- Submittal of Grant Application to the Federal Transit Administration for the 2026 Access and Mobility Partnership Grant Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Karla Windsor, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff is requesting Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approval to submit an application to the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Fiscal Year 2026 Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility Grant Program to implement a mobility management program with an interactive software-as-a-service platform with conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve coordination between healthcare providers and transportation services for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Background: In July 2026, the FTA announced the 2026 Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility Pilot Program (ICAM) Grant Program. The Notice of Funding Opportunity indicated availability of nearly $12 million in competitive grant funding to support innovative projects for older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals/households with limited financial resources that will improve the coordination of transportation and non-emergency medical transportation services. Staff requests authorization to submit a grant application to develop an interactive online regional transportation resource to enhance the existing Regional Get-A-Ride Guide with innovative software-as-a-service technology, including conversational AI. Through dedicated staff support, outreach, and partnerships with healthcare and transportation providers, the project will launch in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties and expand across North Texas if successful. Staff also intends to partner with North Central Texas Council of Governments' Area Agency on Aging on outreach and implementation. Applications are due September 9, 2026. The total grant budget will not exceed $1,250,000 including $500,000 in local match to be provided using RTC Local funds. More information can be found in Electronic Item 9.
- Metropolitan Transportation Plan Policy Bundle – Round 6 Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 5 Presenter: Amy Johnson, NCTCOG Item Summary: The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) will be briefed on the proposed allocation of transportation development credits (TDCs) to be awarded in this round of the Policy Bundle. Staff is proposing a total allocation of 34.9 million TDCs, compared to the original allocation of 30 million which was previously approved by the RTC for this purpose. Background: Recommendations in Mobility 2050 include policies, programs, and projects that support the region’s transportation priorities and goals. Because infrastructure investments alone cannot achieve these goals, the Policy Bundle Program recognizes and encourages complementary local policy actions that advance regional transportation, air quality, and quality-of-life objectives. By voluntarily implementing these policies, participating entities will receive TDCs to offset local funds as matching funds for new federal transportation projects. Draft TDC allocation recommendations were presented to the Surface Transportation Technical Committee in July for information while quality control review was still underway. As a result of this review, adjustments are being proposed to the draft TDC allocations. The Transportation Improvement Program team has confirmed that sufficient TDCs are available to address the allocation corrections. The proposed allocation is included in Electronic Item 10.
- Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Kevin Kokes, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will provide an overview of the development of the Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan including the purpose and goals, crash data analysis, public opinion survey results, priority emphasis areas and corridors to target for future study and implementation of safety countermeasures, and recommended action items. Background: The Regional Transportation Council approved a safety position in 2017 to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities across all modes of travel. However, in recent years the number of bicyclist serious injuries and fatalities has trended upward in North Central Texas consistent with State and national trends. The purpose of the Regional Bicycle Safety Action Plan is to provide a framework for reducing the number of bicyclist crashes and fatalities in the North Central Texas metropolitan planning area. This Plan, in conjunction with the 2021 Pedestrian Safety Action Plan and the 2023 Roadway Safety Action Plan, is intended to improve safety for all road users. Additional details are provided in Electronic Item 11. The draft Plan, including appendices, is available online for public review at www.nctcog.org/bikesafety.
- Federal Performance Measures Update: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Performance and Transit Asset Management Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Chris Klaus, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will update the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) on federally required performance measures. Observed progress for the measures will be provided as well as proposed targets for the next reporting period. The targets are set in cooperation and coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation. Background: Federal performance measures were originally introduced in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and carried through in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. These laws and subsequent related rulemaking require that certain performance measures be included in the long-range metropolitan transportation planning process. These measures were established by a series of five rulemakings: Highway Safety (PM1), Infrastructure Condition (PM2), System Performance/Freight/Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (PM3), Transit Asset Management (TAM), and Public Transportation Agency Safety Plans. Each performance measure rulemaking consists of several specific performance measures. The second performance period for all federal performance measures ends in 2026, whereas the third performance period begins in 2026 and ends in 2030. An update will be provided on progress for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality measures (commonly known as PM3) and TAM. Draft targets for the PM3 measures and TAM will be included for future adoption by the RTC on September 10, 2026, to meet the required Federal due dates in October 2026. More details can be found in Electronic Item 12.
