Here’s the Game Plan.
Several key points for this advisory group include:
The Perdue Administration, NCDOT Secretary Gene Conti, and the entire management team at NCDOT are committed to working collaboratively with local governments.
Several studies and commissions have cited the need to improve policy and working relations between NCDOT and local governments. Recently, 21st Century Transportation Committee recommended a cooperative and collaborative working relationship between NCDOT and local governments.
The Legislatively appointed Committee noted that NCDOT should assist local governments in coordinating land-use and transportation planning and that NCDOT should explore opportunities for improved delivery and efficiency of existing transportation services by working with the state local government associations (NCLM, NCACC, etc).
