transportation
After reading yet another article about the parking "problem" in downtown Carrboro/Chapel Hill, I thought it'd be worth revisiting solutions to this problem. (Or maybe non-problem, I've never had trouble parking in either town, so I don't really know what people are talking about, unless their definition of parking is parking within a 1/10th mile of the business/restaurant they wish to visit).
The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) is the
policy body within the DCHC-MPO which coordinates and makes decisions on transportation
planning issues.
The Transportation Advisory Committee is comprised of elected and
appointed officials from the City of Durham, the Town of Chapel Hill,
the Town of Carrboro, the Town of Hillsborough, Durham County, Orange
County, Chatham County, and the North Carolina Department of
Transportation. The TAC also has advisory (non-voting) members from
Triangle Transit, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Research
Triangle Foundation of North Carolina.
The Transportation Advisory Committee is governed by a set of Bylaws (25 KB), revised November 9, 2005.
The
TAC normally meets the second Wednesday of each month in the Durham
City Council Committee Room at 9 a.m. There is typically no meeting in
July. Some meetings may take place in the evening to facilitate
participation in public hearings. Check the calendar for upcoming
meeting dates.
Date:
Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - 9:00am to 11:00am
Location:
Committee Room, 2nd Floor, Durham City Hall, Durham NC
Over the next two weeks, Orange County will be holding public outreach sessions to get feedback from central and rural Orange County residents about the Orange County Bus and Rail Investment Plan.

Four meetings will be held throughout northern Orange County in August. The dates and locations are as follows, and can also be found on the OP calendar.
