ARLINGTON – The North Central Texas Council of Governments is hosting an online public input opportunity from July 10 to Aug. 8 to allow residents to learn more about transportation initiatives and participate in the regional planning process. 

To submit comments and questions to NCTCOG, email nctcogJuly23@publicinput.com or visit www.publicinput.com/nctcogJuly23, where you can also watch the presentations. 

Each year, NCTCOG works to approve and update the Regional 10-Year Plan. This plan identifies major projects to be implemented in the region. The public input opportunity will provide a project list from Fiscal Year 2024 to Fiscal Year 2033 for review and comment.

Air quality improvement is an important focus for NCTCOG, with the region classified as nonattainment for ozone. Working closely with regional partners, NCTCOG develops and implements strategies, policies and programs to enhance air quality.

In addition, there are periodic opportunities for public and private entities to compete for funding to reduce fleet emissions. Highlights of Dallas-Fort Worth fleet projects implemented using grant funds will be provided, as well as a list of current funding opportunities available to fleets.

An overview of the recently completed DFW Discovery Trail branding and wayfinding project will also be provided, including final branding recommendations.  

Information will be provided about the following initiatives and programs: Certification of Emerging and Reliable Transportation Technology (CERTT) Program: Round 2 results, Walk to School Day promotion 2023, Engine Off North Texas and Mobility 2045: 2022 Update administrative revisions.
