ATTACHMENT 1 6 <br />OPT 5 -Year Bus Service Expansion Recommendation Notes <br />1) Northeastern and Northwestern County Zonal Routes — Route would come online July 2014, would be <br />one (1) day per week on a Tuesday or Thursday running five (5) hours per day with one (1)- to two (2)- <br />hour headways during off -peak periods depending on run times, and would run a deviated fixed -route <br />or point- deviated demand response schedule. The route would connect residents in northern Orange <br />County to destinations and additional transit connections in Hillsborough. The service would be fare - <br />free. <br />2) Later Senior Center Service — Route would come online July 2014, would be a daily weekday service <br />running approximately three (3) hours per day (two, 1.5 -hour run time structured routes), and would run <br />a deviated fixed route or point- deviated demand response schedule. The route would provide earlier <br />and /or later service to and from Orange County senior centers (with an emphasis on the Central <br />Orange Senior Center) beyond times the service is currently provided. The service would be fare -free. <br />3) US 70 Midday Service — Route would come online August 2014, would be a daily weekday fixed -route <br />service running approximately five (5) hours per day during off -peak periods with two (2) -hour <br />headways per direction and a total two (2) -hour run time. The route would connect Mebane /Buckhorn <br />and Efland with destinations and additional transit connections in Hillsborough and Durham. The <br />service would be fare -free. <br />This service is being designed to correspond with Triangle Transit's proposed peak period Orange - <br />Durham Express (ODX) service. Phase I of that service is scheduled to come online in August 2014 <br />and would connect only Hillsborough and Durham. During this period, OPT may begin providing peak <br />period service from Mebane to Efland to Hillsborough to link into Phase I of Triangle Transit's Orange - <br />Durham Express. Beginning January 2015, Phase II of Triangle Transit's Orange- Durham Express is <br />scheduled to come online completing the Mebane- Hillsborough- Durham connection. When Phase II <br />comes online, OPT will begin providing the midday (off -peak period) service connecting Mebane, <br />Efland, Hillsborough, and Durham. <br />4) Efland- Hillsborough Commuter Loop — When Phase II of Triangle Transit's Orange- Durham Express <br />commences in January 2015, OPT will run an Efland- Hillsborough commuter loop to provide peak - <br />period and peak- direction service from Efland to link into the Triangle Transit Orange- Durham Express <br />service in Hillsborough. After providing the short Efland to Hillsborough run, the route would then be run <br />to provide an employment commuting- oriented, pre - Hillsborough Circulator service to connect transit - <br />dependent residential origins in northern Hillsborough to service sector employment destinations in <br />southern Hillsborough before deadheading back to Efland to provide the next Efland to Hillsborough <br />commuter link service run. The service would be fare -free. <br />5) Route 420 Expansion — Route would come online January 2015, would be a daily weekday service <br />running up to an additional six (6) hours per day (three [3] hours each northbound and southbound) <br />with one (1) -hour headways, and would run a fixed -route schedule. This is in addition to the existing <br />three (3) service hours per day currently run by Route 420; the full service schedule would involve a <br />total of nine (9) midday service hours. This assumes a two (2) -hour run time each way. The existing <br />Route 420 would be expanded to connect Cedar Grove with destinations and additional transit <br />connections in Hillsborough and would continue on to destinations and additional transit connections in <br />Chapel Hill. The service would be fare -free. <br />6) Hillsborough Circulator with Additional Noon Hour Service — Route would begin using OPT OCBRIP <br />funding July 2015 and would continue the existing Hillsborough Circulator service with an additional <br />hour added for 12pm -1 pm. The route would continue to be fare -free. <br />
