ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: June 6, 2023
Action Agenda
Item No. 8-m
SUBJECT: Orange County FY 2024 Annual Transit Work Program
DEPARTMENT: Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS)
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
1. FY 2024 Annual Work Program Nishith Trivedi, Transportation Director,
Revisions 919-245-2007
2. FY 2024 Annual Work Program
PURPOSE: To approve the Fiscal Year 2024 Orange County Annual Work Program as amended.
BACKGROUND: On April 21, 2023, GoTriangle's leadership, acting through approval by the
GoTriangle Board of Trustees, delivered correspondence to the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) and Orange County leadership. The
correspondence describing the intent to no longer contribute 50% of the Regional Transit Authority
Vehicle Rental Tax, as defined in North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) §105-550 through
NCGS § 105-556, to the Orange, Durham, and Wake County Transit Program(s) for the FY 2024
budget, effective July 21, 2023. This action would reduce the allocation of Vehicle Rental Tax
revenue shown in the Recommended FY 2024 Orange Transit Work Program's Tax District
Revenues by $697,366.
Below is a recommendation — from GoTriangle — to partially mitigate the revenue removed from
the Work Program for FY 2024 (Attachment 1). However, balancing the FY 2024 Work Program
will also require an application of fund balance which will not be sustainable over the long run.
• $697,369 reduction in Vehicle Rental Tax from $739,941 to $42,572 ($0.7M / 365 days
21 Days of July)
• $350,000, shift funding for New Regional Transit Facility (Orange County share for
Regional Transit Center (RTC) - Construction funding moved to FY25-FY28 to reflect
updated project schedule
• $150,000, revised allocation for Regional Fleet and Faculties Study Implementation -
Nelson Road - due to a change in the agreed upon cost share based on relative share of
revenue hours of transit-plan funded services among the three counties in FY 2030
This action will provide a balanced budget for the FY 2024 Orange Transit Work Program and
allow all programmed projects in FY 2024 to move forward. The Governance Interlocal Agreement
(ILA) parties are evaluating the impacts of any longer-term removal of the vehicle rental tax
allocation from the adopted Orange Transit financial model. It is anticipated that this work will
2
require an update to the Orange County Transit Vision Plan and Financial Model in FY 2024,
including the impacts to planned projects and programs in future years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County receives quarterly reimbursements from GoTriangle for all
Orange County specific projects approved in the Annual Work Program (AWP). Orange County
does not receive any funds where local jurisdictions or regional agency are the project sponsor
(e.g. Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Mebane, GoTriangle).
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 approve on the FY 2024
Annual Work Program as amended (Attachment 2).

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.

BACKGROUND
The governing boards of GoTriangle, DCHC MPO, and the Orange County Board of Commissioners
adopted the first Bus and Rail Investment Plan in 2012, prior to the referendum on the transit sales tax.
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.

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.

FY 2024 ORANGE TRANSIT WORK PROGRAM
FY 2024 REVENUES
A total of$10.7 million in expected local 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; $42,572 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

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 $950,498. 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 SWG, 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 SWG administrator also drafts the
16
work program and other supporting documents for the SWG. The total budgeted for transit plan
administration in FY24 is $629,245.
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$469,904 from a fund balance account projected to contain
about$4.2M dollars at the end of FY 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. The
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.
