Mr. Grovdahl stated that TEA-21 is the current federal transportation bill that determines how much money all areas in the country will receive. TEA-21 is coming up for reauthorization in 2003. Before the money flows to each area, the members of Congress get the opportunity to "earmark" certain projects within their own districts that are of great interest to their constituents, Consequently, METRO PLAN ORLANDO prepared a list of projects that will be submitted to the region's congressional delegation as prospective project for "earmarking. " Mr. Harris stated that if this reauthorization is approved, he would like to see these projects and any additional projects that come forward, incorporate the results of the Freight, Goods and Services Strategy Plan with respect to looking at the arteries and intersection design. This would entail looking at everything needed to enable the arteries to handle freight, so that communities have the smooth flow of freight, goods and services into, through and out of the region, He stated that if these requirements are not built in when launching new projects, they will never get into METROPLAN ORLANDO's plans, http://www.metroplanorlando.comlboards/shell.asp ?display=minutes&cmte=cac 9/112002 METROPLAN ORLANDO Page 4 of8 MOTION: Mr. Harris moved to approve the Prospective Funding Earmark Projects for TEA-21 Reauthorization with the additional stipulation that design standards for these improvements include design for the Freight, Goods and Services Strategy Plan.

Mr. Pieters asked whether the CAC will be given some cost estimates at the July meeting. He stated that with not using the CSX corridor, he would imagine that costs would increase. Mr. Grovdahl stated that the new alignment is a bit cheaper to run. There will be fewer stations, with only one at the northern end at the Belz Factory Outlet Mall and one at the Orange County Convention Center Intermodal Terminal. This could be a substantial savings, Mr. Grovdahl stated that in the year 2020 LRTP, in determining what would be cost feasible, METROPLAN ORLANDO ultimately adopted a 20-mile segment of light rail.
