OPT had provided general public rides on a seat available basis for several years. <br /> However, in FY 1993-94 OPT program staff and the Human Services Transportation <br /> Board made a commitment to better serve the public by (1) changing the program's name <br /> from Coordinated Agency Transportation to Coordinated Area Transportation, and finally <br /> to its current Orange Public Transportation title, (2)designating existing bus routes to be <br /> promoted as public routes. In October, 1993 OPT established its first general public <br /> deviated fixed route from Prospect Hill Health Center just north of the Orange/Person <br /> County line into Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Additionally, the Orange Enterprises routes have <br /> been opened to the general public on a seat-available basis for the early morning and late <br /> afternoon transportation between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Finally, the five routes <br /> operated to bring seniors to the Senior Centers and nutrition sites in Chapel <br /> Hill/Carrboro,Hillsborough, Efland, and Cedar Grove have as available seats for public <br /> passengers. The FY 02/03 allocation of$31,189.00 will support these routes. <br /> All routes with public seating operate on a deviated fixed route schedule. With advance <br /> notice, the OPT dispatcher can approve and arrange for a pick-up with route deviations <br /> made up to '/4 mile for disabled or subscription riders. Also, public riders can be picked <br /> up at identified stops along the route with no advance notice. <br /> The approved fare structure for public riders on OPT vehicles is as follows: <br /> In Town $ .50 <br /> Between Towns $1.00 <br /> Youth 6 to 17 '/fare <br /> Children under 6 ride free when accompanied by adult <br /> Fn:H:/bocc/agendas-yr2002/ab020319A-ROAP attachment2 <br /> 3 <br />
