5 <br /> FY26 Annual Work Program <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The 2023 Interlocal Agreement (ILA) strengthens the framework for transit planning and administration <br /> in Orange County, enhancing collaboration among Go Triangle, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), and the Orange County Board of Commissioners. <br /> This updated agreement builds on the original 2013 ILA, adopted after the approval of the 2012 transit <br /> sales tax referendum. <br /> Key updates in the 2023 ILA include expanding the Staff Working Group (SWG) to include <br /> representatives from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and Mebane, ensuring broader representation <br /> and interagency coordination. The SWG, as the administrative and advisory body, is tasked with <br /> developing a recommended Annual Work Program, which now incorporates: <br /> • Annual Operating Budget Ordinance <br /> • Annual Tax District Administration Budget <br /> • Multi-Year Capital Improvement Plan <br /> • Annual Capital Budget Ordinance <br /> • Annual Operating Program <br /> • Adjustments to the Current Durham Transit Financial Plan and Financial Model Assumptions <br /> • Multi-Year Capital and Operating Global Agreements <br /> Orange County, designated as the SWG Administrator, oversees the SWG's functions, ensuring effective <br /> project reporting and accountability. The Annual Work Program, a critical output of the ILA, must be <br /> adopted by both the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Go Triangle Board of Trustees, <br /> reflecting the shared commitment to coordinated transit investment and operational transparency. <br /> January 1 -• AWP forpublic • <br /> X <br /> April 2025Orange Countyapproved FY26 AWP <br />
