31 <br />The following is a brief summary of some of the key points in NC DOT's bicycle policies and programs. <br />The policies and details for each program are quite complex and tend to be difficult for practitioners not <br />accustomed to working with large agencies to decipher, therefore this plan only refers to the key principles. <br />Copies of each policy are in Section E. of the Bicycle Transportation Plan Supplement. A more <br />comprehensive review of these policies and programs can also be found in the NC DOT Transportation <br />Plan (1996). <br />Other NC DOT Programs <br />Other programs besides facility construction administered by the OBPT include development of design <br />guidelines for bicycling and pedestrian facilities, designation of bicycling highway routes, mapping of local <br />bicycle routes and bicycle safety promotion (NC DOT Transportation Plan, 1996, page 22). <br />Durha»rChapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (Regional Planning Agency) <br />The current policy of the DCHC MPO is to make their Direct Attributable funds (a funding category under <br />the ISTEA Surface Transportation Program for MPO's with populations of 200,000 or more) available to <br />municipalities within the MPO for them to construct independent bicycling projects. State Laws and NC <br />DOT policies and programs in their independent funding of bicycling projects limit the DCHC MPO. In <br />particular, the DCHC MPO cannot program funds for the construction of independent bicycle projects <br />outside of municipalities without the cooperative programming of the same project by NC DOT. In other <br />words, the DCHC MPO is constrained by State Laws and NC DOT Policies in what they can and cannot <br />program for bicycle construction projects. The DCHC MPO is the only MPO in NORTH CAROLINA that <br />is making its Direct Attributable Funds available to local governments for the construction of independent <br />bicycle projects. However, a shortcoming of DCHC Regional Transportation Plans is that these plans have <br />not, to date, contained real performance measures or benchmarks for bicycle facility construction (see <br />Section D. of the Bicycle Transportation Plan Supplement for a copy of the minutes from the public <br />hearing). <br />12 <br />
