- Approval of Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan - Transportation Elements Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Chris Klaus, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will request Regional Transportation Council approval of transportation elements of the Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan (DFW AQIP). Background: The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Transportation and Environment and Development Departments are collaborating on comprehensive air quality improvements, including efforts to support attainment of the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards, continued transportation conformity determinations, and other regional concerns. As part of this work, NCTCOG is creating the DFW AQIP Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP), which will create a roadmap on how to comprehensively improve air quality from all sectors through 2050, including future emission reduction targets and measures to reach these targets for multiple pollutants. The DFW AQIP includes an inventory of current and projected carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions through 2050. For transportation, a NOX reduction target was established in order to ensure successful transportation conformity analyses in the future. Future CO2e reductions were estimated by applying the recommended NOX target. Finally, staff identified measures consistent with Mobility 2050 which can support the region reaching these transportation sector targets. Electronic Item 6.1 provides additional details on the DFW AQIP CAP and Electronic Item 6.2 details proposed measures (i.e., policies and programs) to be implemented to reduce emissions and reach the transportation target.
- Advance Fort Worth to Houston High-Speed Rail Corridor Identification and Development Program, Dallas-Fort Worth High-Speed Rail Study, and the McKinney Passenger Rail Corridor Study Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Dan Lamers, NCTCOG Item Summary: Staff will review background and current context for each item and request the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) consider the following items: • Request the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Executive Board and Project Team to proceed with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Corridor Identification and Development (Corridor ID) Program for Step 1: Scope of Work Development. • Request the NCTCOG Executive Board and Project Team to proceed with Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) initiative already underway. • Request the City of Fort Worth and City of Arlington to complete their high-speed rail Economic Impact Study for evaluation, along with completed economic impact study efforts. • Add the City of Plano withdrawal election from Dallas Area Rapid Transit to Go/No-Go decision point between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the McKinney Passenger Rail Corridor Study. Background: The RTC has elected to pursue two parallel initiatives in advancing high-speed rail in the region: FRA-led Corridor ID Program which develops a national pipeline of intercity passenger rail projects for future federal funding opportunities and an FTA-led NEPA process between Fort Worth and Dallas to promote an environmentally cleared corridor for private investment opportunities. Staff advanced an alternate western alignment in downtown Dallas as directed by the RTC in August 2024. Staff will update the RTC on latest developments and seek action to advance the parallel high-speed rail initiatives (NEPA and Corridor ID). Additional information for this briefing is provided in Electronic Item 7. Following the positive results of the Collin County Transit Study in 2021, the RTC funded a study on the McKinney Passenger Rail Corridor (between Plano and McKinney) to serve as an extension of the DART rail system.
- Interim Final Rule on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program Action Possible Action Information Minutes: 10 Presenter: Ken Kirkpatrick, NCTCOG Item Summary: The United States (U.S.) Department of Transportation (DOT) issued an Interim Final Rule on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program on October 3, 2025. Staff will provide a summary of impacts on the DBE Program. Background: In August 2025, the Regional Transportation Council approved an overall DBE Goal of 8.6 percent for Fiscal Years 2026-2028. During presentation of the goal, staff highlighted a pending U.S. Federal District Court case in Kentucky which could impact the DBE Program regulations in the future. The Interim Final Rule was published and became effective on October 3, 2025. The Interim Final Rule eliminates the sex and race-based presumptions to determine social and economic disadvantage. This requires all DBE firms to be re- certified under the new rule. Staff will provide a summary of changes and impacts on the DBE Program. Electronic Item 8.1 and Electronic Item 8.2 contain U.S. DOT’s initial guidance and frequently asked questions regarding the new DBE Rule. Additional information is included in Electronic Item 8.3.
