transit plan
The 1/2% transit sales tax in Durham and Orange Counties taxes becomes effective Monday April 1, so if you are imbibing out past midnight on Sunday, tip your glass to regional transit.
The $7 county vehicle registration fee for transit takes effect a bit later, July 1 in Orange and September 1 in Durham. The $3 TTA Durham/Orange regional fee surcharge is still plodding through the approval process.
The UNC Roosevelt Institute is hosting a speaker panel + Q&A on Monday, Oct. 8th at 7 p.m. in Howell 104.
Speakers will discuss how the 1/2-cent transit sales tax will work in
Orange County, why it's necessary for our transit future in the
Triangle, and the economic and environmental benefits of making these
investments.
Parking available on campus at Cobb Parking Deck or at the Wallace Deck at 150 E. Rosemary Street. Howell Hall is located between the Morehead Planetarium and E. Cameron Avenue; map available here.
