Background: The Texas Department of Public Safety has joint responsibility with local law enforcement for the operation of the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement service. This joint service takes place throughout the region so that compliance with statutory provisions of law regulating weight, motor carrier safety, registration, transportation of people, hazardous materials, and other property can be obtained. North Central Texas Council of Governments staff has been attending coordinated multi-jurisdiction CVE events in the Dallas-Fort Worth region and will share observations and next steps.

- Hiring Temporary Outside Legal Counsel Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 15 Presenters: Rick Bailey, RTC Chair and Dan Kessler, NCTCOG Item Summary: Chair Bailey will request approval for temporary legal assistance in areas that can no longer be served by North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) legal counsel. This item does not approve joining other legal action contemplated in the region. In fact, that item will not be discussed in this item or elsewhere on this agenda. It is anticipated that Judge Andy Eads of Denton County may not be able to attend the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) meeting in April. Background: Current NCTCOG legal staff cannot assist the Transportation Department and the RTC with some legal services. Electronic Item 6.1 is correspondence sent to you by Ken Kirkpatrick, NCTCOG General Counsel. Electronic Item 6.2 further clarifies RTC-related items Ken can no longer assist with and NCTCOG Executive Board items that he can. We have also lost access to James Powell because of their joint legal responsibility. As a result, legal services are immediately needed in three areas:
- Rockwall County Outer Loop Partnership Memorandum of Understanding Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Christie Gotti, NCTCOG Item Summary: If an agreement can be reached by April 9, 2026, Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approval will be requested for a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the RTC and Rockwall County regarding the Regional Outer Loop through Rockwall County. Background: In April 2021, RTC approved a Regional Outer Loop Partnership with both Rockwall and Kaufman Counties in which the counties were to fund preliminary engineering and environmental work for a portion of the Regional Outer Loop (from Farm-to-Market [FM] 1138 to State Highway 276 in Rockwall County) with local dollars in order to expedite the project and the RTC would fund a project (in return) to be determined at a later time. The Kaufman County partnership was finalized when the RTC funded FM 741 from United States 175 to Spring Creek Blvd (Transportation Improvement Program 21097.1/Control Section Job Number 1092-01-026) previously. The RTC funds have been committed to multiple projects in Rockwall County, but the county needed to work through Outer Loop alignment concerns before proceeding with the preliminary engineering and environmental work. To this end, Rockwall County has identified a path forward, which is outlined in the draft MOU provided as Electronic Item 7. Action may be requested to enable the RTC Chair to sign the MOU.
- North Texas Zero Emissions Vehicles Call for Projects Funding Recommendations Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 5 Presenter: Lori Clark, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will provide an overview of the North Texas Zero Emissions Vehicles (NTxZEV) Call for Projects (CFP) including applications received to date, scoring results, and activities recommended for funding. Staff will request Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approval of funding recommendations and a revised NTxZEV CFP schedule. Background: In 2025, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) was awarded $60 million from the Environmental Protection Agency through the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program to replace heavy-duty internal combustion vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, install supporting infrastructure, and conduct workforce development/training related to zero-emissions vehicles. A CFP providing $58.6 million for vehicle replacement activities was opened on October 24, 2025, and the first deadline for competitive review of applications was February 13, 2026. Staff has completed review and scoring of completed applications and developed funding recommendations. Additional details are available in Electronic Item 8.1. Electronic Item 8.2 provides additional details on scoring and funding recommendations. This is the first in a series of approvals staff will request as applications are accepted for this program through rolling deadlines. Staff is actively working to support applicants for the next funding round and is organizing a workshop to provide additional information on the program and available zero emissions vehicles on April 21, 2026. Information on the workshop is available in Electronic Item 8.3. Additional details can be found at www.nctcog.org/NTxZEV.

- Air Quality Status Update Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Jenny Narvaez, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will provide an air quality update focusing on ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Background: The 2026 ozone season began March 1, 2026, for the North Central Texas 9-and 10-county non-attainment areas and continues through the end of November. The region remains in nonattainment for both the 2008 and 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), with 2026 representing the third and final year of data that will determine whether attainment is achieved in 2027. Staff will monitor ozone levels throughout the year and report monthly on compliance with the NAAQS. Daily ozone conditions and forecasts are available at: https://www.nctcog.org/trans/quality/air/ozone. Nonattainment designations for revised PM2.5 NAAQS that were scheduled for earlier this year have stalled due to pending court decisions.
