| Public Asked to Provide Feedback on Draft Schedule for Transportation Projects Posted: 06 Mar 2015 07:08 AM PST RALEIGH - The N.C. Department of Transportation is asking the public to provide feedback on the Draft 10-Year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). This is the first STIP developed under the new Strategic Transportation Investments law, which established the Strategic Mobility Formula. NCDOT is hosting 10 information sessions across the state between March 17 and April 23, to receive input on the steps leading to and resulting in the Draft STIP. Anyone who cannot attend a session in person can easily view the materials and submit their comments electronically through MindMixer, an online public engagement tool. During the past year and a half, NCDOT has been working with the legislature, local planning organizations, and other stakeholders across the state to implement the law and develop the 2016-2025 STIP. NCDOT wants the public's feedback on: · The process to develop the STIP and ideas for improvement · The variety and geographic diversity of the projects The feedback period runs through April 23. The 2016-2025 Draft STIP, the first under STI, is one of the department's most comprehensive programs ever. The document includes 1,073 projects across all transportation modes and all 100 counties. The Board of Transportation is expected to approve the Final 2016-2025 STIP in June, which will be the final step in implementing STI. Feedback from the information sessions will be shared with the Board and used by the Prioritization Workgroup for consideration in the next round of project prioritization and by the department in the development of the 2018-2027 STIP. ***NCDOT***

| NCDOT Highlights Its Weekly Events On “NCDOT Now” Posted: 06 Mar 2015 06:58 AM PST Raleigh – Every week, the N.C. Department of Transportation is involved with numerous activities throughout communities around the state. These events are highlighted in a weekly news video program called "NCDOT Now." To view this week's show, click here. Here are the events listed in this week's episode: NCDOT Centennial Celebration: One hundred years ago, the North Carolina General Assembly created the State Highway Commission, which laid the foundation for the modern day NCDOT. To celebrate this milestone, Governor Pat McCrory sat down with NCDOT Secretary Tony Tata and NCDOT Board Chairman Ned Curran Thursday before an auditorium filled with NCDOT Board members, employees and other state legislators to discuss pivotal moments in the department's history. "Today, we celebrate not only the past one hundred years of achievement, but we look forward to the next one hundred years," said N.C. Governor Pat McCrory. "Our state is dependent on the NCDOT to connect us to regions of great economic activity to promote further economic growth and bring the latest technology to our citizens." Among the milestones discussed include the beginning of passenger air service, the state's popular ferry system and when we became the first state to declare the bicycle as a vehicle. They also discussed the Highway Act of 1921, which authorized a one- cent- per- gallon gas tax to help pay for road improvements in this state and the Executive Organization Act of 1971, which combined the State Highway Commission and the Department of Motor Vehicles into an agency now known as NCDOT.

The State Transportation Map is produced every two years and highlights the state's new roads and updated rest areas. Six years ago, NCDOT transitioned from creating a one-year-to a two-year map to cut printing costs and save taxpayers' money. The new map is free and is available at welcome centers, rest areas and NCDOT offices across the state. You can also get a map by ordering online or by calling 1-800-VISITNC. Snow and Ice Costs: We now know how much it cost NCDOT to battle the recent back-to-back snow storms. So far, during this winter season, NCDOT crews have applied more than 136 tons of salt or sand/ salt mix and more than 4 million gallons of brine. In all, the department has spent about $53 million dollars this year battling the wintry weather statewide. Secretary Tony Tata thanked employees for their colossal efforts over the past two weeks for assessing conditions, treating roads with brine and clearing the snow and ice.

Governor's Highway Safety Program's " Booze It and Lose It Campaign:" Saint Patrick's Day is right around the corner and the Governor's Highway Safety Program is launching its "Booze It and Lose It" campaign to keep drunk drivers off of the road. Each year around this time, GHSP steps up law enforcement around the state to keep an eye out for motorists who could be driving under the influence. The campaign is designed to decrease the number of people who have died or have been injured due to drunk drivers. Last year, 340 people lost their lives in alcohol-related accidents. In North Carolina, if you're charged with Driving While Intoxicated, you could be fined $10,000, have your license revoked and your vehicle seized. This campaign starts March 13th and runs through the 17th. For more information on GHSP, click here.
