Rebecca (NDOT) said passage of SB315 allows NDOT to use the progressive design‑build approach on the I‑80 East Sparks widening project. She also highlighted AB503, which imposes stricter penalties for copper utility wire theft. NDOT will continue interim outreach with legislators on transportation priorities ahead of the 2027 session.

NDOT described a statewide review of animal‑vehicle conflict that identified more than 90 roadway segments for further study to reduce wildlife collisions. The report, Rebecca said, used crash records, climate projections, land‑use plans and wildlife movement data to prioritize sites. Spooner Summit was mentioned as a potential location for a multi‑use crossing for both trail users and wildlife; NDOT is collaborating with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and Pathways for Wildlife on data collection and planning, including cameras and animal collar data.

Locally, Rebecca reported ongoing maintenance work: one lane is closed southbound on U.S. 395 between Topsy Lane and Jacks Valley Road daily while crews make drainage improvements and use asphalt millings to stabilize roadside areas. NDOT also plans to upgrade pedestrian crossing ramps on Right Way in front of the Carson City DMV; intermittent lane and sidewalk closures will be needed for about 10 days once the project start date is finalized, and pedestrian access will be detoured to nearby crossings during construction.

Board members and staff noted receipt of a USDOT letter from Secretary Duffy outlining new guidance; NDOT and local transportation staff said they are reviewing the guidance to understand what will change at the agency level.

What happens next: NDOT will continue data collection and stakeholder outreach on wildlife crossings, advance maintenance projects as scheduled, and engage with lawmakers on funding and project delivery issues.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Carson City - Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization - Jul 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","An NDOT representative told CAMPO the department received its requested base budget and bonding authority in the 2025 legislative session, highlighted passage of SB315 (progressive design‑build authority) and AB503 (harsher penalties for copper wire theft), and described a statewide wildlife‑vehicle collision review and local maintenance closures.","taxTitle","Carson City, Ormsby County, Nevada","taxId",4609,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551265,"CAMPO approves small amendment to 2025–26 planning work program; chair discloses family tie to presenter",208,2036000,2244000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7&start=2036&end=2244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7/thumbnail_2036000.jpg","/articles/6551265/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/CAMPO-approves-small-amendment-to-202526-planning-work-program-chair-discloses-family-tie-to-presenter","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551265-4cca9675b5f1ac39cb13d1da8a062ba4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775556883&Signature=H7q1r83uAObrWd6-SkJHN5c9h9amInHBVnn7GRNQYr7vqPIPNUUyBz1kCuQx1Pefd7fpkBta5P7lmtnmvNDa6eHxVVgTXvSizw~zbSkVC~-8Dj-bgiOrjoNcNFdgA0ltiJD867VyKWqthNZxNPrI-Tu41vWaCylspuo~UNxOEhhOpYS37QnJOuKptm8r6lU3t0U9XiInCv4qbsszyGAi~wEgX00lzlp2Uv~5DXHjKUj4H0yPsUvVpRLcUiTTru7ZYT1XGJjFyuyF3Ynt3t~ZqjOAN8SKf4xiUd5AfgZyKJBDeXbxTuWN8Su7UUuA2h9qwDNhda8vCEjxQlH7n6GiVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","CAMPO approved Amendment No. 2 to its Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for fiscal years 2025–2026 on July 9, 2025, and authorized the transportation manager to accept non‑substantive edits requested by state or federal reviewers.

The modification deletes section 3.1 of the UPWP and makes related edits, according to the staff report. Chair Greg Novak disclosed a family relationship before the item was presented, saying, “My nephew is Chris Martinovich, who is employed by Carson City and will be presenting this item.” Novak said the relationship would not “foreseeably impair or enhance the terms of his service with the city” and that he did not have a disqualifying conflict under Nevada law. The body voted unanimously to approve the amendment and authorization.

The change is described in the staff packet as an edit to align the UPWP with required reviewer comments; the motion also allows the transportation manager to make adjustments requested by the Nevada Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration or the Federal Transit Administration provided those changes do not “substantively modify the work element activities or budget of the UPWP.” Transportation Manager Chris Martinovich told the board he had nothing additional beyond the written staff report and was available for questions.

Board members had limited substantive discussion. One member noted the removal of “planning emphasis areas” appeared reasonable given recent federal changes, and Martinovich confirmed he did not expect further substantive amendments to the work elements unless funding or scope changed. Staff clarified an amendment to the monetary agreement that funds the UPWP could come later if anticipated funds change.

The board approved the motion without recorded opposition. The UPWP governs how CAMPO will allocate planning work and associated federal and local funds; the approved language gives staff flexibility to process non‑substantive federal or state edits while preserving the written work elements.

What happens next: staff will finalize the approved amendment language in the UPWP and, if needed, submit any non‑substantive edits to the identified federal or state agencies. Should the monetary agreement funding the UPWP change, CAMPO staff said a further amendment to the UPWP or the funding agreement could follow.","CAMPO approved Amendment No. 2 to its Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for fiscal years 2025–2026 on July 9, 2025, and authorized the transportation manager to accept non‑substantive edits requested by state or federal reviewers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551255,"CAMPO approves submission of competitive FTA bus grant; project would add ADA‑compliant vehicle",211,2767000,2978000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7&start=2767&end=2978","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7/thumbnail_2767000.jpg","/articles/6551255/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/CAMPO-approves-submission-of-competitive-FTA-bus-grant-project-would-add-ADAcompliant-vehicle","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551255-9342c8dde1e24c237a51bc8375843e71/orig.mp4?Expires=1775556883&Signature=BvMgLmSFOpDafK3TfA-gOdv1px0FtPTftsgn-~Ln1TW-etzmnlNs52v79wW7AwsDc2fLLLNJksGW-MjTJOrxAzRc2g0mRMBklxZlYQM8R~ye2WJ9ILndndL~f9kVpnNYr~V2UODyi1y4plqav617JpUvcugSSHQ5uSt6kSnQMByHmqCw8MLO2MYuEOL31nIfSPlNFmRLnc~6uF6t9EdF9ubQD7KH-7bonZYD2t2pk3Ny-YaZ8dTxgi5PRbIR3rhgWeWyhsCoisXiAI7VvWgooATa7uodVzx5lXsgElLTlja09GXkf918JrqbWY1WS6NDJdjVm5iJaAq0BR65CZNGBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization on July 9 authorized staff to submit a competitive Section 5339(b) Buses and Bus Facilities Program grant application to the Federal Transit Administration seeking federal funds to help replace a fixed‑route vehicle.

