in Durham, support this with equitable engagement

important to remember: engagement is not enough, needs follow through

seems very level headed and reasonable

council approved a 1/2 cent tax

equates $1.6MM

Where this fits into the map of everything else that’s going on.. there are so many things happening that need to be fit together so people can know what does what, and what the origin and purpose is of everything

Working with Curamericas for data

Curamericas did the city and county vaccine equity program working with smaller non profits who didn’t necessarily have the capacity to the administrative or reporting component of the work

reading about this

There was once an idea: Transportation Advisory Commission to help advise city council

BPAC could help do that

Ed feels a specific commission might be a better focus

Durham Planning currently has a statement favoring the creation of a Transportation Advisory Commission

is there a triangle wide bike ped commission?

Dale McKeel not that I know of

Chapel Hill combined some boards

LATER what should the Transportation Advisory Commission look like? look up what Durham Planning is thinking for that, sounded like they were going to create a separate one. Then send an email to BPAC with recommendation for action.
