Annual Work Program Nishith Trivedi, Transportation Director, 2. Public Comments 919-245-2007 PURPOSE: To receive a presentation and consider action on the Orange County Annual Transit Work Program (AWP). BACKGROUND: In 2011, the Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) authorized a referendum for a half-cent sales tax to expand public transit in Orange County. The funding is limited to public transit improvements identified in the Orange County Transit Plan approved by the County, the GoTriangle Board, and the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) Board. All three boards must approve any material changes and amendments to the plan. This plan was recently updated due to the discontinuation of the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit project in 2019. An Interlocal Implementation Agreement (ILA) approved by the three boards in 2013 outlines the roles and responsibilities of each agency for the administration of the funding. It does not specifically address the development of the annual Work Program. A new ILA was approved by Orange County BOCC in February 2023. The new ILA provides a specific process for the development of the Work Program including approval by the BOCC ahead of approval by the GoTriangle Board. The Staff Working Group (SWG) met on February 15, 2023 and released the draft FY24 Work Program for public comment. DCHC MPO currently serves as the Staff Working Group administrator. Orange County is represented on the SWG by Transportation Services Director Nish Trivedi, with Deputy County Manager Travis Myren as the alternate. The DCHC MPO and Go Triangle staff are also represented on the SWG. The Orange County Transit Plan and ILA are approved to get projects implemented quickly. Several of the bus operating projects were approved with the FY23 Work Program, and, unfortunately, additional bus operating improvements and expansions for Orange County specific projects were not included, with the exception of Mobility-on-Demand. Any new FY24 Work Program County projects would require an amendment to the Orange County Transit Plan. If Transit Plan and Work Program approvals take place concurrently, no additional amendment approval will be necessary. If not, a Transit Plan Amendment would need to be approved by the BOCC. 2 The public comment period closed on March 28, 2023 and all public comments (Attachment 2) are incorporated into the Annual Work Program. The Annual Work Program will be submitted to GoTriangle Board for their annual budget and approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County receives quarterly reimbursements from Go Triangle for all Orange County specific projects approved in the AWG. Orange County does not receive any funds where local jurisdictions are the project sponsor (e.g. Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Mebane). 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. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The following Orange County Environmental 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. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the presentation and approve on the FY24 Annual Work Program (Attachment 1). 3 GO FORWARD A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT ORANGE COUNTY FY24 TRANSIT WORK PROGRAM DURHAM • CHAPEL HILL • CARRBORO DCHC ORANGE COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION PLANNING TOMORROW'S TRANSPORTATION GO Triangle 4 SUMMARY The FY24 Work Program balances the careful use of taxpayer dollars with planned transit investments. While previous Work Programs focused on completing projects included in the 2017 Orange Transit Plan, the FY24 Work Program looks to initiate new services identified in the Orange County Transit Plan. Even with the new services, FY24 continues operating improvements for Orange County transit users: • Additional service on Chapel Hill Transit routes A, CM, CW, D, F, HS, J, and NS • Additional service on GoTriangle routes 400, 405, 800, CRX and ODX • Continuation of the Hillsborough Circulator • Expansion of GoTriangle Paratransit service In addition to the above services, most of which have been provided for many years, there are some relatively new operating services that will continue in FY24: • The Hillsborough Amtrak Train Station and co-located bus stop • An annual installment for replacement bus purchases The primary capital improvement in the FY24 Work Program remains the Chapel Hill Transit North-South Bus Rapid Transit (N-S BRT) project. Funding is available in FY24 and beyond to continue the planning, design, and construction for this project. In addition to the N-S BRT, the following capital projects are funded: • The Hillsborough Amtrak Train Station and co-located bus stop • An annual installment for replacement bus purchases • Vehicle acquisition and replacement • Regional Fleet and Facilties Study Implementation - Nelson Road FY 2024 expenditures balance with revenues, primarily due to significant sales tax revenue growth. The North-South BRT project implements an important transit plan capital investment. 5 PROJECTED '/2 Cent Sales Tax $9,500,000 Vehicle Rental Tax $739,941 $3 Registration Fee $358,222 $7 Registration Fee $831,178 TOTAL $11,429,341 PROPOSED Transit Infrastructure $836,000 Vehicle Acquisition $212,160 BRT $4,000,000 TOTAL $5,048,160 PROPOSED OPERATING Transit Plan Administration $628,525 Transit Operations $5,203,218 Tax District Administration $321,253 TOTAL $6,153,716 ORANGE CAPITAL FUND :APROJECTED END 2024 Fund Balance projected at end of FY 2023 —$4,000,000 Proposed FY 24 Fund Balance Transfer $227,465 TOTAL —$4,227,465 This proposed work plan designates funding to five (5) agencies in FY24: Orange County/OPT, Chapel Hill/CHT.

