VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner McKee said he understands that this will be coming back in the fall. He said the sooner the better for staff, and he suggested this be scheduled in September. Bret Martin said this is currently scheduled for the September 11 work session, but that was a tentative placeholder. Commissioner Pelissier requested more information about existing services, especially related to the zonal routes. She is not sure how these differ from the existing response demand routes. She does not understand how the proposed additions fit into what is already being done. She does not have a clear picture of whether or not we are saturated. She is aware that some of the service is paid through Medicaid, but she would like to see a big picture of what is being added. Commissioner McKee said he would like clarification on whether these zonal routes make more sense as a comprehensive approach compared to the route in Efland. Bret Martin said he will work to pull all of this information together for the September meeting. Commissioner Gordon asked if the mid day route on 70 is considered a commuter service. Staff indicated no. Commissioner Gordon asked what the Efland-Hillsborough commuter route is considered to be. Bret Martin said the Efland-Hillsborough commuter route is a service that would run during peak periods to coincide with the ODX route to provide a peak direction service from Efland to Hillsborough to tie into the ODX stop in Hillsborough. He said the service would offer a pre-Hillsborough circulator service, hitting a number of stops on the north side of Hillsborough in transit dependent areas before going through downtown and the south side of Hillsborough where a lot of employment destinations are located. Commissioner Gordon said the zonal routes are the demand response routes, and she thinks the survey feedback showed a strong interest in this. She asked if this is correct. Bret Martin said option 2 is nothing more than the result of the public comment. e.
