Motion by: Chuck George Seconded by: Michael Abuya Vote: For: Unanimous Against: None Information Items 4. Town of Kernersville Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) Amendment Request. Greg Venable reported attached is a request from the Town of Kernersville to amendment the HPMPO CTP. Kernersville is currently working on a business park development that is in HPMPO and WSMPO. It will create an opportunity for a Minor Thoroughfare to connect Macy Grove Road and the US 421/Macy Grove Road interchange to Bunker Hill Road. If HPMPO CTP is amended, the Town will then request WSMPO to amend their CTP. If adopted on both CTPs, the Town will pursue a Federal Functional Classification. 5. Safety Performance Measures – FHWA Assessment and 2022 Targets. John Hanes reported these targets are established annually, are based on 5 year rolling averages, and are for calendar years. We have been adopting the NCDOT safety measures. Table 1-shows the 5-year running average of North Carolina safety 3 performance targets, which none have been achieved except the fatality rate which is better than baseline. Table 2-shows High Point MPO’s safety target measurements over the last 5 years. Along with North Carolina we have been improving the fatality rate, but none of the targets have been achieved. Table 3 shows 2022 safety performance targets for number of fatalities, rate of fatalities, number of serious injuries, rate of serious injuries, and number of non-motorized fatalities & serious injuries that NCDOT looks to achieve. Table 4 is the running 5-year averages for High Point MPO starting in 2008 to 2020 including the 2022 safety target rates in the five categories. We are allowed to adopt the states or create our own. However, we are again going to adopt the states safety targets. These need to be approved and sent to the state by the end of January. 6. Draft 2022-2023 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). The UPWP is the MPO’s annual budget and work plan. It lists the planning tasks that staff expects to perform and the work products that we expect to produce during the fiscal year. Our fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th of next year. The work program consists of three major divisions: surveillance of change, long-range planning, and administration. Each major division includes several line items under which the MPO can perform work. Each line item includes explanatory text describing the customary work items for the line item, the rationale for performing the work, how much money we plan to spend on the line item and the work products that the MPO expects to produce during the upcoming year. The UPWP also includes a series of tables showing the sources of the funds used, the amount of federal funds used, the amount of the local match, and total expenditures for each line item from each funding source. The DRAFT 2022-2023 UPWP will be sent in a separate email. 7. 2023 CMAQ Funding Call for Projects. John Hanes reported the project submittal window ended November 1. One project, City of High Point – signal timing $600,000 project for selected signals has been submitted. Action will be taken in January at the TCC & TAC meetings. Agency Reports Item 8: NCDOT Division Reports Division 7 Stephen Robinson reported the Kersey Valley Road at NC 62 project let date has been pushed out from December of 2022 to April of 2023. The bridge over Richland Creek on Jackson Lake Road has been pushed from 2023 to a start date to November 2024. Division 8 Bryan Kluchar reported project U-3400 let date is November 2025 and not August 2025. 4 Division 9 Fred Haith had no updates.

