with annual budget proposals. In recent years, price changes in such areas as fuel, insurance, etc. have <br /> been unpredictable, as have changes in state and federal funding. Such changes are not included in this <br /> budget projection, but the projections can be used to see the impact of funding or cost changes as they <br /> arise. Adjustments to the budget may need to be made over the four-year period. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> This plan recommends opening up several existing service routes to the general public in Orange <br /> County. This plan also provides a capital plan and recommendations for other implementation activities <br /> over the next four years. The Steering Committee should undertake an annual review of this plan's <br /> recommendations to see if amendments are needed. Changes in service (such as the provision of <br /> employment-related trips), operations,vehicle utilization,agency programs, and other factors can all result <br /> in the need to change the plan. If changes are needed, these changes should be formally adopted by the <br /> Steering Committee and transmitted to NCDOT in a timely fashion. It is very important that the annual <br /> plan review be undertaken, because NCDOT uses the degree of plan implementation as a major criterion <br /> in the evaluation of capital grant applications and for determining ongoing funding eligibility. <br /> -61- <br />
