A. Transportation Alternative Program Grant Rankings
Mr. Barron stated MoDOT has tasked CAMPO with ranking the four grant applications
within the CAMPO boundaries. Central District received nine applications totaling $5.2
million in requested funding, but only $1.1 million dollars is available in grant funding this
round. Within the MoDOT review process, applications are analyzed based on a points
system. The minimum grant amount is $100,000 and the maximum grant amount
rewarded will be $500,000 per project. Mr. Barron provided a brief overview of each
project followed by additional information provided by representatives of each project.
Mr. Landwehr provided an overview of the Rainbow Drive Sidewalk project. This is a
continuation of a previously funded project thru the state, known as the safe routes to
schools’ program. This project would be a continuation of that project from 2015, where
sidewalks were installed in front of Pioneer Trail School from Business 50 to Hunters
Run and will connect to a subdivision that goes into the city and would provide sidewalk
access into the city.
Ms. Bowden discussed the Falcon Lane Pedestrian Improvements project. When Blair
Oaks has a sporting event, Falcon Lane is closed down during the event, because of
the use of the high school parking lot for the events. The ditch lines on the side of the
road are extremely steep, making it impossible for anyone to walk in the grass. The hope
is for this sidewalk project and the road widening to all occur at the same time to minimize
construction delays and closures for the school and area.
Mr. Bange advised the Boggs Creek project will connect the Greenway to Riverside
Park, which may help with the lack of parking in the area of the new Amphitheater. This
would also provide a nice way around the large hill that exists between St. Louis Road
and Grant Street. There is a 13-acre parcel that is in the process of being donated to the
Parks Department, this project would serve as the connection to the new 13-acre
property. Two easements would still be needed for this project.
Mr. Bange provided information on the Stadium and Satinwood Project. This plan would
include road improvements including a roundabout to improve roadway alignment and
new box culverts to help with flooding problems in the area. Another component of this
project is to create ADA access across and thru the intersection.
After a brief discussion, Mr. Lester moved and Mr. Ruediger seconded a motion for
approval of the ranking order (1. Falcon Lane Pedestrian Improvements, 2. Boggs Creek
Greenway, 3. Rainbow Drive Sidewalk, and 4. Stadium and Satinwood Pedestrian
Improvements) and instruct staff to forward the ranking order to MoDOT. The motion
passed unanimously.

B. Title VI Program – Draft
Ms. Williams gave an overview of the Title VI Program and advised this will be the first
year that CAMPO and JEFFTRAN will submit a joint City of Jefferson Title VI Program
to meet the requirements for both agencies. Both agencies receive federal transit
administration funds and are required to submit an updated Title VI Program every three
years.
8. Other Business
A. 2024-2028 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.
Ms. Williams requested that jurisdiction contact CAMPO staff with any projects they
have pending that will utilize federal transportation funds.
B. FY2024 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
$238,833m which includes an estimate for salary increases and $30,000 for
professional services to use on the Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update if needed.
Ms. Williams directed members to contact her with any questions, comments, or input
on possible projects.
C. Capital Area Active Transportation Plan
Ms. Williams stated the plan is moving into phase three. A draft network plan is
available online and the prioritization survey has closed, with over 120 survey
responses. Another steering committee meeting is expected to be scheduled in March
