  1. Under North Carolina's Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, what share of funding is allocated to the Statewide Mobility category?

    Answer: 40%

    STI allocates 40% to Statewide Mobility, 30% to Regional Impact, and 30% to Division Needs.

  2. Which document lists NCDOT's scheduled and funded transportation projects over a ten-year window?

    Answer: State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)

    The STIP is NCDOT's 10-year schedule of funded projects, updated every two years.

  3. A project activity has a total float of zero. What does this indicate?

    Answer: The activity is on the critical path

    Zero-float activities form the critical path, so any delay to them delays project completion.

  4. In earned value management, a Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 0.85 means the project is:

    Answer: Over budget

    CPI = EV/AC, and a value below 1.0 means more is being spent than the value earned.

  5. Which NCDOT unit is primarily responsible for scoring projects for the STIP using data-driven criteria?

    Answer: Strategic Prioritization Office of Transportation (SPOT)

    SPOT manages the data-driven prioritization process that scores projects for STI funding.

    Answer: Liquidated damages

    Liquidated damages are pre-set daily charges for late completion specified in the contract.

  7. Which project delivery method gives one contract to a single entity for both design and construction?

    Answer: Design-Build

    Design-Build combines design and construction under one contract, which can shorten delivery time.
