Narrative
On December 4, 2014, the N.C. Department of Transportation released the draft 10-year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which schedules the projects proposed for full or partial funding across the entire state for the years 2016-2025. The first five years of project programming is called the STIP and the latter five years of project programming is called the developmental program. The STIP is updated every two years.
The projects included the STIP that are located in the DCHC MPO area become the basis for the development of the MPO's draft FY2016-2025 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In the MPO's TIP there are projects that were prioritized through the Strategic Transportation Investment (STI) process, there are projects that were exempt from STI, and there are projects that were prioritized and selected by jurisdictions and the MPO.
On January 5, 2015, a TC subcommittee met to review and discuss the draft TIP. Questions and comments from the subcommittee were collected and compiled into a Memorandum to the NCDOT from the MPO Board. The Memorandum will serve as the basis for discussion during the Priority Review Meeting (One on One meeting) that is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2015 with NCDOT, MPO Board members, MPO TC members, local staff, and other stakeholders.
