Item 5.a.
Subject: OUTBoard Orientation Material Update
Attachment: OUTBoard Orientation - Draft Material
PURPOSE: To provide comments on the Orange Unified Transportation Board Orientation draft
material.
BACKGROUND: In April 2019, the Orange County Planning and Inspections Department
undertook a comprehensive update of the Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard)
orientation materials. This initiative was aimed at ensuring that both new and existing board
members were equipped with up-to-date information regarding transportation planning
principles, practices, and governance within North Carolina. As part of this effort, department
staff delivered a detailed presentation highlighting the structure, responsibilities, and evolving
landscape of the North Carolina transportation profession. This included insights into how
transportation policy is shaped at the local, regional, and state levels, and the integral role of
OUTBoard in shaping Orange County's transportation future.
Since that time,the orientation materials have undergone further review and are currently being
updated to reflect the following significant developments:
1. Changes in State and Federal Transportation Practices
Transportation planning and funding mechanisms have evolved due to updates in both state-
level guidelines and federal regulations, such as revisions to the FAST Act and the adoption of the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
• Federal emphasis on environmental sustainability and resilience in transportation planning.
• Adjustments in funding eligibility, grant opportunities, and performance-based planning.
2. Advancements in the County's Multimodal Network
Orange County has made notable strides in developing a more inclusive and integrated
multimodal transportation network. The updated materials will capture these advancements,
including:
• Incorporating Youth in the planning and project development process
• Expansion and improvement of County's Climate Action Plan and Strategic Plan.
• Implementation of County Vision Zero and Complete Streets policy in roadway projects.
• Integration of strategies and support for active transportation modes.
3. Transit Governance and Service Enhancements
With growing emphasis on rural transit service, regional coordination and service delivery
improvements, the orientation content now reflects recent changes in:
• Governance structures guiding transit decisions in coordination with agencies like GoTriangle
and local transit providers.

• County lead development of plans like Orange County Transit Plan, Title VI, ADA Paratransit
Plan and others.
• Expansion of fixed-route, on-demand, and paratransit services, improving access and equity
for transit-dependent populations.
The update of the OUTBoard orientation materials is intended to provide members with a
comprehensive, up-to-date understanding of the current transportation environment, equipping
the board to effectively advise on policy, planning, and investment decisions. With a dynamic
multimodal landscape, evolving regulations, and growing community needs, members' role
remains essential in guiding Orange County toward a more connected,equitable,and sustainable
transportation future.
Orange County Transportation Services staff respectfully invites OUTBoard members to review
and provide feedback on the materials being prepared for the upcoming Orientation, which is
anticipated to take place later this Fall.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact currently.

Non-STIP List
PURPOSE: To provide comments on the Non-State Transportation Improvement Program Draft
Project Management Plan (PMP).
BACKGROUND:As part of the Orange Unified Transportation Board's (OUTBoard)Annual Report
and Work Plan, members requested that County transportation staff provide quarterly updates
on the list of non-State Transportation Improvement Program (non-STIP) projects.These updates
are to be coordinated with the quarterly luncheon meetings held with the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT).
At the most recent NCDOT quarterly luncheon meeting, County staff presented an updated list
of potential non-STIP projects. These projects are drawn from the County's adopted
Transportation Multimodal Plan (TMP) and are primarily focused on enhancing safety—
particularly for the County's most vulnerable road users.
To further strengthen this coordination and improve project delivery, staff has developed a draft
Project Management Plan. This plan is intended to support the regular tracking, oversight, and
implementation of rural Orange County transportation initiatives in a manner that is as efficient
and administratively streamlined as possible.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact currently.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN:This item supports:
• GOAL 4: MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION
• 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.

