<br /> OPT Short Range Transit Plan <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | A-2 <br /> <br /> <br />PHASE I OUTREACH <br />OPT Users – Are there any areas, currently not served by the bus, where you would like to see service <br />added? <br />I train people to ride buses. Between the East Gate CH area and Timberlyne Weaver Dairy Rd area. Erwin Rd. Also <br />more bus service in Weaver Dairy Area. <br />Should have bus shuttle from CH-C to Hillsborough and vice versa for BOCC meetings; also, transit to airport and <br />Amtrak in Raleigh <br />Briarcliff across Fordham Blvd, also along Willow Dr., as 10 years ago. Even just a few times a day would help, <br />reduce EZRider needs. The senior shuttle helps, but it doesn't drop off downtown on Franklin. Also even a shuttle <br />say at 10:00am on SUN at Harris Teeter, that returned back around 3pm, from downtown would be great. Or senior <br />shuttle on Saturday to Seymour, the usual route. I know it might be expensive, thanks for continuing it. <br />Stop closer to Burlington vs mebane <br />I would like to see the OPT connect more often with the CH 420 route. Would like to see the OPT expand its <br />service hours so the 2 bus systems can work together. <br />More routes in Hillsborough <br />For Hillsborough, you should consider reaching more area maybe in conunction with OPT <br />Just please make sure that the afternoon 420 stops at mason farm. I have missed so many stops there because <br />driver says its not a stop and I have to wait on next bus. My knees are bad and I cant run to the next stop on <br />manning. <br />We need more service in northern orange <br />bus drivers that know how to drive and not always slamming on brakes. Also be on time and not early or late to bus <br />stops <br />Hillsborough on the weekend <br />Any place NCDOT has meetings should be accessible by transit. Garner should be off the list and their Birch Ridge <br />Drive offices in Raleigh are very difficult to reach <br />Southwest Cary and Apex <br />I would suggest having the Orange Co circulars go by both Orange High School and Cedar Ridge High School. Not <br />all parents can afford cars for their teenagers and if the transit serviced the high schools it might help with students <br />going to work or the library <br />Would like to see a way to connect to other transportation hubs such as the Amtrak station in Raleigh, and more <br />direct and later/earlier service to the airport. <br />Better connections to Seymour Center <br />NEW HOPE COMMONS -- BOTH SIDES ---- Need added BUS service and/or Transfer Connection to Walmart & <br />stores to/from Chapel Hill <br />More frequent pick-ups to/from park and ride lots in Hillsborough <br />Northern Orange County <br />
