bus and rail transfer stations, etc. The Transit Plan is part of a process required by State law <br />and must be approved by the Orange County Board of Commissioners, Metropolitan Planning <br />Organizations (2), and the Triangle Transit Board of Trustees. Orange County intends to have <br />a financial plan and "Interlocal Agreements" or Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with <br />Durham, local governments, and Triangle Transit prior to the implementation of a tax if a <br />potential public referendum is approved by voters. <br />Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the Boards can discuss issues <br />related to this item as necessary. <br />Attachment 1 -a -1— Locally Preferred Alternative Summary <br />Attachment 1 -a -2 — Light Rail Transit Map <br />b) Hillsborough Circulator Route Update <br />The in -town Hillsborough Circulator route began June 6, 2011 with a three year grant from the <br />North Carolina Department of Transportation's ( NCDOT) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality <br />Program. For the first year, NCDOT has waived the local match requirement of 20 percent. <br />The Town of Hillsborough will provide the local match of about $22,000 for the remaining years, <br />while the County will operate the service at no additional cost to the Town. <br />The route serves various residential areas around Hillsborough, as well as the Library; Orange <br />County Courthouse; Social Services Center at Hillsborough Commons Shopping Center; The <br />Shops at Daniel Boone; UNC Family Practice; Durham Technical Community College satellite <br />campus; Hampton Pointe and Meadowlands Business Park. <br />The Hillsborough Circulator route was redesigned in October 2011 based on input from users. <br />An additional stop was added at South Nash and Calvin Streets. <br />A route map is attached and operational statistics will be provided at the meeting. <br />Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the Boards can discuss issues <br />related to this item as necessary. <br />Attachment 1 -b — Hillsborough Circulator Route Map <br />c) Traffic Studies of Hillsborough <br />The Town has completed an access study in downtown Hillsborough as a follow -up to <br />abandoning the Elizabeth Brady Road project. The study was jointly funded by the Town and <br />the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to find small projects to address congestion and <br />vitality downtown. The attachments list the guiding principles of the study, detail the three <br />smaller areas within the study area, and outline recommended improvements throughout the <br />study area. The Town Board is scheduled to discuss the plan in detail, including any possible <br />implementation, at its February 27th workshop (which follows the budget retreat). The Town <br />welcomes any feedback from Orange County as an important property owner in the study area <br />since no feedback was provided during the public outreach portion of the planning process. <br />The implementation plan is still being prepared, but the Town expects projects to be grouped to <br />make incremental improvements that are related and build on one another. At this point, the <br />Town does not expect any group of projects to require Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) <br />
