Minutes

1. Call to Order

Chairman Paul Harvey called the meeting to order at 10:34 am.

2. Approval of the May 8th, 2014 Meeting Minutes

Upon the motion of Johnnie Roark to approve the minutes of May 8th, 2014 as presented, seconded by Don DeBerry, the meeting minutes from May 8th, 2014 were approved unanimously.

3. Central Virginia Ling Range Transportation Plan Year 2040 Update Bob White introduced the project for continued discussion and noted specifically that the statewide prioritization framework effort and the emphasis and concentration to implementing changes to how projects are funded. Bill Wuensch and Vlad Gavrilovic continued the discussion on the Map-21 and update and overviewed the progress on the Mind-Mixer site set-up. Additionally, Bill and Vlad discussed and presented information regarding the project evaluation framework and discussed with the Committee matters regarding corrections and edits to the framework as they relate to the themes, goals and objectives of the project evaluation framework. Further, Bill reviewed the intersection analysis and noted that he was looking for information to be received form the localities as they develop a list of those intersections that are of specific concern for congestion or safety. Lastly, Bill reviewed and summarized the prior identified constrained and vision projects and reviewed maps that identified those projects and discussed areas that are currently showing as new projects according to recent travel demand modeling efforts.

4. Matters from the Committee 3 of 15 - July 10, 2014 - TTC Agenda

Bob White discussed the Functional Classification System and the report that was created as a recommendation of those transportation systems and forwarded to VDOT Central office. Bob noted that he received the report back from VDOT which accepted some of the recommendations and rejected others. Bob presented the report to the Committee to discuss any comments that the Committee may have. By consensus, the Committee concluded that because of the involved and elaborate process that was in place for the recommendations, that the recommendations stand as presented and no changes in recommendations are appropriate. The Committee’s position remains the same. Karen Walton noted the grand opening of the GLTC transfer station and invited all from the Committee to attend.

5. Adjournment A motion was made by Richard Metz to adjourn, seconded by Doyle Allen, and without objection Chairman Harvey adjourned the meeting at 11:50 a.m. Signed: __________DRAFT___________ Paul E. Harvey, Chair

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Approved September 5, 2002

The Central Virginia Transportation Technical Committee (Committee) is responsible for supporting the Central Virginia Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CVMPO) and Region 2000 Regional Commission’s transportation policy decision-making efforts. The Committee provides technical advice in coordinating the federally-mandated “3-C” or continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative, transportation planning and programming process. The Committee’s three principal work efforts are updating the long range transportation plan, updating the transportation improvement program (TIP), and developing the annual unified planning work program. The Committee, in conjunction with its rural colleagues, also develops the annual Rural Transportation Planning Assistance Program Scope of Work. The Committee’s intent is to review and comment on TIP projects and work program products. The Committee acknowledges that the long range transportation plan update is the primary planning document for transportation issues in the Central Virginia region. This planning initiative drives the formulation of the transportation improvement program, as well as the annual work programs. The Committee further realizes that the long range transportation planning process must identify regional priorities in order to fully influence project funding decisions ultimately exercised by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The Committee’s intent is to recommend priorities and encourage the CVMPO to set these priorities at the regional level. Because of its importance, the Committee is fully committed to actively being involved in the long range transportation planning process. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee will:

1. Coordinate with local planning departments to ensure an understanding of pertinent local development issues and their impact on the region;

2. Coordinate with nearby MPOs and develop an ongoing dialogue with them;

3. Strive to integrate land use and economic development, as well as transportation

considerations, in its planning process;

4. Strive to be proactive as opposed to reactive in problem solving.
