Body
BACKGROUND
The State of Texas received Regional Toll Revenue (RTR) Funds from the North Texas Tollway Authority as surplus revenue from the State Highway (SH) 121 Toll Project. Pursuant to Transportation Code, 228.006, the State of Texas shall authorize the use of surplus revenue from a toll project for transportation projects, highway projects, or air quality projects within the Texas Department of Transportation TxDOT district in which any part of the toll project is located. The Regional Transportation Council (RTC), which is the transportation policy body of the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the federally designated metropolitan planning organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, was designated by the Texas Transportation Commission on October 26, 2006, to select and oversee projects to be financed using RTR Funds.
On February 22, 2024, the RTC selected the project to be funded from the SH 121 Subaccount with concurrence from the Texas Transportation Commission, by Minute Order No. 116654. This funding will aid in the construction of a structure to mitigate the environmental impacts (visual and sound) from the City’s storm water pump station being constructed at the southeast corner of McCallum Boulevard and Hillcrest Road to accommodate Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Silverline.
This action will authorize an Advanced Funding Agreement with TxDOT to accept RTR Funds from the SH 121 Subaccount for the construction of a structure to mitigate the environmental impacts (visual and sound) from the City’s storm water pump station being constructed at the southeast corner of McCallum Boulevard and Hillcrest Road within the City of Dallas.