Brandon reported he will be working with the North Carolina Division Office as Community Planner. Item 11: Public Transportation Reports High Point Transit System Andrew Edmonds had no updates. Davidson County Transportation No one present. RCATS Tawanna Williams reported RCATS is very busy and short staffed. PART Mark Kirstner reported we have been on the streets with the household survey, which is an input of the Travel Demand Model. We have received two proposals and we will be going through the selection process this month. Hopefully this project can kick off in January 2022. We will do a pilot project in the Spring and the full survey in the Fall. While this is not an input to the model; it will provide a lot of information and data about household trave throughout our whole region. From a transit standpoint we also have an RFP out for real time passenger information system, which a number of systems are participating, and the responses are due back on Friday. Hopefully given some of our transit systems an opportunity to implement some new technology in the region over the next year to year and half. We also have a freight study that is ongoing. We have developed a tour-based freight model and that model needs some local driver survey data. We started in 2019 trying to collect this data but have not been successful in getting the number of surveys we needed. Then the pandemic hit, and we have been back at it and have had a few small successes. 5 We have spent around $500,000 to get to this point. If you know anyone who drives a truck, please let us give them a call for a 3-day survey where they can earn $100. It is an app on your phone where you will turn it on in the morning and it tracks their movements throughout the day and in the evening, they answer a few questions. This is a critical piece for us and the state planning as well. As for timing we need to get this wrapped up by the end of the year. There is some post processing of all the data and this contract will end on June 30, 2022. We have the contractor coming to the region in early December; because we do have a few companies that have agreed to participate. The contractor will go to the facility and show them how to set up the app. Item 12: Other Business Greg Venable added for the TAC meeting next week. It will be in person TAC staff only and everyone else will be virtual. 6  TCC Meeting Meeting Date 1/18/2022 Agenda Item No. 2 Action Requested Recommendation Section Tab Safety Performance Measures – FHWA Assessment and 2022 Targets (Greg Venable) Information Summary Attachments Yes No NCDOT is recommending to MPOs approve safety performance measure targets for 2022 that are consistent with NCDOT targets.

TCC Vote: Motion Second By:__________________ By:_______________________ Vote: For_______________________ Against________________________ 19  Advancing Clean Energy for a Sustainable Economy NC Clean Energy Technology Center is Exploring Creating a Clean Cities Coalition for Unrepresented Regions of North Carolina What are Clean Cities Coalitions? The Clean Cities Coalitions were originally created by the U.S. Department of Energy in order to reduce reliance on petroleum products and improve air quality. Clean Cities coalitions do this by convening partnerships of public and private stakeholders to share information and resources regarding alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies that reduce fuel use and related air pollution. Why is there a need for a fourth Clean Cities Coalition in North Carolina? Large swaths of North Carolina are currently unrepresented by Clean Cities Coalitions. These areas have less access to the support services offered by Clean Cities Coalitions. North Carolina (NC) has three Clean Cities Coalitions, represented by three Regional Councils of Governments, representing 44% of NC’s population, around the Asheville, Charlotte, and Raleigh-Durham metro areas. The North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) is seeking partners to form an additional Clean Cities Coalition to provide alternative fuel initiatives to rural and underserved communities in the Eastern, Northeastern, and Central regions and will reach an additional 45% of North Carolina’s population. Background on the NC Clean Energy Technology Center The NC Clean Energy Technology Center is located on North Carolina State University’s (NCSU) campus in the College of Engineering, and is one of two land-grant universities in North Carolina. NCSU’s Cooperative Extension offices operate in all 100 counties in North Carolina, providing resources and training to the public on topics such as agriculture and natural resource management. NCCETC’s mission is to advance a sustainable energy economy by educating, demonstrating, and providing support for clean energy technologies, practices, and policies. NCCETC has over 30 years of experience in forming partnerships and providing technical assistance with industries, academia, governments, profit, and nonprofit organizations. NCCETC already manages education and outreach activities related to clean transportation, such as the annual Sustainable Fleet Technology Conference & Expo, alternative fuel vehicle demonstrations and ride and drives, and online webinars on topics related to sustainable fleet management. 20 North Carolina State University | College of Engineering | 919-515-3480 | www.nccleantech.ncsu.edu  How can my organization be involved? By joining our coalition as a stakeholder, you will be supporting the clean fleets, alternative fuels, and sustainable transportation across North Carolina. As a fleet, you have access to resources that will provide guidance on ways that you can improve the efficiency and sustainability of your vehicles. As a manufacturer or trade organization, you will have access to a network of partners and organizations that are expanding their infrastructure and fleets. Our staff can also provide assistance by providing advice on available technologies and available grant funds that can be applied for to help offset the costs of installing new technologies. There will be quarterly stakeholder meetings that you can attend in person or virtually to learn more about these technologies and network with others in your region who are also working to improve the sustainability of their vehicle fleets.
