99 <br /> Chapter 6:Summary and Conclusions <br /> • Coordinate with other regional transit providers <br /> • Do the required reporting <br /> Currently there is no position in Orange County with a job description that addresses <br /> transit planning activities. There are several options for addressing the need for transit <br /> planning. One is to add transit planning functions to one of the Comprehensive Planning <br /> position descriptions and upgrade it to reflect the additional responsibilities. Another <br /> option is to create a new transit planning position, which could either remain in Planning <br /> and Inspections (if a separate transit department is created), or be included in a separate <br /> department. This would allow the two Comprehensive Planning staff members to fully <br /> address the non-transit transportation functions in their job description. <br /> There is also the option of moving all transportation planning functions and the transit <br /> operation into a separate transportation department that would address all modes. <br /> Consolidating with either Chapel Hill Transit or GoTriangle is a possibility at some point. <br /> However, at the moment increased coordination and joint activities (including <br /> marketing) are appropriate first steps. These and other options for organization are <br /> discussed in Chapter 5. There is no single correct model for transit organization. Orange <br /> County will need to consider the options and the needs of its expanding system before <br /> making any changes in the current structure. <br /> KFH <br /> NCDOT Orange County 83 <br /> Transit Assessment Study <br />
