Arlington, TEXAS – The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) invites the public to provide input on the region’s next long-range transportation plan and other initiatives during a hybrid public meeting at noon on Monday, May 12.
The meeting will be held in the Transportation Council Room at the NCTCOG offices, located at 616 Six Flags Drive in Arlington. Those unable to attend in person can view the meeting online at PublicInput.com/nctcogMay25. Residents can also participate by calling 855-925-2801 and entering code 11304. Public comments will be accepted until June 10.
The meeting will feature a presentation on Mobility 2050, the region's upcoming long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan. NCTCOG staff is nearing the completion of Mobility 2050 development and will provide an overview of the draft plan materials currently available at NCTCOG.org/PlanInProgress. Additionally, the Clean Air Act requires metropolitan planning organizations to perform an air quality analysis when a Metropolitan Transportation Plan is developed. Staff will present an update on the analysis for Mobility 2050.
NCTCOG will also provide an update on feedback from the public and local stakeholders, and initial draft recommendations from the Fort Worth 76104 Transit Needs Assessment. This assessment was designed to identify innovative transit solutions to increase mobility and access to food, healthcare, housing and jobs in a part of Fort Worth identified as an area of persistent poverty. For more information, visit NCTCOG.org/76104.
An overview of the Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan will also be provided during the public meeting, including a public opinion survey underway through June to solicit input on regional bicycle safety. Bicyclists of all ages and abilities are encouraged to take the survey at PublicInput.com/BikeSafety.
The meeting will include discussion on the Strategic Selection of Safety Corridors, part of a $54 million Management, Operations, Air Quality and Safety Program aimed at making the transportation system safer for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. NCTCOG staff will present an overview of this program and discuss data that will identify corridors as well as the process to partner with law enforcement agencies.
A comprehensive list of funded transportation projects through 2026 is maintained in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Projects with committed funds from federal, state and local sources are included in the TIP. To maintain an accurate project listing, this document is updated on a regular basis and posted online in the files tab near the bottom of the page for review and comment.
Finally, information will be available at PublicInput.com/nctcogMay25 about the following topics:
