12. Board Comments <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said that two regional routes were approved at the last TTA <br /> board meeting as part of the half cent sales tax. She said service will start soon, and these <br /> routes are between Chapel Hill and Duke/downtown, and the other goes from Chapel Hill to <br /> Southpoint. She said the Hillsborough/Mebane/Duke Route has not been approved yet. She <br /> expects that when Chapel Hill Transit comes up with its local services out of the sales tax, the <br /> Board will get to know about it. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said the next DCHC MPO Transportation Advisory Committee <br /> meeting will be held on June 11, and work will be continued on project prioritization and <br /> assigning of points. She said the Durham/Chapel Hill Work Group will be meeting on that <br /> same day. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier clarified that the routes she mentioned above already exist, but <br /> Saturday night and Sunday service is being added. <br /> Commissioner Price said she attended assembly day for NCACC, and one of the major <br /> thrusts is the funding for schools. <br /> She referred to the earlier discussion about appointments and said she feels it is the <br /> responsibility of the Commissioners to keep these boards full and to look at diversity on the <br /> boards. <br /> Chair Jacobs noted the employee appreciation luncheon being held on Friday. <br /> He said Preservation Chapel Hill, The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough, and the <br /> Orange County Historic Preservation Commission, with the assistance of the Visitors Bureau, <br /> hosted a symposium for two days about local history. He said it was a success and was well <br /> attended. <br /> He congratulated the Board for getting through a tough agenda tonight. <br /> 13.
