D R A F T 221 Abigaile Pittman: On yesterday’sBurlington Graham MPO TCC the agenda there was a proposal to use Section 222 5307 monies to buy buses and startup capital for the proposed Burlington bus system. There was a motion223 appointing themselves as a designated recipient and you can’t do that because it can only be a direct recipient, per 224 federal statute. They wanted the TCC and TAC to approve a resolution that they can be the designated recipient so 225 they would be the lead decision maker regarding the distribution of funding. However, under the federal law, they 226 can only be a direct recipient, meaning they can receive the funds from the designated person, which would be either 227 NCDOT or PART. They also requested all ofthe federal allocation for this region for the next several years because 228 they needit for theirbus system in Burlington. We acknowledged and accepted their first year needs and stressed 229 thatthey could only be a direct recipient. They agreed. We compromised in their first year of capital and operations 230 expenses and then everything after that, werequested that there bea collaborative decisionmaking process with all 231 the other interested parties, meaning the other service providers.232 233 Paul Guthrie: There has been a big story about Triangle Transit’s rate increases.
