVICES:
While City Hall staff at the City of Jefferson has occasionally received phone calls from non-english speaking
persons, 3-4 times in the last 3 years, there has not been an official request for an interpreter. On these rare
occasions this has only occurred with Spanish speakers. When such an occasion has occurred, a city staff
member, fluent in Spanish was able to provide support. None of these calls were related to CAMPO or JEFFTRAN
services.
CAMPO staff reviewed the frequency with which office staff have, or could have, contact with LEP persons. To
date, CAMPO has not received a request for an interpreter. None of the two current CAMPO staff members
stated that they have ever had a request for an interpreter. CAMPO averages zero phone calls per month
requesting an interpreter. CAMPO does include a the non-profit El Puente as a stakeholder agency during
planning processes and uses the organization for translation services of some CAMPO products.
JEFFTRAN staff reviewed, via a survey, the frequency with which office staff, dispatchers and drivers have, or
could have, contact with LEP persons. To date, JEFFTRAN rarely has a request for an interpreter. Only two out
of sixteen staff surveyed stated that they have ever had a request for an interpreter. JEFFTRAN averages zero
phone calls per month requesting an interpreter.
JEFFTRAN staff was given the following survey:
1. How often do you come into contact with riders who do not speak English or have trouble understanding
you when you speak English to them?
2. Of these riders, what language is most often spoken? (Example: Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese,
French, Arabic, etc.)
- Spanish was the only language identified.
3. If known, what other languages do you hear spoken by riders? (Example: Spanish, Chinese, Russian,
Vietnamese, French, Arabic, Other European, African, or Asian Languages, etc.)
- Spanish, African, Asian, and American Sign Language were identified.
4. What languages (other than English) do you understand or speak?
- Spanish (2), some Spanish (3), French (1)
5. Have you ever requested translation or interpretation assistance?
- Yes (2), No (14)
6. Do you have any suggestions regarding how we can serve LEP clients better?
- Suggestions included employing a translator and use of cell phone for
translation.
7. Have you ever received comments or feedback concerning the Spanish Route and Schedule Guides?
- No (15), No response (1)

FY2024 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
February 2, 2023
Summary
Staff has begun work on the FY2024 UPWP. This annual process starts very early due to the City of Jefferson’s
budget process. The FY2024 UPWP is anticipated to be adopted by May 2023.
The UPWP is CAMPO’s annual statement of work identifying the budget, planning priorities, and activities to be
carried out for the year (November 1 to October 31). The UPWP contains many ongoing activities required to perform
the essential functions of CAMPO, as well as, periodic and one-time activities. The UPWP serves as the basis for
funding agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
Note: The January UPWP staff report had an error and did not state a total inclusive of direct costs. The language
and chart below includes the entire draft budget totals. Apologies for any confusion.
The estimated draft budget for FY2024 is approximately $233,291 with $186,633 (80%) funded through the
Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) and $46,658 (20%) funded through local match. The 20% local match is
provided by Jefferson City (75%) and Cole County (25%). Based on the anticapated FY2023 expenditure and
estimated FY2024 draft budget, it is projected that CAMPO will have a balance of aproximately $487,896 in
unprogrammed CPG funds at the end of FY2024. The following chart details the estimated trajectory of the CAMPO
Consolidated Planning Grant balance. All of these totals are subject to change during the development of the UPWP.
Staff is in the process of developing objectives and activities for FY2024. Input from the Technical Committee,
Board of Directors, stakeholders, and the general public will be used throughout the process. These activities are
categorized into five work elements:
• Work Element 521 - Program Support & Administration
• Work Element 522 - General Development and Comprehensive Planning Coordination
• Work Element 524 - Short Range Transportation Planning & Programming
• Work Element 525 - Long Range Transportation Planning
• Work Element 526 - Public Transportation Planning
• Work Element 527 – Safe/Accessible Transportation Planning (New in FY 2023)
Anticipated major activities in FY2024, developed thus far, include:
• Development of the FY2025 UPWP (Annual)
• Development of the 2025-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (Annual)
• Technical assistance (i.e mapping, data development/management, grants) (Continuous)
• Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update (5 years)
• Urbanized Area/Planning Area review
• Functional Classification review
Staff will continue to develop other activities through May of 2023 and any input is welcome.

with the required 20% match provided by JC Parks ($25,000).
Phase 1 – Public Survey and Engagement
A public survey was disseminated in August and more than 800 responses were received. The survey was made
available in English and Spanish. Three public meetings were held in September inviting the public to comment on
the current bike/ped network and what barriers and opportunities they see in the region. Staff also gave multiple
presentations to various community groups, committees, and commissions requesting comment. During the first
round of public engagement, staff and consultants engaged with the steering committee and several stakeholder
groups, including the following; Public Safety, Healthcare, Education, Small Communities, Advocates/Transit
Providers, and Business Owners.
Phase 2 – Public Survey/Engagement, Draft Network Development
A second round of engagement occurred on December 1st and 2nd, including a steering committee meeting, a public
