21 <br /> What are the concerns or emerging issues your board has identified for the <br /> upcoming year that it plans to address, or wishes to bring to the Commissioners' <br /> attention? <br /> 1. Monitor connectivity and infrastructural changes with the local jurisdictions, <br /> surrounding counties, regional agencies, and along utility easements to create a more <br /> comprehensive multimodal transportation system. <br /> 2. Work with NCDOT to promote funding of multimodal projects in rural areas to a <br /> greater degree. <br /> 3. Promote alternative transportation modes during peak hours via public-private <br /> partnerships through County TDM Program. <br /> 4. Continue work with NCDOT in completing pedestrian counts as a function of the <br /> Municipal Schools Transportation Assistance (MSTA) study conducted at Grady <br /> Brown Elementary School and Cedar Ridge High School and share findings from the <br /> final report. <br /> 5. Improve transportation planning process by encouraging local schools and other <br /> public agencies to be more involved through public engagement. <br /> 6. Pursue alternative means of addressing local match and local administration <br /> requirements for non-highway projects when plausible options exist for rural, low- <br /> density areas of the County; at the same time, encourage municipal partners to pursue <br /> similar options in urbanized, higher-density municipal areas. <br /> 4 <br />
