TTA's FY 1993 Achievements • Vanpool Growth from 21 to 29 Vans The vanpool program leased twelve vans during the fiscal year resulting in a net growth of eight vans in operation. Since assuming the vanpool program from the Triangle J Council of Governments in 1991, the program has grown by seventy percent. • Employer Transit Pass Contributions Wake County, First Union Mortgage and the State of North Carolina joined the City of Raleigh in providing employee transit pass contributions. This employee benefit provides an incentive for employees to rideshare rather than to drive to work alone. • Assumed Management of WCTS At the request of Wake County, in August 1992, the TTA assumed the operational management of the Wake Coordinated Transportation Service. In partnership with Wake County, the TTA provides employees, vehicle insurance and day to day management. The County provides vehicle maintenance, fuel, purchasing and accounting. During the year, WCTS service was improved due to scheduled vehicle maintenance, better driver training and day to day supervision. • Fixed Guideway Study and Regional Travel Model Peer Review In August 1992, the TTA, with assistance from the Institute for Transportation Research and Education and the NCDOT, convened two panels of national experts in transportation planning and travel forecasting. The panels assisted the TTA in developing the scope of services for the Triangle Fixed Guideway Study and reviewing the work plan for the regional transportation model. • Regional Land Use and Transportation Conference In September 1992, the TTA convened "Growing Smarter" a two day community workshop. More than 350 workshop participants explored the future of the Triangle Region and how land use and transportation decisions will form our region. 3
