<br /> OPT Short Range Transit Plan <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | A-8 <br /> <br /> <br />PHASE II OUTREACH <br />Help us identify how we might transform our system in the future. Pick the top five improvements you’d like <br />us to focus on. (Comments) <br />The Hillsborough Circulator is rushed. The Orange-Chapel Hill Midday Connector should have a sign at Sportsplex. <br />The Orange-Alamance Connector needs more riders. <br />Add bike racks on all buses. <br />I want more hours on the Hillsborough Circulator. <br />I want more hours on the Hillsborough Connector. <br />Stop at BK, in front of Home Depot! Thank you! <br />Add Bentley Wood stop to replace the Timbers stop. <br />A bus from Hillsborough to Chapel Hill would more than double the employment and entertainment opportunities for <br />residents. Each of the other connectors would increase options significantly. But my highest priorities aren't included <br />on the list: night and weekend service between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill, and increased bus frequency between <br />Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. Hillsborough's a lovely town but it doesn't offer any entertainment for kids and teens <br />who can't drive, and Chapel Hill is inaccessible during the hours they have free, likewise employment options are <br />severely curtailed if one can only work narrow weekday hours. In the absence of affordable housing in Chapel Hill <br />increased bus service would help keep more young and old people independent. <br />I keep tooting your horn in hopes that Chapel Hill Transit will get a wiff of what your cooking. Chapel Hill transit feels <br />that those of us without vehicle's don't need to go to church on Sunday's.; I have been singing the praises of OPT <br />for a while now. It's not so much that I need the transportation, I do. But I really enjoy the ride. You have great <br />accommodating staff. Wish you ran on the weekends. <br />Please consider making connections between the circulator and the 420 and ODX route. This would mean running <br />the circulator earlier and later to make connections with the 420 and ODX. <br />The zone and community van programs help make transit more accessible while allowing focus on efficient routes. <br />I would like to see the improved transportation timing so that if a commuter missed the Go Triangle/PART bus in <br />Mebane, they could catch the O-A connector and Hillsborouh Circulator to get to the Go Triangle stop at DTCC <br />Hillsborough Campus.
