Regional Transportation Council (RTC)

To go on NCTCOG’s official environmental study record, please use the form at this site: http://nctcog.org/trans/outreach/meetings/feedback.asp
The deadline for these comments is October 2, 2014.

The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) is the transportation policy body of NCTCOG. They control the Mobility Plan for the region. The way I understand it, the Northeast Gateway/Blacklands toll project must be added to the Mobility Plan in order to be built. The process for being added to the 2035 Mobility Plan involves the 2014 Amendment. On October 9, 2014, there will be DISCUSSIONS by the RTC regarding adding the project to the 2014 Amendment. We would like to see the RTC defeat the proposal to add the Northeast Gateway/Blacklands project to the 2014 Amendment. For this to happen, the members of the RTC should know how the public feels about the project. Following is a list of the current members of the RTC. You may CLICK HERE to email all of them at once, including members of the NCTCOG executive board. (Many executive board members also serve on the RTC. Click here to view the NCTCOG executive board members.)
Currently, the October 9 meeting of RTC is only to DISCUSS plans for the Blacklands Toll Road. The vote to add it to the Mobility Plan will take place at their regularly scheduled meeting on November 13, 2014. Please use this link to email all of them regarding your feelings on the Blacklands Toll Road/Northeast Gateway Project.

Sample letters you can copy and paste are here. Fee free to change these to suit your own thoughts, concerns, reasons, etc.
