SUBJECT: Project Status Review Forms
DATE: January 13, 2003
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) staff is continuing to monitor and
refine projects contained in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), in order to develop
the 2004-2006 TIP project listing. An important part of this process is evaluating the status of
projects currently programmed with Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement
Program and the Surface Transportation Program - Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) funding.
To assist in this effort, we are asking that all implementing agencies complete and/or update the
project information requested in the enclosed project status review form(s). Completed project
status review forms should be returned to NCTCOG no later than Friday, January 31, 2002.
Accurate information on advanced project development, right-of-way acquisition, and
construction status will permit us to better track projects, to avoid schedule delays, and to
ensure that we meet state air quality and letting requirements to prevent the loss of federal
funds to the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Staff will use the information provided by each agency to
allocate federal funding for all active projects to the appropriate years. The year in which funds
are programmed will be determined based on average completion times for remaining phases of
the project, financial constraint requirements, and the need to implement State Implementation
Plan (SIP) commitments in a timely manner. All information submitted on these forms will be
reviewed and appropriate updates to the TIP will be processed.
Although we realize that not all questions will apply to every project, NCTCOG staff requests
that you complete all applicable information. Instructions for completing the project status
review forms are included on the back of each form. Please mail them to: Chdstie Jestis,
Transportation Planner, North Central Texas Council of Governments P.O. Box 5888, Arlington,
Texas 76005-5888. Should you have any questions or comments, pi ase contact Christie
Jestis or me at 817/695-9240. Thank you for your assistance.
