5) FY 2019 — FY 2022 Transportation Improvement Program
-Staff has developed the FY2019-FY2022 TIP for approval. The TIP development process
is being accelerated this year because TIP's adopted after May 27, 2018 need to be FAST
Act compliant. This requires that every project in the TIP have a description of how the
project advances the achievement of performance targets identified in the State Long -
Range Transportation Plan and our own Metropolitan Transportation Plan. We have
included all of the Category Two projects that were identified and adopted by the MPO,
worked with TxDOT on Grouped Projects, and with BTD on the Transit Projects. Action
Required. (See attachment.)

6) Roadway System Performance (PM 3) Target Setting
-The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is required to set statewide targets for
roadway system performance in four areas by the end of May. As a first step, TxDOT asked
the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to develop suggested targets for each MPO.
TxDOT has now requested that each MPO review TTI's suggested system performance
targets and develop preliminary targets. TxDOT will then compile all MPO preliminary
targets, confer with the TxDOT Executive Director, and then submit the targets to the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by May 27, 2018. Our MPO will then have 180
days from May 27 to finalize our target which will then be transmitted to FHWA. Although
there are four areas in which targets will need to be set, our MPO only needs to review
one target (Level of Travel Time Reliability for Non -Interstates) since we do not have an
interstate nor is our area population 1, 000, 000 or greater. Action Required. (See
attachments.)
7) Presentation on Upcoming 2020 Census and Potential Impact on Brazos County
-Mr. Michael Parks, AICP of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments and Mr. Daniel
Rudge of the BCSMPO will provide an overview of the 2020 Census, what activities have
been undertaken to prepare for the Census and what issues Brazos County may face during
the Census process.
8) Executive Session - Pursuant to Chapter 551, Subchapter D, Texas Government Code
-As authorized by Texas Government Code Section 551.074, at any time during the meeting
of the Bryan/College Station MPO Policy Board, the Board reserves the right to adjourn
