Durham & Orange Transit Plan Governance Study — Interlocal Agreement Between <br /> 37 Orange County, Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization, and <br /> 38 Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority <br /> 39 The Board considered adoption of the Orange County Transit Plan Interlocal Agreement (ILA). <br /> 40 <br /> 41 BACKGROUND: In the early 2010's, Orange County approved a county-wide transit plan, which <br /> 42 included a joint recommendation for the development of the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit <br /> 43 (DO LRT) project. In 2013, an interlocal agreement (ILA) was developed and approved by the <br /> 44 Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> 45 Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) Board and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees. <br /> 46 Upon the discontinuation of the DO LRT project, it was realized that a new governance framework <br /> 47 (aka ILA) was necessary to guide the implementation of future County transit plans. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Project goals include: <br /> 50 Creation of a clear, operationally efficient governance structure that ensures that Orange <br /> 51 County priorities are funded and implemented with the County transit taxes and fees. <br />
