1. Introductory Comments Mr. Gordon called the meeting to order just after 1:00pm. Ms. Neiderer took roll-call. It was established that a quorum was present.

2. Approval of Minutes Mr. Bolton motioned to approve the July 29, 2020 minutes. Mr. Martin seconded, and the minutes were approved by a unanimous vote.

3. Staff Updates - ACOPD a. Mr. Merkel reported on the list of development projects that have submitted applications for Highway Occupancy Permits. Mr. Laughman asked if the project list is a standard flow of projects, an increase in current projects, or a reignition of projects that were put hold. He made note that the list of projects seems longer this time around. Mr. Merkel confirmed that the list of projects is longer and that possibly the changes to the PennDOT system could be playing a roll in that, as automatic notifications are now generated. He stated that in the past when the system was not as automated, the MPO may not have seen the projects that didn’t make it to the stage in the process which required a meeting that included the MPO. He mentioned that there does seem to be an uptick in the number, however it’s not clear exactly why that is. He mentioned that the availability of particular types of units available in the real estate market could also be playing a factor. b. Mr. Cameron reported that the 2020 interim bridge inspections are wrapping up, and there have been no major changes to bridge conditions. He noted that the routine biennial inspections will begin in the spring of 2021, which is the full cycle of inspections. He reported that construction has proceeded on Adams County bridge Number 5, the Shorb’s Mill Bridge rehabilitation project and it is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021. Lastly, they are preparing the design of the next bridge maintenance for the county owned bridges. Mr. Bolton asked if there are any resources for the local bridges that need repairs, but not currently programmed. Mr. Merkel explained that three of the five local bridges that are rated as poor condition are being programmed. Bridge funds were affected by the formula change made during the last TIP update, but we have tried to keep some of the local bridges programmed. Currently, the Country Club Rd bridge and Golden Rd bridge are next on the list as funds become available on the TIP. Mr. Laughman asked how the budget reduction will affect the projects already programmed on the TIP, if there are no funds available for that part of the TIP. Mr. Merkel said hopefully the cycle of one local bridge being in construction and one local bridge being in the design phase can continue. Mr. Laughman clarified his question and asked how the lost revenue from the state shutdown will affect the TIP. Mr. Merkel noted that PennDOT is making some efforts to adjust project amounts, but the effects are not yet known. c. Mr. Merkel reported on Eastern Regional Operations Plan that addresses reliability, mobility, and congestion. The plan covers the major projects listed in Adams county including; Gettysburg Signal Improvements, US 15 Corridor Incident Management, and US 30 Fiber Deployment. Mr. Bolton mentioned that Community Media is working on a broadband project utilizing fiber along Rt 30 and asked to be informed of any updates on the topic.

4. Transit Update a. Ms. Fox reported for Commuter Service of Pennsylvania. She reported that 86 new members joined last month. HACC and Gettysburg College are participating in college month promotions. Telework is still the leading mode. Commuter Services is looking at transit feasibility to Plainville Brands, as many employees travel from York County area. There has been an 18% increase in commuters tracking their commutes from January to August. b. Mr. Farr reported for CPTA. Ridership is at about 70%. Adams County outperformed all other fixed route services on a percentage basis. Service is operating at about 60%. CPTA received CARES funding directly from the federal government. The funds are being used to support operations, PPE purchases, security and camera systems, and call center upgrades so that representatives can work from home if the need be. A grant is being submitted to FTA for plexiglass barriers for the drivers. A pilot application has been submitted to PennDOT for fixed route service connecting Gettysburg and Hanover through New Oxford, focusing on employment opportunities. At Home in Adams County collaborated on that study. CPTA has also advanced different programs for veterans, including shared ride for transportation to medical services and a fixed route reimbursement program.

5. Long Range Transportation Plan Update – Adams County a. Mr. Merkel shared the list of individuals who volunteered for the sub-committee which will help provide feedback for the LRTP update. They are: Bob Gordon, David Bolton, David Laughman, Anne Geiger, Beth Nidam, Robin Fitzpatrick, Michelle Tarquino, Jeff Puher, and Jamie Lemon. b. Mr. Merkel shared the draft outline of the LRTP update. Mr. Merkel included that staff has been in contact with PennDOT and other MPOs regarding a regional travel model effort, however it is not certain that the timing will allow for the inclusion of Adams County. Mr. Merkel noted that travel demand modeling is important because it depicts where commutes occur in the region. He noted that 65% of the workforce in Adams County commutes outside of the county. c. Ms. Neiderer reported on the Title VI Review that the MPO underwent in August and September. Many documents regarding the MPOs non-discrimination process have been revised or are in the process of being revised. d. Ms. Neiderer reported on the update of the Public Participation Plan and the specific topics of the plan that will be updated. Mr. Laughman asked if there is a penalty if the MPO doesn’t receive participation from a particular population. Ms. Neiderer explained that the Title VI review is for the benefit of the MPO in the event there is a legal suit regarding discrimination and there is no penalty for non-compliance. She stated that although the MPO will do its best to provide opportunities for meaningful access to participation for all groups, there is no quota for receiving participation from individual populations. e. Ms. Neiderer reported on the update of the Limited English Proficiency Plan and the specific topics of the plan that will be updated. She stated that staff may seed advisement on various topics related to the plan, including complaint logs and LEP frequency logs.

6. Performance Measures Mr. Merkel reported on the 2019 performance measures for bridges and pavement. He mentioned that in most cases, the performance of bridges in Adams County is better than the state average. He also reported that pavement conditions in Adams County are better than the state average in all categories.

7. 2019-2022 TIP Update - PennDOT Mr. Sansone explained that there were 6 modifications made to the 2019-2022 TIP since the July ACTPO meeting. There is no action needed for administrative modifications and the 2019-2022 TIP is closed out. Mr. Bolton commented that it is nice to see some projects coming in under budget.

8. 2021-2024 TIP Update – PennDOT a. Mr. Sansone explained that a TIP amendment is proposed to add the construction phase of the RT94 and RT234 intersection project to the 2021-2024 TIP. He mentioned that it does not change the schedule of any other projects on the TIP. Mr. Bolton made a motion to approve the amendment and Mr. Strayer seconded. The motion passed unanimously. b. Mr. Sansone reported on 4 administrative modifications to the 2021-2024 TIP. c. Mr. Merkel explained that a process has been outlined by PennDOT to identify and prioritize projects for Highway Safety Improvement Funds (HSIP). He went on to explain that there are specific eligibility requirements for using HSIP funds for a project and MPO Staff met with PennDOT staff to review eligible projects in the county. He stated that staff will next meet with specific municipalities to review the projects. In January, staff will then make recommendations to the board for programming. Mr. Walker added that in July when ACTPO last met, there were no eligible projects identified for HSIP funds, so PennDOT District 8-0 staff looked at additional locations which resulted in positive cost-benefit analysis. d. Mr. Merkel presented the Federal Planning Finding Letter from the Federal Highway Administration. He explained the letter provides feedback and recommendations to the state on the planning process. He mentioned some recommendations in the letter include improvements to the long range transportation planning process, integration of performance based planning and programming and asset management, recommendations for public safety, air quality safety groups, and efforts related to public outreach. He noted in the past, the Federal Planning Finding Letter has resulted in dramatic changes to the planning process.

9. PennDOT Comments Mr. Walker reported that there have been no projects let since that last meeting in July, mostly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are four projects due to be let between now and February 2021. Mr. Gordon mentioned that the roundabout was completed in Hampton and he heard positive feedback about the projects from a resident.

10. FHWA Comments – No Comments

11. Public Comments a. Mr. Gordon explained that two written comments were received, one positive and one negative. Mr. Merkel explained that the comments were received outside of the public comment period, so they are being presented to the board. He also mentioned that because of the virtual nature of the meetings and outreach efforts currently, written comments can be submitted prior to meeting and staff will present them to the board ahead of meetings. b. Ms. Butterfield reported that Gettysburg Borough will be submitting an application for funding to the PennDOT Multi-modal Transportation Fund for the Gettysburg Interloop Phase B2. She noted that Susan Naugle is the contact for the grant application. c. Mr. Bolton noted that Abbottstown Borough is also working on an application for the Multi- modal Funding Grant for North and South German Street. The borough is seeking improvement, including resurfacing, bike lanes, and sidewalks.

12. Member Comments a. Mr. Laughman asked if there is something the MPO needs to do regarding its status as a non-attainment status of orphan maintenance. Mr. Merkel explained the designation relates to air quality performance and the designations determine if MPOs receive CMAQ funds. He went on to explain that orphan maintenance areas were areas that were noncompliant with either ozone or particulate matter standards, but because of court rulings that changed the standards, some areas were re-designated. He said it does change some technical aspects, however, the biggest impact to the board that the MPO no longer receives CMAQ funds. b. Mr. Laughman asked if any CARES funding would go to our highways and benefit Adams County’s TIP. Mr. Merkel deferred the question to Mr. Walker, who noted that at this point, and to his knowledge, PennDOT is receiving the same allocation of funds.

13. Next Meeting, Time and Place Mr. Merkel presented the tentative meeting schedule for 2021. The next meeting will be held January 27th, 2021 at 1:00 pm. The format is to-be-determined. The meeting was adjourned at 2:32 pm.

On November 1, 2020, Senate Bill 1199 (Personal Delivery Devices) was enacted without Governor Wolf’s signature. It is now Act 106 of 2020 and will go into effect on January 30, 2021. Pennsylvania is one of 20+ states that allow for PDD CHARACTERISTICS Personal Delivery Devices (PDD). A PDD comes in all different shapes, What is a PDD? sizes, and use cases. However, Act 106 A PDD is ground­based delivery device that is manufactured for transporting cargo or goods and is operated by a driving system that allows for autonomous and/or does establish some limitations. remote operations. Per the Pennsylvania vehicle code, PDDs are classified as pedestrians and Width are afforded the same rights. PDDs must operate like a pedestrian with 32 inches or less three exceptions: 1. PDDs must yield the right­of­way to all pedestrians and pedalcyclists in a Length pedestrian area. 42 inches or less 2. PDD must travel in the same direction of traffic when traveling on a roadway or shoulder/berm. Height 3. In specific circumstances, a PDD may operate within the travel lane of 72 inches or less a roadway. Weight (w/o cargo) Where can a PDD operate? 550 pounds or less PDDs are permitted to operate in any pedestrian area (i.e. sidewalk, crosswalk, safety zone, pedestrian tunnel, overhead pedestrian crossing or similar area for Speed (pedestrian areas) pedestrians), and on a roadway or shoulder/berm of a roadway posted at 25mph 12mph or less or less. Assuming there are no limiting safety restrictions and use is practicable, PDDs shall Speed (shoulder/roadway) operate using the following priority: 25mph or less 1.

However, a PDD operator must be within 30 feet of the PDD and maintain line of sight of the PDD. After 180 days, a PDD will automatically transition to Phase 2 unless the authorized entity agrees to remain within Phase 1. Phase 2 (180 days+) ­ The PDD will be operated through an autonomous or remote driving system. However, a PDD must be monitored remotely and, if necessary, controlled or overridden remotely. How is a PDD Authorized? Per the law, PennDOT is responsible for developing policies governing the operations of PDDs and the application process to grant authorization. PennDOT has the sole authority to issue, approve, renew, revoke, suspend, condition or deny issuance or renewal of PDD authorizations. Per the law, a PDD application must contain: 1. Contact information; 2. List of municipalities where the PDD will operate; 3. Anticipated roadways/pedestrian areas where the PDD will operate; 4. Description of Operator training procedures; 5. Manufacturer/model of the PDD; 6. Description of how first responders would stop or disable the PDD; 7. Description of cargo the PDD will be carrying (hazardous material is prohibited); 8. Safety and maintenance inspection schedule; 9. Operating phases the PDD is capable of operating in; 10. Proof of insurance (minimum $100,000 liability); 11. Details on education campaign PDD developed for municipalities, motorists, and the general public; 12. Accident procedures; 13. List of unique identifier numbers; and 14. Any information or records deemed reasonably necessary to aid PennDOT’s review of the submitted application and for the administration, enforcement and ongoing compliance. Once authorized, an application is good for 1 year.

What authority does a municipality have? A municipality may, by ordinance or resolution, do the following: 1. Permit the use of a PDD on a roadway, or shoulder or berm of a roadway, under their jurisdiction where the posted speed limit is greater than 25mph, but not greater than 35mph. 2. Prohibit the use of a PDD on any roadway, or shoulder or berm of a roadway, or pedestrian area under their jurisdiction where the municipality, after consultation with the authorized entity, determines that the operation of the PDD would constitute a hazard. In addition, municipalities can identify a “weather emergency or other hazardous events,” and PDDs must temporarily cease or restrict operations.

