The <br />County, in that resolution, committed funding, subject to any additional information and review, for <br />the required local match for each year's allocation, and for future operations of the intra- <br />Hillsborough transit route. The County submitted the grant application to the Durham-Chapel Hill- <br />Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Triangle Area Rural Planning <br />Organization (TARPO). <br />Transportation Advisory Committees of both the DCHC MPO and the TARPO endorsed Orange <br />County's CMAQ application and recommended it to be included in the CMAQ program. The <br />NCDOT programmed the proposed projects in a revision to the 2006-2012 Transportation <br />Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP schedule delayed project implementation one year from that <br />proposed by the DCHC MPO and TARPO (park & ride lot delayed from FFY 2007 to FFY 2008, and <br />operations assistance delayed from FFY 2008-2010 to FFY 2009-2011). The CMAQ Agreement for <br />TIP Project C-4932 parts A and B, as included in the current 2007-2013 TIP, incorporates the <br />following funding schedule. <br />Part A (Funded through DCHC CMAQ funds) <br />Construction A FFY `08 $ 22,242 - (CMAQ) <br />Operations A .FFY `09 $ 41,104 - (CMAQ) <br />Part B (Funded through TARPO CMAQ funds) <br />Construction B FFY `08 $ 89,018 - (CMAQ) <br />Operations B FFY `09 $ 57,896 - (CMAQ) <br />$ 5,561 - (Local Match) <br />$ 41,104 - (Local-Match) <br />$ 22,255 -.(Local Match) <br />$ 57,896 - (Local Match) <br />
