BACKGROUND: Biennially, the North Carolina Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a multi- year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that specifies needed transportation improvements across the state. "The Transportation Improvement Program contains funding information and schedules for the State Transportation Divisions including Highways, Aviation, Enhancements, Public Transportation, Rail, Bicycle and Pedestrian, and the Governor's Highway Safety Program", and is the major tool for implementation of locally adopted transportation plans, The NC Board of Transportation, in .July 2004, voted to change the program period from even- numbered years to odd-numbered years, with STIP adoption in even-numbered years. The next STIP will be for FY 2007-2013 and the public hearing process has been changed from October- November of 2005 to April -May of 2005. NCDOT, because of the short time frame, suggests that local jurisdictions submit priority lists developed for the 2006-2012 TIP (Attachment 1) plus any new projects that those jurisdictions may wish to add. The process starts with local jurisdictions drafting local transportation priority lists, which are then submitted to the regional transportation planning agencies (Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DGHC MPO) and Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO), The transportation advisory committees (TAC) of each of those agencies then endorse a prioritized list of projects that each submits to NCDOT. Federal and state regulations provide for public input into the process.. ~:_, ~~.-~on.rn, ~ ,, t 1`. ilia;( i ... .. .. ..
