'5$)7 Abigaile Pittman: On yesterday’sBurlington Graham MPO TCC the agenda there was a proposal to use Section 5307 monies to buy buses and startup capital for the proposed Burlington bus system. There was a motion appointing themselves as a designated recipient and you can’t do that because it can only be a direct recipient, per federal statute. They wanted the TCC and TAC to approve a resolution that they can be the designated recipient so they would be the lead decision maker regarding the distribution of funding. However, under the federal law, they can only be a direct recipient, meaning they can receive the funds from the designated person, which would be either NCDOT or PART. They also requested all ofthe federal allocation for this region for the next several years because they needit for theirbus system in Burlington. We acknowledged and accepted their first year needs and stressed thatthey could only be a direct recipient. They agreed. We compromised in their first year of capital and operations expenses and then everything after that, werequested that there bea collaborative decisionmaking process with all the other interested parties, meaning the other service providers. Paul Guthrie: There has been a big story about Triangle Transit’s rate increases. Is there advanced discussions about it with the people in this county? Abigaile Pittman: No to my knowledge. Paul Guthrie: It would not hurt to mention that when you start juggling Triangle Transit fares, you should contact all jurisdictions. AGENDA ITEM VI: BOARD COMMENTS OUTBoard Action:Receive comments.
