We are working on putting together projects for the <br />Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, to be adopted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation <br />in July 2015, and approved by the Federal Highway Administration in October 2015. We will need to submit projects <br />to each of the transportation planning organizations within Orange County to prioritize at a regional level so the <br />projects that the OUTBoard and the BOCC want to be scored will be scored by the state using their new criteria, and <br />then they will be considered for addition in the statewide transportation improvement program. (Bret reviewed the <br />Abstract). <br />Alex Castro: DOT is divided up into divisions. What role do these divisions play in this planning process? <br />
