FY 2013-2017 Transportation Improvement Program Amendments Mr. Wessel presented a brief discussion on projects and studies in which to place approximately $71,000 to address a late-breaking correction to funding estimates by ADOT for the FY 13-17 TIP. The TAC recommended $51,000 of additional funding to the NAIPTA bus stops and $20,000 to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update to assist with model improvements. A secondary amendment was needed to address HSIP funding corrections, as the apportioned amount is $816,000, but $779,000 is what can actually be spent (obligational authority). Mr. Woodson asked about other options for the use of the $71,000 for FY13. Mr. Wessel replied that for FY13 the additional funds could go to studies, such as the RTP and the Operations and Maintenance study, because these funds need to be obligated very quickly due to the fiscal year. Another alternative includes the reinstatement of Adaptive Control Signal Technology (ACST) project, because it can be built easily. However, the City is taking on the ACST project. Mr. Woodson moved to approve the following amendments to the FY13-17 TIP: flexing $51,000 to NAIPTA to build bus shelters in FY13; allocate $20,000 to the Regional Transportation Plan for a model update in FY13; and modify the HSIP figures to reflect current and correct obligation authority for FY13. Mr. Babbott seconded the motion. All were in favor of the amendments to the FY13-17 TIP. IV. CONCLUDING GENERAL BUSINESS 1. REPORTS 1) Staff Report None 2.
