D R A F T <br />Jeff Charles: If you are concerned about seniors they are the least likely to be able to pay that feeso I think it would 329 <br />be important to not charge.Could we go with a recommendation to bring it back to Bret and you reorganize it anddo 330 <br />what Amy is suggesting?331 <br />332 <br />Bret Martin: I would move it earlier and keep everything else in the same order and it would be presented to the 333 <br />BOCC as the OUTBoard’srecommendation.334 <br />335 <br />Ted Triebel: In the Attachments 3, 4 and 5, I don’t see any statement that we should be gathering dataon ridership 336 <br />so that there will be a re-examinationof routes that should be made and not just this is the way it is. Shouldn’t there337 <br />be something in there that after a certain period we should rearrange a route or two?That wouldbe a worthwhile 338 <br />comment to make.339 <br />340 <br />Bret Martin: That will be in the program and we have already developed service standards. 341 <br />342 <br />Ted Triebel: I only like thisif at the one year mark, we will take a look at it and make sure we have what we need.343 <br />344 <br />Bret Martin: There will be service standards in the programthat will address that. 345 <br />346 <br />Jeff Charles: Can I get a motion to approve Attachments 3, 4 and 5 with the changes of the senior service getting a 347 <br />higherpriorityand including a footnotecomment that Ted is suggesting?348 <br />349 <br />Motion made by Alex Castro to approve Attachments 3, 4 and 5 with changes that the senior services get higher 350 <br />priority and include a footnote thatthat new bus routes be reviewed annually according to program service standards.351 <br />Seconded by Don.352 <br />Vote:Unanimous353 <br />354 <br />Abigaile Pittman: In March and April the program will be presented to the BOCC with your recommendation and 355 <br />comments. In April and May they will approve some type of bus program for the first five years,and in May and June 356 <br />there is a group looking at making revisions to the OC BRIP because facts have changed with regard to funding and 357 <br />projecttiming. 358 <br />359 <br />Jeff Charles: We need one more motion with respect to the equitable use of funding.360 <br />361 <br />Alex Castro: Our concern is that prior transportation planning and allocation of funding has been adversely impacted 362 <br />by the newly implemented Federal Map 21 program and the State Strategic Mobility Funding Plan,and that the 363 <br />changes in WashingtonDCand Raleigh havechanged priorities and the allocation of funding.364 <br />365 <br />Bret Martin: Nothing changed in WashingtonDC. Triangle Transit changed the percentages because the 366 <br />assumptions they made originally were not correct. 367 <br />368 <br />Alex Castro:There needs to be a correction to the planning allocations of funding made by Triangle Transit which 369 <br />were not correct as to Federal funding, and then there needs to be an assessment of the impact of the new thrust 370 <br />from Raleigh underthe Strategic Mobility Formula plan which has changed the methodology for the prioritization and 371 <br />funding of projects.372 <br />373 <br />Jeff Charles:The OUTBoard is asking for additional information to assist them in understanding the procedure with 374 <br />respect to changes to the OCbRIP (potentially, as Alex discussed), and also how the increased revenue is going to 375 <br />be split. Tell the BOCC that If you want the OUTBoard to be able to continue to comment they need additional 376 <br />information. The OUTBoard has concerns about its understanding of the revenue stream in light of the changing 377 <br />landscape. 378 <br />379 <br />Ted Triebel: The OUTBoard does not have the appropriate data.380 <br />381 <br />Abigaile Pittman: Our BOCC also does not yet have clarity regarding the most current fundingprojections from 382 <br />Triangle Transit. 383 <br />9 <br />ReturntoAgenda
