Orange County Short Range Transit Plan, RFLOI No 367-005394 I Letter of Interest <br /> Orange County,NC/Orange County Public Transit <br /> GoDurham Microtransit Planning Study, Durham, NC (2020) <br /> Contact: Meg Scully,Planning Manager,919-485-7455,mscully@gotriangle.com <br /> In June 2019,the Durham City Council adopted the GoDurham Short Range Transit Plan(SRTP)developed by <br /> Nelson\Nygaard. The SRTP identified six potential on-demand zones on the periphery of the city where fixed- <br /> route ridership and residential density are low but where mobility needs of the community remain high. The <br /> purpose of the Microtransit Planning Study was to investigate service scenarios and provide recommendations <br /> for three of these zones. <br /> Nelson\Nygaard developed goals and objectives for the potential microtransit services. A market review of each <br /> zone identified key activity centers, existing fixed-route ridership, and populations with higher transit <br /> propensity. Service design concepts and delivery models were identified for each zone and evaluated for how <br /> well they met the client's goals and objectives. By identifying the tradeoffs between different operator models <br /> and geographic zones,we developed both a service implementation strategy and evaluation plan. Our approach <br /> helped the client think through near-term prioritization and the steps needed to scale up to a more robust <br /> microtransit service. <br /> ,��LIPAT70 <br /> 2. P3 Recent Similar Projects �Q� ryA�ti <br /> -s� <br /> Wake BRT: New Bern Avenue Design, Raleigh, NC (2020-2023) <br /> Reference: Mark Huffer,Project Director,HNT13,919-424-0409,mhuffer@hntb.com <br /> P3 is leading the public involvement and communications for the Wake Bus Rapid Transit(BRT): New Bern <br /> Avenue Design. This project aims to complete the design phase of the New Bern Avenue corridor of the Wake <br /> BRT system, which will connect downtown Raleigh with WakeMed and New Hope Road. P3 developed a <br /> comprehensive and data-driven public involvement and agency coordination plan,which included provisions for <br /> Environmental Justice(EJ)and Title IV compliance,and Limited English Prof iciency(LEP)outreach and provision <br /> of language services. <br /> P3 managed the development of two BRT systemwide virtual open houses which provided information to <br /> residents and stakeholders on all four BRT corridors. P3 coordinated efforts between multiple consultant teams <br /> and the city to create a cohesive and user-friendly virtual open house experience. These efforts included the <br /> development of narrated videos, project handouts,and graphics. While projects effortswere primarily virtual due <br /> to COVID-19,to increase accessibility,the P3 team conducted direct outreach to religious institutions along the <br /> corridor and developed a strategy for safe non-virtual resident polling. P3 developed stand-alone polling stations <br /> that asked residents to place a sticker to indicate their preference. These polling stations were placed at various <br /> high-traffic bus stations around the city to reach participants who may not have been reached otherwise by <br /> virtual methods. In the second virtual open house,the six polling stations along New Bern Avenue gathered over <br /> 330 responses from participants using the GoRaleigh bus system. <br /> CHAPTER 3 - TEAM EXPERIENCE <br /> Nelson\Nygaard Key Staff <br /> Full resumes for each team member, including educational background and professional experience, can be <br /> found in Appendix A.
