Orange County is a large multi-site employer <br /> whose primary administrative offices are located in Hillsborough. Orange County can not only <br /> impact the travel patterns of employees in the Hillsborough hotspot, but at more than 30 staffed <br /> facilities across the County. Being a large organization, Orange County also has the staff and <br /> resources to support and benefit from a TDM Coordinator's full-time effort, without asking them <br /> to take on tasks that are outside of their workplan. Furthermore, Orange County provides transit <br /> services through Orange Public Transportation which provides more than 50,000 rides per year <br /> and is expanding their fixed-route services in FY18. As previously mentioned, Orange County <br /> also has a long-standing and transparent interest in maintaining and improving air quality and <br /> Triangle J <br /> Council of Governments 5 <br />
