The FY26 AWP was adopted by Staff Working Group (SWG) in the spring <br /> of 2025 and approved by the Board of Commissioners and the GoTriangle Board. <br /> On March 27, 2026, the Staff Working Group voted to release proposed fourth quarter (Q4) <br /> amendments to the FY26 Annual Work Program for public comment. No public comments were <br /> received. And on May 20, 2026, the SWG voted to recommend the BOCC and GoTriangle Board <br /> approve the attached AWP FY26 Q4 amendments in three groups. <br /> 1. Orange County: Administrative Funding to Support SWG <br /> Orange County is requesting $24,307 in operating dollars to support increased demands <br /> associated with administering the SWG, including five special meetings held in FY26. <br /> SPONSOR ID CATEGORY DESCRIPTON AMOUNT <br /> Orange County N/A 240PTTS01 Operating -TPA Staff Working Group $24,307 <br /> Administrator <br /> The Orange Staff Working Group voted 7-3, with GoTriangle and Carrboro voting against, to <br /> advance this request to Orange County Board of Commissioners. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The amendment impact for FY26 is $24,307 on the approved FY26 <br /> Orange County Annual Work Program for Transportation. This would offset expenses <br /> incurred by Orange County. This additional expenditure is not included in the FY 2026-27 <br /> Work Plan (Agenda Item 6-f in the June 16, 2026 Board agenda package) because it cannot <br /> be financially sustained next fiscal year given other recommended investments. <br />
