Title

Approval of the FY26 Durham Annual Transit Work Program Global Operating and Capital Agreements

 

Body

Date of BOCC Meeting: August 11, 2025

 

Request for Board Action:

Agenda Text

The Board is requested to approve the FY26 Durham Annual Transit Work Program Global Operating and Capital Agreements.

 

The FY2026 Durham Annual Transit Work Program (“Work Program”) is the annual budget for the Durham Transit Plan and includes projected revenues, expenditures, as well as a Multi-Year Operating and Multi-Year Capital Improvement Program. The Work Program was approved by the Durham Board of County Commissioners on May 12, 2025, and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees on June 25, 2025.

 

To be eligible to receive reimbursement for project expenditures identified in the Work Program, Durham County must enter into Global Operating and Capital Agreements (“Global Agreements”) with GoTriangle, the Administrator of the Triangle Tax District, and the Triangle West Transportation Planning Organization (“Triangle West TPO”) for projects that have been awarded federal funding. A global agreement is an operating or capital funding agreement that encompasses a discrete logical grouping of capital projects, transit operations or studies.

 

The global agreements will allow the County to request reimbursement in FY26 of up to $817,608 for the County-sponsored operating and capital projects. Durham County may also request reimbursement for any carryover capital projects identified in the Work Program.

 

To be eligible to receive reimbursement for project expenditures identified in the Work Program, GoTriangle must enter into Global Agreements with Durham County and the Triangle West TPO for projects that have been awarded federal funding.

 

The global agreements will allow GoTriangle to request reimbursement in FY26 of up to $13,933,789 for the GoTriangle-sponsored operating and capital projects. GoTriangle may also request reimbursement for any carryover capital projects identified in the Work Program.
