2. 0-100 points Describe how the project will have a beneficial impact on the <br />transportation system, the community where it is located or the <br />environment. <br />3. 0-100 points Describe the project's proximity to the following: <br />a) principal and "A" minor arterials; <br />b) public transit routes, hubs and terminals; <br />c) railroads, ports, and intermodal terminals; <br />d) bikeways and pedestrian facilities; and <br />e) population and job concentrations likely to use or benefit from the <br />project. <br />B. <br />Projects with components that have already been funded <br />and/or implemented from other funding sources. <br />150 points <br />1. 0-150 points There may be a number of larger projects which are missing a key or <br />final element. Funding these missing elements with Enhancement funds <br />could provide a sort of synergistic benefit which goes beyond the <br />immediate benefits provided by the component which is funded. <br />Examples include such things as bike or pedestrian trail segments that fill <br />gaps in existing trails, historic preservation that completes the restoration <br />of an historic site or property that has already been partially or <br />substantially restored, and landscaping that completes an original concept <br />or plan element that was not installed earlier due to funding constraints. <br />Project applicants must look at their projects in light of the general <br />concept identified here and describe how their project fits into a larger <br />project, concept, or plan which has been or soon will be implemented <br />using another funding source. <br />C. <br />Multiple activities. <br />I50 points <br />D. <br />There are 12 eligible categories of projects identified in the TEA-21 guidance on Transportation <br />Enhancements (dated December 17, 1999). With limited funding available it makes sense to give <br />some funding priority to projects that accomplish multiple objectives. One generic example would <br />be a bicycle/pedestrian path that includes some landscaping and restoration of an historic structure <br />adjacent to it. <br />The applicant must describe how many of the twelve eligible activities will be included in the <br />proposed project and describe the relationship. <br />Projects which demonstrate more than a local benefit. <br />300 points <br />0-300 points The applicant must provide evidence on how the project has more than a <br />local benefit. Priority will be given to projects that benefit more than one <br />community or county, or are recognized as having regional, statewide or <br />national significance. To determine the hnpact of a project, applicants can <br />estimate total annual usage, origination of users, seasonal usage, etc... <br />Examples of projects that have more than a local benefit include: <br />• A bike hail project that is part of a county, regional or state trail system, <br />or one that links different trail systems together; <br />Draft 71 04/30/01 <br />
