FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR


Most of us in the SARPC region are counting our blessings and thankful that we received minimal effects from sub-tropical or tropical storm Alberto. We never know when disasters will strike so it's important that as a region we all work together to stategically plan and to be as preparred as possible. Your SARPC staff stays attuned to Federal, State, County, and Municipal notices, events, opportunities, and challenges to be in position to better serve our citizens. Have a great and safe Summer!!!!!

Mobile MPO Updates

On Wednesday, the Mobile MPO met and adopted several resolutions.  There was a resolution adopting the WAVE Transit's Targets and Performance Measures as per the FAST ACT, as well as the agreement between the Mobile MPO and ALDOT concerning all other  Performance Measures and Targets for Safety, System Performance and Freight, and Bridge and Pavement Condition. 

US 45 Feasibility Study Update

The next meeting is tonight, May 30th, at the Toulminville Library,  from 5:00PM to 6:00PM.  Last week MPO staff, Volkert and CERM met with the City of Prichard City Council at Prichard City Hall. It was a very informative meeting and we gained some insight into the needs of the project.
 
The Advisory Committee kick off meeting was held April 17th at the GM&O Building. The project consultants Volkert and CERM gave a short presentation on the goals of the project to a selected list of stakeholders that make up the Advisory Committee. There was a discussion about project expectations and public involvement at the meeting.  If you are interested in serving on the Advisory Committee, please contact Kevin Harrison.

Freight Data

The Mobile MPO has been trying to update its freight plan as an element to the Long Range Transportation Plan. We purchased data from INRIX to give a snap shot of where trucks are coming from and going to. In the travel demand modeling world, this is an important piece of information.  To help validate the truck data, we are working with APM Terminals to try and nail down where the container trucks are coming from and going to.  One day a quarter, APM Terminal will have on-board tablets for drivers to answer a series of questions in terms of where they came from, where is their return trip, if they came in from outside of Mobile County, which direction did they come from, etc; the data is exciting and interesting.  Below is a flow map from the survey data in terms of container trucks going to the container terminal at Choctaw Point. Click  HERE for the survey results.



Transportation Improvement Program( TIP) Now Online

The TIP represents a four year program (2016-2019) for improvements in the various transportation systems located within the Mobile study area as identified in the Mobile MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the twenty-five year plan for the Mobile Urban area Destination 2040. The LRTP establishes the transportation programs that are needed to meet travel demand by the study year and study area. LRTP projects that become funded are moved into the TIP and submitted to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), where they are programmed into the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). For MPO projects, TIP project selection is based on priorities established by MPO member governments and the availability of funds through the Surface Transportation Attributable program. For other projects, ALDOT has discretion of project funding based on availability of funds from various types of funding categories.  Most often, projects in the TIP are derived from the LRTP. The TIP guides ALDOT in its annual allocation of funds for transportation improvements and becomes a part of the STIP.
 
ArcGIS Online is now being utilized by MPO staff to map all federally funded surface transportation projects within our area. Check it out.

EMPLOYMENT & ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT

Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

During the Senior Community Service Employment Program's quarterly meeting, participants were assisted with Human Resource students to familiarize them with interview questions and professional soft skills. The students presented an ineffective interview and then presented an effective interview. Afterwards, each SCSEP participant was interviewed by a Human Resource student. This process benefits the participants by giving them an idea of what to expect and how they can improve their skills to make them more marketable in their job search.


     
Additionally, the participants gave Shelia congratulations on her retirement. This was Ms. Green's last meeting with the group.


 
20th Annual Business Expo and Job Fair

The 20th Annual Business Expo and Job Fair was a big success due to the support of sponsors and vendors. The event drew 101 businesses. Vendors reported their approval of the quality of job seekers attending.
 
In addition to vendors inside the event, there were four business vehicles on site. Cintas showcased their rolling store which contained boots, shoes and shirts.

The gentleman pictured at the entrance to the Cintas vehicle is the Manager of the office of Small Business Advocacy with the Alabama Department of Commerce. They were a Gold Sponsor for the event.

Also, the Alabama Career Center's bus was on site which contained laptops for individuals to apply for jobs online. For example, if a job seeker spoke with a recruiter at a booth inside the event and was instructed to place their application online. The job seeker would step outside the event, enter the bus and place their application before ever leaving the event. Not only is this a time saving process, but it also is beneficial to those who may not have access to a computer.


 
Schneider trucking placed one of their typical rigs in front of the entrance to the event as well as the Veterans cab.


    
Schneider was chosen from trucking businesses nationwide to have the customized veteran's design made and place on one of their cabs. Each year a different design is made and a prominent company is chosen to promote this honor to all those who have served and for all who have given their lives for our freedom.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15



Each year, an estimated 5 million older adults are abused, neglected, or exploited. Older Americans lose an estimated $2.6 billion or more annually due to elder financial abuse and exploitation, funds that could be used to pay for basic needs such as housing, food, and medical care. Unfortunately, it occurs in every demographic and can happen to anyone-a family member, a neighbor, even you. It is estimated that only one in five of these crimes are discovered.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations (UN). WEAAD aims to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic, and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect. In addition, WEAAD is held in support of the UN International Plan of Action acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. This observance serves as a call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and communities to raise awareness about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Access  the latest World Elder Abuse Awareness Day campaign materials available from the  USC Center on Elder Mistreatment. Logos, web banners, stationary templates, sample press releases, and more are available.

Please contact the National Center on Elder Abuse at 1-855-500-3537 or  ncea-info@aoa.hhs.gov with any questions.
