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.

Input from residents, local governments and the private sector impacts decisions about transportation and air quality policies, programs and plans for North Texas. After all, these decisions determine how North Texans live and travel in the 12-county Dallas-Fort Worth region. Input received is provided to the Regional Transportation Council. Comments or questions may be submitted on the specific items listed or other transportation and air quality topics.
