Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive an update on the Draft FY27 Durham Annual Transit Work Program (Work Program).
As part of the appropriations process for the Durham County Transit Plan, an annual Work Program is developed which includes a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The 2023 Transit Governance Interlocal Agreement (ILA) determines the process by which the annual budget is developed and approved. Under the guidance of the ILA, the Work Program requires approval by the Durham Board of County Commissioners and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees.
The Durham Board of County Commissioners received a presentation at their April 6 work session. Durham County staff will now provide an update on the status of the Work Program and the next steps for approval. The City of Durham will also present a recent request.
After a final recommendation is made from the Staff Working Group, the Board will be requested to adopt the Final Recommended FY27 Durham Annual Transit Work Program in June 2026.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Durham County Strategic Goal: Regional Leadership.
Resource Persons: Ellen Beckmann, AICP, Transportation Director; Brandi Minor, CLGFO, Transit Program Administrator; Sean Egan, City of Durham Transportation Director
