Adoption of <br />the SRTS Action Plan demonstrates local commitment and incentivizes NCDOT to fund <br />local projects. The second recommended step is to establish a SRTS Action Plan <br />Advisory Committee (SRTS APAC). Planning staff’s initial thought is that the SRTS <br />Advisory Committee be a sub-committee of the OUTBoard, supplemented by additional <br />staff from other agencies/jurisdictions as needed. The Advisory Committee would be <br />responsible for advocating plan implementation and assist with programming and grant <br />writing, evaluating plan progress, and assessing plan priorities. Multiple subsequent <br />implementation action steps are outlined and prioritized in the Plan, the fruition of which <br />would be subject to the recommendations of the Advisory Committee and the approval <br />of the BOCC, School Board, and Town of Hillsborough. <br /> <br />Lead Planning Agency Role <br />NCDOT recommends that the County serve as the Lead Planning Agency, but the <br />details of this responsibility will need to be worked out between Orange County, Orange <br />County Schools, and the Town of Hillsborough as an initial step in advancing <br />implementation of the SRTS Action Plan. <br />20 <br />ReturntoAgenda