What must an authority PDD entity provide a municipality? Per the law, authorized entities must: • Notify the municipality at least 30 days prior to commencing operations. • Employ an educational campaign to educate and bring awareness of PDDs to the municipality, motorists, and the general public. • Self­report to local law enforcement any accidents involving a PDD that resulted in bodily injury, death or damage to property within 24 hours of the accident.

Funding Threats and Needs

The unmet needs represent amounts needed above the current funding levels. The threats represent potential reductions in existing funding amounts. COVID Impacts refer to the projected budget implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

THREATS:

- Potential Federal Transportation Funding Reduction – If federal appropriations are reduced beginning in federal fiscal year 2021 due to the insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund, then PA’s highway and public transportation funding through FY 2029-30 could be reduced by a cumulative $6 billion. o Since 2008, this crisis has been averted by Congress transferring a total of $140 billion from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund. This sort-term solution may be used again. However, the inadequacy of federal gas tax revenues to fully fund the Highway Trust Fund creates a level of uncertainty in sustaining the fund into the future. The federal gas tax was last increased in 1993. - Potential Repeal of the Act 89 Vehicle Sales Tax Transfer - Beginning in FY 2022-23, when PTC payments are to be reduced, and replacement funds coming from the general fund could be in jeopardy, then public transportation funding through FY 2029-30 could be reduced by a cumulative $3.6 billion. o The PTC’s mandated payments to PennDOT’s Public Transportation Trust Fund of $450 million through FY 2021-22 and $50 million per year through 2057 are slotted to be backfilled (at a minimum of $450 million per year) with vehicle sales tax revenue that is transferred from the general fund beginning in FY 2022-23. This will be a negative impact to the General Fund. o Due to COVID-19 impacts there is concern whether the PTC will be able to make its FY 2020-21 payments, in which case the multimodal need estimated in the following charts would increase by an additional $450 million.

COVID-19 IMPACTS *numbers as of Sept. 1 Contact PennDOT for the latest estimates.:

- $842 Million in losses from the COVID-19 crisis – Pennsylvania’s prudent and lifesaving response to the health crisis coupled with decrease travel throughout the nation and region significantly reduced the department’s gas tax and other revenues.

UNMET NEEDS:

Unmet needs refer to the needs above current funding levels.

- 1.9 Billion in unmet needs for the National Highway System. o Currently $700 Million in unmet basic annual interstate funding needs. The department has planned a gradual increase in interstate funding over the next few years that shifts funding away from traffic routes and local roads. ▪ We have identified an annual need of $1.2 billion to meet cyclical asset management needs. Currently, we spend between $450 - $500 million per year on the Interstate System. The plan put forward by the Financial Guidance Work Group will increase Interstate investment by approximately $150 million in FFY 2021 and grow the investment by $50 million/year until it reaches $1 billion (FFY 2028). o $1.2 Billion in annual unmet needs for the balance of the National Highway System (i.e. not including the interstates). The need for funding on roads outside of the interstate system was a common plea from the members of the general assembly during this year’s appropriations hearings. ▪ The previously mentioned increase in funding to the interstates will divert funding from the remainder of the system, thus growing the unmet needs for the remainder of the National Highway System. - System Modernization and Upgrades of the NHS (including Interstates) - There is an unmet annual need of $2.1 billion – 3.2 billion for modernization and upgrades to the interstate system and modest upgrades to the remainder of the NHS system. - Maintenance and Operations - In addition to approximately 40,000 miles of highway and 25,400 bridges, PennDOT owns and maintains a myriad of other assets across the state. These assets follow a life cycle of build, maintain, preserve and then repeat when the asset reaches its useful life. Each group of assets have relatively consistent required maintenance cycles for various activities to extend their useful life.

Dear Planning Organizations:

Pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR § 490) regarding National Performance Management Measures for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Pennsylvania has established the 2021 targets for the following Safety Performance Measures:

1) Number of fatalities 2) Rate of fatalities per 100 million Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) 3) Number of serious injuries 4) Rate of serious injuries per 100 million VMT 5) Number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is required to establish these targets by August 31st each year. The 2021 targets found in Table 1 of the enclosure are based on a data-driven trend analysis of the statewide fatality and suspected serious injury numbers (2% annual fatality reduction and maintaining level suspected serious injuries).

Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are required to establish targets within 180 days of PennDOT establishing its targets (by February 27, 2021) either by agreeing to plan and program projects in support of the PennDOT targets, or by establishing their own quantifiable targets. For consistency, PennDOT is requesting Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) follow the same procedure. Table 2 of the enclosure reflects values for your MPO/RPO based on the same methodology that was used at the state level.

