Attachment 1 3 <br />grassroots level to identify improvements that can help make bicycling and walking to <br />and from school a safe and healthy transportation alternative. Orange County <br />received a SRTS Strategic Action Plan Service Award in July 2008 for planning <br />assistance to prepare an Action Plan for Grady A. Brown Elementary School, <br />Cameron Park Elementary School and C.W. Stanford Middle School. In 2009 <br />NCDOT contracted Greenways, Incorporated and Greene Transportation Solutions <br />to work with County staff, local agency representatives, School Team leaders and <br />principals of the three schools to identify non - motorized infrastructure improvements <br />that enhance safety for walking and bicycling. <br />The Plan development process included a visioning and goals session and map <br />working session with the project staff, steering committee, and consultants. This was <br />followed by comprehensive fieldwork and a public workshop that sought input from <br />residents, including parents, teachers, principals, children, Town of Hillsborough <br />staff, and Orange County staff. This input and analysis led to the development of a <br />draft plan that consisted of an analysis of existing conditions, and recommendations <br />in the program's framework of engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, <br />and evaluation (the essential `5 E's' of the program). <br />2. Analysis <br />Additional analysis will be part of the subsequent evaluation and approval of project <br />implementation actions. <br />3.
