Volunteer Application <br />Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions <br />Jamie Crandell Page 1 of 2 <br />Home Address:1301 Poplar Lane <br />Township of Residence: <br />Zone of Residence: <br />Ethnic Background:White <br />Gender Identity:Female <br />Phone:9195935481 <br />Email:crandelljl@gmail.com <br />Name: Jamie Crandell <br />Boards/Commissions applied for: <br />Hillsborough NC 27278 <br />Name Called: <br />Year of OC Residence:2008 <br />Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: <br />Member of Hillsborough Elementary School PTA, Orange County Foster parent <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />None <br />Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />Age Range:35-59 <br />Orange Unified Transportation Board <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I am a biostatistician by training, with a good head for numbers and logistics. I have lived in cities <br />with public transportation available to all at a low cost, and in places where residents must be <br />car-dependent. I do not have experience specifically in transportation planning, but I have lived <br />in several different parts of Orange County and have used the roads and various types of public <br />transportation for nearly 20 years. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I have always had an interest in how cities plan for adequate transportation, and in the logistics <br />and management of public transportation. Though I don t think there is a simple solution, I don t <br />believe our County has quite maximized opportunities for providing public transportation to <br />residents. I would appreciate the opportunity to know more about the needs of the County, and <br />to develop careful plans to improve transportation in the future. Traffic, and the associated <br />noise and pollution, is an ongoing and increasing problem in Hillsborough. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />I live off of a major road in just outside of Hillsborough, and would be completely landlocked if I <br />didn t have a car. I would prefer to bike and use public transit, but safety and lack of availability <br />are ongoing barriers. I would be happy to learn more about transportation challenges, and to <br />hear and represent the needs of my neighbors in Orange County. <br />8
