(Arlington, Texas) — The North Central Texas Council of Governments is conducting an online public input opportunity to allow residents to comment on transportation and air quality initiatives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Members of the public are encouraged to provide input at
www.nctcog.org/input.
Modifications to the Fiscal Year 2020 and FY 2021 Unified Planning Work Program will be posted for review. The UPWP for regional transportation planning provides a summary of the transportation and related air quality tasks to be conducted by NCTCOG.
Additionally, due to the passing of House Bill 2840, members of the public can now provide their input during Regional Transportation Council meetings. Staff will provide an overview of this process and post the draft rules for review and comment through Feb. 26. Since this is being added to NCTCOG’s Public Participation Plan, it requires a 45-day comment period.
Finally, information on electric vehicle incentives, Texas Emissions Reduction Plan funding, Clean Fleets North Texas 2019 Calls for Projects and Mobility Plan administrative revisions will be available.
