Appendix D: Public Engagement OR 4NRG ETROUNTNN I like the focus on helping people walk to transit stops and protecting I was hoping that the plan would address the future train station in them while waiting for their transit vehicles. I also like the focus on Hillsborough. I have a vision disability,and so I use the part bus to travel increasing the number of vehicles and frequency of buses. back and forth between Chapel Hill and Greensboro,where I have North Orange County isn't being helped-an area that really needs family.The PART bus does not run on Saturdays and Sundays,and it is additional transportation to access services,typically located in southern rather inconvenient to take the train to Durham,and then transfer to CH part of Orange Co via bus. I am waiting for the train station to come in and it will be very important for the area to plan for that going forward. I live in Hillsborough and currently drive. But I am interested about public I would use the 420/Circulator to go to Hillsborough, but the ridership transit. Me and my wife are in our 70's. pattern is a little confusing. Simplifying the relationship between the 420 While I like the expanded hours of service on the Hillsborough Circulator and the Circulator will be helpful! and two routes,it's not clear to me about having to transfer onto the it won't help me drive less. It would be nice for the circular to run on second route as well as wait time. weekends. "free"transportation really means that someone else pays. From 2X Hboro circulator, new Mebane circulator and eliminating under- experience in other jurisdictions,any free transport(even for a select utilized routes group)is never enough.

It doesn't make sense to offer the Orange-Chapel Hill Connector when Like the addition of workability to the Transportation. Does that mean GoTriangle serves the same route.You should give funds to GoTriangle sidewalk improvements? to operate the 420 bus,and use the savings the extend the hours to 9 Need better weekend services&higher frequencies between Chapel Hill pm(which would make the service far more valuable for people traveling &Hillsborough during the week between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough for events) Nothing seems to be expanding to the area where I live Appreciate increased options w/ Hillsborough circulator split Doesn't effectively address access for elderly in rural areas. Please, please make it so people can call for trips on MOD. Don't have a More access to MOD services when I can no longer drive a personal smartphone or computer access and I can't use MOD. vehicle No service between Chatham county line and carrboro We live at Gatemoore on Rhonda Rd in South Hillsborough. Hopefully I like increasing walking access to transit. the new stop shown at Cheshire Dr as close as possible to Oakdale Dr+ improved frequency will finally allow us to get on the bus to go to Wallmart of the Sportsplex-45 min is still a lot though.
