u <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />NORTH CAROLINA <br />ORANGE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ADA PARATRANSIT PLAN <br />same service at no charge to the user. There is no fare for ADA - eligible users to take <br />advantage of this service within 3/4 -mile of the Hillsborough Circulator route, and the fare is <br />$4.00 each way to take advantage of the service within 3/4 -mile of the Hillsborough to <br />Chapel Hill Shuttle ( "Route 420 Midday "), which is twice the full fare for the general public <br />for using the fixed -route portion of the service. Both the fixed -route vehicles that are <br />dispatched to deviate for scheduled pick -ups and drop -offs and vehicles used to provide <br />separate complementary service are 100% accessible to and usable by persons with <br />disabilities and are equipped with electric wheelchair lifts. <br />General Service Details. <br />For demand - responsive specialized transportation services, under normal circumstances, <br />customers ride no more than one hour to reach their desired destination, and customers are <br />delivered to their destinations on time. All specialized demand - response services are <br />provided within a one (1) -hour window to maximize the active fleet's available resources. <br />Pick -up times are up to one (1) hour before the scheduled appointment with the actual pick- <br />up times being anytime within that hour. Return trips home are provided within a one (1)- <br />hour window. Currently there are no capacity constraints placed on ADA - eligible users of <br />the system for either the specialized services of the fixed -route services. <br />For fixed -route service, reservations are taken from up to 14 days in advance of the <br />scheduled service date until the day preceding the day of service for any trip purpose and <br />for service from any origin to destination during the same days and times of operation and <br />within the respective 3/4 -mile buffer of each respective fixed - route. Reservation service is <br />available during the normal business hours of OPT's administrative offices, as well as <br />during the same time as OPT's normal administrative business hours on days when the <br />offices are closed preceding a service day. <br />Description of Current Eligibility Determination Process: <br />Requirements of Transit System: <br />As previously noted, there are three (3) major categories of individuals who are required to <br />be served based on their functional disability upon interacting with conditions of the service <br />and the surrounding environment: <br />1) Persons who are unable to board, ride, or disembark from accessible fixed -route <br />vehicles as a result of their disability. This includes persons with mental or visual <br />disabilities who cannot navigate the transit system. <br />2) Persons who could use accessible fixed -route services, but such services are being <br />operated using vehicles that are not fully accessible. This includes persons who <br />require a lift or ramp to board a bus. Because OPT uses 100% accessible vehicles <br />for its general public and specialized services, this category of persons is <br />inapplicable. <br />
