8 <br /> Implementation: <br /> The Orange County Commuter Options(OCCO)program is overseen by the Transportation Demand <br /> Coordinator, and promotes alternative commuting modes through programs such as: telework training; <br /> transit 101 training,presentations at new employee orientation, and events geared to all commute modes <br /> throughout the year. The TDM Coordinator will be responsible for the dissemination of the TMP itself <br /> and the travel alternatives it lists to key County staff on the TMP site. The TDM Coordinator will conduct <br /> a biennial commuter survey provided by the Town of Chapel Hill,to show travel behavior of Orange <br /> County employees on the Campus as a measure of program effectiveness. A TDM program effectiveness <br /> report will be prepared annually by the TDM Coordinator and disseminated to the Town of Chapel Hill, <br /> Orange County Planning Department, and Orange County Public Transportation(OCPT). <br /> Actions by Alternative Commute Mode <br /> Transit: <br /> There are two transit systems that operate in and around the Southern Orange Campus. They are Chapel <br /> Hill Transit and Orange County Public Transportation. The TDM Coordinator will promote all the routes <br /> from both systems that serve the campus. Furthermore,there will be a commuter information station that <br /> will be inside each major building that will assist with helping employees and the community get to and <br /> from this location. Lastly,the TDM Coordinator will work with Go Triangle to establish a subsidized bus <br /> pass program as a further barrier reduction measure for County employees. <br /> The following is a list of additional example actions that The TDM Coordinator could take each year to <br /> support transit use by campus staff and visitors: <br /> • Publicize the transit system in County news releases and on the website. <br /> • Make the sales and availability of bus passes convenient for employees <br /> • Provide a detailed presentation about the transit system to all new employees <br /> • Collaborate with public and private transportation services to overcome barriers to mobility. <br /> • During renovations and redesigns make suggestions for transit improvements such as bus stop <br /> seating or shelters <br />
