6 <br />obtaining more money for Orange County transportation needs. <br />Funding for Alternative Modes of Transportation <br />Compared to highways, the funding for alternative modes of transportation is quite <br />restricted. If the legislature could provide additional funding for alternative modes of <br />transportation, including bicycle and pedestrian projects, transit projects, and park and <br />ride lots, it would help Orange County in its quest to enhance these alternative modes. A <br />more robust funding stream for alternative modes could be a long term issue, but one we <br />would like to our legislators to pursue. <br />Potential Funding for Specific Projects <br />Although we have not requested funding for any specific projects, we would also <br />appreciate any guidance our legislators could give us concerning how to pursue such a <br />request and what sorts of projects might receive favorable attention. <br />We would be particularly interested in funding alternative modes of transportation. <br />We look forward to any advice our legislators could give us on these two issues.
