The TAC has scheduled a public hearing on December 4, 2002. <br />Copies of the Draft Recommended Financially Constrained 2025 Long-Range Transportation Plan <br />(LRTP) were distributed to the Board on November 15. The plan should be reviewed for any <br />aspects that have potential impacts to Orange County so that comments can be submitted at the <br />December 4 public hearing. <br />The Long-Range Transportation Plan is a fiscally constrained plan that identifies an aggregate of <br />programs and transportation improvements that should function as an integrated transportation <br />system to address transportation deficiencies, needs and goals in the urban area over the next 20 <br />years. North Carolina The DCHC Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and North Carolina <br />Department of Transportation (NCDOT) use the LRTP to identify projects to include in the <br />Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item. Depending on <br />the fiscal analysis, local jurisdictions may have to develop funding sources for needed projects that <br />are not covered by existing revenue sources. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board consider comments <br />and approve a Resolution Providing Comments to the DCHC TAC Regarding the Draft 2025 Long- <br />Range Transportation Plan. <br />
