St Ln Ln Provence Page 47 Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Evaluation Process Charlotte Department of Transportation The Traffic Safety Section within the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) is responsible for the compilation and analysis of collisions that occur within the right of way inside the Charlotte city limits. This data is used to develop projects and programs to address documented crash patterns with the ultimate goal of reducing collisions throughout the City. With more than 20,000 intersections in the City and on average 18,000 crashes annually, CDOT has developed several methods to focus efforts on the most unsafe intersections. One of the tools is the High Accident Location (HAL) list. The HAL is based on a crash rate which is a mathematical formula that accounts for total numbers of collisions over a three-year period divided by the intersection traffic volumes. There are currently 87 ranked intersections on the HAL. Intersections with a crash rate at 1.10 or higher are included. Another tool CDOT uses to prioritize safety locations is the Intersection Safety Warrants list. The locations are selected and prioritized using many crash-related factors, including frequency, rate, severity, and patterns such as type and time of day. There are more than 480 locations identified on the Safety Warrants list. CDOT updates the Intersection Safety Warrants list every two years. Citizens, media, City Council, and staff from other agencies, primarily North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and CMPD, bring forward potential safety concerns. Each request is evaluated fully using the documented crash data and compared against the HAL and Safety Warrants list to determine if countermeasures are appropriate. The locations identified on the HAL, Safety Warrants list, or those identified by citizens or other agencies are preliminary candidates for safety improvements. The final decision to install countermeasures at a location depends on the findings of a detailed engineering investigation, which includes a breakdown of the crash data to evaluate trends and potential patterns over three to five years, sight distance evaluations, and roadway/site evaluations. Staff also evaluates benefit-to-cost of the countermeasures. The project rankings are continually evaluated as new potential safety concerns are identified to maximize the limited funding resources. Data Source CDOT’s crash data comes from an electronic database populated by crash reports entered by the CMPD. CDOT receives the raw data from CMPD and processes the information to locate the crash site and verify the accuracy of many variables including the crash type. Data reported in this paper is collected within the City of Charlotte limits. The data is typically current to within 30 – 60 days of the evaluation.

transportation network. CDOT is responsible for evaluation and prioritization of pedestrian crossing requests. The Pedestrian Crossing Committee (PCC) is led by CDOT and comprised of many department representatives, including engineers, planners, and other experienced staff from Traffic Safety, Public Service, Planning & Design, CATS, and Land Development. Mid-block and unsignalized pedestrian crossing requests come from citizens, City Council, and staff from other Departments through a variety of project developments. Each request is evaluated fully to determine if enhanced pedestrian crossings are appropriate given the land use, roadway design, and operating speed of the street. Enhanced pedestrian crossings can include warning signs, marked crosswalks, refuge islands, medians, Hybrid Pedestrian Beacons, or a combination of these traffic control devices. Staff uses a number of criteria, such as location, traffic volumes, traffic speed, crossing proximity to an existing signal, and pedestrian volume in the evaluation process. If thresholds are met regarding the criteria, an Engineering Study is conducted to determine the most appropriate enhanced pedestrian crossing. Once a crossing has been approved, it is placed on a list to compete for funding. There is currently no established funding source devoted to pedestrian crossings. Staff looks for opportunities to partner with other programs such as Pedestrian and Traffic Safety, Sidewalk, Traffic Calming, Business Corridors, Area Plans, or road conversions through resurfacing. Since the PCC formed in 2006 and began tracking crossing requests, staff has evaluated about 200 locations. There are currently 18 approved pedestrian crossing locations waiting on funding. Below are several examples of enhanced pedestrian crossings that have been implemented through the various projects and programs. Figure 1.

The following summary is a compilation of previous studies and one additional study conducted for this task. Since the three questions posed for this study involve discrete sub-processes within the MPO, a compilation of studies was used to provide this preliminary response. The three studies cited herein are: A brief summary of the highlights of the findings and implications to MUMPO is presented in Figure 1. The work was conducted under the MPO OnCall Service Agreement with J. S. Lane Company, LLC as the lead agency and Anne Morris as a task leader for survey gathering.

