Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

Orange County's Staff Working Group, which coordinates the county's transit partners, reviews eight amendments to the FY26 Orange County Annual Transit Workplan. The substantive changes move Chapel Hill Transit funding for its North-South Bus Rapid Transit vehicles from operating to capital, add a GoTriangle service-planning position funded partly by Orange County, and request five more revenue hours for GoTriangle's Route 800.

The rest of the agenda is housekeeping: five Orange County transit projects, covering circulator operations, paratransit, fixed-route service, and mobility-on-demand, get only a change to their listed project contact.