Following adoption of the transit sales tax referendum and passage of the Orange County transit sales tax referendum in 2012,an Interlocal Agreement(ILA)was adopted by the three parties in 2013.The ILA guides the overall implementation of the four transit tax funds and the expanded transit network they are used to fund. The ILA also created the Staff Working Group (SWG), comprised of staff from the three ILA parties. ORANGE COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA I Orange Transit Plan DURHAM•CHAPEL IAILL•CARRBDRO DCHCTriangle METROPOUTAM PLAWNG ORGANfZAT10M Per the ILA, the SWG is charged with producing a recommended Orange Annual Transit Work Program (Work Program), comprised of annual operating and capital budgets, including future assumptions of spending on those operating and capital projects. This Draft FY24 Work Program operates under the current Orange Transit Plan and anticipates a 2023 adopted Orange Transit Plan by the GoTriangle Board of Trustees, the DCHC MPO Board, and the Orange County Board of Commissioners. The Draft FY24 Work Program incorporates high-priority projects identified through the planning process for the new Orange County Transit Plan. Those projects that require an amendment to the 2017 Plan, per the existing ILA, will undergo that process prior to adoption of the FY24 Work Program. There is a process underway to examine the ILA and make recommendations for amendments. It is likely that a new ILA will be adopted and in place for the FY24 Work Program. 7 FY 2024 DRAFT ORANGETRANSIT WORK PROGRAM FY 2024 REVENUES A total of$11.4 million in expected revenues is budgeted in the FY24 Work Program from the four funding sources available to the transit tax district, as provided in NC law. The largest source of funds is the half- cent local option sales tax. Administered by GoTriangle, the local sales tax went into effect in 2013. The total amount of expected revenue in FY24 from the half-cent sales tax for Orange County is$9.5 million. In addition to the half-cent sales tax, the FY24 Work Program has three other revenue sources: A portion of the 5% vehicle rental tax that is apportioned to Orange County; $740k is projected for FY24. A $3 county vehicle registration fee; $358,222 is projected for FY24. A$7 county vehicle registration fee to fund public transportation systems; $831,178 is projected for FY24. FY 2024 EXPENDITURES The expenditures described below are divided between operations (including administration), and capital. Projected Operations Expenditures: $6,153,716 million New Operations Projects: $264,945 The FY23 Work Program continues all service enhancements from the 2017 Orange Transit Plan and have been funded in previous work programs, with no cuts to existing operations. These operations projects include additional service (above 2013 levels) on the following Chapel Hill Transit (highlighted in blue), Orange Public Transit (highlighted in Orange), and GoTriangle (highlighted in green) routes: • CHT A • CHT CM • CHT CW • CHT D • CHT F • CHT HS • CHT J • CHT JS • Hillsborough Circulator • Mobility On-Demand • Route 400 • Route 405 • Route 800 • ODX • CRX 8 rn kIA urham p,, rn ® Regional Transit Facility O Hillsborough Train Station -CHT Improved Routes CHT INS BRT OPT Improved Route GoTriangle Improved Routes Esri,HERE,Garrnin,JcJ OpenStreetMap contributors,and the GIS user community In addition to these route-specific improvements, beginning with funding in FY21, Chapel Hill Transit expanded services throughout its system on Saturdays and Sundays, including expansion of the on- demand EZ Rider service. More information on each of the operations improvements are available in the project sheets later in this document. Nationwide, there has been a shortage of bus operators which has required service reductions in both Orange and Durham counties. Chapel Hill Transit will focus on returning to normal operations once a full staffing of bus operators can be achieved prior to any route expansion. Included as part of the operations budget, administrative services for the transit plan and the transit tax district are provided by GoTriangle, Orange County, and the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO). The total programmed budget for administrative services in FY24 is $893,470. Ongoing administrative services increased by 2.5 percent from FY23,which is the standard cost of living increase for all projects year over year. Administrative costs are broken out into two distinct functions: transit plan administration and transit tax district administration. Administration of the transit plan is conducted by two entities: GoTriangle and Orange County. GoTriangle provides transit planning, public outreach, and legal and administrative support services. Furthermore, the necessary oversight and administration of GoTriangle's capital and operating projects are handled through transit plan administration. Orange County hosts the Staff Working Group (SWG) administrator, who is responsible for coordination of the SWIG, which includes staff representatives for the parties to the ILA and makes recommendations on budget issues, oversees implementation of the transit plan and annual work program, and prepares the draft annual work program for adoption. The SWIG administrator also drafts the 9 work program and other supporting documents for the SWG. The total budgeted for transit plan administration in FY24 is $628,525. GoTriangle staff manage the financial aspects of the Orange Transit Tax District. In addition to managing the budgets and reimbursements as called for in the annual work programs, Orange Transit Tax District staff handle all fiduciary responsibilities for the Orange Transit Plan as a whole, including financial modelling for the development of the new Orange Transit Plan.The total budgeted for transit tax district administration is $321,253. This amount includes a request from GoTriangle for an additional 0.25 FTE (1/4 of the cost of an additional staff member)to improve the services and responsiveness of tax district administration. Projected Capital Expenditures: $5,048,160 The capital projects budgeted in FY24 are in three categories: bus rapid transit(BRT),transit infrastructure, and vehicle acquisition. More detail on each project can be found in the project sheets at the end of this document. Funding continues for development of Chapel Hill Transit's North-South Bus Rapid Transit (N-S BRT) project, which will provide service from the Eubanks park-and-ride lot to Southern Village, also serving downtown Chapel Hill and the UNC campus and hospital. In FY24, $4,000,000 is designated for N-S BRT. The remaining capital funds for FY23, $212,160, is an annual contribution to future purchases of replacement vehicles for service supported by the transit tax. The useful life of a bus ranges from 10-15 years, and bus purchases for operations that are funded by the Orange Transit Tax Fund are an eligible expense. GoTriangle is introducing a new methodology for vehicle acquisition planning in FY23. Rather than setting aside a large amount of funds in the year in which the vehicles are to be ordered, making it difficult to make any other capital improvements in that year, instead GoTriangle is beginning a "level buying" program, in which a set amount of money is set aside each year for future purchases. The proposed FY24 work program will shift at least$227,465 to a fund balance account projected to contain about$4.2M dollars at the end of FY 2023. 10 FY24 Triangle Transit Tax District: Orange County ProposedAdopted+ Revenues Tax District Revenues Article 43 Half-Cent Sales and Use Tax $ 9,500,000 Article 50 Five-Percent Vehicle Rental Tax $ 739,941 Article 51 Three-Dollar Increase to Regional Vehicle Registration Fee $ 358,222 Article 52 Seven-Dollar County Vehicle Registration Fee $ 831,178 Total Revenues $ 11,429,341 Expenditures Tax District Administration Staff Costs $ 192,000 Support Services $ 129,253 Transit Plan Administration DCHC MPO $ 39,806 Orange County/OPT $ 61,100 GoTriangle $ 528,339 Transit Operations GoTriangle $ 1,154,730 Orange County/OPT $ 1,201,103 Chapel Hill/CHT $ 2,847,385 Total FY24 Operating Allocation $ 6,153,716 Transit Infrastructure GoTriangle $ 550,000 Town of Hillsborough $ 286,000 Vehicle Acquisition GoTriangle $ 212,160 BRT Chapel Hill/CHT $ 4,000,000 Total FY24 Capital Allocation $ 5,048,160 Total FY24 Workplan Programmed Expenditure* $ 11,201,876 Allocation To Fund balance $ 227,465 Total Programmed Expenditures* $ 11,429,341 Revenues over Expenditures $ -

The project sheet will request Road funding for phases of construction required to operate Agency GoTriangle services identified in the Transit Plan. FY24 Costs $500,000 The ongoing fleet and facilities study is evaluating con- straints and needs for maintenance, storage, fueling, and servicing capacity as well as work-flow efficiency at FY25 Programmed $525,000 the GoTriangle Nelson Road bus operations and mainte- Costs nance facility. The outcome of this study will include site selection, schematic design, and cost estimates for a new Start Date July 2023 and/or expanded facility. The study includes a regional coordination element to identify opportunities for shared facilities for vehicle storage, servicing, and/or repairs. Theo study has identified onsite expansion and renovation of the current Nelson Road facility as the most cost effective option to address current needs and provide opportunity to address future fleet needs over the course of the useful life of the renovated facility (40+ years). The completed study will include phases and associated costs of han- dling the fleet required to operate the services identified in the Bus Plan. The GoTriangle Operations and Maintenance Facility at 5201 Nelson Rd, Morrisville, NC was originally construct- ed in 1998. In 2006, the facility was updated to add space for administrative functions. GoTriangle is currently operating near capacity of the existing facility. GoTrian- gle's Regional Fleet and Facilities Study recommends the design, renovation, and expansion of their Nelson Road Operations and Maintenance Facility. This capital improvement will add the needed capacity required to accommodate GoTriangle's projected fixed-route fleet of 120 buses, including vehicles needed for operations in Wake, Orange and Durham Counties, through 2050. The renovation and expansion will also include updates to better accommodate the facility's administrative func- tionality. The Regional Fleet and Facilities study has also projected the need to relocate GoTriangle's paratransit maintenance and servicing to a new facility to reach full build-out, the funding for which is not included in this project's design and construction allocation. Facility costs to update the Nelson Road facility will be shared across GoTriangle's service areas.
