The park & ride lot will also provide <br />parking for students attending evening classes at the Durham Tech satellite campus. <br />The majority of students are evening students so the proposed park and ride lot will <br />allow Durham Tech to provide a smaller parking area needed for daytime students, <br />This project is supported by the Town of Hillsborough, which has expressed willingness <br />to participate in the match requirement and developing a marketing campaign for the <br />new transit service in the attached Resolution in Support of Orange County's Grant <br />Application for Congestion Management/Air Quality Grant for an In-Town Transit Route. <br />
