<br />MTP FOllOW-UP ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />Several planning and monitoring activities are recommended for Metro COG and its <br />participating jurisdictions over the five years following adoption of this MTP. These activities <br />are intended to enhance and facilitate the 2008 update of the MTP, They include the following: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Continue conducting sub-area traffic and corridor studies to address specific transportation <br />concerns and urban growth issues as they are identified. <br /> <br />2, <br /> <br />Monitor, using the recently established COG Modeling Committee, state-of-the-art <br />transportation forecasting methods, to identify new approaches, software, or data needs that <br />will be required to conduct an update of the model. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Continue working with the participating jurisdictions, NDDOT and Mn/DOT to improve <br />the regularity, compatibility and reliability of data inputs into the GIS system. Determine if <br />land use data as the basis for modeling is feasible, given the existing level to which <br />development is monitored and reported. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Incorporate into the annual preparation of Metro COG's Surveillance and Monitoring <br />program, a project status of the MTP's short and long-range project, so that by 2008, <br />project completion is readily available and up-to-date. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Continue to encourage local jurisdictions to promote a consistent approach to such key <br />transportation issues as: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />access management <br />corridor preservation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />subdivision regulations related to transportation <br />transit <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />travel demand management <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Continue to monitor changes in the existing transportation facilities' condition or status, to <br />simplify data gathering efforts for the 2008 update of the MTP. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />Program short range MTP projects into the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement <br />Program (TIP), based on local and state DOT support. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />Monitor short and long-range project status, and prepare MTP amendments if justified by <br />new information, need, revised local priorities, or screening factor updates, <br /> <br />Executive Summary - Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan Update <br />Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments <br /> <br />June 2004 <br />Page 27 <br />
