Title
Durham Transit Plan FY20 Amendment - Bus Stop Construction (10 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
In the FY20 Durham Transit Tax Annual Work Plan, $500,000 was programmed for design of 50 bus stop improvements for GoDurham. Progress on this work has proceeded at a pace that construction can be scheduled on 10 stops in FY20 rather than FY21 as previously planned. In addition, GoTriangle recommends proceeding with procurement of amenities for all 50 stops in order to access better prices and ensure amenities are in stock for installation as each stop is ready for construction. Therefore, GoTriangle, on behalf of GoDurham, is requesting an additional $1,029,000 of funding from the Durham Transit Tax Fund to be pulled forward from the future funding pipeline into FY20. This is considered a material change to the plan per the existing Interlocal Agreement (ILA) because the request is for more than $500,000 towards bus service. Therefore, the request must be approved by the governing boards of three parties to the ILA: GoTriangle, DCHC MPO, and the Durham Board of County Commissioners.
