Every year, NCTCOG's Public Works program is updated and paid for cooperatively by cites and counties across North Central Texas. The FY2009 Public Works Program (PDF) has been approved ty the Public Works Council.
 Public Works Council
The Public Works Council (PWC), initially established as the Public Works Advisory Committee in 1984, provides expertise and support to the Executive Board and staff on a wide range of local public works issues. For example, the PWC provides continuing advice regarding the Public Works Construction Standards - North Central Texas, as well as such issues as managing right-of-way, comprehensive and consistent storm water management through iSWM, and regional pavement design guidance, as well as identified subregional issues.

Public Works Roundup
Beginning in 1999, NCTCOG began hosting the Public Works Roundup. The latest edition of presentations from the 9th Annual Roundup on April 17, 2008 is now available. You may view all presentations in Flash format at this page.
 Construction Standards
Management of public works facilities is a very important component of the responsibilities of cities, counties, and special districts across North Central Texas. The quality of the region’s infrastructure (its roads, water distribution, wastewater collection, and storm drainage systems) has always been a high priority and a source of pride for its communities. The Public Works Council created the Public Works Construction Standards to guide infrastructure development in North Central Texas.
Sustainable Public Rights of Way
A local government exists to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Whether it be providing roads for safe and efficient mobility, utilities for clean drinking water and removal of waste, parks for recreation, or storm water management for protection from flooding, public works is the backbone of that existence.

integrated Storm Water Management
Development and redevelopment by their nature increase the amount of imperviousness in our surrounding environment. This increased imperviousness translates into loss of natural areas, more sources for pollution in runoff, and heightened flooding risks. To help mitigate these impacts, more than 60 local governments are cooperating to proactively create sound storm water management guidance for the region through the integrated Storm Water Management (iSWM) project.
