Implementation of the Orange <br /> County Transit Plan occurs through an Annual Work Program (AWP), which outlines specific <br /> projects and associated funding allocations for each fiscal year.Any project funded through these <br /> proceeds must receive formal approval from both the Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> (BOCC) and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees. <br /> The development of the Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Work Program (FY26 AWP) followed the <br /> established process and schedule as recommended by the Staff Work Group (SWG) in June 2022 <br /> with the same being approved in subsequent years. For FY26, Orange County does not anticipate <br /> initiating or funding any new transit projects. However, it will maintain and support existing <br /> services, including the continued operation and expansion of the Mobility-on-Demand service, <br /> which remains a key component of the county's strategy to improve accessibility and <br /> transportation equity. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT:There is no financial Impact associated with this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): Receive update <br /> 600 Hwy 86 N - Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Phone (919)245-2008 - Fax (919) 732-2137 <br /> orangecountync.gov/transportation <br />
