wants the MPO to include Orange County priority projects that received a high ranking in the Triangle Area Rural 48
Planning Organization (TARPO), and are within the recently expanded DCHC Metropolitan Area Boundary. Karen 49
added that priority projects for the 2012-2020 TIP are due to NCDOT by July, which means DCHC MPO and TARPO 50
must approve any new priority projects in June . NCDOT will reprioritize projects previously submitted for the TIP that 51
are not funded . NCDOT will prioritize the projects, and send those results to the regional agencies. The regional 52
