Private Sector Participation <br /> Chapel Hill Transit currently contracts with the private <br /> sector for the provision of shared ride taxi service <br /> throughout the Chapel Hill Transit Service area. This <br /> arrangement is expected to continue in the coming <br /> service year. <br /> Chapel Hill Transit provided an opportunity for the <br /> private sector to submit proposals to operate portions <br /> of service expansions and additions included in the <br /> 1988-89 service schedule. After review of the proposals <br /> submitted, it was determined that the new and expanded <br /> service would be most efficiently provided by Chapel <br /> Hill Transit. The review of these proposals included <br /> evaluation of the cost of the proposed service, <br /> assessment of the contractors, ability to met specific <br /> critera regarding equipment and maintenance and ability <br /> of the contractor to provide a quality of service <br /> comparable with existing service. <br /> As Chapel Hill Transit considers any modifications of <br /> existing routes or additional transit service for the <br /> 1989-90 service period, the ability of the private <br /> sector to provide all or a portion of the proposed <br /> service will be evaluated. <br /> During the 1988-89 service period Chapel Hill Transit <br /> received no formal complaints from the private sector. <br />
