The position would require an amendment <br /> to the Code of Ordinances (Article 26) to be approved by the Board of Commissioners <br /> OCTS staff, Transportation Advisory Board and the OUTBoard recommends a non-voting <br /> position be made available and held by an Orange County resident youth (13 to 17 years <br /> of age) who has an interest in a multimodal transportation network in Orange County. <br /> OUTBoard requests this youth delegate be a permanent position through the update of <br /> the OUTBoard Policies and Procedures, membership section with the following addition: <br /> • One non-voting youth delegate between the ages 13 and 17 will be appointed to <br /> serve annually. <br /> The addition of a youth delegate member position to the OUTBoard would bring valuable <br /> insight to decisions relating to the future of the County's transportation network, from one <br /> of the most vulnerable users of the multimodal system. <br /> Please forward any questions, comments or concerns to OCTS Transportation Director <br /> Nishith Trivedi at ntrivedi orangecountync.gov. <br /> Orange County Transportation Services <br /> 606 NC 86 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />
