Program Purpose:

The purposes/goals of the CCMPO sidewalk program are: 1) to provide communities access to federal implementation funds to improve their public sidewalk systems, 2) to advance the development of an integrated sidewalk system using accepted standards and guidelines, and 3) to encourage connections between neighborhoods, schools, parks, town centers and linkages to
other public spaces for the benefit of the non-motorized traveler. While this regional program will assist municipalities with sidewalk construction, other sources through VTrans – the Enhancements and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Programs – can also be utilized for the planning, design and construction of sidewalks. The CCMPO program is intended to provide a supplement to these programs.

Due Date:

Proposals are due by Fri 8 Jul 2011.

Due to CCMPO workload and that the funding for the sidewalk grants will not be available until 1 Oct 2011. Therefore the due date for Sidewalk Grant applications has been shifted from Fri 3 Jun 2011 to Fri 8 Jul 2011. Our apologies if this change poses any difficulties. Please share this with others in your community working on an application and call if you have any questions.

In 2004 a joint personnel policy manual was developed for the two organizations. Each organization adopted the personnel policy with slight independent adjustments occurring since then. In conjunction with this, the Executive Committees asked that a salary study be undertaken. That study was completed in 2005 and forms the basis for current salary ranges for each of the positions.

CCMPO currently has nine full time employees and one part time employee. CCRPC has a staff of nine full-time professionals and an intern.

It is a goal of the CCRPC and CCMPO Joint Executive Committee to consider one set of salary ranges for both organizations with common job descriptions and equivalent benefits. The salary ranges have been updated annually by CCMPO and were updated earlier in 2009 by CCRPC. Each year the benefits have also been reviewed and adjusted by CCMPO and CCRPC independently. A decision on any change in health insurance will be made before the end of the calendar year. We will share any change in health benefits with the consultant as soon as it is available.

The future estimate of funding resources is one part of the financial plan section of the MTP. In addition, the operating and maintenance needs of the current system – roads, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, inter-modal facilities, and transit assets and services – need to be accounted for and factored into the financial analysis. The costs of system maintenance/operations need to be set aside from the estimate of total future funds. The balance of funding will be applied to committed projects (those identified in the CCMPO’s Transportation Improvement Program(TIP)), and new projects and strategies.

Proposal Requirements:

Proposals are due by 4:30 pm on Friday, April 25, 2008. For the complete proposal & requirements, please download the full RFP document linked here.

The CCMPO intends to use a scenario planning approach for this MTP update. Scenario planning
relies on substantial public outreach early in the planning process to assist planners in
understanding the region’s broad range of concerns and aspirations for the future.

The CCMPO has developed a robust transportation demand model which we expect to be
employed extensively in scenario analysis. Our sister organization, the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), will also play a role in our MTP. Their participation will focus on the analysis of existing conditions, as well as population and employment forecasts. CCRPC staff expertise in visualization and GIS tools, will also factor into visioning, public outreach, and scenario development.

The CCMPO seeks consultant services to assist with and conduct a community visioning exercise;
followed by assistance with scenario development and consensus building on the selected
scenarios. Given that funding is constrained and no one scenario can be truly certain, the final MTP recommendations should be reasonable, prudent and comprehensive enough to be effective under a variety of possible futures.

RFQ Requirements:

Qualifications are due by 4:30 pm on Friday, April 25, 2008. Please submit seven (7) copies of the firm’s qualifications.

Hinesburg’s quest for public transportation has been underway for over a year and has included discussions with an extensive array of interested parties including: Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR), Special Service Transportation Agency (SSTA), Chittenden County Transportation Authority (CCTA), Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO), On-The-Go Transportation, Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD), VTrans, MORF Transit, Riders of Vermont (RoVer), the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging, American Cancer Society, Fletcher Allen Dialysis Department, Hinesburg Resource Center, Lund Family Center, Champlain Islanders Developing Essential Resources (CIDER), local employers, neighboring towns (Bristol, Monkton, and Starksboro), local officials, and local schools and churches. Meeting discussion topics were comprehensive and varied, including: potential routes, rideshare programs, vanpools, fixed route transit providers, on-demand transit providers, volunteer driver programs, service charges, and potential funding sources.

A survey was also sent to all Hinesburg residents asking them about their transportation views. Results clearly showed that there was a need for such services as well as a desire for a place to centralize information about available transportation options.

With encouragement from VTrans, the Town decided to apply for a Federal United We Ride grant to better define and begin funding Hinesburg transit service through some combination of existing providers, both public and private, and via a volunteer driver program.

Project Goal:

Through an examination and analysis of available and expected transportation providers and resources, devise and assist with implementing a coordinated operations plan that will result in public transportation services for Hinesburg residents and employers.
