9 <br /> Chel Hill <br /> 1110sit <br /> DATE: September 3, 2025 <br /> TO: Orange County Staff Working Group <br /> FROM: Caroline Dwyer, Chapel Hill Transit <br /> RE: Requested Amendments to FY26 Orange County Annual Transit Workplan <br /> REQUEST SUMMARY <br /> Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) is requesting the following amendments to projects included in the FY <br /> 2026 Orange County Annual Transit Workplan, as further described in this memo. This <br /> amendment reallocates operating funds to capital funds with net zero fiscal impact on current and <br /> future AWPs. <br /> DESCRIPTION ID AMENDMENT NOTES <br /> REQUEST <br /> AMOUNT <br /> Route CW: Improve 23CHTTS01 ($749,993) Reflects allocations in FY26-29 <br /> Midday Service <br /> Route HS:Weekend 24CHTTS01 ($629,250) Reflects allocations in FY26-29 <br /> Service <br /> Route NS: Eubanks- 26CHTTS13 ($992,439) Reflects allocations in FY26-29 <br /> Southern Village <br /> Route D: UNC-Patterson 26CHTTS14 ($1,393,729) Reflects allocations in FY26-29 <br /> Place <br /> BRT- North-South 20CHTCD03 $3,765,411 Reflects allocations in FY26-29 <br /> NET AMENDMENT $0.00 <br /> NEED <br /> Amend Existing Projects to Reallocate Funding to NSBRT <br /> We are requesting to amend the FY26 Annual Transit Workplan to reallocate committed operating <br /> funding to CRT's NSBRT capital project. Prior to requesting a Small Starts Grant Agreement from <br /> the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), CHT must clearly demonstrate that all local NSBRT <br /> funding is committed. This request reallocates funding from projects that CHT has been unable <br /> to implement due to ongoing operator shortages to the NSBRT project, filling a funding availability <br /> gap that must be closed before the project will be considered for federal funding. This request has <br /> a net zero fiscal impact on the transit plan, and we are not requesting changes to the timing of <br /> fund allocation. <br /> ID EXISTING FY26 FY27 FY28 FY29 TOTAL <br /> PROJECT <br /> 23CHTTS01 Route CW: ($102,750) ($210,443) ($215,700) ($221,100) ($749,993) <br /> Improve Midday <br /> Service <br /> 24CHTTS01 Route HS: ($86,150) ($176,600) ($181,000) ($185,500) ($629,250) <br /> Weekend Service <br /> 26CHTTS13 Route NS: ($322,679) ($330,740) ($339,020) ($992,439) <br /> Eubanks-Southern <br /> Villa e <br /> 26CHTTS14 Route D: UNC- ($453,153) ($464,474) ($476,102) ($1,393,729) <br /> Patterson Place <br /> 405 Martin Luther King Junior Blvd. Chapel Hill, NC 27514 1 www.chtransit.org <br />
