3.1. Regional Transportation Council Local Funds Requested as Match
on Department of Energy-Funded Projects
Presenter: Lori Clark, NCTCOG
Item Summary: Staff will request approval to use Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) Local funds to satisfy
match requirements for two Department of Energy
(DOE) proposals and a State Energy Conservation
Office (SECO) project.
Background: The North Central Texas Council of Governments
(NCTCOG) has been asked to partner on six
proposals competing for funding through the
Department of Energy’s Fiscal Year 2022 Vehicle
Technologies Office Program Wide Funding
Opportunity (DE-FOA-0002611). As a partner,
NCTCOG would be a subrecipient for funding. Two of
the proposals require matching funds, totaling up to
$300,000 in match for up to $300,000 in federal
funds. RTC Local funds will be requested to satisfy
these match requirements. The North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) stands to receive
federal funds with no match requirement on the other
four proposals. In addition, NCTCOG has been
awarded $200,000 in DOE funds by SECO to
continue regional energy management work. This is a
continuation of work completed collaboratively by the
NCTCOG Transportation Department and
Environment and Development Departments which
began four years ago. The award and resulting work
will be split between the departments to further energy
efficiency and renewable energy efforts in the region.
The award of $200,000 federal funds requires match
of $40,000. Both the award and match will be shared
equally between departments. Up to $20,000 RTC
Local funds will be requested. More information is
available in Electronic Item 3.1.
