ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 20, 2025
Action Agenda
Item No. 8-h
SUBJECT: FY25 Quarter 4 Annual Work Program Amendments for Transit and Approval of
Budget Amendment #9-B
DEPARTMENT: Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS)
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
1. FY25 Q4 AWP Amendments Nishith Trivedi, Transportation Director,
2. Year-To-Date Budget Summary 919-245-2007
PURPOSE: To approve a Fiscal Year 2025 Quarter 4 Annual Work Program (FY25 Q4 AWP)
amendments and approve Budget Amendment #9-B.
BACKGROUND: On April 16, 2025, the Orange County Staff Work Group recommended the FY
25 Q4 AWP be amended following a 21-day public review period. The amendments are detailed
in Attachment 1 and summarized below.
Orange County:
Decreases:
• Project 20OPTTSO4 — Hillsborough Circulator 2.0: Decrease of $42,880
• Project 20OPTTS06 — Orange County Mobility-on-Demand: Decrease of $42,880
• Total Decrease: $85,760
Increases:
• Project 240PTCD15 — Five (5) Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) Vehicles: Increase of$10,440
• Project 240PTCD12 — Trapeze (now TripSpark): Increase of $75,320
• Total Increase: $85,760
Total impact on FY25 AWP - $0 from Transit Tax fund balance
OCTS remains on track to complete the procurement of the five (5) MOD vehicles before the
end of the current fiscal year, ensuring the project's successful closure. Completion of the project
also removes it from the FY26 AWP.
GoTriangle
Transit Assistance Program
In Spring 2023, GoTriangle's board directed staff to resume fare collection in July 2024 and
introduce a new low-income fare program, later named the Transit Assistance Program (TAP).
Developed in collaboration with GoRaleigh and inspired by similar programs nationwide, TAP
2
aimed to reduce access barriers for low-income riders while minimizing administrative burdens.
Launched in July 2024 alongside the return to fares, TAP was well-received, with over 12,000
participants and accounting for roughly 40% of GoTriangle's ridership — consistent with 2023
data showing 51% of riders earned $35,000 or less. Due to strong adoption, GoTriangle is
requesting increased funding across the three counties, including a $24,000 reallocation in
Orange County from Youth GoPass and Fare Collection Technology, plus an additional
$14,000 to fully support TAP in the County through FY25.
Decrease:
• Project ID: 21 GOT0001 Youth GoPass — Decrease original FY25 budget by $9,000.
• Project ID: 21 GOT0002 Fare Collection Technology — Decrease original FY25 budget by
$15,000.
Increase:
• Project ID: 24GOTTP21 Low Income Fare Pass — Increase original FY25 budget by $38,000
Total impact on FY25 AWP - $14,000 from Transit Tax fund balance
Paratransit Services
The proposed change is a $22,681 budget increase for project 19GOTTS8, "Paratransit Services,"
which funds GoTriangle's paratransit operations on Sundays and partial Saturdays to align with
fixed-route service hours. The amendment reflects year-to-date and expected service demand,
driven by a significant rise in weekend ridership — more than double the levels seen in FY19 when
the Paratransit budget was last updated.
Increase
• Project ID: 25GOT0014 Low Income Fare Pass - Increase original FY25 budget by $22,681
Total impact on FY25 AWP - $22,681 from Transit Tax fund balance
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Orange County and GoTriangle will receive quarterly reimbursements as
approved. Orange County does not receive any funds where local jurisdictions are the project
sponsor (e.g. Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Mebane).
Budget Amendment #9-B reallocates $10,440 from the Mobility on Demand (MOD) Operating
project to the capital project to complete the one-time purchase of five (5) MOD vehicles. This
amendment reduces the General Fund by $10,440 and amends the Capital Project Ordinance for
the purchase of vehicles and provides for the reimbursement of this purchase from the Transit
Tax via Go Triangle within the County Capital Fund.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• GOAL 4: MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION
OBJECTIVE 1. Identify priorities and resources necessary to implement the Orange
County Transit Plan.
OBJECTIVE 2. Increase community awareness of all modes of transportation including
transit, bike and pedestrian, vehicle, and all other modes.
OBJECTIVE 3. Support road projects that address congestion and reduce commute time
using the County' s Complete Streets policy.
OBJECTIVE 4. Coordinate transit investments with municipal and county land use
planning to reduce vehicle miles travelled and to provide more equitable access to
shopping, employment, medical centers, college campuses, etc.
OBJECTIVE 5. Invest in implementing the County' s Safe Routes to Schools plan.
OBJECTIVE 6. Update transportation related plans to provide more multi-modal options
including rural Orange County.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the FY25 Q4 AWP
amendments (Attachment 1) and approve Budget Amendment #9-B.

Orange County remains dedicated to ensuring that all residents and businesses,particularly those in rural areas,continue to receive reliable and accessible public
transit services.These services are essential for maintaining the mobility of residents who may not have other transportation options.Discontinuing these services
would not only limit access to jobs,healthcare,and education,but it would also have a profound and detrimental impact on the economic stability and quality of life
for individuals and businesses in the incorporated areas of the county.This disruption would create significant barriers for rural communities,highlighting the
importance of maintainin consistent and equitable transitservicesacrosstheentirecount .

Project Description/Scope Enter below a summary of the project amendment and impact on approved plan.
In Spring of 2023,GoTriangle's board of trustees directed staff to return to fare collection in July 2024 and launch a new low-income fare program.The low-
income program was later branded the Transit Assistance Program,or TAP.
Based on research of other low-income programs across the county,GoTriangle and GoRaleigh collaborated on the development of the TAP program with
the goal of reducing barriers to access for low-income riders,and reducing staff resources needed for administration of the program.The Transit Assistance
Program was launched in July 2024 coinciding with GoTriangle's return to fares.
The TAP program was received enthusiastically by riders;over 12,000 individuals have benefited from the program on GoTriangle or GoRaleigh since July
2024.The TAP benefit accounts for about 40%of GoTriangle's ridership.This level of adoption is in line with 2023 rider survey data which found that 51%of
GoTriangle riders reported their income at or below$35,000.
Due to the robust adoption of the TAP program,GoTriangle is seeking increased funding for the program in all three counties based on TAP ridership across
each county.To accommodate this need for support,GoTriangle is proposing to transfer$9,000 from Youth GoPass and$15,000 from Fare Collection
Technology($24,000 Total)to the TAP program in FY 25 in Orange.
Beyond these transfers GoTriangle anticipates requiring an additional$14,000to cover the TAP program in Orange County forthe remainder of FY25.This
estimate is based on actual program use data from Q1 and Q2.
