New Agreement Concerning Transportation Planning
for the Champaign-Urbana Urban Area
(26) On May 20, 1964, the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution that provided
for University participation in the Champaign-Urbana Urbanized Area Transportation
Study (CUUATS) . The organization provides the framework for comprehensive,
continuing, and cooperative transportation planning and includes representatives
from the cities of Champaign and Urbana, the village of Savoy, from
Champaign County, Mass Transit District, Regional Planning Commission, Illinois
Department of Transportation, and the University. CUUATS does not implement
projects but coordinates planning and relies on its member agencies for implementation.
Federal Transmrtation officers have advised that the apencies " involved
should execute a new agreement, reaffirming earlier resolutions providing for their
participation in CUUATS and redefining certain agency responsibilities so as to
assure this urban area of continued eligibility for federal capital and operating
funds. The agreement would provide for areawide transportation planning and
that CUUATS continue to develop and approve such reports and documents as
required by frderal or state urban area transportation regulations and guidelines.
Execution of the agreement by the University of Illinois would not place a financial
obligation on the University but would provide for its continued participation in
transportation planning activities of the community.
The chancellor at Urbana has recommended that a new agreement as described
be approved and that the comptroller and the secretary be authorized to
execute such an agreement.
I recommend approval.
On motion of Mrs. Shepherd, this recommendation was approved.