Item 5.c.
Subject: State of County Transit Report
Attachment: Orange County Transit Service Area
PURPOSE: To provide comments on preparing a State of County Transit Report.
BACKGROUND: Since July 2022, Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) has successfully
implemented a range of improvements in transit operations and capital projects to meet the
growing demand for its services. Key accomplishments include:
• Expanding Service and Access — Increased service area 10 miles outside County boundary
(Attachment 1), extended operating hours and gradually increasing ridership.
• Cost Efficiency— Maintained the lowest cost per service hour in the entire Triangle region.
• Workforce Growth— Recruited over 12 operators and expanded dispatch operations.
• Comprehensive Transit Coverage— Ensured transit access for the County's entire population
of 150,626 residents including Chapel Hill 's (62,043) and Carrboro's (21,103).
• Strategic Partnerships— Established multiple Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with
key government agencies (CJRD, DOA, Durham Tech), increasing the customer base.
• Funding Authorization — Secured legal approval from GoTriangle to utilize transit tax funds
for the future Mebane Circulator and complete improvements to Hillsborough Circulator.
• Service Expansion —Advanced Demand Response and Mobility-on-Demand services for both
rural and urban areas, including Mebane, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough.
The Department Is Implementing Adopted Plans and Addressing Challenges
OCTS continues to implement all its locally adopted plans including the 2024 Short-Range Transit
Plan and Safe Routes to School Plan while advancing projects identified in the Transportation
Multimodal Plan. Despite operating with limited resources and receiving the lowest portion of
transit tax investment in the County, OCTS remains committed to improving mobility for all
residents.
As part of a new State of County Transit report, OCTS will outline its progress over the past two
years since its 2022 Transit Plan was approved, its strategic direction, and the challenges ahead.
This includes identifying opportunities for innovation and the solutions being pursued.
Opportunities for Innovation
• Regional Multimodal Connectivity (RMMC) — Using the Transit Tax in pursuit of state and
federal funding to develop a Regional Multimodal Hub in Hillsborough, providing centralized
access to rail, micromobility, greenways, mixed-use development, and regional transit
connections from the Piedmont to Research Triangle Park and beyond.
• Strategic Municipal Collaboration—Supporting local municipalities in advancing major transit
projects, including:
o Hillsborough and Carrboro's—Greenways (Ridgwalk and Morgan Creek)
600 Hwy 86 N - Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278
Phone (919)245-2008 - Fax (919) 732-2137
orangecountync.gov/transportation
o Mebane— New Orange County Circulator
o Expanding the County's market share in transit services by addressing service gaps
resulting from changes by other providers (e.g., GoTriangle's ODX, CRX, Routes 400 and
420, as well as Chapel Hill Transit and UNC).
o County as Regional Transit Vision — Transforming Orange County transit into a regional
provider rather than a combination of a rural and urban system. The County currently
serves all municipal residents through Mobility-on-Demand, Demand Response, and
fixed-route services, including the surrounding Counties, reinforcing its commitment to
regional connectivity.
These efforts are key to fostering municipal support for County-wide transit expansion.
Challenges to Address
• Shifting local transit priorities — Many evolving transit needs are not yet reflected in the
existing transit plan, requiring updates to align with new demands.
• Rising Costs for Infrastructure— Longstanding bicycle and pedestrian projects, such as Transit
Access projects, face significant cost increases as they work to improve transit accessibility.
• Change in local funding requests — Recent amendments to the Annual Work Program
reallocate transit tax funding for local office planning staff rather than provide the transit
services outlined in the approved plan. Additionally, a grant request for the RMMC outside
the existing transit plan has been pursued through the States Prioritization of Transportation
(SPOT) process.
• Local transit service adjustments — Service consolidations, including ODX, CRX, 400 and 420
route changes, reinstated fare collection, and advancements in the Transportation
Alternative Program (TAP), impact local transit dynamics.
Next Steps: Updating the Orange County Long-Range Transit Plan
• To adapt to evolving needs, OCTS is seeking County authorization to update the 2022 Long-
Range Transit Plan, leveraging its on-call consultant, WSP. This update will ensure that:
o Recent transit advancements and change in local priorities have been incorporated
o Growing demand and coverage for rural Orange County is addressed
o Rural transit expansion and major municipal investments remain a key focus
To obtain the authorization from the Board of County Commissioners, staff is preparing a State
of County Transit to focus on all County residents transit needs, not just the urbanized areas.
With these efforts, OCTS aims to build a sustainable, efficient, and regionally integrated transit
system that meets the diverse needs of Orange County residents.

