Body
A public comment period for the Wake County Transit Financial Plan and corresponding Interlocal Governance Agreement was held April 18, 2016 - May 18, 2016. A joint public hearing for the plan and corresponding agreement was held before the CAMPO Executive Board and the GoTriangle Board of Trustees May 18, 2016, with many members of the public and representatives from various advocacy groups and businesses in the region providing comments. Subsequent to the public hearing, the CAMPO Executive Board adopted unanimously by resolution the Wake County Transit Financial Plan and the Interlocal Governance Agreement.
The GoTriangle Board of Trustees is scheduled to consider approval of the plan and agreement at its May 25th meeting, and the Wake County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to consider approval of the plan and agreement at its June 6th meeting. Following consideration of the plan and agreement by the Wake County Board of Commissioners, as well as the Board’s authorization of the half-cent sales tax referendum to be placed on the November 2016 general election ballot, work will begin to organize the Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) referenced in the interlocal governance agreement. The TPAC will then begin preparing work products referenced in the agreement that are essential for successful implementation of the Wake County Transit Plan.
