Background:The Planning and Development Department provides transportation planning services for the Augusta Regional Transportation Study (ARTS). The scope of these services is outlined in the ARTS Unified Planning Work Program, and funding for them is subject to renewal each year through a contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation. Analysis:Approving the contract will ensure continued funding for the Augusta Regional Transportation Study activities included in the ARTS Unified Planning Work Program and provided by staff of the Planning & Development Department. Financial Impact:The contract stipulates that the Georgia Department of Transportation will reimburse the city for eighty percent (80%) of the eligible costs incurred for providing regional transportation planning services. The funding amount is almost identical to the funding level last year, so that the twenty percent (20%) local match will be the same as in the 2016 budget for the Planning and Development department.
