2 Agenda Program Overview Project Development Project Types and Deliverables Project Examples Summary / Next Steps

3 Program Overview VDOT STARS Program

4 STARS Program VDOT planning program created 10 years ago Program to develop solutions to reduce crashes and congestion bottlenecks using a data-driven approach Develop comprehensive, innovative transportation solutions Overall goal of STARS is to develop solutions that can be programmed in the VDOT Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) Track implementation

5 Developing Candidate Projects

6 VDOT Business Plan STARS Program Performance measure: Maximize the programming and construction of STARS Program recommendations Goal: Continue advancing 50% or more of the STARS recommendations as projects in the SYIP 73% Success rate $343 million in SMART SCALE funds

7 The STARS Team VDOT Districts and Residencies Coordinate with localities, MPOs, and PDCs Submit STARS applications Lead STARS projects Coordinate with consultant team VDOT Central Office Provides program oversight, data analysis, and application review Consultants Provide project support

8 STARS Approach Links planning to operations/its, safety and design Accelerates process of planning to design Involves other disciplines in the planning process Improves thoroughness of scope and accuracy of cost estimates and schedules

9 STARS Studies Richmond MPO 2007 to Today STARS I: 20 STARS II: 2 STARS III: 4

29 VDOT STARS Program Summary / Next Steps

30 Project Readiness Challenge Before SMART SCALE, projects could receive $ allocations and project details could be developed during PE phase Under SMART SCALE, projects need to be adequately planned and developed Project details are needed to 1) understand the scope, 2) develop an accurate cost estimate and 3) calculate the expected benefits Change to project scope and/or estimate after it is funded could trigger reevaluation and rescoring More complex projects require more thorough planning Often overlooked:

31 Why is STARS Important in Project Delivery Data driven process Provides a source of current data Develops more vetted solutions that can be funded in the SYIP Improves project readiness for funding Improves accuracy of cost estimates and schedules

32 RRTPO Involvement Provide suggestions to Richmond District Planner on potential STARS study locations Assist with developing the STARS study framework Participate as stakeholders in ongoing study efforts to help shape project recommendations Regional support for projects resolutions of support are needed for SMART SCALE funding Seek funding for implementation of recommendations (RSTP, CMAQ, SMART SCALE)