Item 6.a.
Subject: County Land Use Plan Update
PURPOSE: To receive an update on the Orange County Land Use Plan 2050 planning process.
BACKGROUND:
At its March 11, 2025 work session,the BOCC received a presentation from Clarion Associates on
a preliminary Public Review Draft of the LUP 2050 for BOCC review and feedback. Board review
and feedback on the draft was requested to inform any necessary changes to the draft prior to
the opening of the next Community Engagement Window. Subsequently, the Board requested
additional background information from County staff for the purpose of further informing its
review.
Community Engagement Window#3, which was scheduled for May—July of this year, has been
postponed to allow additional time for the BOCC's review and Clarion Associates professional
services paused.
At its April 8, 2025 work session, the BOCC received a presentation from Planning staff that
included an overview of information available on the LUP 2050 project website and tentative
calendar options for staff to present the additional information requested by the Board. Based
on input received, the BOCC will be receiving materials and presentations from Planning staff
through mid-November of this year, possibly beyond.
As more is known about the schedule and next steps, the contract with Clarion Associates will
likely be amended and information will be shared with the OUTBoard.
Orange County Planning and Inspection Director Cy Stober and Senior Planner — Long Range
Planning Tom Altieri will provide an update on the County Land Use Plan 2050 planning process.

Item 6.c.
Subject: FY26 Annual Work Program
Attachment: FY26 Annual Work Program
PURPOSE: To receive the fiscal year 2026 Annual Work Program.
BACKGROUND: In 2011, voters in Orange County approved a half-cent sales tax dedicated to
enhancing public transit services.The revenue generated from this tax is legally restricted for use
solely on initiatives outlined in the Orange County Transit Plan. Implementation of the Orange
County Transit Plan occurs through an Annual Work Program (AWP), which outlines specific
projects and associated funding allocations for each fiscal year.Any project funded through these
proceeds must receive formal approval from both the Orange County Board of Commissioners
(BOCC) and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees.
The development of the Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Work Program (FY26 AWP) followed the
established process and schedule as recommended by the Staff Work Group (SWG) in June 2022
with the same being approved in subsequent years. For FY26, Orange County does not anticipate
initiating or funding any new transit projects. However, it will maintain and support existing
services, including the continued operation and expansion of the Mobility-on-Demand service,
which remains a key component of the county's strategy to improve accessibility and
transportation equity.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:There is no financial Impact associated with this item.

FY26 Annual Work Program
SUMMARY
This description of the FY26 Work Program highlights its focus on maintaining fiscal responsibility while advancing
transit investments. 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. Programmed expenditures by agency:

FY26 Annual Work Program
BACKGROUND
The 2023 Interlocal Agreement (ILA) strengthens the framework for transit planning and administration
in Orange County, enhancing collaboration among Go Triangle, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), and the Orange County Board of Commissioners.
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.

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.

GoTriangle is requesting funding allocation from Orange County to provide zero fare passes for low income qualifying
individuals. In July 2024, GoTriangle resumed collected fares and launched the TAP (Transit Assistance Program)for low
wealth riders.To be eligible for the TAP GoPass, riders must either 1.) receive Medicaid benefits; 2.) recieve SNAP/EBT
benefits; or 3.) have a household income of$35,000 or less. GoTriangle is currently developing an evaluation for the TAP
GoPass.This evaluation 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 TAP GoPass.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.
The FY25 Budget for the low income GoPass was set as a pilot before GoTriangle returned to fares, with the intention of
adjusting the FY26 budget based on observed use.
The Orange County FY26 Budget Estimate for the TAP GoPass for Fixed Route ($76,000) and Paratransit ($6,500) is based
on obserived ridership in Q1 FY25 with a 15% increase anticipating future growth. Reimbursements for TAP GoPass rides
are split between the three counties based on actual usage in each county. In Q2 & Q3 FY25, GoTriangle will continue to
observe actual usage of the TAP GoPass and adjust FY26 budget estimates as needed.

Description/Scope the FY 2026 Work Plan.
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.
