North Central Texas Council of Governments
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is a voluntary association of, by and for local governments, and was established to assist local governments in planning for common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, and coordinating for sound regional development.
North Central Texas Council of Governments
NCTCOG's purpose is to strengthen both the individual and collective power of local governments and to help them recognize regional opportunities, eliminate unnecessary duplication, and make joint decisions.

The Regional Transportation Council (RTC), comprised primarily of local elected officials, is the independent regional transportation policy body associated with NCTCOG.
As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), NCTCOG and the RTC are responsible for the planning and implementation of transportation programs and projects aimed at reducing congestion, improving mobility and improving air quality.
Staff support to NCTCOG and the RTC is provided by the Transportation Department.

The boundaries of a Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) shall be determined by agreement between the MPO and the Governor. At a minimum, the MPA boundaries shall encompass the entire existing urbanized area (as defined by the Bureau of the Census) plus the contiguous area expected to become urbanized within a 20-year forecast period for the metropolitan transportation plan.

Sustainable Development InitiativesBicycle and Pedestrian Coordination
The Regional VelowebA 644-mile interconnected network of off-street trails designed to provide safe efficient mobility to pedestrians, cyclists, and in-line skaters.
Design Considerations:Concrete surfaceDesign speed of 25 miles per hourRecommended width of 12 feetto accommodate a variety of usersGrade separated crossingsFew, if any, signalized or stop sign intersections Easy access from roadways, particularly on-street bicycle routes
Mobility 2030, NCTCOG Veloweb StrategyEncourage consistent local government action that incorporates
bicycle and pedestrian facilities into policies and planning for new developments.
Coordinate local government, transit agency, and TxDOT activities to preserve right-of-way for corridors and promote grade separated intersections.
Prioritize funding recommendations based on locations that provide access to transit, access to high exposure areas, or complete a trail connection.
Promote transportation plans that provide regional connectivity.
Identify activity centers on the Veloweb plan and focus on constructing the Veloweb extending outward from the centers.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordination

Is There A Correlation?
A study conducted by Rutgers University and the Center of Disease Control and Prevention observed that “people who live in counties with walkable neighborhoods walk more and weigh less than their car-dependent counterparts.”
* SMARTRAQ (Strategies for Metro Atlanta’s Transportation and Air Quality)
SMARTRAQ* research established a relationship between land use patterns and transportation behavior; high density, mixed use developments with interconnected streets resulted in communities with higher levels of biking, walking, and transit use.
Is There A Solution?Creating Healthy Communities
By promoting behavior changes to alter obesity, transportation, and land use trends that are contributing to a deteriorating quality of life.
How is this accomplished???
Zone for mixed use development.
Provide alternative modes of transportation.
Promote a healthy, fitness-friendly, and walkable lifestyle.
Advance development strategies that are sustainable.

Sustainable Development InitiativesTransit-Oriented Development (TOD)
What is Transit-Oriented Development?
A Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a compact, mixed-use, walkable community centered around a transit station, making it possible to increase quality of life without complete dependence on a car for mobility and survival.
Why create a Transit-Oriented Development?
To decrease traffic congestion To provide an alternative to suburbia and strip developmentTo provide a quality urban lifestyleTo provide a more walkable lifestyle away from trafficTo address changes in family structures: more singles, empty-nesters, etc.

Factors Affecting Private Investmentin Transit-Oriented Development
A recent market assessment shows that at least a quarter of all new households could be looking for housing in transit zones over the next 25 years.
AARP reports that 71 percent of older households want to live within walking distance of transit.
Real estate forecasters and investment experts are advising their clients to invest in mixed use communities.
Emerging market for TOD includes empty-nesters, singles, couples without children, and the transit dependent.
Whether the market is able to deliver this type of housing is largely dependent on putting the appropriate public policies in place.
* Reconnecting America’s Center for Transit-Oriented Development, Hidden In Plain Sight; Capturing The Demand For Housing Near Transit, September 2004.
** Transit Zone Households include households within a half-mile radius around both existing and planned future stations.
Transit-Oriented Development ImplementationAssessment of the National Market*
Features of successful Transit-Oriented Development:
A size of approximately a half-mile radius. This average radius is intended to represent a ‘comfortable walking distance’ for most people.
A mix of uses to promote pedestrian activity in the TOD area. Uses should include retail for everyday living (grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc.), specialty retail, office space, restaurants, public space, and housing.
Development oriented to the street, the pedestrian, and the human scale. Buildings should have entries, windows, balconies, porches, and architectural features that create safe, functional, and interesting walking environments.

Breaking Ground on a Transit-Oriented Development
Identify general station areas.Corridor Evaluation
Identify parcels based on access and visibility.
Secure funds.Project Implementation
Establish a zone in which TOD would be accepted and marketable.
Station Area Preparation
Establish a TIF, PID, BID, MMD to support infrastructure.
Adopt P&Z that supports higher density development through minimum density requirements or land use forms.
Establish development incentives.
Update comprehensive plan to support more intense development within zone.
Bank land for future development.
Create design guidelines.

2002 66 percent greater increase in multi-family residential valuations around DART Stations than control areas.
2002 115 percent greater increase in office valuations around DART Stations than control areas.

Private Investment: $150 million
Public Investment: $2.4 million CMAQ Funds for Katy Trail improvements
Rail Investment: about $50 million for station construction
Mockingbird Station has created an urban environment that offers living, shopping, and dining directly accessible by DART light rail.
The City of Addison has invested $10.7 million in the Addison Circle project.
Initial land value: $23.7 million
Current property values in the Addison Circle District total $213.2 million, a 20:1 investment ratio.
Annual property tax revenue from the assessed values, at the current tax rate, would provide over $1 million in revenue.

Sustainable Development InitiativesBrownfield Revolving Loan Fund (RLF)
A Brownfield is defined as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.”
Source: Environmental Protection Agency
In May 2007, NCTCOG was awarded a $3 million Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grant from the EPA. The RLF Grant provides funding for the capitalization of a revolving loan fund to provide low- or no-interest loans to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites throughout the region.
NCTCOG partnered with these area transit agencies:
Fort Worth Transportation AuthorityDallas Area Rapid TransitDenton County Transportation AuthorityCletrans-City of Cleburne
Funding will be utilized to clean up sites that will eventually be used for sustainable developments. NCTCOG’s focus for the first round of the RLF program will be on transit-oriented development.
NCTCOG has finalized a cooperative agreement with the EPA, and anticipates issuing a Call For Projects in late 2008 through early 2009.
