Table of Contents for Orange County Unified Development <br />Ordinance. <br />9. The Language of Transportation <br />The transportation world is positively brimming with complex terms <br />and acronyms and can become very confusing. To assist with <br />transportation translations, Planning staff is providing you with a list <br />of definitions and a list of acronyms. (Refer to Transportation <br />Acronyms and Transportation Terms.) <br />Additionally, as an alternate general example, Staff has reviewed orientation <br />materials for the Durham - Chapel Hill- Carrboro Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (DCHC MPO) Board.
