The <br />local match (20%) for the capital expenses is estimated to be $4,055. The match funds have <br />not been appropriated. If the BOCC concurs with the grant update and route design, County <br />staff would need to bring forward a budget amendment transferring a total of $4,055 from the <br />general fund. <br />SHARED INTERESTS <br />Hillsborough and Orange County have shared interests in reducing and managing traffic <br />congestion in downtown Hillsborough and air emissions in the County. The Town is interested <br />in ensuring the downtown area remains vibrant and economically viable for the variety of small <br />businesses that locate there. The County is interested, as a resident of downtown, where it <br />houses necessary government services and ensures its customers have a variety of safe and <br />affordable transportation options for accessing those services. The addition of an in-town route, <br />in conjunction with the existing 420 route, is also expected to help relieve peak parking and <br />vehicular travel demands that come with expanded court facilities. Orange County and <br />Hillsborough have the unique ability and opportunity to benefit its citizenry, local and at-large, by <br />combining their transportation and planning staff expertise with an approved financial <br />partnership to implement an in-town route. <br />
