Alternative Modes of Transportation Includina Transit <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners is pleased that the p{an includes <br />alternative transportation modes including intensive transit improvements to provide <br />an integrated transit system throughout the urban area; and <br />V. Non Traditional Revenue Sources <br />A. Although highway projects have, historically, been given higher funding priority <br />than transit projects, the Orange County Board of Commissioners believes that <br />should not be the case in the future. The Board therefore recommends that the <br />sentence in the first paragraph of Section 1.3 - Non Traditional Revenue <br />Sources, indicating that the plan's funding shortfall occurs in the bus transit and <br />fixed guideway projects be deleted. <br />B. Although the Board acknowledges the need for additional revenue sources, the <br />Board recommends that the recommended non-traditional revenue sources be <br />further analyzed and discussed by local government before they are adopted. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner , seconded by Commissioner <br />, the foregoing resolution was adopted this the day of , 2002. <br />I, Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North <br />Carolina, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of so much of the <br />proceedings of said Board at a meeting held on October 30, 2002 as relates in any way to the <br />C:iTr;~nspirrt~tiof'~12i725 13CNC ~'Van1DGHC2D2~Plan ~es'l2~02-f~2.d€~c <br />
