Introduction: Prioritization is a biennial process where transportation projects from each planning area compete for state and federal funding across North Carolina. Projects are funded at three levels: (1) Statewide Mobility; (2) Regional Impact; and (3) Division Needs. 

Statewide Mobility and Regional Impact project prioritization are complete. Across the two stages, six (6) projects were picked up for funding in the 2028-2037 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

Division Needs project prioritization is currently underway.  There are 40+ eligible projects within the Winston-Salem Area Transportation Planning Organization (WSATPO) - highway, bicycle and pedestrian, transit, rail, and aviation - competing for funding in this category. The Winston-Salem Area TPO has up to 2,300 local input points that it can designate to projects to put them in the best possible position to be funded. You can view the Winston-Salem Area TPO's Proposed Project Point Assignment here. Projects that receive local input points from the TPO and NCDOT Division 9 are put in a better position - but not guaranteed - to be picked up for funding.

To help guide our recommendation, we want to know which projects are most important to the community. Let us know which projects are most important to you by using this survey. We are gathering feedback in three (3) main ways: (1) Interactive Comment Map; (2) Budget Exercise; and (3) Open-Ended/General Comment.

Whichever method you prefer, we want to hear from you! Don't forget to hit "Submit Survey" at the bottom!
