PURPOSE: To apply for $7,556 in special state funds to promote rural
general public transportation and enter into an agreement
with the NC Department of Transportation for FY 94-95.
BACKGROUND: Orange County Commissioners approved an updated Transpor-
tation Development Plan (TDP) on January 22, 1991 which
recognized C.A.T. as a Section 18 rural general public
system. Orange County is eligible for special state
funds to subsidize existing C.A.T. routes in order to
reduce the cost for general public riders. In addition
to the C.A.T. Express shuttle, three senior citizen daily
routes have been identified as available for public
ridership. NC Department of Transportation will reimburse
C.A.T. on a per trip basis. The purpose of the funds is
to encourage Section 18 programs to expand service to the
public in addition to human services agency clients. The
state funds will supplement county funds that support the
transportation routes.
The Orange County Human Services Transportation Board
reviewed the plan for rural general public transportation
at its April 26 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Manager recommends approval and Chair to sign the Certified
Statement of participation in the Rural General Public
Program.
