• Safe Streets and Roads For All (SS4A) Discretionary Grant Program
• Updates to the Public Participation Procedures and Congestion Management Process
• 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan Development
6) Limited English Proficiency Plan
-Every few years, MPOs are required to review public participation documents to determine if
new research or products could improve how the public interacts with the MPO and the documents
the MPO produces. While much of our Limited English Proficiency Plan is unchanged, it has been
10 years since the document was reviewed and readopted. In keeping with the spirit and intent of
federal and state requirements staff updated the plan and now needs the document to be reviewed
and adopted. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has recommended the updated Limited
English Proficiency Plan to the Policy Board for adoption. Action Required. (See attachment.)
7) TMA Transition White Paper
- In cooperation with Brazos Transit District, staff has developed a white paper for the Policy
Board to explain the TMA transition process. This includes new requirements (development of a
congestion management process, increased Federal Highway and Federal Transit
Administration's scrutiny and addition of a public transit representative to the policy board) and
access to Category 7 (Metropolitan Mobility) and Category 9 (Transportation Enhancements).
The TAC has reviewed the white paper and determined the white paper should be forwarded to
the Policy Board as information. (See attachment.)
