Comments relevant to and received during specific public comment periods are provided to the RTC in advance of any meetings where they are scheduled to take action on the relevant policy, plan or program. All comments received outside these formal public comment periods, regardless of the topic, are compiled into a monthly report and presented to the RTC in advance of its next regularly scheduled meeting. These comments are accessible to the public in the RTC meeting agendas, public meeting minutes and monthly comment reports on the NCTCOG website.

The NCTCOG Transportation Department is committed to ensuring a comprehensive public engagement process that allows all North Texans to provide their input on regional transportation and air quality initiatives. The NCTCOG Public Input Feedback Survey allows the organization to understand how members of the public prefer to receive information, identify issues that matter most to them and provide feedback.

PRESENTATION TOPICS

Additional information about these topics will be found below in the files tab near the bottom of the page on January 13, 2025.

Work Zone Data Exchange Call for Projects
In March of 2022, five vendors were selected through the NCTCOG’s TXSHARE Cooperative Purchase for Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx). These vendors were approved in three areas related to WZDx, including converting raw work zone data into WZDx format, establishing WZDx-compliant reporting system and general WZDx services.  In June 2023, the RTC set aside funding for implementation and directed staff to engage regional partners on project scoping and execution to continue this effort. Local agencies submitted projects to staff in November 2024 for consideration for funding. Staff will provide an overview of projects recommended for implementation.

Feedback on Regional Electric Vehicle Charging Station Projects
NCTCOG is involved in multiple electric vehicle (EV) charging station deployment projects bringing nearly $90 million to the region. Staff is seeking feedback on how to deploy this funding from residents, public agencies and private organizations who may be interested in EV charging. Find more information and provide feedback on an interactive map at www.publicinput.com/nctcogevcharging.

Local Clean Air Projects Showcase and Funding Opportunities
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) works closely with regional partners to develop and implement strategies, policies and programs to enhance air quality. NCTCOG periodically makes opportunities available for public and private entities to compete for funding intended to reduce the emissions of their fleets and purchase cleaner vehicles and equipment.  Staff will highlight some fleet projects that were implemented in the DFW region using grant funds and announce any current funding opportunities available to fleets.