Lane Company, LLC Local Match Requirements. AMPO Survey Results: Local Match (2005 and 2009). This effort was really two separate studies that allow some time-series comparisons to see if the operations of the MPOs studied are changing with respect to the question of how local matches are being provided for federally funded projects. Weighted Voting Procedures. AMPO Survey Results: Policy Board Structure (2004) and Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) Survey of Best Practices (2009, Scott Lane/The Louis Berger Group, under contract to PBS&J, Inc.). These two studies had different collection methodologies, with the AMPO study only considering weighted voting as one of several issues related to policy board structures. A third study conducted by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) in 2010 is also incorporated into the matches is from local government (70%). l The local match may come in the form of annual dues (typically based on population) and/or individual project assessments. l The ability and willingness of local governments to pay a matching amount is challenging due to economic hardship, poor understanding of what the MPO provides, and a reduced willingness to share in the match requirements by state government and toll authorities. WEIGHTED VOTING PROCEDURES l Few MPOs have a weighted voting system but may have multiple representatives from one agency. l When MPOs do have a weighted voting scheme, it is based on population as a rule with every member agency receiving at least one vote. l Voluntary weighted votes are invoked very infrequently. l Quorum requirements should also be considered when developing a voting system to ensure that no one or small group of members can “filibuster” a proposed vote. MEMBER SERVICE AGREEMENTS l Traditional and board meetings were the most popular way for MPOs to communicate their constituents, although newsletters, email, and training opportunities as other options. l Data collection is a service all 12 surveyed MPOs provided to their member agencies; other services included public involvement, meeting facilitation, traffic modeling and GIS/mapping. l Non-member agencies are coordinated with on a regular or occasional basis, but many cited “as needed” to this question. l MPOs regularly rely on non-MPO staff to take a leadership role in various initiatives. Figure 1. Highlights of the Procedures Research MUMPO – Procedures Review discussion of this section, bringing the total number of resources to three. Member Service Arrangements. The primary resource used for this discussion is a survey of 12 peer MPOs (as determined by the Consultant Team and the MPO staff), but is enriched by both the CUTR study as well as an older AMPO study conducted in 2004 (AMPO Survey Results: Institutional Survey). Only the original survey conducted for this study was focused purely on the issue of service provision; the other two resources mentioned important aspects of this question as part of a more comprehensive review of MPO organization practices. Each of the three discussion topics is briefly summarized in a problem statement, and then followed by a discussion of the state-ofthe-practice as expressed by these studies. In no instance was every MPO in the country surveyed, and the number of surveyed MPOs does not allow a blanket statement about the most common or best practice, but only describes how MPOs are engaging certain practices within the limits of the sample frame and specific question presented. ISSUE 1: LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS When a metropolitan planning organization uses federal funds – or allows other agencies to use funds on its behalf – a matching amount is required as an offset. Typically these funds are from the FHWA PL104(F) or FTA 5303 programs, which require a 20% or 10% local match, respectively. In 2004, the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) conducted a survey of 101 MPOs. Three-fourths of the MPOs surveyed derived revenue from more than one source; 29.5% derived revenue from dues paid by member agencies. Of these, 43% reported that the way that dues were calculated were based entirely or partially based on population, the most common form of allocation. Other variables used to assess dues included the following: l Sales, gas, jet fuel, and property taxes l In proportion to jurisdiction’s share of VMT l Voting members on board l Specific needs for the year, based on projects or federal planning funds available l Equally split among entities l Land area l Auto registration l Per hook-up for water and sewer districts l Flat rate About 17% of all MPO revenue was derived from local sources; the remaining 83% was derived from federal, state or other sources. 