It emphasizes a shift from completing earlier projects to initiating new services aligned with the Orange County Transit Plan.The Chapel Hill Transit North-South Bus Rapid Transit(N-S BRT) project is positioned as a key priority, with funds allocated for its continued development. Additionally, investments in capital projects such as replacement bus purchases and vehicle acquisition/replacement reflect a commitment to maintaining and modernizing transit infrastructure. The program's financial health, attributed to robust sales tax revenue growth, ensures expenditures align with revenues, showcasing a balanced approach to transit development. This proposed work plan designates funding to five (5) agencies in FY26: Orange County/OPT, Chapel Hill/CHT. Hillsborough, Go Triangle, and the DCHC MPO.

This updated agreement builds on the original 2013 ILA, adopted after the approval of the 2012 transit sales tax referendum. Key updates in the 2023 ILA include expanding the Staff Working Group (SWG) to include representatives from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and Mebane, ensuring broader representation and interagency coordination. The SWG, as the administrative and advisory body, is tasked with developing a recommended Annual Work Program, which now incorporates: • Annual Operating Budget Ordinance • Annual Tax District Administration Budget • Multi-Year Capital Improvement Plan • Annual Capital Budget Ordinance • Annual Operating Program • Adjustments to the Current Durham Transit Financial Plan and Financial Model Assumptions • Multi-Year Capital and Operating Global Agreements Orange County, designated as the SWG Administrator, oversees the SWG's functions, ensuring effective project reporting and accountability. The Annual Work Program, a critical output of the ILA, must be adopted by both the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Go Triangle Board of Trustees, reflecting the shared commitment to coordinated transit investment and operational transparency. January 1 -• AWP forpublic comment February 2025 - Draft AWP is presented to BOCCS March 1 -• and recommends FY26 AWP April 2025Orange Countyapproved FY26 AWP 5 FY26 Annual Work Program The 2023 Interlocal Agreement (ILA) introduced new requirements to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in transit project management. A key addition is the requirement for project sponsors to enter into Multi-Year Capital and Operating Global Agreements, ensuring a structured and detailed approach to project planning and execution. Comprehensive Participation Agreement (CPA) Following the ILA's adoption, a Comprehensive Participation Agreement (CPA) was developed and approved by Orange County, Go Triangle, DCHC MPO, and the voting members of the Orange County Staff Work Group. The CPA outlines the content of the Global Agreements and sets a firm deadline of June 30, 2025, for agreement approval to maintain project eligibility for reimbursement. Required Components of Global Agreements: Each Global Agreement must include: • Project Sponsor • Project Scope • Purpose and Goals • Boundaries • Schedule • Estimated Budget • Reporting and Performance Standards or Metrics To streamline the approval process and enhance transparency, individual project sheets within the Work Program are designed to serve as exhibits for the Global Agreements. This template-based approach simplifies the approval process while ensuring clear accountability to governing boards and the public. Reporting and Updates In alignment with the 2023 ILA, project sponsors are required to submit bi-annual project updates detailing progress on implementation and performance metrics outlined in the project sheets. These updates will be integrated into Q2 and Q4 reports, providing stakeholders with regular, accessible insights into project expenditures and implementation progress. Framework for Improved Transparency While the new processes and reporting structures are still being refined, the Work Program establishes a robust framework to ensure consistent, transparent, and accessible reporting. This approach empowers governing bodies, project sponsors, and the public to monitor and evaluate the efficient use of transit resources, fostering trust and accountability. 6 FY26 Annual Work Program FY 2026 ORANGE TRANSIT WORK PROGRAM FY 2026 Revenues The FY26 Work Program anticipates $13,610,103 million in local revenues sourced from the following funding mechanisms authorized by North Carolina law: 1.

The FY26 request includes phase II of the project,which consists of land aquisition, 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 is being used to inform the location and design of phase II.The feasiblity study was funded by county transit plans in Wake, Durham, and Oragne counties. 46 REQUEST# FY 2026 FY START DATE Orange Transit Work Plan 23GOTCD2 Request Form Total Project Cost Operating and/or Capital $ 600,000 Orange Transit Estimated Project Name Requesting Agency Project Contact Operating Cost Regional Fleet and Jay Heikes Base Year $ - Facilties Study GoTriangle FY 2027 $ - Implementation - Nelson Road gotriangle.or Cumulative $ - Estimated Orange Transit Estimated Capital Estimated Start Date Completion Notes Cost FY20 FY29 Base Year $ 600,000 Cumulative $ 6,450,000 Project Enter below a summary of the project that may later be used as the project description Description/Scope in the FY 2026 Work Plan.
