The county should consider whether its transportation interests in the predominantly rural areas of the county are rwre wmpatible with the more urban portions of the county and neighboring Durham County , or more compatible with the rural portlon s of neighboring counties , The county should consider that within an MPO , the MPO has the authority to adapt transportation plans , decide priority of transportation projects , and can prevent unwanted projects from being constructW ; while tho RPO has only advisory authority and NCDOT decides priorlty of transportation projects to be constructed . The county may also consider that local governments de not contribute direct funding for MPO operations while local govemments must contdbuta 20 % of the funding for RPO operations . ( However , the funding would be a minirnal issue since the 20 % match - $ 20 , to $ 25 000 , respectively , for 5AO , 0Q0 base to � 100 , 000 maximum 80 % to be funded by NCDOT - would be divided among the owntles making up the RPO , ) Orae " nty mist also decide whether its transportation Interests in the ng predominantly rural areas of the wunty are more oompadble with counties in the Triangle J region or with counties to the west that are In the Pledrr nt Authority for Regional: Transportatbn service area . or with some other c.Drnbinatio n of adjacent counles that are not already comnAted to a Dural Planning Organization (for example , Aramance and Chatham ) , For the latter scenario , Grange County must develop a proposal for those counties that outlines the structure .and openation for tho RPM} _
