Whitted, <br /> Orange County Do,4rd of Commissioners <br /> 106-E. Margaret iane <br /> Hillsborough, Notth Carolina 27278 <br /> !subject: Durham Transportation Study <br /> As a result of tlie 1980 Census, the Durham urbanized area was extended to include <br /> the Towns of Chaim]. Hill and Carrboro and portions of orange County. For urbanized <br /> areas of over 50j000 population, Federal Law requires that a cooperative, compre- <br /> hensive, and con <br /> planning requirements, it is necessary that the transportation planning study area <br /> and planning organization in the Durham urbanized area be extended to include <br /> Chapel Hill, Cariboro, and portions of orange County. <br /> The planning orgnization and transportation planning responpibility in the Durham <br /> urbanized area currently is specified in a 1975 Memorandum of Understanding (KOU) <br /> approved by the City of Durham, Durham County, and the North Carolina Department <br /> of Transportatiol. The mou established a Transportation Advisory committee (TAC) <br /> to act in an adv,sory capacity as related to the direction, control, and super- <br /> vision of the po;icy, planning, and technical activities which comprise the <br /> cooperative, comOrehensive, and continuing transportation planning process. The <br /> TAC is composed Of representatives from the Durham City council, Durham county <br /> Board of Commissioners, and North Carolina Board of Transportation. <br /> In order to update the HOU to include Chapel. Hill, carrboro, and orange County, <br /> I would appreciae your appointing a representative from your County commissioners <br /> to work with theITAC on a revised MOD for the larger urbanized area that can then <br /> be recommended to the participating agencies for their approval. Your assistance <br /> in this regard will be sincerely appreciated. <br /> A. Carroll Pledger, Chai7A <br /> Durham Transportation Adiiisory Cammittee <br /> ucp:js <br /> cc: mx Kenneth R.
