Orange County anticipates that ridership on the proposed service will greatly increase OPT overall ridership. Based on historical ridership for medical/nutrition trips, OPT anticipates an average daily ridership of at least 25, not including ridership from the proposed park-and-ride to the justice facility. The proposed route, based on increased ridership from past extension of general service, will increase OPT general service ridership by 50%, or 13 passengers. Because the proposed route has some stops in common with the current Orange Express service, the new route will capture some passengers currently using the Orange Express route; so, only 13 of the projected 25 daily passengers will be "new" passengers. The transportation center will also provide a convenient stop/transfer point for current Triangle Transit/OPT service between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. The new route from Hillsborough to Chapel Hill has been very successful. OPT's statistics for the new service indicate a 37.7% increase in ridership, from 3,590 riders for the period January through March of 2006, to 9,514 riders for the period April through June 2008. The increase from 4.74 riders per hour to 10.23 riders per hour has resulted in crowded peak hour buses. TT is currently in the process of looking at including a stop at the DTCC park-and-ride lot on that route. This project is supported by the Town of Hillsborough, which has expressed willingness to participate in the match requirement and developing a marketing campaign for the new transit service in the attached Resolution in Support of Orange County's Grant Application for Congestion Management/Air Quality Grant for an In-Town Transit Route.