MPOs/RPOs wishing to establish their own quantifiable targets are requested to coordinate with PennDOT as early as possible, but no later than December 31, 2020.

A state is determined to have met or made significant progress toward meeting established targets if the outcome in 4 of 5 performance measures is better than the baseline number. For Pennsylvania’s 2019 targets, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will report this determination by March 31, 2021.

Preliminary data indicate Pennsylvania did not meet our 2019 targets and will be subject to the provisions of 23 Code § 148 (i). This will require the Department to submit an implementation plan that identifies gaps, develops strategies, action steps and best practices, and includes a financial and performance review of all

Dear Planning Organizations:

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act established a series of performance measures to ensure effective use of Federal transportation funds. Title 23 Part 490 of the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 490) establishes measures to assess pavements on the National Highway System (NHS), bridges carrying the NHS, and pavements on the Interstate, which are collectively referred to as the PM-2 measures. 23 CFR 490.105 establishes measures to assess the performance of the NHS, freight movement on the Interstate, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. These measures are collectively referred to as the PM-3 measures. More information on Transportation Performance Management (TPM) is available at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/tpm/faq.cfm.

PM-2 Performance Measures include: . Percentage of pavements on the Interstate System in Good condition . Percentage of pavements on the Interstate System in Poor condition . Percentage of pavements on the NHS (excluding the Interstate System) in Good condition . Percentage of pavements on the NHS (excluding the Interstate System) in Poor condition . Percentage of NHS bridge deck area classified as in Good condition . Percentage of NHS bridge deck area classified as in Poor condition

PM-3 Performance Measures include: . Percent of Person-miles Traveled on the Interstate System that are Reliable . Percent of Person-miles Traveled on the Non-Interstate NHS that are Reliable . Interstate System Truck Travel Time Reliability Index . Annual Hours of Peak-Hour Excessive Delay (PHED) per Capita . Percent Non-Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) Travel . On-Road Mobile Source Emissions Reduction for CMAQ-funded Projects

In May 2018, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) established 2- year and 4-year targets in coordination with Pennsylvania’s Planning Partners. All MPO/RPOs agreed to support the PennDOT statewide and regional PM-2 and PM-3 targets established at that time. In June 2019, PennDOT submitted a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) that published the PM-2 targets along with its plan to achieve them while progressing towards lowest life cycle cost planning and programming. The TAMP is available at: https://www.penndot.gov/ProjectAndPrograms/Asset-Management/Documents/PennDOT- TAMP.pdf

PennDOT Mid Performance Period Report

PennDOT recently submitted a Mid Performance Period Progress Report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on September 30, 2020. This progress report includes: . The actual performance derived from the latest data collected through the midpoint of the performance period; . A discussion of PennDOT’s progress toward achieving each established 2-year target; . A discussion on progress of PennDOT’s efforts in addressing congestion at truck freight bottlenecks within the state; . Adjustments to the 4-year targets for select performance measures with a discussion of the basis for the adjustment and how the revised targets support expectations in the long-range statewide transportation plan and the TAMP; . MPO CMAQ performance plans for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC), Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) and Lancaster Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)s.

The FHWA makes a formal determination of significant progress in the achievement of 2- and 4-year targets. If significant progress is not made, states will be required to document actions to achieve targets in future performance periods. Attachments 1-3 (addressing both the PM-2 and PM-3 measures) provide a summary of the actual 2-year performance and progress toward achieving the established statewide targets. Additional information is provided on individual MPO/RPO performance for select measures.

Adjustments to 4-Year Performance Targets and Coordination

The Mid Performance Period Progress Report offers an opportunity for PennDOT and its Planning Partners to review and adjust the 4-year targets for each of the PM-2 and PM-3 performance measures. All bridge, pavement, reliability, freight and CMAQ emission targets were assessed in coordination between PennDOT and Pennsylvania’s MPO/RPOs. The CMAQ congestion and Non-SOV measure targets were reviewed by all relevant state DOT and MPO partners for each urbanized area (e.g. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas).

PennDOT has not adjusted any of the PM-2 targets. PennDOT has adjusted the PM-3 targets as summarized in Table 1. The adjusted statewide targets were provided in PennDOT’s Mid Performance Period Progress Report to FHWA. PennDOT provided a presentation on the assessment of PM-2 and PM-3 targets at the September 16th Planning Partners call. The call included a discussion on the target setting process and requested comments on the proposed adjustments to the PM-3 target values. No MPO/RPOs indicated concerns regarding adjustments to the reliability, freight or CMAQ emission targets.

