2 <br /> Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) Update <br /> With the adoption of 2022 Orange County's Transit Plan, OCTS began implementing its <br /> portion of the plan: Continuation of Existing Services and Mobility-on-Demand. OCTS is <br /> also exploring opportunities to: <br /> • Consolidate and provide for Go Triangle's ODX and Chapel Hill Transit's (CHT) <br /> 420 fixed routes by merging them into OCTS' Orange-Alamance and Orange- <br /> Chapel Hill fixed routes respectively so that Go Triangle and CHT can pursue <br /> other funded projects in the transit plan; and, <br /> • Discussing with Hillsborough staff the possibilities of making Hillsborough a <br /> Regional Multimodal Transit Center in conjunction with the town's new train station. <br /> While these projects are identified but not funded in the 2022 Orange County Transit Plan, <br /> OCTS seeks to update the Short Range Transit Plan to address these and other <br /> immediate improvements to the County's transit system. Go Triangle is already updating <br /> their SRTP through Nelson/Nygaard's assistance and OCTS staff seeks to do the same. <br /> Bus Shelters <br /> OCTS is in the process of creating three new bus shelters starting with one on North <br /> Campus, Orange County Library, and Fairview Community Center. Staff is working with <br /> DCHC MPO to flex fund over to transit for the necessary improvements to the existing <br /> bus stops. Staff will follow the same process used in constructing the recently completed <br /> bus shelters at Home Depot, Hillsborough Police Station and other locations in Orange <br /> County. However, it will be done so without the use of the County's transit tax funds. <br /> Please forward any questions, comments or concerns to Orange County Transportation <br /> Director Nishith Trivedi at ntrivedi _orangecountync.gov. <br />
