Dec. 11, 2023 (Arlington, TEXAS) – The North Central Texas Council of Governments is closing the year with an online public input opportunity beginning on Monday, Dec. 11. North Texans can provide feedback on the end of 2023 ozone season, the Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Fleet Recognition Awards and Annual Survey results, and the National Drive Electric Week recap.
Information will be posted online at www.publicinput.com/nctcogDec23 for public review and comment through Jan. 9.
Ozone season concluded Nov. 30 for the 10-county Dallas-Fort Worth nonattainment area. As the region continues to work toward compliance of the 2008 and 2015 ozone standards, staff has been tracking the exceedance days at various monitors and will provide a summary of the 2023 ozone season data. Staff will also provide comparative data from previous ozone seasons and a snapshot for the 2024 ozone season.
Each year, DFW Clean Cities surveys local fleets about alternative fuel use and other fuel saving activities. Staff will present the 2022 Annual Survey results and details of the 2023 Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Fleet Recognition Awards.
National Drive Electric Week is a celebration used to educate people about the benefits of owning an electric vehicle. The Clean Cities Coalition has hosted a regional NDEW event annually since 2011. Staff will provide a summary of the 2023 event, held in October in Fort Worth.
Information and resources about Map Your Experience, the Regional Smoking Vehicle Program (RSVP), vehicle incentive and funding opportunities and Try Parking It will also be made available.
For special accommodation due to a disability, language interpretation or to request printed copies of the information, contact Jackie Castillo at 817-695-9255 or jcastillo@nctcog.org.
