What's on this agenda

Orange County's Unified Transportation Board took comments on the county's first bicycle and pedestrian plan on November 18, 2024, elected officers for the coming year, and approved the annual report it sends to commissioners.

Stantec is writing the plan, which covers the unincorporated county and will feed into an update of the county's multimodal transportation plan. The board's own year, as its report tells it, went into recommending the NC 54 multimodal corridor study, getting NC 10 and a regional transit center in Hillsborough named county priorities in the state's Strategic Prioritization process, and pressing for grant money for three mobility-on-demand vans. For 2025 it lists finishing the US 70 multimodal corridor study, expanding mobility on demand, advancing the Hillsborough regional transit center, and widening Safe Routes to School to cover every school in the county. No minutes are on file for this meeting, so how the board voted is not recorded here.
