At the December meeting, the DCHC MPO board released the Air Quality Conformity Determination Report (AQ CDR) for a public comment period that went through January 12. In January, the board conducted a public hearing for the AQ CDR and released the full report for the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for a public comment period that went through February 1.
2050 MTP Report
The final report compiles the many details and assumptions that have already been known in the development of the Plan and presents new information on how the 2050 MTP meets the requirements of environmental justice, air quality conformity, and federal critical planning factors. Readers should note that there is an executive summary in the front of the full report, and the last page of each chapter has a short summary of the chapter called "key points from this section." A copy of the final report and appendices are available on the Adopted section of the 2050 MTP web page: www.bit.ly/2050MTP-AltsAn. Additional data and materials, such as performance measures, interactive maps, and responses to public comments, are posted to the web page as they become available. A resolution is attached that adopts the 2050 MTP and sets the official socioeconomic data (SE Data) and Triangle Regional Model (TRM). A compilation of public comments and staff responses is also attached. Staff will make a short presentation to identify any recent or significant changes to the full report, and summarize public comments.
