Department of <br /> Transportation's (NCDOT) annual State Transportation <br /> Improvement Program (STIP) and the Durham-Chapel Hill- <br /> Carrboro Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) <br /> and to assist staff in the identification of transpor- <br /> tation needs for possible inclusion in upcoming STIP and <br /> LTIP requests. <br /> BACKGROUND: Every year the N.C. Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a <br /> multi-year STIP specifying needed transportation <br /> improvements across the state. If a project is outside <br /> the DCHC Urban Area, then the County can request directly <br /> of the BOT that the project be included in the STIP. In <br /> . the development of the STIP, a series of statewide public <br /> hearings is held in each of the state's 14 highway <br /> divisions (Orange County is located in Division Seven) . <br /> The purpose of these public hearings is for the BOT to get <br /> input from the public and elected officials on the <br /> existing STIP ( 1995-2001) projects and proposed projects <br /> for the next STIP ( 1996-2002 ) . The tentative date and <br /> location for this year's public hearing is October 25, at <br /> Yanceyville, Caswell County. <br /> If a project is inside the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> (DCHC) Urban Area, then that project has to be coordinated <br /> with the other DCHC local jurisdiction requests, also <br /> known as the LTIP. In the development of the LTIP, a <br /> series of meetings is held by the DCHC TAC and TCC to <br /> develop regional transportation priorities. This year's <br /> process begins with the local jurisdictions submitting <br /> their transportation priorities to the DCHC TCC by October <br /> 31, 1994 . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Receive as information and identify, as appropriate, <br /> transportation needs for possible inclusion in the <br /> County's 1996-2002 STIP and LTIP Requests by October 25, <br /> 1994 . <br />
