MPO Board 10/9/2019 Item 8 <br /> Ref: 38587.01 <br /> October 1, 2019 <br /> Page 10 <br /> above suggest that many of these employees actually use 1-40, and that some use NC 87. Between 750 and 1450 <br /> employee residences are estimated to fall within the travelshed depicted in Figure 1, with most the uncertainty <br /> concentrated in the easternmost end of the travelshed. The potential market for a UNC-oriented transit service <br /> along the NC 54 west corridor falls somewhere in this range. <br /> Park-and-ride lots serving UNC Chapel Hill have long helped reduce demand for on-campus parking, as well as <br /> providing an alternative to reduce personal vehicle use.To help support their fare-free transit system, Chapel Hill <br /> Transit began charging for the use of their park-and-ride lots in 2013. Chapel Hill Transit Park-and-Ride Permits are <br /> available at a daily rate of$2, a monthly rate of$21, or an annual rate of$250. Chapel Hill Transit operates four <br /> park-and-ride locations serving commuters coming from the western portion of the region to campus.Table 1 <br /> (below) details the Chapel Hill Transit Park-and-Ride lots, which are also depicted in Figure 18. <br /> While parking demand has fallen for the westernmost park-and-ride lots (Jones Ferry and Carrboro Plaza), demand <br /> has risen for the northern park-and-ride along NC 86 (Eubanks Road) and the southern park-and-ride lot along US <br /> 15-501 (Southern Village). While the percent of commuters within each respective corridor is similar, utilization is <br /> not. One key reason appears to be the enhanced service level provided by the NS route compared to those routes <br /> serving the Jones Ferry and Carrboro Plaza.The NS Route operates all day with headways as little as ten minutes <br /> during the peak.This level of service frees commuters from having to plan their journey around a bus schedule. <br /> Commuters have the flexibility to arrive at a park-and-ride at a time of their choosing, knowing the next bus will be <br /> coming shortly.This pattern suggests commuters coming from the west pass by the Carrboro Plaza and Jones Ferry <br /> Park-and-Ride lots in favor of the Southern Village Park-and-Ride (and to a lesser extent,the Eubanks Park-and-Ride) <br /> to take advantage of enhanced transit service. <br /> Table 1: Chapel Hill Transit Park and Ride (data from UNC Chapel Hill Development Plan—TIA Update) <br /> Park-and-Ride Routes Number of Fall 2013 Fall 2015 Fall 2017 %of Total <br /> Lot Served Spaces Utilization Utilization Utilization Commuters <br /> in Corridor <br /> Eubanks Road NS, CRX 400 185 188 216 12.1% <br /> (GoTriangle) <br /> Jones Ferry CM, CW and JFX 443 132 102 86 <br /> 11.4 <br /> Carrboro Plaza CPX and CW 145 52 30 24 <br /> Southern Village NS and V 400 272 260 325 11.7% <br /> Page 10 of 12 <br />
