Particular attention will be directed towards documenting cooperative fare/pre-paid pass arrangements; specialized serrvices; vehicles designed for elderly/handicapped services, etc.; and the willingness and attitudes of transportation officials to expand the cur' rent level of coordination. Subtask 3.2—Inventory Intercity and Other Local Bus Carriers. All intercity bus Carriers operating from or through Orange County will be identified through North Carolina Utility Commission records, interviews conducted at local union terminals, and telephone interviews with managers of the respective regional carriers. For each carrier identified, the Consultant will document routes and schedules, potential interline connec- tions, and representative fares (both one-way and round-trip) to selected destinations. If local bus commuter carriers are identified, the Consultant will, through either personal or telephone interviews, ascertain the same basic inventory- . information despite the fact that such information is not usually consider- ed in the publiC domain. An emphasis for all carriers will be, however, to determine if these carriers would be interested in contract services provi- sion or other similar cooperative agreements. CGA has been involved in several situations, most recently in Killian, South Carolina, where we have obtained private sector interest in service that is operated directly between two Points—service, for example, that might be similar to a Hillsborough-Chapel Hill run. Subtask 3.3—Inventory Taxicab Companies. The Consultant will review taxicab ordinances and annual license registrations in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough in order to compile an inventory of available taxicab ser- vices. This information will be checked against a master taxicab inventory maintained by the North. Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles on file at CGA offices. Special cooperative arrangements, such as the contract services provided in Chapel Hill, will be documented. Subtask 3.11—Inventory Human Service Agencies. Using the 1982 Human Ser- vice Client Transportation Survey as a starting point, the Consultant will update the inventory of human service agencies engaged in client transpor- tation through the administration of our own inventory survey. CGA has conducted numerous transportation development plans and members of the proposed project team have conducted plans in accordance with the NCDOT guidebook in 14 North Carolina counties, including 11 counties in the last year alone. Since the firm's original conduct of the Evaluation of Elderly and Handicapped Transportation Services for the Region IV offices of UMTA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 1977/78, the firm has continually refined and improved its human service, agency survey 2-4
