The present plan expired in 1995. This year the N.C. <br /> Department of Transportation hired a consultant, Econometrics, <br /> Inc. , to prepare the Updated Plan with assistance from a local TDP <br /> Steering Committee. The membership on the TDP Steering Committee <br /> included a variety of organizations (Appendix A) including <br /> technical support from Ray Boylston, NCDOT Public Transportation <br /> Consultant and Slade McCalip, County Transportation Planner. <br /> Both members are available to respond to technical questions <br /> The TDP Update had the following goals: <br /> (1) Evaluate the current human service agency transportation <br /> delivery. <br /> (2) Evaluate management alternatives, including a County <br /> transportation department, a non-profit agency, Chapel Hill <br /> Transit or contracted management by a private for-profit <br /> firm. <br /> (3) Evaluate the feasibility of developing the system into a <br /> Section 18/9 supported general public system, including <br /> various options for providing general public service. <br />
