WACCAMAW REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS RURAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Waccamaw Regional Council of Governments (WRCOG) is the designated Rural Planning Organization (RPO) responsible for carrying out the rural transportation planning process for the Waccamaw region. The WRCOG rural study area boundary includes the western portions of Horry and Georgetown counties, and the entirety of Williamsburg County. More specifically, the rural area includes all portions of the three counties that are not included in the MPO region (See map below). Several municipalities lay within the boundaries, including: Andrews, Aynor, Conway (partially), Greeleyville, Hemingway, Kingstree, Lane, Loris, and Stuckey.

The primary responsibilities concerning rural area planning are to:

• Develop a Rural Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which is the 25 year transportation vision for the rural area;

• Develop a Rural Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which is the list of specific projects for which federal and state funds are anticipated; and

• Develop a Rural Planning Work Program (RPWP), which identifies the annual transportation planning activities that are to be undertaken in support of the goals and objectives established in the Long Range Transportation Plan.

As the RPO, WRCOG provides the forum for cooperative decision making regional transportation plans and programs to meet the changing needs. It is composed of elected and appointed officials representing local, state, and federal governments or agencies having interest or responsibility in comprehensive transportation planning.

of 47

RURAL PLANNING STRUCTURE

To facilitate and encourage maximum interaction among these groups and the local community, WRCOG has an adopted committee structure. The Policy Committee (WRCOG Board of Directors), as the official decision making body, establishes the policies for the overall conduct of WRCOG and is responsible for the adoption of plans and programs and reviews the rural technical committees’ recommendations.

The Technical Committee, which was established by the Policy Committee, is composed of the professional/technical representatives of the municipalities and agencies that lie within the region. These member governments and public agencies often have direct or indirect responsibilities for transportation planning and/or implementation procedures. Their primary responsibility is to monitor all technical activities including the annual development of a draft RPWP and biennial development of a draft TIP. They also provide recommendations to the Policy Committee for final endorsement of all major studies and planning activities affecting the rural areas.

Rural Long Range Transportation Plan

The Rural Long Range Transportation Plan was adopted by the Rural Policy Committee (WRCOG Board of Directors) in 2016 and must be updated every five years to reflect changing conditions and new planning principles. The Rural LRTP document established goals and objectives, which form the basis for the initial evaluation of projects submitted for the Rural TIP. The process of undertaking major transportation studies, identifying short and long-range needs, and targeting major growth areas in the rural region for intensive study has strengthened programming methods and procedures for the Rural TIP. The entire planning/programming/implementation process involves input by federal, state and local governments and the public in the early planning stages. This support carries through into TIP programming. The Rural LRTP will be updated in 2021.

Rural Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

This Rural TIP is a three-year program of transportation capital projects together with a three-year estimate of transit capital and maintenance requirements. While the Rural TIP is usually approved biennially, the document may be amended throughout the year. The Fast Act mandates that a TIP include the following:

• Identify transportation improvement projects recommended for advancement during the program years. The projects required are those located within the study area and receiving Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds;

• Identify the criteria and process for prioritization for inclusion of projects in the TIP and any changes from past TIPs;

• Group improvements of similar urgency and anticipated staging into appropriate staging periods;

• Include realistic estimates of total costs and revenue for the program period;

• Include a discussion of how improvements recommended from the LRTP were merged into the TIP; and

of 47

• List major projects from the previous TIPs that were implemented and identify major delays in planned implementation.

The TIP may also include regional highway projects that are being implemented by the state, city and county for which federal funding is requested.

Relationship of the TIP to Other Federal and State Transportation Programs

Just as federal regulations require each rural planning organization to develop a Rural TIP, each state is required to develop a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP includes all federally funded transportation projects throughout the state. In South Carolina, TIPs are included in the STIP without modification once approved by the relevant rural planning organization. Projects must be in the STIP before funding authorities such as FTA, FHWA, or the SCDOT can obligate funds.

RURAL TIP AMENDMENT PROCESS AND PROCEDURES

Occasionally circumstances dictate that changes are made to the Rural TIP following its biennial adoption. Federal regulations permit changes to the Rural TIP if the procedures are consistent with federal requirements for TIP development and approval. These changes, or amendments, are not routine. WRCOG will consider such amendments when the circumstances prompting such changes are compelling.

Proposed changes will be reviewed by WRCOG staff before any actions are considered. All changes must follow WRCOG policies on the Public Involvement Process. Changes must be consistent with the Rural LRTP, must maintain the financial constraint of the Rural TIP, and must be consistent with federal Title VI requirements. Proposed additions or changes to projects must also be consistent with the rules of the particular funding program involved.

