Wake County Transit Plan Status Update

Body
Following the Wake County Board of Commissioners approval of the Wake County Transit Financial Plan and corresponding Interlocal Governance Agreement (ILA) on June 6, 2016, the Transit Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC), created and authorized by the ILA, held its first meeting on June 20, 2016. To date, the TPAC has held multiple meetings to develop its operational structure, including its bylaws, membership, meeting schedule, and sub-committees and working groups, and to discuss the beginnings of many of its work products related to plan implementation outlined in the ILA as the TPAC’s responsibility. It is anticipated that the CAMPO TCC and Executive Board will begin to receive recommendations related to its operational structure and composition by September or October and technical recommendations related to Wake County Transit Plan implementation by mid- to late-autumn. The referendum authorizing the ½ percent sales tax that would substantially fund the plan’s vision will be decided on the general election ballot in November 2016.
