2. Public Hearing Notice Manager, 919-245-2002
3. Public Comments
PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing on the Orange County FY 2025 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 the Plan and any material
changes to the Plan.
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. 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. Section 3.04 of the new Comprehensive Participation Agreement outlines
this process.
The Staff Working Group (SWG) met on January 19, 2024 and released the draft FY 2025 AWP
(Attachment 1) for public review. Orange County is a member of the SWG and serves as the Staff
Working Group administrator. DCHC MPO, Go Triangle and local town staff are also on the SWG,
per the Staff Work Group By-Laws.
The FY 2025 AWP is the implementation of the Transit Plan for FY 2025. Orange County has no
new transit projects programmed or funded. The County's Mobility-on-Demand, which increased
to six (6) days starting May 1, 2023, now serves as a continuous operational project. Any new
County specific transit 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, DCHC MPO and Go Triangle for more County specific transit improvements.
2
Public notice for the 30-day review period and public hearing was issued (Attachment 2). The
public comment period closes on February 29, 2024. No comments have been received to-date
(Attachment 3).
Next Step:
The Annual Work Program will come back to the BOCC for consideration in March, and then
reviewed by the GoTriangle Board for its annual budget and approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County receives quarterly reimbursements from GoTriangle 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 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.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board:
1. Receive the Draft FY 2025 Annual Work Program as detailed the attachments;
2. Conduct the public hearing and accept any public comment(s);
3. Close the public hearing; and
4. Provide any comments or questions.

SUMMARY
The Orange County FY25 Annual Work Program (AWP) balances the careful use of taxpayer dollars with planned transit
investments. The FY25 continues operating improvements for Orange County transit users:
• Improvements to Orange County Fixed Routes, Demand Response and Mobility-on-Demand
• 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
• Expansion of GoTriangle Paratransit service
The primary capital improvement in the FY25 Work Program remains the Chapel Hill Transit North-South Bus Rapid Transit
(N-S BRT) project. Funding is available in FY25 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
FY 2025 expenditures balance with revenues, primarily due to significant sales tax revenue growth.

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 three transit tax revenues and
the expanded transit network they are used to fund.The governing bodies of the ILA are:
• Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority(Go Triangle)
• Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan (DCHC MPO)
• Orange County
In 2023, The Comprehensive Participation Agreement (CPA) was approved by all project sponsors and updated the Staff
Working Group (SWG), comprised of staff from all CPA parties.

Per the ILA and CPA, the SWG is charged with producing a recommended Orange Annual Transit Work Plan (AWP)to the
governing boards. The AWP is comprised of annual operating and capital budgets, including future assumptions of
revenue and spending on those operating and capital projects. This Draft FY25 work program operates under the current
2022 Orange Transit Plan.

FY 2025 ORANGE TRANSIT WORK PROGRAM
r-o,® -n17 rl-." m
A total of$12.7 million in expected local revenues is budgeted in the FY25 Work Program from the three 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 FY25
from the half-cent sales tax for Orange County is $11.5 million. In addition to the half-cent sales tax, the FY25
Work Program has two other revenue sources. A portion of the $7 registration fee that is apportioned to Orange
County is projected to generate $843,646 for FY25, ad the $3 county vehicle registration fee is expected to
total,$363,596 in FY25.
FY 2025 EXPENDITURES
The expenditures described below are divided between operations(including administration), and capital.
• Operating
o FY 24 Adopted: $6,027,716
o FY 25 Submission: $6,632,798
• Capital
o FY 24 Adopted: $9,850,421
o FY 25 Submission: $5,091,351
The FY25 Work Program continues all service enhancements from the 2022 Orange Transit Plan that 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 Orange Public Transit, Chapel Hill Transit, and GoTriangle routes:

In addition to these route-specific improvements,
• Chapel Hill Transit expanded services throughout its system on Saturdays and Sundays, including expansion of the
on-demand EZ Rider service.
• Orange County Mobility-on-Demand expanded to six days a week on May 1,2023,and updated its ADA
Paratransit Plan in 2022.
• Rural transit services were improved through Orange County Demand Response in partnership with Department
of Aging and Department of Social Services.
More information on each of the operations improvements is available in the project sheets later in this document.
Included as part of the operations budget, administrative services for the transit plan and the transit tax district are
provided by Orange County, the MPO, and Go Triangle. The total programmed budget for administrative services
in FY25 is $1,006,036. Ongoing administrative services increased by 2.5 percent from FY24, which is the standard cost of
living increase for all projects year over year. Administrative costs are broken out into three distinct functions: transit
plan administration, staff working group administration, and transit tax district administration.
GoTriangle provides transit planning, public outreach, and legal and administrative support services, as well as 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
7
10
includes staff representatives from each of the parties to the ILA as well as staff representatives from each municipality
in Orange County. The Staff Working Group 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 work program and other supporting documents for the SWG. The proposed budget
includes $573,323 to Go Triangle, $40,801 to the MPO, and $62,628 to Orange County respectively for Transit plan
administration.
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 $329,284.
The capital projects budgeted in FY25 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 FY25, $4,000,000 is designated for N-S BRT. A total of$4,000,000 million is budgeted for the N-S
BRT project over the course of the next 2 years.
The remaining capital funds for FY25, $4,000,000, 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 are an eligible expense. GoTriangle is introducing a new
methodology for vehicle acquisition planning in FY25. 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,
GoTriangle is instead beginning a "level buying" program, in which a set amount of money is set aside each year
and allowed and allowed to accumulate future purchases.

