113 <br /> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION <br /> I. giaTaThily1U26n <br /> Public transportation service in Orange County is <br /> provided by Chapel Hill Transit and the County Department on <br /> Aging. <br /> II. QUANTITATIVE DATA <br /> Regularly scheduled and demand responsive public trans- <br /> portation service provided by Chapel Hill Transit is not <br /> available in the Rural Buffer area. <br /> The transportation service provided by the Department on <br /> Aging, Coordinated Area Transportations is provided county- <br /> wide. The service is available to clients of several local <br /> social services such as OPC Mental Health Center. <br /> III. IMPACT/IMPILATIONS <br /> The low density development allowed in the rural buffer <br /> will make the provision of public transportation service in <br /> the rural buffer very unlikely. As a rule, the passenger and <br /> revenue producing capacity of low density development is <br /> insufficient to justify provision of public transportation <br /> service. Rideshare service and park and ride facilities may <br /> be considered at some point in the future. <br /> IV. REFERE1 S <br /> 1. Chapel Hill Transit <br /> 2. Orange County Department on Aging <br /> 3. North Carolina Department of Transportation. <br />
