Sustainable Development Infrastructure

Funded Infrastructure Projects

In 2001, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) initiated the Sustainable Development Program. The program is designed to encourage planning and foster growth and development in and around historic downtowns and Main Streets, infill areas, and along passenger rail lines and at stations. By allocating transportation funds to land use projects promoting alternative transportation or reduced automobile use, NCTCOG and its regional partners are working to address escalating air quality, congestion, and quality of life issues, and promote economic development through public/private partnerships.

Since 2001, the program had four cycles of funding (2001, 2006, 2010, and 2018), awarding $163 million including a local match of $32.6 million for infrastructure projects to support sustainable development throughout the region.
