Have we heard from you? Citizen, local government and private sector input impacts decisions about transportation and air quality policies, programs and plans for North Texas. After all, these decisions determine how North Texans live and travel in the 12-county Dallas-Fort Worth area.
To facilitate an open, inclusive process, NCTCOG offers opportunities for North Texans to get informed, involved:
- Sign up to receive notices of public input opportunities, newsletters and topic-specific information by e-mail or mail.
- Connect on social media

Presentations
Mobility 2045: Metropolitan Transportation Plan for North Central Texas [PDF]
Mobility 2045 will define a long-term vision for the region's transportation system and guide spending of federal and state transportation funds. This includes funding for highways, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other programs that can reduce congestion and improve air quality. Draft recommendations will be presented. More informaiton, www.nctcog.org/mobility2045.
2018 Transportation Conformity [PDF]
Transportation Conformity is a federal requirement in nonattainment areas to conduct air quality analysis on transportation projects, programs and policies. Conformity determinations must demonstrate consistency between ozone-causing emissions expected from the implementation of transportation plans and programs and requirements set by the state. Staff will present information regarding 2018 Transportation Conformity.
Strategic Partnerships (Round 2) [PDF]
The Strategic Partnerships Program awards federal funding to high-priority projects that leverage funds from local partners or are of strategic value to the region. Details on the program and the projects being proposed for funding will be presented for review and comment.
School Projects Update [PDF]
The goal of the Community Schools and Transportation Program is to advance coordination between cities and school districts, promote sustainable school siting decisions and improve transportation safety and alternative transportation options to schools. Staff will discuss a new school siting guidebook as well as Safe Routes to School plans.

As the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the NCTCOG Transportation Department and Regional Transportation Council are together responsible for developing, coordinating and allocating funding to transportation plans and related air quality projects.
What is the MPO?
NCTCOG invites and encourages all North Texans, including those traditionally underserved by transportation, to share ideas and opinions.
The Public Participation Plan [PDF] details more about how groups and individuals can be involved. Additionally, NCTCOG proactively seeks to educate and engage North Texans in the transportation planning process. It is expected that by 2035, nine million people will call North Texas home. Meeting the mobility needs of today and tomorrow requires coordination and collaboration. |
