Summary

Greene County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding to join a regional rural transportation planning organization (East Carolina RPO) to be hosted in Wayne County; staff said per-county matching funds would remain about $5,005.87 and DOT would cover a substantial share of costs.

Greene County commissioners voted to approve a memorandum of understanding that will place the East Carolina regional rural transportation planning organization (RPO) in Wayne County and involve Greene County and neighboring counties in regional transportation planning.

A staff member told commissioners that Greene County had previously worked through the East Carolina Council and that the new arrangement would “reset” the RPO in Wayne County where county manager staff include a transportation planner. The staff presentation said matching funds would remain similar to current levels and cited a per-county match figure: “Our current, matching funds, I believe, for the RPO are, like, $5,005.87.”

Staff said the Department of Transportation (DOT) wants local planning organizations in place to help prioritize projects and award points for new roads and projects. Commissioners moved and seconded the MOU approval and carried the motion by voice vote. The action does not, in the transcript, list a roll-call of individual votes or additional financial commitments beyond the stated match figure.
