3 <br /> Discretionary RGP Funds <br /> Service Description <br /> Additional Hillsborough to Chapel Hill/Carrboro routes: <br /> There is a need to provide hourly transit service between <br /> Hillsborough and Chapel Hill . This service will provide <br /> social, educational, medical and employment transportation <br /> between the three cities . Currently, Hillsborough and <br /> northern Orange county residents do not have transit <br /> solutions if they wish to visit Chapel Hill/Carrboro for <br /> the above mentioned reasons . Also, current medical routes <br /> to these areas could be incorporated into the public route <br /> which would reduce single or minimal passenger transports. <br /> The eight additional routes to Chapel Hill/Carrboro would be <br /> 6 : 00, 7 : 00, 11 : 00, 1 : 00, 4 : 00, 5 : 00, 5 :30, 6 :00 Monday through <br /> Friday.

This route <br /> would be a feeder route to other OPT routes and link the <br /> Hillsborough community through general public <br /> transportation. Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) is the <br /> regional transit service that provides a commuter route <br /> from Hillsborough to Duke Medical Center. By establishing <br /> this route OPT would act as a feeder service to TTA and <br /> increase both systems ridership. <br /> Orange Public Transportation would provide this service <br /> Monday through Friday 7 : 00 am to 5 :30 pm. There will be <br /> seven trips through city limits per day. The stops would <br /> include Whitted Building, Village Dinner, Hillsborough <br /> .
