No Old Business
7. New Business
A. 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 develop CAMPO’s own performance targets within the different categories, vote
to support 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 all four categories of Safety,
Bridge/Pavement, System Performance, and Transit Asset Management. Historically,
CAMPO (and most other small area MPO’s in Missouri) has pursued supporting the
statewide targets, through a vote by the Board of Directors to support the statewide
targets. Mr. Barron gave an overview of the statewide targets in each category.
Mr. Reece motioned and Mr. Fischer seconded to support the statewide safety targets,
pavement and bridge targets, system performance targets, and transit asset
management targets established by MoDOT. The motion passed unanimously.
8. Other Business
A. 2023-2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Ms. Williams stated development of the 2024-2028 TIP has started, TIP is a 5-year
financial program of transportation projects to be implemented within the Metropolitan
Planning Area (MPA). The TIP is updated annually by CAMPO in cooperation with
local jurisdictions Applications and budget information for Federally Funded
Transportation Projects are due to CAMPO staff by February 24, 2023.
B. FY2023 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
Ms. Williams stated staff has begun work on the FY2024 UPWP, which is expected to
be adopted by May 2023. This annual process starts very early due to the City of
Jefferson’s budget process. The estimated draft budget for FY2024 is approximately
$183,951 with 80% federally funded through the Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG)
and 20% funded through local match (15% from City of Jefferson, 5% from Cole
County). This estimate does include an estimate for salary increases and $30,000 for
professional services to use on the Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update if needed.
It is projected that CAMPO will have a balance of approximately $471,670 at the end
of FY2023 of CPG funds. CAMPO usually maintains a pool of funds that can be used
for professional services/large planning processes like the Active Transportation Plan.
Major tasks in FY2024 include development of the FY2025 UPWP and the 2025-2029
TIP, technical assistance, Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update, Urbanized
Area/Planning Area review, and Functional Classification Review.
Ms. Williams directed members to contact her with any questions, comments, or input
on possible projects.
Mr. Barron advised the city planning division and CAMPO division does not have a lot

of staff resources to be pursuing additional projects and the focus for the next year will
be on federal requirements that CAMPO has to fulfill.
Mr. Fischer inquired if there is funding available for the additional ramp on South
Summit Drive that has been previously discussed and better access to the Katy Trail.
Ms. Williams advised CAMPO has received a lot of comments in the Active
Transportation Plan involving Katy Trail Access in North Jefferson City/Callawa y
County. Comments include having better signage and better access; implementation
of these would involve other jurisdictions including: Callaway County, MoDOT,
Department of Natural Resources, and State Parks.
C. Capital Area Active Transportation Plan
Ms. Williams stated the second round of engagements occurred December 1st and 2nd,
which included a steering committee meeting, a public meeting, three walk-audits, and
an outreach booth at Downtown Living Windows. A draft network plan and prioritization
survey has been developed and is available for responses online. Another steering
committee meeting is expected to be scheduled in March of 2023.
D. Title VI Program Update
Ms. Williams stated CAMPO and JEFFTRAN both receive Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) funding and are federally required to update the Title IV Program
every three years. Staff received clearance from FTA and MoDOT staff to submit a
combined Title VI Program for CAMPO and JEFFTRAN under the umbrella of the city.
The formal 45-day public comment period will start in February 2023. Several boards
will review the draft Title VI Program with the final document needing approval by the
CAMPO Board of Directors and City of Jefferson City Council. A draft document was
provided to the Technical Committee, MoDOT Title VI Coordinator, and is available on
the CAMPO and JEFFTRAN webpages.
