The study is funded by a federal grant <br />which is not part of the OCBRIP plan. The OCBRIP <br />plan does include funding set aside for capital <br />improvements, if this project moves to construction <br />in the future. <br />During 2014, a Public Involvement Plan, Purpose and <br />Need Statement and Tier 1 Analysis were completed <br />No Build, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Low and BRT High <br />transit modes passed Tier 1 Analysis and moved into <br />the Detailed Definition of Alternatives phase. CHT <br />held three public meetings in March 2014 and will <br />continue to share the study with the public <br />and collect feedback. <br />Hillsborough Amtrak Station <br />Work on the station awaits a rail corridor capacity <br />analysis to be performed by the North Carolina <br />Railroad Company, Norfolk Southern and Triangle <br />Transit. Planning work will begin after the analysis is <br />complete. <br />Durham - Orange Light Rail Transit Project <br />In February, the Federal Transit Administration <br />approved Triangle Transit's request to enter Project <br />Development on the proposed 17 -mile Durham - <br />Orange Light Rail Transit Project. Environmental <br />work is underway with a Draft Environmental Impact <br />Statement to be published and available for public <br />comment in spring 2015. The proposed light rail <br />line will run from Chapel Hill to Durham and cost <br />an estimated $1.34 billion (in 2012 dollars). The <br />Orange portion of the voter - approved one -half cent <br />sales tax will help fund the local share <br />of the rail project. MINIM <br />
