Bret Martin said it takes time for the public to acknowledge a service route. He said the plan is to have a one year introduction period, followed by a 6 month data evaluation. He said the report would come back to the Board after this 6 month period. Bret Martin said this means the Board would receive a report after 18 months. He said this is just staff's recommendation. Commissioner Rich said she would like a periodic update to keep the Board in the loop. Commissioner Gordon referred to the green route listed on the last page. She said these are mid-day routes, and she asked how many passengers the buses hold. Craig Benedict said these hold 20 passengers. Commissioner Gordon said these 20 passenger buses are the kind of buses used for the rural program. Craig Benedict said yes. He said these buses are only about $75,000 each, as opposed to larger buses at $450,000. Commissioner Gordon said she is happy to see the expansion of the route up into Cedar Grove eventually. She thanked staff for their work on this program. Chair Jacobs requested that staff provide the board a visual representation of the public routes added to Orange County after the 420 route started. He said a map would provide a better picture of the system as it is growing. Craig Benedict said the need for a graphic representation for the public has been discussed, and staff will work on this. A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to endorse the staff recommended bus service expansion program (Attachments 1, 2, 3 and 4), to add a correction to the Route/Service chart ( under option 2- it should be marked "Yes" for the Efland-Hillsborough Commuter Loop) and to receive updated information on a timely basis.
