REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) serves as the administrative body of and provides staffing for the Charlottesville Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization (CA-MPO). The CA-MPO is partnered with Albemarle County, the City of Charlottesville, Charlottesville Area Transit, JAUNT, TJPDC, and the Commonwealth of Virginia (Virginia Department of Transportation and Department of Rail and Public Transportation). Federal regulations require a determination of responsibilities necessary to carry out the metropolitan transportation planning process, and to periodically review and update these agreements.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure Investment: Prioritize, plan, and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs.
DISCUSSION: Federal Regulations (23CFR Part 450 Subpart C) require a Continuing, Cooperative, and Comprehensive (3-C) planning and programming process be determined, identified and implemented by the MPO and its partners and for that agreement to be periodically reviewed and updated. The 3-C Agreement was last updated on January 28, 2009. The changes to this 3-C Agreement include partner names and new cooperative efforts. The draft, updated 3-C Agreement is included as Attachment A. The CA-MPO and TJPDC have approved the updated 3-C Agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is no budget impact from the 3-C agreement. However, the TJPDC annually submits a budget request to Albemarle County to fund the operations of the CA-MPO.