UPDATE 231213: revised project cost per Fare Work Group Conversation
Due to the onset on the COVID pandemic in 2020, GoTriangle has remained fare free. According to the FY23 onboard
surveys completed, more riders have opted to use GoTriangle bus than prior to the pandemic.The surveys also indicate
32%of riders reported household incomes of less than $15,000 a year, increasing from 18% reported in 2019. As
GoTriangle prepares to return to fares in FY25, a Title VI equity analysis was completed to evaluate the effects of the fare
change on minority and low-income populations and to identify mitigation strategies if necessary.The analysis concluded
no disparate impacts or disproportionate burden were founded, mitigation strategies were proposed to maximize access
to discount fare programs for minority and low-income customers. GoTriangle is requesting funding allocation from
Orange County to provide zero fare passes for low-income qualifying individuals beginning in FY25. GoTriangle will work
with the Orange County Staff Working Group to identify qualifying measures and ensure necessary policies and
procedures are in place prior to July 1, 2024. GoTriangle is currently completing a study that will provide a framework for a
low-income fare program.This framework will be presented to the Orange County Staff Working Group and can be used to
assist in further developing of policies and procedures for the low-income fare program.The total amount funded from
the Orange Tax Revenues,will offset fares that would have been collected by GoTriangle, in addition to purchasing the
supplies needed for this program. The funding allocation will be monitored and evaluated as other providers make
decisions regarding fares.This allocation should be available to all Orange County transit providers who return to fares in
the future. This financial information included in this sheet is an estimate to be used for budget purposes. GoTriangle and
the Orange County Staff Working Group will work on developing administrative needs for the project and adjust financials
as needed.

The FY25 request includes phase II of the project,which consists of land acquisition, design, and construction of a new
regional transit center(RTC).
The Triangle Mobility Hub (aka regional Transit Center relocation)will provide travel time savings to riders of route 800
which serves Chapel Hill and UNC.The Triangle Mobility Hub and bus network improvements it enables will provide
faster, more frequent connections for longer periods of the day to Orange County residents wishing to travel to
destinations in/around RTP, including Hub RTP and Boxyard, as well as in Southern Durham County and Wake County.
Additionally,through improved travel times/reduced operational costs, the relocation will also enable GoTriangle to
realign the 800 and 805 in order to provide all day service,for the first time, on route 805 which also serves Chapel Hill
and UNC. This concept was identified in the Draft GoTriangle SRTP and viewed favorably by riders on the 800 and 805.
The completed feasibility study includes an evaluation of the current facility and identification of necessary passenger
amenities and infrastructure improvements, and a feasibility study to evaluate the potential new locations for the RTC,
taking into consideration current and future planned routes, land use, supply, and price.This study will be used to
inform the location and design of phase 11.The feasibility study was funded by county transit plans in Wake, Durham, and
Orange counties.

The GoTriangle Regional Transit Center(RTC) is the primary hub for GoTriangle regional bus services connecting Wake,
Durham, and Orange Counties.This study includes an evaluation of the current facility and identification of necessary
passenger amenities and infrastructure improvements,and a feasibility study to evaluate the potential new locations for
the RTC,taking into consideration current and future planned routes, land use,supply, and price.The current location of
the RTC on Slater Road in Durham creates overlapping routes leading to inefficiency and is not proximate to 1-40 which
causes delays and reduced reliability during peak commuting times.The feasibility study is evaluating location options
that improve operating efficiency and reliability, connections to planned BRT and CRT, as well as potential for transit-
oriented development.

The project sheet requests funding for phases of Design and construction required to operate services identified in the
Transit Plan. The fleet and facilities study evaluated constraints and needs for maintenance, storage, fueling and
servicing capacity as well as work-flow efficiency at the GoTriangle Nelson Road bus operations and maintenance facility.
The outcome of this study will include site selection, schematic design, and cost estimates for a new and/or expanded
facility.The study included 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 handling the fleet required to operate the services identified in the Bus Plan.
Please detail project justification
The GoTriangle Operations and Maintenance Facility at 5201 Nelson Rd. Morrisville, NC was originally constructed in
1998. In 2006,the facility was updated to add
space for administrative functions. GoTriangle is currently operating near capacity of the existing facility. GoTriangle'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 functionality.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.

The design and installation of a sidewalk along one side on South Greensboro Street(TIP#C-5650)from the north end of Old
Pittsboro Road to Public Works Drive, a distance of appropriately 0.9 miles. In addition to establishing a continuous pedestrian facility
along the major north-south axis to Carrboro,the improvement would provide pedestrian access to bus stops for 8 Chapel Hill Transit
routes and one GoTriangle Route within the 1/2 mile(the walking service area). The project connects the recently completed
improvements to Smith Level Road (U-2803)and the future Morgan Creek Greenway(EL-4828)to downtown Carrboro.
Please detail project justification
The South Greensboro Street sidewalk was identified as a capital project in the 2017 Orange County Transit Plan and
allocated $552,340 of transit tax revenues to be applied toward the local match for construction. (Of note, $40,000 was
subsequently allocated toward another project.) The S Greensboro St project was carried-over as part of the 2022
Orange County Transit Plan Update. In 2021,the Town learned that an existing 6-inch AC water line would need to be
replaced as part of the project, and the engineer's preliminary estimate has indicated an increase in construction costs.
The Town has subsequently submitted TIP amendments for additional federal funds,this includes a request for$700,000
of Regional Flexible funding and an allocation of$443,418 of local discretionary(federal STBG-DA)funds. Plans are at 65
percent complete; waterline plans at 60-percent complete. The Town is seeking$81,275 of additional transit revenues
to apply toward the local match.
