by Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) for FY 2022;

Department of Transportation (NCDOT); and
• Authorize the County Attorney to review and complete the necessary 2022 certifications
and assurances when they are received (2021 versions attached as examples).
BACKGROUND: Each year, the NCDOT Public Transportation Division accepts requests for
operations and administrative needs for county-operated Urbanized Area Formula Grant
applications. OCTS is eligible to make an application for both operations and administrative
funding. NCDOT has allotted $331,406 in funds detailed breakdown is outlined in the table below:
5307 Grant Application: FY22
Total $ 331,406
Federal $ 165,703
Local $ 165,703
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The department will utilize currently available carryover funds from Article
43 Transit Tax proceeds to cover the required local match and can propose the allocation of these
funds in a future Budget Amendment for consideration by the Board of Commissioners.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable
to this item.
GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND
INEQUITY
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color;
religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic
background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential, or economic status.
GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs, and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing, and medical care for themselves and their
dependents.
OCTS provides opportunities for access to jobs and services to many individuals. The 5307 Grant
provides Orange County access to funds to support its urban transportation infrastructure that
promotes economic self-sufficiency to a wide range of residents and locations. The funds
additionally support a system that enhances the access of residents in the non-urbanized areas
to health care, shopping, education, employment, public services, and recreation.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The following Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impact is applicable to this item:
CLEAN OR AVOIDED TRANSPORTATION
Implement programs that monitor and improve local and regional air quality by 1) promoting
public transportation options; 2) decreasing dependence on single-occupancy vehicles,
and 3) otherwise minimizing the need for travel.
The 5307 Grant provides Orange County access to funds to support its urban transportation
infrastructure that promotes the use of clean diesel and alternative-fueled vehicles. Which results
in reduced carbon emissions in high-density and at-risk populations?
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed grant application;
2. Close the public hearing;
3. Approve the Urbanized Area Formula Grant application for FY 2022 in the total amount of
$331,406 with a local match total of $165,703 to be provided when necessary;
4. Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Local Share Certification for Funding form
and other associated documents; and
5. Authorize the County Attorney to review and complete the necessary 2022 certifications
and assurances when they are received (2021 versions attached as examples).
