Except for <br /> the subsidy per trip, OPT's statistics as compared to its peer group are quite good. The <br /> subsidy per trip measure may reflect the fact that many of the peers have significant levels <br /> of contract income which reduces the subsidy per trip. OPT's superior ratings for cost per <br /> trip, trips per hour and non-contract trips per non-urban population likely result in part <br /> from the fixed-route services that are more productive, whereas many of the peers have <br /> limited amounts of fixed-route service. <br /> Table 3-3: OPT Peer Performance Benchmarking <br /> Measure Acceptable Median Superior OPT Value OPT Ranking <br /> Subsidy per Trip 10.99 7.18 3.36 7.51 Slightly below Median <br /> Cost per Trip 23.66 18.09 12.53 12.85 Superior <br /> Trips per Hour 0.73 1.95 3.17 3.89 Superior <br /> Non-Contract Trips per Non-Urban <br /> Population 0.26 0.6 0.94 0.93 Superior <br /> Source:NCDOT FY 2014 Orange County OpStats Report;Community Transportation Peer Group Summary for Peer Group 2. <br /> Peer Group 2:Alamance,Cabarrus,Cumberland,Davidson,Gaston,Iredell,Lee,Onslow,Orange,Pitt,Rowan,Union,Wayne,and <br /> Wilson Counties <br /> NCDOT Orange County 39 �� <br /> Transit Assessment Study <br />
