19 <br /> Slide #8 <br /> GOTRIANGLE REQUEST #2: ROUTE 800 <br /> ■ Durham considered and did not approve, twice <br /> ■ Manager's Recommendation: This is a jointly funded expansion project between <br /> Orange and Durham Counties. Durham has rejected this amendment, and the <br /> County Manager cannot justify a one-sided increase without the partnership with <br /> Durham. <br /> Sarah Williamson said that GoTriangle has shared additional information about this <br /> funding request since the Board's agenda packet was published. The new information states that <br /> in FY25 the cost share for route 800 was 74% GoTriangle, 13% Durham Transit Plan and 13% <br /> Orange Transit Plan, and the cost increase being considered is for expanding service. She said <br /> that Staff recommend the Board reject this amendment to the annual work plan and ask the SWG <br /> to consider maintaining the current level of service in the FY27 Annual Work Plan, not increasing <br /> the service as proposed in the FY26 Q2 amendment, and additionally, that the SWG evaluate <br /> route modifications and ridership levels as part of the Annual Work Plan process. <br /> Slide #9 <br /> CHAPEL HILLTRANSIT REQUESTS <br /> .
