After sending an initial e-mail, planning staff followed-up with a phone call to the County’s Community Relations Director; he indicated that PSAs could be written for UNC Chapel Hill’s radio station, WCHL, with specific details pertaining to the timeframe for the message delivery as well as basic information pertinent to the message. Planning staff shared that text and audio files had been created and could be provided to WCHL if it would expedite distribution. Staff received a follow-up e-mail that the files would be aired on WCHL over the course of January. At this point in time, there are several questions that are important for the OUTBoard to consider in order to succinctly closeout the bicycle safety business from this process. These include: x What specific public events are the OUTBoard interested in facilitating to disperse educational materials? Who will staff these events? x Where are other locations (perhaps non-governmental) that the OUTBoard would like to see bike maps and brochures distributed? Who will support distributing these materials? x What is the status of the social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and website for Orange County Bicycle Safety, and who is the responsible for updating it? x Are there any other specific bike safety tasks that OUTBoard members will help complete over the next few months? NEXT STEPS: x Planning staff will gather feedback from OUTBoard to above questions. x Planning staff will compile research for tabling opportunities that are county-specific and merge these with list from the OUTBoard. x Planning staff will create a timeline for distribution of materials and assign responsibilities to those who are interested in tabling. RECOMMENDATION(S):Staff recommends the OUTBoard: 1. Receive the information; 2. Discuss responses to the questions posed, and 3. Decide on priorities and responsibilities to complete Bike Safety tasks from 2019. 8
