P4.0 Carryover Projects 2007 PURPOSE: To consider a resolution (Attachment 1) endorsing transportation projects within the Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning Organization (BGMPO), Durham-Chapel Hill- Carrboro (DCHC) MPO and the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) planning areas for State scoring and ultimate consideration of inclusion in the 2020-2029 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). BACKGROUND: Biennially, the North Carolina Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a multi- year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) containing funding and scheduling information for transportation projects throughout the state including those for highways, aviation facilities, public transportation, ferry travel, freight rail, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The STIP is the major tool the State uses for the implementation of locally and regionally adopted transportation plans from which projects are conceived for programming consideration. In 2015 and 2016, the State, in conjunction with the metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and rural planning organizations (RPOs) throughout the state, progressed through the prioritization process (SPOT P4.0) for the 2018-2027 STIP, which is scheduled to be finalized and adopted by the North Carolina Board of Transportation in July 2017. 2020-2029 STIP The State is once again beginning the process of developing the 2020-2029 STIP, which is scheduled to be finalized and adopted in July 2019, and will be requesting local input for transportation project lists through each local government's respective MPO or RPO.
