He also delivered an update on <br /> 50 discussions from the April NCDOT Quarterly meeting, focusing on recent Non-STIP (Non—State <br /> 51 Transportation Improvement Program) requests. <br /> 52 <br /> 53 He emphasized the ongoing significance of the project and described the year-long effort undertaken to <br /> 54 enhance it through the development of a formalized Project Management Plan (PMP). This structured <br /> 55 process has been aimed at improving coordination, accountability, and efficiency in the project's <br /> 56 administration. <br /> 57 <br /> 58 The finalized PMP will be presented at the next OUTBoard meeting for approval. Once adopted, the <br /> 59 document will function as a key operational tool, maintained by staff for the daily administration of Non- <br /> 60 STIP projects. It will include a monthly reporting mechanism for the Director and align with both the <br /> 61 NCDOT quarterly luncheons and regular OUTBoard meetings, ensuring consistent communication, <br /> 62 oversight, and integration with broader transportation planning efforts.
