Request to receive the Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) presentation and comment on Chatham County Projects being considered in the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).
Introduction & Background:
A MTP is a fiscally constrained plan that identifies transportation facilities to be implemented over the next 30 years. Modeling tools and scenarios such as the Triangle Regional Model (TRM) and Community Viz were used to guide the consideration of projects in the Triangle Region, and specifically the DCHC MPO area to be included in the Plan.
The development schedule for the 2045 MTP is as a follows:
* Deficiency Analysis; DCHC MPO Board released in June 2017
* Alternatives Analysis, DCHC MPO Board released in August 2017
* Preferred Option, DCHC MPO Board to release in October 2017
* Adopted 2045 MTP, DCHC MPO Board to adopt in December 2017
Public workshops have been scheduled throughout the MPO Boundary to gather feedback from residents living within the MPO boundary in the following locations:
