27. Identified Needs Form for P6.0
Purpose: Capture “Why” project is submitted
Info used to assist project scoring, cost estimate and NEPA/SEPA (if funded)  feeds Purpose & Need
Required for all projects (all modes)
Worked w/ Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Team to develop
Keep form as simple as possible but capture requested info
Now integrated into SPOT On!ine
Divisions (CDEs & DPEs) ultimately responsible for all forms
Completing forms = joint effort; Divisions will work with you on who initially fills out each form

30. SPOT Panel Q & A

31. SPOT Panel Q & A
Why was my project listed as a Regional Impact project but funded as a Division Needs?

32. How STI Works 40% of Funds 30% of Funds 30% of Funds
Statewide Mobility
Focus  Address Significant Congestion and Bottlenecks
Selection based on 100% Data
Projects Programmed prior to Local Input Ranking
Regional Impact
Focus  Improve Connectivity within Regions
Selection based on 70% Data & 30% Local Input
Funding based on population within Region (7)
Division Needs
Focus  Address Local Needs
Selection based on 50% Data & 50% Local Input
Funding based on equal share for each Division (14)

33. SPOT Panel Q & A
My TAC doesn’t want to allow cascading of Statewide projects to Division Needs, how can I prevent a project from cascading?

34. SPOT Panel Q & A
I’ve always been confused about the Corridor Cap, can you explain in simple terms?
