Frank Clifton said he wanted to bring it to the attention of the Board that there is a fairly <br /> substantial reserve being established. He said that all three parties must agree and he said <br /> that if there are excess undesignated revenues, the three parties can possibly take these and <br /> address additional bus service needs. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked for a clarification on bus hours. He noted that there is an <br /> amount of 34,000 bus hours and of this number, some of those hours are allocated to Triangle <br /> Transit services in the Chapel Hill area. He asked for differentiation of these numbers in terms <br /> of what is for existing services versus new services. <br /> David King said 100% of the money allocated in the plan will be used for new services. <br /> He said that 24% of the hours will be for bus service. He said the town of Chapel Hill has not <br /> given them a final answer, but wants to use some of the money for inflationary costs, existing <br /> services and re-instatement of services. He said TT is looking to hear from Orange County on <br /> its intention. <br /> He said Triangle Transit money will go to new services. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if Triangle Transits hours are included in the 34,000 <br /> hours, and David King said yes. <br /> Commissioner McKee said when hours being used for existing services are backed out <br /> there will be a smaller number of bus routes and fewer new routes with this new plan. He said <br /> there needs to be a focus on buses that can access the areas of greatest need. <br /> b.
