Public comments will be accepted through Jan. 6
Arlington, TX – The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) invites the public to provide input on recent transportation initiatives, including funding opportunities for electric vehicle charging stations and traffic signal improvements, during a hybrid public meeting at noon Monday, Dec. 8.
The meeting will be held in the Transportation Council Room at the NCTCOG offices, located at 616 Six Flags Drive in Arlington. Those unable to attend in person can view the meeting online at PublicInput.com/nctcogDec25. Residents can also participate by calling 855-925-2801 and entering code 1011. Public comments will be accepted until Jan. 6.
The meeting will feature a staff overview of the end of the 2025 ozone season, along with next steps moving forward. The season came to an end Nov. 30, and the region remains in nonattainment for both the 2008 and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Continued inability to reach attainment will increase challenges for projected regional growth.
Additionally, staff will present funding recommendations to deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on public sector property in North Central Texas. In July 2025, NCTCOG opened the North Texas Electric Vehicle Charging Station Call for Projects to award funding to build EV charging stations using funding from the Federal Highway Administration’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Community Program.
Finally, staff will provide an overview of the proposed funding process for the Traffic Signal Program, including agency eligibility requirements, the evaluation criteria for funding requests and the categorization of traffic signal improvements. The program aims to establish a structured process for evaluating and funding traffic signal initiatives as requests are received.
Residents planning to use transit to attend the meeting can take advantage of $6 round-trip rides from the CentrePort/DFW Airport Station to NCTCOG via the Arlington Transportation app. Visit ArlingtonTX.gov/ondemand to download the app.
