19TVIT 1111110IM11Z63 <br />Pedestrians and Bicycles <br />M <br />Approximate two -foot bike lanes have been striped along Old NC 10 and Old <br />Hillsborough Road. These bicycle facilities are consistent with the rural expressway <br />character of the roads. A bike lane project is proposed on NC 751 at the eastern edge <br />of the Study Area. The project is included in the Durham - Chapel Hill - Carrboro <br />Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) Metropolitan Transportation Plan <br />(MTP). This bike lane would provide connectivity with the lanes along Old NC 10 and <br />Old Hillsborough Road. <br />Many of the arterials and collector roadways in the Eno EDD area do not currently have <br />continuous pedestrian or bicycle facilities. As these existing rural areas transition to <br />urbanized areas, pedestrian and bicycle facilities will be encouraged for the surrounding <br />arterial and collector streets. <br />Bus, Car/Van Pool, and Park - and -Ride Lots <br />General bus services do not serve the Eno EDD area at this time. However, Orange <br />Public Transit (OPT) provides social service transit service for area senior citizens and <br />low income residents who can arrange for transportation to and from medical <br />appointments through OPT. <br />OPT and Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) are currently in a planning phase for new bus <br />services included in the adopted Orange County Bus and Rail Investment Plan <br />(OCBRIP). A cross - county route, with stops along the way, is one of the initial regional <br />routes being planned. This route will cross through the Eno EDD area on its way to <br />Durham. <br />Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) operates a ridesharing matching service for commuters <br />who are interested in carpooling. In addition, TTA operates vanpools that are made up <br />of at least seven commuters who live and work near each other and who share <br />approximately the same work hours. One leg of the vanpool's trip must begin or end in <br />Wake, Durham, or Orange County. TTA provides the van, pays for gas and insurance, <br />and arranges, oversees, and pays for all maintenance. Riders pay a monthly fare based <br />on the average daily round -trip mileage. Commuters who are interested in joining a <br />vanpool may contact TTA to inquire about joining an existing vanpool or starting a new <br />vanpool. <br />At the present time, there are no official park- and -ride lots located in the Eno EDD area. <br />211Page <br />
