<br />142 Review the Operating Statistics table. Explain +/-10°k variance between FY08 and FY09 performance.
<br />TOTAL PASSENGER TRIPS/TOTAL TRANSIT SYSTEM TRIPS- reduced due to Chapel Hill Transit operating the peak high demand
<br />hour service for the 420 route (Chapel Hill to Hillsborough) that was previously operated by Orange Public Transportation in 2008. The
<br />transfer of peak hour service was due to necessity to contract with Chapel Hill Transit which operates larger vehicles to accommodate
<br />the increase in ridership. Chapel Hill Transit provided 23,919 rides during peak hours which provided a increase in total ridership. If
<br />OPT had the larger vehicle capacity and continued to operate the peak hour route, there would have been a 2.6% increase in total
<br />passenger trips/total transit system trips.
<br />143 After reviewing the system's vital signs, what has the system been doing well?
<br />COST PER PASSENGER TRIP: OPT consistantly performs well in this area. Although, the cost per passenger trip rose to $8.77
<br />surrounding systems have a higher cost. Chatham County is $13.23, Durham County is $21.55, Alamance County is $17.75, and
<br />Person County is $12.55. OPT accomplishes this low cost per passenger trip by grouping trips with multiple passengers. Again, OPt
<br />provides 7,381 yearly trips per driver FTE. Chatham County'provides 3,494; Alamance County provides 3,281; and Person County
<br />provides 6,218.
<br />144 After reviewing the system's vital signs, what should the system do to improve it's performance outcomes?
<br />OPT should purchase larger vehicles that can accommodate more passengers. Orange County is planning coordinated transit plans
<br />with Chapel Hill Transit to provide a Chapel Hill in-town route for seniors. Also, OPT is planning a Hillsborough in-town route with the
<br />assistance of Town of Hillsborough. OPT vehicle fleet is in need of replacement due to many of the vehicles already meeting the
<br />NCDOT criteria for replacement.
