<br /> OPT Short Range Transit Plan <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | 5-7 <br /> <br /> <br />Orange-Alamance Connector <br />The Orange-Alamance Connector is a fixed-route service operating along US-70 between Mebane, <br />Efland, and Hillsborough. The existing Orange-Alamance Connector route currently operates <br />every 60 minutes between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM Monday-Friday and provides westbound <br />service on US-70 and eastbound service on I-40. Additional information about alignment <br />modifications proposed for the existing Orange-Alamance Connector can be found in the change <br />sheets in Appendix B. <br />This route would be improved to provide bi-directional service on US-70 operating every 60 <br />minutes from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Expanding the hours of service on <br />this route will help coordinate with recommended changes to GoTriangle Route ODX, which <br />proposes to realign service to use I-85 and I-40 instead of US-70. This route would provide access <br />to Alamance County residents via the Mebane Cone Health Park-and-Ride, provide all-day service <br />to Efland, and would have a total estimated annual cost of $189,000. <br />Figure 5-5 Orange-Alamance Connector <br />
