Chapel Hill Transit now <br /> operates the vehicles during peak hours and Orange Public Transportation provides non- <br /> peak service. Triangle Transit supports Orange Public Transportation financially with 50% <br /> of the operating cost. This service change has reduced revenues by approximately <br /> $31 ,488. <br /> The Motor Pool request was reduced because of the aforementioned route change and <br /> change I <br /> in maintenance operations ($36,688). Public Works will bill all OPT vehicles for the <br /> direct cost of fuel and maintenance/repair rather than at a flat per-mile rate. Direct billing will <br /> track all maintenance costs and allow Orange Public Transportation to apply for preventative <br /> maintenance costs through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (approximately <br /> $15,070). <br /> Changes in Service Delivery {$2'x,909 Reduction): <br /> Discontinue the Wheels for Work program, which accepts donated vehicles for <br /> placement with low income and Work First clients for employment. However, OPT will <br /> transfer federal/state grant funds to DSS to assist Work First clients with vehicle repairs, <br /> insurance payments, and fuel vouchers in FY 2009-10. <br /> 28-1 <br />
