The process stalls with local jurbiliciicns drafting local <br />transportation priority lists. Federal and state regulations provide for public input into the process. <br />Orange County's transportation priority needs list has two sections. One section deals with <br />selected projects within the Durham - Chapel Hill- Canboro Metropolitan Planning Organization <br />(DCHC MPO) planning boundary. The second section deals with projects in the remaining portions <br />of Orange County which lie outside of the Durham -Chapel Hill- Canbore metropolitan planning area. <br />Orange County's transportation pdor'hy list for Me projects within the Metmpoliten Planning Area <br />(MPA) must be submitted to Me DCHC MPO in November. The Transportation Advisory <br />Committee (TAC) will Men hold a public input meeting and Me North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation ( NCDOT) will meet with the MPO in January or February to discuss Me MPO's <br />priorties. <br />NCBOT held a TIP Public Input Meeting on October 30, 2001 for areas in Division 7 that are not <br />represented in a Metropolitan Planning Organization; however, NCDOT and NCBOT will accept <br />written requests for those projects through December 2001. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Board approve the attached <br />Orange County Transportation Priority Lists for Me 2004 -2010 TIP. <br />