Once new projects proposed for funding are identified, and the funding is committed, staff initiates the process to amend the projects and project funding in the Rural TIP. All rules for amending the new projects in the Rural TIP are followed (Public Participation Process, Title VI requirements, LRTP consistency, financial constraints, etc.).

When WRCOG is not involved in the programming decision associated with a project, staff relies on project sponsors to initiate a TIP amendment. If WRCOG is aware of new funding (i.e. federal earmarks, one-time state funding programs, etc.), staff may alert sponsors of the funding opportunities and request that an amendment be initiated that more fully documents the project scope and funding commitment. Generally, however, it is up to the project sponsor to initiate an amendment request or add new funding, or make necessary adjustments to the project scope, cost, and/or schedule.

All regionally significant transportation projects and all transportation projects requiring a federal action must be included in the Rural TIP. These projects may be added to the Rural TIP at any time, as long as procedures for doing so are consistent with federal requirements for Rural TIP development and approval.

of 47

Types of TIP Amendments

Federal and State policies distinguish between two types of TIP amendments: minor amendments and major amendments. These types of amendments differ based on the magnitude of the proposed change and the level of review required by various federal, state and local agencies. As a general rule, significant changes to the cost, scope, and schedule of a project listing requires a major amendment, whereas minor changes such as fluid sources, description, lead agency, project limits, may be processed through minor amendments. Major Amendments must be approved by the Policy Committee, the SCDOT, FHWA, and FTA. Approval of minor amendments has been delegated to WRCOG Transportation Planning and the SCDOT Office of Planning. Regardless of the type of change, all modifications must be consistent with the LRTP, must maintain the financial constraint of the Rural TIP, and must be consistent with federal requirements.

Minor Amendments

Minor amendments are changes that revise project descriptions and funding sources. Other types of changes that can be made through a minor amendment are changes to a project’s lead agency, changes that split or combine more than one project, and changes to require information for grouped project listings. They take about 30 days to process and need to be approved by the WRCOG Transportation Planning Director and the SCDOT Office of Statewide Planning.

The following changes may be made through a minor amendment, as long as the change occurs within the approved timeframe of the TIP:

• Change in project sponsor or implementing agency; • Splitting or combining projects; • Change or clarification of project description- as long as the change does not significantly alter

the original project intent as identified through the environmental process. Changes in project limits must be within 10% of the total project length, not to exceed a total of two miles;

• Redirection of funds between existing phases, as long as a phase is not added or deleted; and • Federal public involvement procedures are not necessary for a minor change.

Federal public participation procedures required by 23 CFR 450.316 are not necessary for minor changes.

Major Amendment

Major amendments are changes other than minor amendments as described. Major amendments usually take about 90 days to process and need to be approved by the WRCOG Board of Directors, SCDOT, FHWA, and FTA. Adding or deleting a project or a change in funding is considered a major amendment.

Proposed amendments to the Rural TIP, other than minor amendments, must be developed pursuant to all federal guidelines. In general terms, these regulations state the Rural TIP may be modified at any time consistent with the procedures agreed to by the cooperating parties for developing the Rural TIP and all

of 47

other federal requirements concerning the development, public involvement, and federal agencies approval of the Rural TIP.

The interagency consultation or coordination requirements will be followed for all major amendments to the Rural TIP. In some instances, it may be necessary to perform the air quality conformity analysis to evaluate impacts to the Rural TIP prior to approval of an amendment.

All changes that do not fall within the category of a minor amendment are processed as major amendments. The following changes are examples of changes made through a major amendment:

• Adding or deleting project(s); • Funding changes; • Adding or deleting a project phase; and • Significant changes in project scope, so as to alter the original intent of the project.

These amendment classifications and procedures are consistent with the statewide Rural TIP Guidelines SCDOT, FHWA, FTA. It is intended that WRCOG Rural TIP Amendment Process and Procedures adhere to the provisions of the Statewide Rural TIP Guidelines.

Rural TIP Amendment Request Submittal

To request a Rural TIP amendment, a project sponsor must submit an amendment proposal, requesting to amend the Rural TIP. WRCOG programming staff will review the submitted request for compliance with federal regulations, state statues and regional policies, including funding completeness, impacts to air quality, financial constraint, and compliance with other federal, state, and regional requirements before approving the submitted application or amendment. If the proposal is found not to conform to the funding program guidelines or is inconsistent with the financial constraint of the Rural TIP, the proposal may not be processed.

Proposed additions or changes to projects contained in the Rural TIP must also conform to the amendment rules of the funding program involved (i.e. if the project is funded with guideshare funds, it must also conform to the federal and state amendment guidelines before it can be processed).
