Thoroughfare Planning and Sub-Area Studies

 

NCTCOG’s Thoroughfare Planning and Sub-Area Studies provide assistance to local governments, including thoroughfare planning support, comprehensive studies, and technical assistance.  This includes coordinating with local, regional, state, and federal agencies and assisting in the preparation of environmental and planning documents, as well as working with local governments in developing the transportation component of a city’s comprehensive plan or county-wide transportation plan.
