Priority rankings are listed by NCDOT scores from highest to lowest <br /> with a few notable exceptions and were approved by the OUTBoard for submittal to the <br /> respective MPO/RPO organizations to engage in their internal prioritization processes. The <br /> OUTBoard discussion is detailed in Attachment 2. More information about the MPO/RPO and <br /> Orange County prioritization process is presented below.
