County Sustainability Coordinator has delivered telework training for more than 75 County staff across 5 sessions, and will be moving the training to an online format. The County Sustainability Program and Human Resources are also working with Orange Public Transportation(OPT) to follow through on another BOCC petition to identify a way to provide free or subsidized bus fares for County staff. OPT Staff has reached out to GoTriangle and has identified a way forward that may involve integrating their operations into the GoTriangle family of services. Funding has been secured to upgrade fare-reading equipment to match that of other GoTriangle transit providers. Once complete, this should allow County staff.access to the regional GoPass program to serve as their subsidized fare card and it will also increase the convenience of non-County employees to ride Orange Public Transportation buses and connect with other regional bus routes.
