Option 3. Consolidated Regional MPO: DCHC and CAMPO member jurisdictions would join neighboring non-MPO jurisdictions to form a single MPO. The CAMPO study relates to General Statutes of North Carolina Chapter 136-200.4 (part of Session Law 2000-80 signed by the governor July 5, 2000) that requires metropolitan planning organizations with at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their area of jurisdiction located within the boundaries of anon-attainment area to consult on appropriate emissions reduction strategies and to adopt a single, unified plan for achieving conformity. The penalty for failure to adopt a single conformity plan is the Department of Transportation will not allocate to the MPO(s) any State-funded road construction funds, State matching funds for road construction or transit capital projects, or Federal congestion mitigation and air quality improvement program funds. The DCHC Transportation Advisory Committee, at its meeting on September 10, reviewed the executive study and determined that the Committee needed more time to address the issues presented in the report prior to accepting an invitation by the Regional Transportation Alliance to host a joint DCHC CAMPO TAC meeting to discuss options for organizational restructuring. The DCHC TAC will discuss the issues at its next meeting on October 8, 2003. A related item on that agenda will be a draft report of the Unified Conformity Strategies Plan Working Group formed to address questions regarding clarification of NCGS 136-200.4 and its implications for MPOs.
