5b <br />There are little efforts between Orange and Chatham county transportation systems. <br />However, Chapel Hill Transit has a park and ride lot near Cole Park Plaza (Hwy 15 -501) <br />near Chatham county line for employees of UNC systems. This park and ride is currently <br />operated by Carolina Livery but will be operated by Chapel Hill Transit July 2007. <br />The Triangle Regional Development Plan process has reviewed the possibility of <br />including Chatham Transit Network into the three county regional study (Wake, Durham, <br />Orange). This study provides these counties with coordinating and/or consolidating <br />options within the transit systems. <br />A process was just completed that provided a financial plan for the Metropolitan <br />Planning Organization (MPO). This included all partial and whole counties involved in <br />the MPO (Durham, portion of Chatham, large portion of Orange). A meeting is schedule <br />to provide a financial plan to expense the transit MPO funds to these three area. <br />Chatham Transit Network is a member of the Rural Regional Network (Wake, Orange, <br />Durham, Lee, Moore counties). These transit representatives meet quarterly to discuss <br />coordination efforts between the counties. <br />Chatham Transit Network is a member of the North Carolina Public Transportation <br />Association (NCPTA) as is Orange Public Transportation. This association provides <br />avenues and forums to discuss coordination of transit systems. <br />
