The map is divided into planned and funded projects for the various regional <br />transportation planning organizations in Orange County. <br />Planned Projects: <br />Projects must first be illustrated as a line on a map, in order to be considered for any Federal or <br />State funds, especially in the adopted Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). Projects with <br />detailed scope, termini, cost, administration etc... advance into the agency's financially <br />constrained Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). These projects are also identified on the <br />map, with the exception of TARPO, who is not required to adopt an MTP. <br />Funded Projects: <br />The map also identifies state approved projects that are scheduled to receive funding through <br />North Carolina Strategic Transportation Investment (STI) Law. These projects are illustrated as <br />adopted 2018 -2027 Strategic Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Projects awaiting <br />funding approval through 2020 -2029 STIP are also illustrated on the map as submitted projects. <br />Other significant projects relevant to Orange County are also illustrated but not submitted due to <br />STI process restrictions. <br />You can access this map from the following link: <br />ht ap <br />This map is currently being made user friendly so general public and various departments are <br />kept informed of transportation efforts throughout the county. Future improvements will seek to <br />include ways public can submit comments on any project <br />27 <br />
