Map of Proposed Priority Projects <br />PURPOSE: To consider resolutions endorsing priority transportation projects for the 2011- <br />2017Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): <br />1) Resolution to the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (MPO) Transportation Advisory .Committee (TAC) endorsing the Priority <br />List of projects in areas of Orange County within the Metropolitan Area Boundary <br />(MAB) for inclusion in the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP); <br />and <br />2) Resolution to the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) Rural <br />Transportation Advisory Committee (RTAC) endorsing the Priority List of projects in <br />areas of Orange County outside the MAB. <br />BACKGROUND: Biennially, the North Carolina Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a multi- <br />year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that specifies needed transportation <br />improvements across the state. The process starts with local jurisdictions drafting local <br />transportation priority lists. Federal and state regulations provide for public input into the <br />process. <br />The Transportation Improvement Program contains funding information and schedules for the <br />State Transportation Divisions including Highways, Aviation, Enhancements, Public <br />Transportation, Rail, Bicycle and Pedestrian, and the Governor's Highway Safety Program, and <br />is the major tool for implementation of locally and regionally adopted transportation plans. <br />
