2 <br />example. The Orange Public Tran:~portation (OPT) grant request for FY 2003-2004 is <br />$196,528, and the grant application must be approved by the local advisory board prior to the <br />presentation to the BOCC for its approval on November 18, 2003. The grant application is due <br />to NCDOT by November 21, 2003. <br />The local advisory board for OPT operations is not seen as a substitute for the "Orange County <br />Transportation Planning Steering Committee" that has been discussed informally. A steering <br />committee of that nature would have a much larger planning scope concentrating on all aspects <br />of transportation including roads, environmental impacts, area transit, bike-ways, and <br />relationship to economic and population growth. An Orange County Transportation Planning <br />Steering Committee would likely be formed and facilitated through the Orange County Planning <br />Department, and the Committee membership would probably include representatives from the <br />administrative and/or advisory board level of OPT. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the proposed changes. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The M~~nager recommends that the Board review and approve the <br />proposed by-laws revisions. <br />
