Item Summary: The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) will be requested to approve the SH 360 partnership approach and details of the project negotiations.
Background: Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Headquarters has offered a $300 million loan for tolling SH 360 south of the Green Oaks intersection. Representatives from TxDOT Districts, the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) have completed negotiations on a path forward to construct the next phase of
SH 360. Regional staff is awaiting comments from TxDOT Headquarters and the NTTA Board of Directors. Final action is necessary by the end of 2013. NTTA and TxDOT are committed to developing a funding and implementation strategy so that the next phase of the project can proceed upon environmental approval from the Federal Highway Administration.

Presenter: Ken Kirkpatrick, NCTCOG
Item Summary: The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) will be updated on the request to assist with the collection risk associated with the IH 35W 3A/3B project. Staff will request approval to increase the toll premiums for video tolls to mitigate the collection risk for video tolls.
Background: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) recently executed a toll services agreement for the IH 35W 3A/3B segments of the North Tarrant Express. As part of the agreement, TxDOT bears any collection risk associated with uncollected tolls. This risk is associated primarily with the pay-by-mail (video tolling) option, which has a much higher cost of collection and significantly lower collection rate than toll tag transactions. TxDOT has requested RTC share the collection risk for this corridor on a graduated basis. Given the collection risk issue, staff has been in discussions with TxDOT and NTTA staffs on options to reduce the collection risk, including eliminating video tolling or increasing the toll premium for video tolls. At its November meeting, RTC was not interested in eliminating video tolls and requested staff bring back a formal recommendation on increasing the toll premium. Additional details are provided in Reference Item 3.

Action Possible Action  Information Minutes: 10
Presenter: Natalie Bettger, NCTCOG
Item Summary: The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) will be briefed on the Regional Incident Management Program and plans to survey regional partners on current incident management policies and performance measures that are being collected within the region. This initiative is being requested by RTC member Sandy Greyson who attended the Freeway Incident Management Executive Level course.
Background: In 2003, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) became the first agency in the nation to formalize incident management training for all responders in the region, the goal of which was to initiate a common, coordinated response to traffic incidents that will build partnerships, enhance safety for emergency personnel, reduce upstream traffic accidents, improve the efficiency of the transportation system, and improve air quality in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. In October 2008, RTC adopted Resolution R08-10, provided in Electronic Item 4 (an update to RTC Resolution R03-01), that supports a comprehensive, coordinated, interagency approach to freeway incident management. As part of our continued efforts to emphasize the importance of effective incident management goals and objectives throughout the region, staff is preparing to release a survey to gather information on partner agencies commitment to incident management. Staff will provide an overview of the Regional Incident Management Program, the proposed items to be included in the survey and a schedule of the activities.

1:35 1:45 5. Correspondence to Legislature Highlighting Successful Emissions Enforcement and Requesting Full Funding
Action Possible Action  Information Minutes: 10
Presenters: Chris Klaus and Amanda Wilson, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Staff will present information to the Council on Regional Emissions Enforcement Program media coverage and correspondence to the Legislative Budget Board seeking increased funding for this clean air initiative.
Background: The Regional Emissions Enforcement Program aids local law enforcement in combating counterfeit, fictitious, and improper State vehicle emissions inspections. While criminal activity continues to be a problem, the effectiveness of enforcing the State s Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program is at risk due to a lack of funding appropriations by the Texas Legislative Budget Board. The Regional Emissions Enforcement Program utilizes Local Initiative Projects (LIP) funds, which come from the Clean Air Account, which also funds the Low Income Repair and Replacement Assistance Program (LIRAP). Both programs are being hindered, having less impact on emissions reductions than in years past when appropriations were more in line with the amount of funding collected.

Staff will briefly provide information on recent media coverage, which can be found in its entirety at www.nctcog.org/REEP. In addition, a letter was recently submitted by the Regional Transportation Council Chair to the Legislative Budget Board, provided as Electronic Item 5, highlighting this coverage and requesting the transfer of funds for both LIP and LIRAP. Without support and increased appropriations for both programs, attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone will continue to be a challenge and transportation dollars being in jeopardy due to unrealized emissions reductions.

Action Possible Action  Information Minutes: 10
Presenter: Natalie Bettger, NCTCOG
Item Summary: The Regional Transportation Council will be briefed on the Call for Projects for the future phase of the Regional Traffic Signal Retiming Program.
Background: The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has been working with partner agencies to implement the regional traffic signal retiming program since 2002. NCTCOG issued a Call for Projects for the future phase of the Regional Traffic Signal Retiming Program on December 3, 2013. This program will utilize Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program funding to retime approximately 500 traffic signals. Information will be provided about the Call for Projects, including the selection process, proposed eligibility, criteria and schedule for project rankings. Additional information is provided in Electronic Item 6.

Item Summary: Staff will provide information on the recently completed Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 2013 Triennial Review.
Background: The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) serves as the designated recipient of FTA Urbanized Area Formula Program funding for transit services in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington urbanized area that are outside the service areas of Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T). On November 5-6, 2013, FTA was on site conducting NCTCOG s 2013 Triennial Review. The purpose is to review how well NCTCOG follows the federal rules in 18 compliance areas, and also to review NCTCOG's oversight of approximately 30 subrecipients. Staff will provide information about the review and final report. Electronic Item 7 contains the FTA 2013 Triennial Review Final Report.