Marcus Myers, transit coordinator for Carson City Public Works, told CAMPO staff would request $88,913 in federal funding with a required 20% local match estimated at $22,228, for a total request of $111,141. Myers said that if awarded, those funds would be supplemented by $122,280 in Section 5339(a) funds from a separate grant application submitted in June, producing a project total of $255,000 to purchase a new ADA‑compliant transit bus.

Board members asked about fuel type and procurement timing. Myers said the agency had not selected a propulsion technology and was planning to procure a “regular combustion engine” vehicle now; he also warned that lead times for buses can extend procurement out multiple years. One member cautioned that matching funds and budget cycles can complicate a multi‑year procurement, because a federal award tied to a federal fiscal year may not line up with local budget appropriations when the bus is delivered.

The body voted unanimously to approve the submission as presented and authorized the transit manager to proceed with the application. No public comments were offered during the item.

Public input received later in the meeting touched on transit service gaps. Didi Foremaster of the Rural Center for Independent Living urged CAMPO to explore service to the Arrowhead warehouse area and Mound House, suggesting coordination with employers on shift‑timed service to improve access for workers. The suggestion was recorded during the meeting's final public comment period and will be available for staff consideration.

What happens next: staff will file the 5339(b) application with the FTA. If an award is made, CAMPO and Carson City will need to confirm local match availability and finalize vehicle specifications and procurement timing.","CAMPO authorized staff to apply for a competitive FTA Section 5339(b) bus and bus facilities grant for $111,141 (including a 20% local match) to partially fund the purchase of an ADA‑compliant fixed‑route bus; the board also discussed procurement timing and local match challenges.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6551260,"CAMPO adopts 0.82% three‑year DBE goal for FTA‑assisted contracts",394,2312000,2706000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7&start=2312&end=2706","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346025-6177d69ccbc8431f7c00b0177fc2eda7/thumbnail_2312000.jpg","/articles/6551260/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/CAMPO-adopts-082-threeyear-DBE-goal-for-FTAassisted-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551260-fd4eb1770288a297033c779cad414a0d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775556883&Signature=I~sBHsx6ZEykcFERRXPr5DjE~WKstwiKn92bPR0zHQKNSM~xf0zVWXMFWdJ-xO4snEV-xLwk3jUdmuiqD5VFrGAk5rMU3hKofFBx-z6TZkYL6GPJ7z~yIj02USj8mG3diD4VlHA7-y9AnEbUIzQOhnJuUP0nUqeJIQGVVRm7bYcKR2DGJlHpqQDdKQB65oacDUGEuTRnJ~7kdN3Vb6qj1-v51w9D~lKku0WbOY0wW4WsFltGHB28uPT7xcpVmWnYwVztZkddCxI6yuGh9YyQLF2qvNbm3~jhCRaS6XDxo3wO8WprP8x1NxgvoweQu8ZtItmkkkdrtcJxZp5hAYdHTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson Area Metropolitan Planning Organization on July 9 approved a proposed three‑year disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 0.82% for Federal Transit Administration‑assisted contracts during federal fiscal years 2026–2028 and authorized the transit manager to make administrative, non‑substantive edits to the DBE program plan.

Marcus Myers, transit coordinator for Carson City Public Works, said staff used project NAICS codes and the number of available DBEs in a market area that includes Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, Storey and Washoe counties to calculate a weighted goal. Myers described the methodology in the staff packet and referenced tables in the packet that show the calculations by project and NAICS code.

Staff held a 30‑day public comment period, June 4–July 4, and a public DBE stakeholders presentation; Myers said no comments were received during either outreach effort. The plan and methodology will be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration for review and approval if the board’s action stands.

Board members asked about the change from the previous three‑year goal. One member noted an earlier figure of 1.43% and was told that the 1.43% was the prior goal and the new figure (0.82%) is lower. Myers said the reduction is driven mainly by a lower total project budget for 2026–2028 ($6.6 million, compared with $7.8 million in 2023–2025) and by the large share of funds going to operating expenses, which generally have few DBE‑eligible opportunities. Chair Greg Novak observed that 0.82% of $6.6 million is roughly $54,000 across three years.

The board voted unanimously to direct staff to submit the DBE program to the FTA and to authorize the transit manager to make administrative amendments resulting from regulatory changes that do not alter the participation goal or the program's substantive procedures.

What this means: the 0.82% goal establishes CAMPO's target for DBE participation on FTA‑assisted contracts during the next three federal fiscal years; the FTA must review and approve the methodology before it becomes final.","CAMPO approved a three‑year disadvantaged business enterprise participation goal of 0.82% for Federal Transit Administration‑assisted contracts for federal fiscal years 2026–2028 and authorized administrative, non‑substantive amendments to the DBE plan.","actionData","errors"]
