NON-STIP PMP August 5, 2025 Geographic Focus and Planning Data For each project, OCTS staff will compile and provide relevant geospatial and quantitative data, beginning with project boundaries and estimates drawn from the region's two primary transportation models: • Triangle Regional Model (TRM) • Piedmont Triad Regional Model (PTRM) Projects are often prioritized based on a combination of technical analysis and community input, with particular attention to: • High-risk crash locations identified in County-level data • Areas with recurring community-reported concerns • Strategic zones such as: o Schoolzones o High-volume intersections o Corridors with documented safety deficiencies In addition to regional model data, OCTS staff utilize supplementary sources to support and validate Non-STIP project needs, such as: • Traffic Impact Analyses from land development reviews • Locally adopted Corridor Studies and Comprehensive Plans • Specialized studies produced by municipalities, the County, or Metropolitan/Rural Planning Organizations (MPO/RPO) Implementation Considerations and Project Outcomes To ensure the most successful delivery of each project, OCTS staff will leverage all relevant NCDOT resources, tools, and professional contacts. However, project implementation is subject to a range of practical considerations and limitations. These include: • Inter-agency coordination requirements and the importance of timely cooperation • Community support, particularly for changes affecting neighborhoods or school zones • Environmental and seasonal factors, such as weather-dependent construction schedules • Funding constraints, including matching fund requirements and contractor availability Despite these potential challenges, OCTS remains committed to achieving meaningful transportation improvements that support the County's goals for safety, mobility, equity, and sustainability. 8
