Then, the North Texas Zero Emission Vehicle (NTxZEV) Call for Projects will be discussed. NCTCOG received $60 million from the EPA’s Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program to replace heavy-duty vehicles with electric or hydrogen fuel cell models.

Additionally, the Management, Operations, and Air Quality Program will be reviewed. The program provides funding to improve regional air quality, reduce congestion, support transit, and enhance safety.

Residents using transit can take $6 round-trip rides from CentrePort/DFW Airport Station to NCTCOG via the Arlington Transportation app. Download the app at ArlingtonTX.gov/ondemand.

Special accommodations for disabilities or language interpretation can be requested by calling 817-608-2365 or emailing cbaylor@nctcog.org at least 72 hours before the meeting.
