WELCOME
The Local Programs Management Office (LPMO) provides a variety of services to Local governments as they engage with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The primary objective of the LPMO is to establish policy and procedures for those projects that are administered by a Local Government Agency, or LGA.
NCDOT passes through federal and/or state funds to LGAs, in order to implement a project, program, or study. Federal funding comes through (primarily) the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). State funds are appropriated by the NC General Assembly. An LGA can be a Municipality, County, or State Agency, who proposes to construct a transportation project or carry out a transportation program. Non-profit groups may also implement projects.
The LPM Office is committed to establishing appropriate oversight in order to ensure the best use of public funds, whether state or federal, and compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations.
NCDOT programs projects in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) to receive federal or state money on the basis of recommendations of Municpal or Rural Planning Organizations (MPOs and RPOs), NCDOT Staff, and Board of Transportation Members.
Local Governments are responsible for carring out the design and construction of the project, or implementation of the program. NCDOT's role is to advise, approve and oversee the proper expenditure of funds by an LGA on an eligible project or program. FHWA holds NCDOT accountable to ensure that Federal funds are expended correctly and appropriately.
The State Auditor holds NCDOT accountable for the responsible expenditure of state funds.
The LPM Office has oversight of multiple funding programs including Transportation Enhancement (TE), Direct Attributable (DA), Earmarks or High Priority funds, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), and select Bicycle and Pedestrian funds, and will provide assistance for those areas of NCDOT that oversee Safe Routes to School (SRTS), Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects, Municipal Bridge(MB) and Division Enhancement projects.
