ly <br />Triangle County Board Chairs Meeting <br />February 8, 2005, 12 noon-2:00 p.m.. <br />Triangle J Council of Governments Conference Room <br />Meeting Sumrnary <br />Attendance: Moses Carey, Ellen Reckhow, Joe Bryan, David Cooke, Mike Ruffin, John Link, Miriam <br />Perry, Charles Glover, Sanford Crass, John Hodges-Copple. <br />Ellen Reckhow chaired the meeting and welcomed the participants. <br />Regionalization of Transportation Services <br />Sanford Cross reviewed the milestones and current status of the urban bus system consolidation project <br />involving the Triangle Transit Authority and the bus systems in Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh <br />and at the universities. Raleigh, Durham and TTA are proceeding with consolidation planning; <br />decisions by Raleigh and Durham aze anticipated shortly. Cary is reconsidering its demand-responsive <br />system and may consider its relationship to other systems later. Chapel Hill will maintain its fare-free <br />system independently at this time, but has been monitoring the discussions. The NCSU Wolfline <br />system also continues to monitor the discussions. The Duke system has decided to retain its <br />independent status. Mr. Cross noted that the time frame for' the urban system consolidation study <br />precluded consideration of the county-based human service agency-oriented systems, but that interest <br />has been expressed throughout the process in eventually looking at opportunities to better coordinate <br />among the county systems and between the county systems and the urban systems, especially with the <br />Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for the urban, fixed-route systems. <br />Miriam Perry, Director of the Public Transportation Division (PTD) of NCDOT and Chazles Glover, <br />Assistant Director for Community Transportation, discussed NCDOT's interests in regionalization of <br />Community Transportation Systems, the countywide, human service agency-oriented systems that are <br />sepazate from the urban systems. Summary handouts on the status of community transportation <br />systems, including management, operating and financial characteristics, were distributed and aze <br />available from TJCOG. Each system has a transportation system plan; Durham's was last updated in <br />2002, Orange County Public Transportation's (OCPT) in Fa112004 and Wake's is currently being <br />updated. <br />Ms. Perry noted that Regional Community Transportation Systems (CTS), defined as systems serving <br />more than one county and that provide both general public and human service agency contract service, <br />tend to have greater efficiencies, as measured by cost per passenger. NCDOT PTD currently allocates <br />$528,000 annually to the three Triangle systems ($128,000 to Durham, $98,000 to Orange and <br />$302,000 to Wake) based on a formula. Ms. Perry noted that with sepazate systems, unused funds <br />from any system revert to the state, but that a regional system can result in the funds staying within the <br />region.. <br />Ms. Reckhow asked if providing more general public service, as in Orange County, leads to better cost <br />efficiencies. Ms. Perry responded that both increasing general public service and close coordination <br />with urban fixed-route systems can improve cost-efficiency. <br />
