NCTCOG TO HOST HYBRID PUBLIC MEETING JAN. 13
1/8/2025
Public comments on transportation, air quality topics will be accepted through Feb. 11
Arlington, TEXAS – The North Central Texas Council of Governments is looking for input on transportation initiatives during a public meeting at noon on Monday, Jan. 13. This meeting will be held at NCTCOG headquarters, located at 616 Six Flags Drive, in Arlington. Those who are unable to attend in person will be able to watch the meeting online at Publicinput.com/nctcogJan25.
Residents are also encouraged to call 855-925-2801 and enter code 7533 to join the conversation. Public comments will be accepted until Feb.11.
The first presentation will focus on the Work Zone Data Exchange Call for Projects. This initiative aims to improve how work zone data is shared in real time across the region. In 2022, NCTCOG selected five vendors to help convert work zone data into a standardized format and create a system for reporting this data.
In June 2023, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) provided funding to move the project forward. Local agencies submitted their project proposals for funding in November 2024, and NCTCOG will present a summary of the projects being recommended for implementation.
Staff will also discuss multiple electric vehicle (EV) charging station deployment projects that are bringing nearly $90 million to the region. NCTCOG is asking for feedback from residents, public agencies and private organizations on the best way to use this funding, and members of the public can share their thoughts at PublicInput.com/nctcogevcharging.
Additionally, NCTCOG works with regional partners to create strategies that improve air quality. Staff will highlight local projects that have received grants to reduce emissions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and will share information about current funding opportunities for fleets looking to buy cleaner vehicles and equipment.
Administrative revisions to the Mobility 2045 – 2022 Update, air quality funding opportunities and information about the Try Parking It program and Access North Texas plan will also be posted online for review.
Residents planning to use transit to attend the meeting can take advantage of $6 round-trip rides from the CentrePort/DFW Airport Station to NCTCOG via the Arlington Transportation app. To download the app, visit ArlingtonTX.gov/ondemand.
