A list of acronyms is provided (Attachment 1) to go along with the <br /> recommended County Transportation Priority projects noted in Attachments 2 through 4. <br /> • Due to cancellation of SPOT 6, staff recommends the same priorities as previously <br /> submitted. <br /> • Staff is recommending removal of independent bike/ped projects per State Transportation <br /> Investment law— North Carolina General Statutes § 136-189.11 (d).(3).c.— <br /> o "The Department shall not provide financial support for independent bicycle and <br /> pedestrian improvement projects." <br /> • Independent bike/ped projects can be pursued through Federal Surface Transportation <br /> Block Grant Direct Allocation (SDBGDA) which is part of STIP. The projects require 20% <br /> local match and local administration. <br /> • Staff recommends adding Old NC-86, NC-86, US-70 and NC-54 as County Priorities for <br /> SPOT and other funding opportunities. <br /> TRANPORTATION ADVISORY SERVICE (TAS): <br /> The TAS met on Thursday, January 26, 2023 and unanimously recommended approval. <br /> Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) Action: <br /> The OUTBoard met on Thursday, January 26, 2023 and unanimously recommended approval. <br /> Nishith Trivedi, Transportation Director, introduced the item and made the following <br /> presentation: <br /> Slide #1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> Orange County <br /> Transportation Priorities for <br /> SPOT 7.0 <br /> March 7, 2023 <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br /> Urn 6.a <br />
