QUESTIONS

• How to make infrastructure changes to property SEPTA

does not own?

• How to brand a new transit mode?

• How to coordinate with other stakeholders, property owners, and the general public?

• How to pay for the costs of design, construction, and operation?

ROUTE FOR CHANGE

Effort to develop a series of improvements to create a more inviting corridor that is safe, accessible, and reliable for all users including residents, pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and visitors. All major parties on the same page and at the table Big picture and shorter-term actions

Interim Action – Establishing Enhanced Bus Service on Roosevelt

Boulevard

Covers construction of 10 stations on Roosevelt Boulevard – city only Station design is a cooperative effort between City/SEPTA

Station must allow for “enhanced” and local service Station design must include considerations for transferring services

DVRPC SELF CERTIFICATION

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION

PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING

PROCESS

DVRPC Board

Meeting

Action Proposed

That the Board adopt Resolution No. B-FY17-006 certifying that the DVRPC Metropolitan Transportation Planning and Programming Process is in conformance with federal regulations implementing the FAST Act, MAP-21, the Clean Air Act Amendments, and other federal legislation.

DVRPC SELF CERTIFICATION OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

PROCESS

Safety Peer Exchange, Ohio - May 11, 2010

DVRPC Nonprofits - Authorization to Proceed

RTC – June 13, 2017

Brief History of Nonprofit Idea Conversation

• Considered internally in early 2000s to pursue additional watershed-wide environmental planning

• Funding support from William Penn Foundation tabled the idea at that time

• Discussed in winter of 2016 with overview of other MPOs’ nonprofit subsidiaries

• Revisited at February 2017 Board Policy Committee and subsequent follow up discussions

Why Consider a Nonprofit Arm of DVRPC?

• Federal and State funding for planning initiatives may not continue at the same level as in the past

• DVRPC has expertise in planning that serves the region well, new approaches may be needed to continue to serve that role

• As an MPO, DVRPC is not eligible for funding from many foundations and some government agencies, whereas nonprofits are eligible

• Other MPOs successfully utilize their nonprofit status to provide services to their region

• A nonprofit can support certain initiatives and priorities outside the existing MPO structure

What Can’t We Do Now?

• DVRPC is not eligible to apply to many foundations, including Ford, Claneil, and Surdna, which only grant to nonprofits – Many foundations focus on healthy communities and

sustainability, DVRPC strengths • Certain state agencies, such as PA DCNR, do not

consider DVRPC an eligible applicant, which must be nonprofit or local government

• Anticipate possible future government funding limitations for equity through access, climate change adaptation, smart growth, healthy community, etc.

MPO Examples with Nonprofit Arms

• Kansas City/MARC (Mid-America Regional Council) established Community Service Corp in 2004

• Hartford/CRCOG (Capitol Region Council of Governments) established CRCOG Foundation in 2005

• San Diego/SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) established SourcePoint in 1982

• Also: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Boston, Austin and Chicago (under development)

Proposed Structure

• Separate 501c3 for PA and NJ counties • Board members for each = DVRPC Board reps for

each county • Meet after DVRPC Board Executive Committee

on schedule TBD, not less than annually • Actions approved by unanimous vote • Staffed by existing DVRPC planning and admin

staff

Set Up and Ongoing Costs of Nonprofits

• One-time set up fees of $5,000 - $10,000 for 501c3 applications to IRS plus attorney fees

• Minimal yearly audit fee and administrative costs, folded into existing administrative functions

• No additional staff or overhead costs • All fees to come from General Fund – no

additional costs to member governments

Project Ideas for New 501c3s

• Pass through funding to counties for projects via new grants

• Trail Sponsor for completing gaps in the Circuit, where local sponsor is unavailable

• Healthy Community Planning in more areas • Facilitate more shared services agreements, like

Regional Streetlight Procurement Program • New opportunities yet to be identified

Action Requested

• Recommend that the Board authorize DVRPC staff to develop the draft mission statement, By-Laws, and proposed Articles of Incorporation for two nonprofit organizations, to serve the 5 PA counties and the 4 NJ counties in partnership with DVRPC. Final approval to create the organizations will be subject to subsequent Board action.

New Jersey Transportation Alternatives

Program (TAP)

Katrina Lawrence Office of Project Implementation

What is TAP ➢TAP program was established by Congress in 2012

Eligible TAP Activities ➢Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities ➢Conversion of abandoned railroad corridors for

trails ➢Construction of Scenic Turnouts, Overlooks, and

Viewing Areas ➢Historic preservation and rehabilitation of

historic transportation facilities

streetscaping and corridor landscaping ➢Environmental mitigation to address stormwater ➢Wildlife mortality mitigation

Selection Process ➢DVRPC Review Committee

▪ Four New Jersey Counties and NJDOT

➢Selection Criteria ▪ Developed by the 3 New Jersey MPOs and NJDOT

➢Application Period (August 5, 2016 – November 10, 2016)

REQUESTED ACTION Staff requests the RTC to recommend authorization to open a minimum 30-day public comment period for the purpose of gathering public and agency comments for:

• Draft Connections 2045 Long-Range Plan,

• Draft FY 2018 TIP for New Jersey, and

• Draft Conformity Finding of the Connections 2045 Long-Range Plan, FY 2017 TIP for Pennsylvania, and FY 2018 TIP for New Jersey;
