24 <br />(2015, 2025, and 2035) used for the conformity determination are the same as the networks used <br />for the 2035 Transportation Plans. Throughout the process to develop the roadway networks, the <br />MPOs and NCDOT identified any initial inconsistencies in project timing and characteristics (e.g. <br />cross-section) for those projects crossing jurisdictional boundaries and reached consensus on <br />consistent solutions. <br />The interagency partners also jointly developed lists of regionally significant and exempt projects. <br />The checklist below was used to guide the identification of regionally significant projects. After <br />the MPOs, RPOs and NCDOT generated initial lists, the lists were reviewed by DENR ,EPA, <br />FTA and FHWA. The regional, state and federal agencies reached concurrence on the lists. <br />Regionally Significant Project Checklist <br />1. The facility serves regional transportation needs (i.e. facilities that provide access to and from <br />the region or that provide access to major destinations in the region). <br />2. The facility is functionally classified higher than a minor arterial (minor arterials may be <br />regionally significant if their main purpose is to provide access to major facilities in the <br />region). <br />3. The facility is a fixed guideway transit facility. <br />4. The facility is included in the travel model for the region (in many cases collector streets are <br />modeled and not regionally significant). <br />To be regionally significant a facility should meet one or more criteria in this checklist. 40 CFR <br />Part 93.101 <br />Appendix D includes lists of the future year roadway projects in the Triangle area as indicated <br />below, including indications of which projects are regionally significant and which projects are <br />exempt. There are no future roadway projects within the portion of Orange County within the <br />Burlington-Graham MPO, therefore no list of projects is included. <br />Area Location of Roadway Project List in <br /> Appendix D <br />Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro MPO 2035 LRTP (Appendix D1) , <br /> 2009-2015 TIP (Appendix D2) <br />Capital Area MPO 2035 LRTP (Appendix D 1) <br /> 2009-2015 TIP (Appendix D4) <br />Burlington-Graham MPO no future yeaz projects in 2035 LRTP or <br /> its TIP subset in Orange County portion <br />Triangle Area RPO (portions of Chatham and Orange Projects out of the 2009-2015 STIP <br />Counties in maintenance area) (Appendix DS) , <br />Kerr-Tar RPO (Franklin, Person and Granville Counties) Projects out of the 2009-2015 STIP <br /> (Appendix D6) <br />Upper Coastal Plain RPO (Johnston County) Projects out of the 2009-2015 STIP <br /> (Appendix D7) <br />16 <br />
