The study will be funded by <br />DOT and coordinated by Triangle 7 COG if approved by all boards. <br />An agenda item fox' BOCC discussion and action will be included at one of our upcoming <br />BOCC meetings since time is critical if we want to consider the results of the study <br />dining our 2005 budget deliberations. <br />The County Board Chair endorsed the study but all agreed that any recommendations <br />would have to face the scrutiny of each Boazd of Commissioners, Community and <br />respective Transportation System Stakeholders before any outcomes were initiated.
