<br />The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides post-secondary educational opportun-
<br />ities to the residents of the County. Durham Technical Community College, Piedmont Technical In-
<br />stitute and Alamance Community College are post-secondary institutions located within a 20-mile
<br />radius of the County and are members of the State system of community colleges and technical insti-
<br />tutes. Durham Technical Community College opened an Orange County Campus in 2008. The Coun-
<br />ty is contributing $545,000 toward operating expenses in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.
<br />TRANSPORTATION
<br />Major expansion and maintenance of primary and secondary highways within the County are
<br />primarily the responsibility of the State. Municipalities within the County bear the responsibility for
<br />local street systems. The County has no responsibility for the construction or maintenance of streets
<br />or highways.
<br />The County is served by two interstate highways, which merge in the center of the County. In-
<br />terstate Highway 85 connects the County to the cities of Greensboro, Charlotte and Atlanta to the
<br />south and west and the cities of Durham, Richmond and Washington, D.C. to the north and east.
