                      a.  Transportation Improvement Program Revision #8

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a four-year schedule of surface transportation projects and programs for Oahu.  The current TIP covers years 2015-2018.  Twice annually proposed revisions to the TIP are entertained to allow for adjustments that reflect changes in project development and implementation.  Revision #8 is an expedited administrative modification, which means that the proposed changes are relatively minor, but do require Policy Board approval.  The revision can be viewed here: https://www.oahumpo.org/about-mpo/committees/policy-board/policy-board-resources/

Requested Action: Approve Revision #8 to the FFYs 2015-2018 TIP, as presented

                      b.  Draft Oahu Regional Transportation Plan 2040

The Oahu Regional Transportation Plan (ORTP) 2040 is a Federally-required planning document that establishes a long-range vision for surface transportation on Oahu and identifies projects and programs to help achieve that vision.  Projects in the ORTP become eligible for Federal funding assistance.  The ORTP must be updated at least every five years.  The deadline for the next update is April 2016.  OahuMPO staff will present a draft of the ORTP for review and comment by the board prior to releasing the draft for public and intergovernmental review and comment.  The draft ORTP can be viewed here: https://www.oahumpo.org/about-mpo/committees/policy-board/policy-board-resources/

Requested Action: Discuss the draft ORTP 2040 and approve its release for public and intergovernmental review.

                      c.  Draft Overall Work Program for FY2017

The Overall Work Program (OWP) is OahuMPO’s operating budget and also identifies all planning studies, projects, and other work elements upon which staff will work in the coming fiscal year.  A draft of the FY 2017 OWP will be presented for review and comment by the board prior to releasing it for public and intergovernmental review and comments.  The draft FY2017 OWP can be viewed here: https://www.oahumpo.org/about-mpo/committees/policy-board/policy-board-resources/
