Every two years, the NCDOT releases a 10 year capital program for transportation improvements statewide known as the STIP or TIP. The Cabarrus-Rowan MPO receives a subset of this program for Cabarrus and Rowan Counties. From this subset, the MPO develops a local TIP that is distributed to the public and ultimately approved by the MPO or TAC and NCDOT. In addition, the MPO has a methodology for ranking local project submittals to the NCDOT as part of the Strategic Transportation Investments Law. The Cabarrus-Rowan MPO released the local methodology for scoring projects on March 25th. Comments will be received thru May 26th via email or fax at 704-795-7529. The methodology can be found here.
