He 29 said there is demand in this area for more of a fixed route schedule, as opposed to purely 30 demand response. He said the proposal is to offer the opportunity for people to call for demand 31 response service, but there will still be specific service nodes within this zone at specific times. 32 He said this will allow the opportunity to gather data on what method people are really using, in 33 order to refine the service. 34 Bret Martin said three service hours per day are being added to the Senior Center 35 shuttles. 36 Bret Martin referred to slide 15 regarding the Cedar Grove - Hillsborough - Chapel Hill 37 route. He said this service is really just an extension of the Hillsborough to Chapel Hill shuttle 38 up to Cedar Grove, which is just a 15 minute extension. He said the service hours would be 39 extended. 40 Bret Martin said the Hillsborough Circulator route is listed as part of the option 1 service 41 routes because, beginning in 2016, it will begin to take advantage of the vehicle registration fee 42 funding. He said to keep this consistent with other circulator routes it will continue not to have a 43 fare. 44 Bret Martin reviewed the maps for option #2 service concepts, and said these slides only 45 highlight the things that are different from option #1. These differences are listed in red on the 46 PowerPoint slides. 47 He said option #2 for the US 70 mid -day service would not provide service to Durham. 48 He said one reason for this proposal is the fact that the budget only allows for the inclusion of 2 49 hour directional headways. He said this option would allow for 1 hour directional headways and 50 would be more user friendly, but it would not provide service to Durham.