2021 PM-2 and PM-3 Target Setting Page 3 November 18, 2020

Table 1: Adjustments to Statewide PM-3 Targets (All Other PM-2 and PM-3 Targets Remain Same as Baseline Report)

Original Adjusted Measure Basis for Adjustment Target Target In the baseline report, PennDOT's target was developed to maintain status quo for operations. Based on a review of the first three years of data, there are yearly variations in the reliability measure. PennDOT has identified impacts of construction projects on reliability while work zone traffic restrictions are in effect. PennDOT’s 2021 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) has an increased focus on interstate highways, which will result in more construction projects. Major projects which will be underway in 2021 include the I-83 widening Interstate in Harrisburg, I-95 reconstruction in Delaware and Philadelphia 89.8% 89.5% Reliability Counties, the Southern Beltway interchange with I-79 near Pittsburgh, and I-81 reconstruction near Carlisle. Smaller projects like bridge rehabilitations also impact reliability when long-term lane closures are required. The target adjustment reflects a desire to maintain the status quo as planned in the baseline report while taking into account year-to- year variability with a multitude of construction scenarios. Other congestion management techniques to improve reliability will need to be planned and are beyond the timeframe of the 4-year target for this performance period.

The impacts of construction work zones on the freight reliability measure cannot be mitigated prior to the 2021 construction season. Truck PennDOT will continue to monitor data to develop appropriate Travel 1.34 1.40 mitigation strategies to improve freight reliability in future performance Time periods. The 4-year target is intended to account for anticipated Index construction projects which will impact 2021 performance and unknown freight impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The original target was set assuming PM10 benefits of CMAQ projects CMAQ across the entire SPC region. The target should only be for the actual PM10 17.47 0.00 nonattainment/maintenance area which just includes Liberty Clairton. Emissions No CMAQ projects are anticipated in this area over the 4-year performance period. The statewide target was adjusted to zero. The DVRPC region is now in attainment for CO and no longer requires CMAQ CO 1135.40 250.00 a target. As such, the statewide number is adjusted only to reflect the Emissions SPC area.

January 20, 2021 Andrew Merkel, Adams County Office of Planning & Development (ACTPO) [email protected] 670 Old Harrisburg Road Suite 100 Gettysburg, PA 17325 Phone: 717-337-9824 FAX: 717-334-0786

Dear Andrew Merkel:

After I read the Public Notice in the GBT’s today about the ACTPO Meeting via Zoom scheduled for Wednesday, January 27th at 1:00 PM, I wanted to bring these concerns and questions to your attention.

Do you plan to send an email flyer or notice about the ACTPO Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 27th at 1:00 PM via Zoom to the Boroughs and Townships in Adams County so they can post them on their websites and pages? Not everyone reads , however Conewago residents do check the Township’s website and Facebook page for notices.

Essentially, the Zoom link printed in the Gettysburg Times Public Notice is not USER Friendly. This almost eliminates any public comment because many residents in the county are not comfortable with this limited access method. In fact, it marginalizes 55 plus residents who are not digital natives. Even the digital natives would have difficulty typing in the link to access the Zoom meeting and Password, etc. The link and codes listed are ridiculous. Even the phone call method is hard for people who are not comfortable with this method. Although it is a challenge, citizens must have access to government that is less complicated. Citizens understand how the Pandemic restrictions impact government meetings. However, it is imperative to simplify the process.

Recommendations: • Create a video for the Townships and the Boroughs to post on their websites and Facebook pages to explain to the citizens how they can participate. • Insist on less complicated links • Use Community Media to video tape your meetings • Livestream video of meeting on the Adams County Facebook page, or YouTube Channel (needs to be more than audio) • Archive them on the ACTPO section of the Adams County website • Post Agenda and Documents associated with meeting’s agenda on the ACTPO Section of the county’s website in a timely manner for citizens to review • Implement the use of emerging technologies and tools to improve efficiency • Invite the Gettysburg Times to your meetings or send a press release to them

Finally, Adams County citizens look forward to greater transparency and access. The Zoom link provided in the Public Notice in the Gettysburg Times is unbelievably complicated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both. - James Madison, 1832

Respectfully, Ellen Ryan Conewago Township, Adams County Resident
