Arlington, TEXAS – The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) invites the public to provide input on the recently adopted transportation plan, Mobility 2050; the Public Participation Plan; and other initiatives during a hybrid public meeting at noon on Monday, July 14.
The meeting will be held in the Transportation Council Room at the NCTCOG offices, located at 616 Six Flags Drive in Arlington. Those unable to attend in person can view the meeting online at PublicInput.com/nctcogJuly25 Residents can also participate by calling 855-925-2801 and entering code 11574. Public comments will be accepted until Aug. 12.
The meeting will cover a presentation about Mobility 2050, the region’s long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), which was recently adopted by the Regional Transportation Council. The plan guides transportation investments and addresses regional needs through 2050. Staff will share key highlights of the plan, including what comes next. For more information, visit NCTCOG.org/PlanInProgress.
Additionally, staff will present proposed revisions to the Public Participation Plan (PPP) that reflect new legislative requirements as well as the increasing role of innovative technologies in the public participation process. The PPP outlines the principles, goals and strategies for involving North Texans in the transportation and air quality planning process, including procedures for documenting public comments.
At the meeting, an updated draft of the project list covering projects from FY2026 to FY2035 will be presented for review and comment. Each year, the Regional Transportation Council approves an update to the Regional 10-Year Plan, which identifies major projects to be implemented in the region.
A draft update of the 2026-2028 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals will also be posted for review and comment. As a recipient of federal transportation funds, NCTCOG is required to establish and periodically update DBE participation goals to encourage contracting opportunities for socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Finally, staff will provide an update on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Community Program to deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on public sector property in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Information will be provided on an upcoming Call for Projects for public agencies to submit potential charging station locations for funding consideration.
