Approved 4/16/14 <br />Bret Martin: (Continued presentation). <br />Alex Castro: The Advisory Board on Aging has provided recommendations on bus service expansion routes in a <br />written letter to the BOCC. <br />Bret Martin: (Continued presentation). <br />Abigaile Pittman: I need to know if you support these goals and address the order because the order reflects priority. <br />Amy Cole: I am in support of all the goals because they have come directly from the evidence of the surveys, <br />indicating what we are in need of. As far the order of the goals, I would like to know percentage -wise which would <br />serve the most people and then order these according to the greatest population being served. <br />Ted Triebel: I am on the same track as Amy. I would suggest we swap number one and two. The number one <br />priority, when you look at page 17, this is where most of the people are being affected. We didn't mention <br />environmental concerns. This is the greatest volume of people and that is why I would be in favor of Amy's objective. <br />Motion made by Ted Triebel that the OUTBoard supports the four goals with prioritization being goal #2 and then #1, <br />then the remainder in the order they are presented. Sam Lasris seconded. <br />Vote: 9:1 (Gary Saunders) (Gary Saunders did not provide a reason for his vote in opposition.) <br />Amy Cole: I am suggesting that we serve the majority of the population that needs to be served first and working our <br />way down the list. <br />Abigaile Pittman: That comes in the next vote. <br />Jeff Charles: Attachments 3, 4 and 5. <br />Abigaile Pittman: Amy's concern is that Later Senior Routes are being implemented too late. <br />Amy Cole: I thought it should be higher on the list. <br />Alex Castro: That service is not scheduled to come on until July, 2016 and the Department on Aging feels that it <br />should be brought into service much sooner. <br />Abigaile Pittman: We are entering into the county's budget discussion for the next fiscal year. There might also be a <br />discussion of additional funds to go toward something else but that is unknown at this time. <br />Bret Martin: Going through the budget process, the only thing changing is to get rid of $3 co pay for medical <br />appointments and to stop collecting fares on the 420 route. <br />Jeff Charles: There is not a clear swap. For the first year, it is basically $56,000 so where will you get the funds to <br />swap it out to have it occur in 2016 instead of 2017? <br />Bret Martin: What would naturally come out would be northern zone routes that could be implemented later. The US <br />70 route could possibly be pushed back because it will be sensitive to when Triangle Transit begins service. <br />Alex Castro: The 420 route is a midday substitution by OPT of what TTA runs rush hour morning and evening. TTA <br />charges for that route and are we saying we want OPT to run the same route but because they are doing it midday <br />we are not going to charge? I don't see the trade -off. <br />Bret Martin: Triangle Transit is trying to focus on employment commuters. OPT service is primarily local. <br />