3 | J. S. Lane Company, LLC MUMPO – Procedures Review Some of these other sources included in-kind (services), transit authority, match on local planning assistance program, toll revenues, and state grants. In at least one case, smaller jurisdictions did not pay a matching requirement. A second survey conducted separately in 2009 by AMPO received 66 responses. Although questions were similar to that in the 2004 survey, the results were not presented in an identical way in the 2009 survey that allows direct comparisons. However, similar revenue sources were cited, and a similar number of local-only (29.85%) sources for matching funds were cited. Again, other sources of match requirements included toll revenues, in-kind services, and states. The 2009 survey did not attempt to provide an average for the amount of budget derived from local sources. The 2009 survey did however note a number of MPOS (53.73%) that cited specific challenges with respect to collecting local government funding, as follows. l Larger projects l Limitations of smaller jurisdictions l Budget cutbacks (many) l General willingness to provide a local match 4 | J. S. Lane Company, LLC l FHWA interpretation that state DOT salaries cannot be used to match PL104(F) funds l Declining toll revenues l Reduction in state participation Implications: In both surveys reviewed, about 70% of the MPOs responding used local funds (the most commonly cited source of revenue) to match federal funding. Other sources of funding included transit agencies, states, and other transportation authorities. Revenues are frequently assessed as a dues payment annually, but may also be charged against specific member services/projects. The ability and willingness of local governments to pay a matching amount is challenging due to economic hardship, poor understanding of what the MPO provides, and a reduced willingness to share in the match requirements by state government and toll authorities. MUMPO – Procedures Review ISSUE 2: WEIGHTED VOTING The second issue studied was how MPO policy boards (MPOs are comprised of one policy and one technical board, although other committees may provide input in an advisory capacity) conducted their voting. Voting rights issues can quickly become convoluted and contentious, particularly when associated issues like quorum requirements and allocations of funds become involved. MPOs are generally thought to rely heavily on a per capita system for determining the weight of voting authority assigned to each member agency (for the purposes of this discussion, we are assuming that all member agencies have at least one vote, although some agencies may have be on the board in an ex-officio capacity). In this instance, weighted voting does not mean that one agency has more than one representative at the MPO table; however, clearly more representation from a single agency implies that there is an additional weight accorded that agency. Not all MPOs employ a weighted voting method, and some only invoke a weighted vote at the request of one or more member agencies. Other MPOs that have voluntary weighted voting never use it. Finally, other issues such as the rotation of board seats among a group of member agencies (e.g., small towns in a single county) may complicate the voting picture. By far the most complete review of MPO structures was conducted by the Center for Urban Transportation Research in a 2010 report titled, “Staffing and Administrative Capacity of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.” Of the 133 MPOs surveyed in this study, only 13.5% actually had a weighted vote capacity, without any correlation between the size of the MPO and its propensity to have a weighted vote. Several MPOs noted that although their bylaws permitted weighted voting it had never been invoked. The authors of the CUTR report note that applying a weighted voting scheme can be problematic due to assigning votes to a statewide or regional agency such as the state DOT or a transit authority. The report further notes that “Proper communication from professional staff, early consideration of board member concerns, and thorough public involvement can minimize divisive votes on the MPO floor. If little or no division exists, the utility of weighted voting is minimal.”(page 2-5, CUTR) When agencies do have weighted voting, it is nearly always based on population. A 5 | J. S. Lane Company, LLC MUMPO – Procedures Review typical situation is that of Metroplan (Little Rock, AR), where any regular member can call for a weighted vote on any issue appearing before the board. When this call is done, the maximum number of votes goes from 27 to 111 and an affirmation must carry 57 votes from at least three member agencies. The Highway Department and transit providers are allowed one vote, and every local government gets one vote regardless of their population. The measure had been in place for 18 years as of the writing of the CUTR report and survey, and had never been used during that entire period. Another MPO practice study was conducted in 2008 for the Hampton Roads MPO (PBS&J, Inc.). Of the 43 responding MPOs, 79% (34) did not report having any weighted voting system (Figure 2). However, a number of respondents without weighted voting were quick to point out that a larger agency may well have more than one representative on the policy board. While it should be noted that weighted voting rarely occurs in minority of MPOs that have the option, it is equally important to observe that if every member agency knows that a weighted vote will favor one or two larger jurisdictions then there will be a reluctance to call for the weighted vote by a smaller 6 | J. S. Lane Company, LLC member agency since the measure might be seen as futile or even hostile. There are some unusual but noteworthy systems for voting. SEMCOG (Detroit, MI) uses a complex polling system that simultaneously records (anonymously) both a weighted and unweighted vote. The Capital District Transportation Committee (Albany, NY) does not vote at all: every action is reached by consensus of the affected parties (determined by the Chairperson) or the