z <br />grange County Planning staff and Urange Public Transportation staff propose that the County <br />maintain two midday trips after Triangle Transit changes become effective. Trip times will be <br />adjusted to capture the highest possible ridership during the midday hours. Also, as a part of <br />the restructuring, it is suggested that APT not serve the Triangle Sportsplex and Chapel Hil! <br />Senior Center during the midday due to low service demand and need to match other bus <br />routes in a timely manner. <br />As a result of the proposed changes, the County transit riders will see an increase in the overall <br />number of daily trips. The number of total daily trips will increase from 9 trips to 1 ~ see the <br />table below}. The service will be concentrated during the times of the highest demand -~ <br />morning and evening commute hours. <br />Additional details are provided in attachments: Attachment ~ -~ current Route 424 schedule, and <br />Attachment ~ ~-proposed Route 4z4 schedule. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Urange County financial commitment will remain unchanged. <br />Triangle Transit will provide X44% funding forthe proposed additional peak hour trips. <br />REC~MMENDATI~N~S~: The Manager recommends the Board: <br />• Receive an overview of Route 424 changes proposed by Triangle Transit; and <br />• Approve ar comment on proposed changes to the midday service operated by 4PT and <br />forward to Triangle Transit. <br />1 TrxangZe Transit funds and QPT operates. <br />
