2 <br /> Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization Actions — At its December 14 <br /> meeting, the MPO Board will consider two separate amendments related to the extension of the <br /> D-O LRT Project to NCCU: 1) The extension needs to be included in its Locally Preferred <br /> Alternative (LPA) and 2) The extension needs to be included in its 2040 Metropolitan <br /> Transportation Plan (MTP). <br /> OCBRIP Amendments — Discussions are currently ongoing with a Staff Working Group to <br /> review and update the OCBRIP financial assumptions and associated services. GoTriangle is <br /> also working with a Funding and Community Collaborative to help identify revenue sources to <br /> close the funding gaps. The OCBRIP amendments will need to be approved by the three <br /> parties (Orange County, DCHC MPO, and GoTriangle) to the Interlocal Implementation <br /> Agreement. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no cost associated with considering the "non-binding" proposed <br /> memorandum of understanding with GoTriangle agreeing to cooperate with the municipalities <br /> within the County and to work together to identify potential additional funding mechanisms to <br /> directly support the D-O LRT Project. Decisions that result from that possible cooperation and <br /> working together may have financial impacts on the County. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this agenda item: <br /> • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND <br /> INEQUITY <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; <br /> religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or <br /> ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic <br /> status. <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br /> The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary <br /> for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their <br /> dependents. <br /> Public Transportation provides opportunity for access to jobs and services to many individuals. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board consider approving the <br /> attached proposed "non-binding" memorandum of understanding and, if approved, authorize the <br /> Chair to sign the document. <br />
