Attachment 2a-2 47 Update on Investments from the Orange County Transit Plan Chapel Hill Transit has used funds from the Orange County Transit Plan (OCTP) since 2013 to implement new services and purchase replacement buses. The FY19 budget includes $2.1M for service and $1.5M for buses in OCTP funds —which now exceeds the funding provided by the State. The chart below summarizes the services that have been implemented and represents around 10,585 new annual hours of service (note —the Partners Committee has also "banked" 1,067 hours to help fund service improvements identified in the Short Range Transit Plan). We have also purchased eight (8) new fixed route buses with OCTP funds. In addition to these funds, the OCTP is also funding the current work on the North South BRT project and providing funds for bus stop upgrades. �.... d ML Improvement Implemented Improved service on Hillsborough Street during peak (AM) 2014 ® Extend Evening Trips Year Round* 2013 _ ® Extend Evening Trips Year Round* 2013 _ ® Improve peak hour capacity issues 2017 Extend Evening Trips Year Round* 2013 Extend 7:17am trip to begin in Carrboro 2014 _ Add Trips 7:38pm (Old Fayetteville) 8:45pm (Colony Woods)* 2013 _ ® Additional trips to route with routing improvement* 2016 _ Extend Evening Trips Year Round* 2013 _ Improve peak hour capacity issues (AM and PM) 2014 _ Improve mid-day service (10am - 2pm) 2014 _ Extend Evening Service to Southern Village* 2017 _ Additional Saturday Service* 2013 _ Additional Saturday Service* 2013 Add Trip 9:10am (Estes Park)* 2013 Added Saturday Service* 2017 _ Extend service to 6:OOpm on all routes (D, FG)* 2014 _ Peak PM hour expansion 2018 _ Peak PM hour expansion 2018 _ All Routes 8:OOam to 7:OOpm* 2018 Increased Cost of Existing Services 2013-2018 *Includes fixed route and demand response service (EZ Rider) 2013- Hours of new service implement with Orange County Transit 2018 Plan 10,585
