PRESENTATION TOPICS
Additional information about these topics may be found below in the files tab near the bottom of the page.
Mobility 2045 Update & 2022 Transportation Conformity
One of the primary responsibilities of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is the development and maintenance of a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). NCTCOG staff has initiated the development of an update to the current MTP, Mobility 2045, and will provide an overview of the nondiscrimination analysis, as well as draft plan materials which are available at www.nctcog.org/PlanInProgress.
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires MPOs to perform an air quality analysis when a MTP is developed/updated. This analysis is to ensure the multimodal transportation system complies with applicable Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets (MVEB) established for the region. Per the CAA, staff has conducted successful analyses for the required MVEB analysis year, the MTP horizon year, and interim years.
Beginning of Ozone Season & Car Care Awareness
The Dallas-Fort Worth region does not meet attainment for federal air quality standards for the pollutant ozone. The 2022 ozone season began on March 1, and staff will present an ozone season update and strategies to help reduce air pollution, including information on the department’s Car Care Awareness (CCA) campaign. CCA helps educate vehicle owners and the public about proper vehicle maintenance practices so they can take an active role in contributing to the regional air quality solution. More information: www.ntxcarcare.org
Electric Vehicle Charging Station Call for Projects

All public entities are eligible to apply, and the stations must be publicly accessible. Applications are being accepted until April 22, 2022 for the first round of applications. Additional details on the Call for Projects will be provided.
Fort Worth to Dallas Regional Trail Branding & Wayfinding Project
The Regional Trail Branding and Wayfinding project will create a name and unified branding and signage for the Fort Worth to Dallas Regional Trail, a 60-mile trail connecting the cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, and Dallas. This project will also help build regional consensus for ongoing marketing and operations for the trail. Staff will present an overview of the project and upcoming public input opportunities.
