V. CATSO METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) UPDATE - DRAFT PLAN  
OVERVIEW  
Shawn Leight and Mike Albin from Crawford, Bunte and Brammeier (CBB), the  
CATSO consultant preparing the 2055 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)  
gave an overview presentation on the proposed MTP. Leight noted that one of  
the criticisms of previous plans was  
a
lack of public engagement, and CBB  
made a particular effort to do more activities to facilitate public input. This was  
done through MTP stakeholder interviews, public meetings, and online surveys.  
Albin discussed the land use /employment projections, financial projections,  
proposed future studies, and other aspects of the proposed MTP. The financial  
projections are done for the first four fiscal years, and then for the remainder  
of the MTP scope period. Unlike previous plans, there is no need to do 5 or 10  
year bands for specific projects/financial projections. Also noted was the  
alternative level of service (LOS) for multimodal transportation. It was  
suggested that the word “alternative” be removed in order to clarify what this  
LOS framework is intended to accomplish.
