BACKGROUND: Every year the N.C. Board of Transportation (BOT) adopts a multi-year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that specifies needed transportation improvements across the state. In addition to the STIP, the Durham-Chapel Hill- Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) also develops a multi-year Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) that specifies needed transportation improvements in the urban area. Each year the Orange County Transportation Priorities List is sent to both the BOT and the DCHC MPO to identify projects that are both endorsed and requested by Orange County. The BOT and the DCHC MPO then develop their respective Transportation Improvement Programs using this information. At the September 2, 1997 meeting Dr. Gordon requested that the local priorities lists from the municipalities in Orange County be provided for the Board's consideration of this year's Orange County Transportation Priorities List. The status of the other local jurisdiction's transportation priorities lists are as follows: Chapel Hill - Planning Board has developed a draft list which was reviewed at a public forum on September 22, Council will consider the list for adoption on October 13; Carrboro - Transportation Advisory Board will consider the attached draft list for recommendation to Council on September 4, Council will consider the list for adoption on September 29; Hillsborough - Planning Board will develop a draft list on October 7, Town Commissioners will consider the list for adoption on October 13;