issue is remanded back to committee. An older study (2004) conducted by AMPO noted that 33% of the 130 MPOs surveyed had weighted representation; but only 15% had a provision for weighted voting. Of the latter, 60% used population only to determine the weights; 10% by population plus financial contributions; and 30% cited other variables. Forty percent (40%) of those with a weighted vote stated that they always used a weighted vote; 45% said that the weighted voting system was never used or used less than once per year. This study also validated the Capital District Transportation Committee consensus approach, with 52% of the MPOs surveyed stating that consensus is either required (25%) or often used (27%). However, some MPOs inserted comments that qualified the definition of “consensus” as being either a simple majority or being an affirmative vote of all “affected” parties. 21% 79% No Yes Figure 2. Percent of Surveyed MPOs With/Without Weighted Voting (PBS&J, Inc., 2008) MUMPO – Procedures Review This same research also asked about quorum requirements, or the number of members that need to be present to conduct an official meeting and vote on issues. Interestingly, although most of the MPOs cited a simple majority of eligible members being needed to hold a meeting, several MPOs noted that fewer – perhaps only 25% – of the total voting membership needed to be present to conduct an official meeting. Multi-state MPOs definitely complicated some of the quorum rules, such as that presented in the bylaws of DVRPC (Philadelphia, PA): no meeting and hence no votes cast. In this instance, if the quorum requirements are weighted by population (as is the case with the Capital Area MPO in North Carolina), then a large jurisdiction (or small number of jurisdictions) can “filibuster” a proposed vote by simply not attending a meeting. As with weighted voting, such a quorum issue need never be exercised as long as the threat to do so is clearly understood by all the member jurisdictions. “A quorum of the Executive Committee for the purpose of transacting business at any committee meeting shall exist only when there are present, in person, at least three members or alternates from each of the party States including at least two of three State officials or appointees or their alternates from each State. No action of the committee shall be effective or binding unless a majority of each party State’s representatives who are present at such meeting, including at least two of the three State’s officials or appointees or their alternates, shall vote in favor thereof.” Few MPOs have a weighted voting system; however, many MPOs have multiple representatives from one member agency. Quorum requirements can be as important as the weighted representation on the policy board, since without a quorum there can be Implications: When MPOs do have a weighted voting scheme, it is based on population as a rule with every member agency receiving at least one vote. When MPOs do have a voluntary (called) weighted voting option in place, it is used very infrequently. The ability to reach a quorum should also be considered in the development of voting rights, since an inappropriately applied weighted vote to a quorum may result in the ability of one or a small group of members to boycott a proposed vote. 7 | J. S. Lane Company, LLC MUMPO – Procedures Review l 7 identified training classes / seminars / ISSUE 3: MEMBER SERVICES The third and final issue revolved around how MPOs provided services to their member agencies. To acquire this information, twelve peer MPOs were contacted and asked to complete a fourquestion survey as a part of this reporting effort. Question 1 – How does your MPO interact with its members? All 12 MPOs responded to this question which identified 17 methods of interacting with members. The number of MPOs that utilized each method is shown below and in Figure 3. l 12 identified board meetings l 4 identified informal meal meetings l 11 identified temporary task forces l 12 identified standing committees l 8 identified UPWP/ TIP subcommittees l 10 identified website l 7 identified phone conference calls l 4 identified video conferencing l 2 identified phone polling l 11 identified email l 4 identified newsletters l 9 identified newsletters (digital) l 9 identified member orientation classes 8 | J.

Ten responded to this question. Only one responded that they do this “quarterly” while four reported this was done “regularly,” “often,” “occasionally,” or “on occasion as projects require.” The other five MPOs reported that “a number of our standing committees have positions for other community interests, and those representatives participate as full members;” “advisory membership is involved with every aspect;” “we have five non-member agencies that are ex-officio members of our Technical Committee, …several NGOs and non-profit agencies [on a Citizen Advisory Committee]…and [non-MPO agencies] on project steering committees;” [we notify] “non-member agencies about the different MPO meetings and studies to participate…submit comments;” and “at board meetings informal meal meetings temporary task forces standing committees UPWP/ TIP subcommittees website phone conference calls video conferencing phone polling email newsletters newsletters (digital) member orientation classes training classes / seminars / lunch-n-learn retreats individual project committees other methods 0 3 6 9 12 15 Figure 3.
