3.1. Modifications to the Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023 Unified
Planning Work Program
Presenter: Vickie Alexander, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approval of
modifications to the FY2022 and FY2023 Unified
Planning Work Program (UPWP) will be requested.
Direction for staff to also administratively amend the
Transportation Improvement Program and other
administrative/planning documents, as appropriate, to
reflect the approved modifications will also be sought.
Background: The Unified Planning Work Program is required by
federal and State transportation planning regulations
and provides a summary of the transportation and
related air quality planning tasks to be conducted by
Metropolitan Planning Organization staff. The FY2022
and FY2023 UPWP was approved by the Regional
Transportation Council and North Central Texas Council
of Governments (NCTCOG) Executive Board in July
2021 and identifies the activities to be carried out
between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2023.
Amendments to this document are being proposed to
reflect a project update, funding adjustments, and the
creation of a new UPWP chapter to reflect initiatives
that have been approved by the Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) for inclusion in the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) but are
outside of the timeframe of the current Work Program.
The proposed amendments are provided in Electronic
Item 3.1.1 and will be posted on the NCTCOG website
for public review and comment as part of the February
public outreach opportunity. Additional information is
provided in Electronic Item 3.1.2. The Surface
Transportation Technical Committee took action at its
January 27, 2023, meeting to recommend Regional
Transportation Council approval.

3.2. Fiscal Year 2023 Education Campaigns for Transportation
Initiatives: Phase Two
Presenter: Mindy Mize, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Staff will seek the Council’s support to recommend
NCTCOG Executive Board approval of up to $1,041,000
in funding of Education Campaigns for Transportation
Initiatives: Phase Two that will initiate in Fiscal Year (FY)
2023. Last month, the Surface Transportation Technical
Committee recommended Regional Transportation
Council approval.
Background: Since 2014, the NCTCOG Executive Board has been
authorizing annual large-scale advertising purchase and
placement initiatives for the Transportation Department.
Electronic Item 3.2.1 provides a reminder of Phase One
FY 2023 budget previously approved as well as more
information on Phase Two FY 2023 education
campaign costs along with examples of past education
campaigns and associated campaign performance
measure summaries. Education campaigns in Phase
Two will support Car Care Awareness, Drive Aware
North Texas, Engine Off North Texas, Freight North
Texas, HOV 2+ Incentive Program (GoCarma), Know
Before You Fly, National Drive Electric Week, Ozone
Season Emissions Reduction Campaign (Air North
Texas), Report Smoking Vehicles Program, Saving
Money and Reducing Truck Emissions, Transit COVID
Recovery Campaign, and Flexible Funding for Public
Involvement/Notifications. Flexible Funding for Public
Involvement/Notifications is for possible unanticipated
costs that may arise, such as a specialized public
meeting series that may need notifications posted.
Education campaigns will be in multiple languages and
may be presented through out-of-home advertising,
print, screen, online, audio, and social media mediums.
