(Discretionary Funds)
For:
Orange County Public Transportation
Prepared By: Al Terry
Mr. Jerry Passmore
Director
Mr. Mike Eyster
Transportation Advisory Board's Chairperson
Date: February 27, 2002
List names of counties for which transportation services are provided:
Serve Orange County residents to Orange, Durham, Chatham, Alamance and Person
Counties.
Provide a brief description of current RGP services provided in service area:
Orange Public Transportation (OPT), managed by the Orange County Department on
Aging, serves human service agencies' clients whose ridership is paid by the 14 local
sponsoring agencies .and special populations such as the elderly, disabled or Medicaid
clients who are supported with NC Department of Transportation, Home and Community
Care Block Grant, or state public assistance funds. The majority of the OPT service
consists of public routes, fixed routes, fixed-deviated routes. Utilizing lift-equipped vans
and minibuses, minivans and cars or private vendors, the OPT program continues to
expand coordination of its demand-response medical and public routes.
The geographic service area is rural Orange County, outside the Chapel Hill Transit
service area. OPT transportation service is provided each weekday, with weekend or
evening trips for special leases or life-sustaining medical services.
The development of a regional commuter service between Hillsborough and Durham, NC
became operational in 2001.. The regional service provider (Triangle Transit Authority)
provides commuter service Monday through Friday from Hillsborough to Duke Medical
Center. OPT provides "feeder" routes into Hillsborough where riders can connect with
Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) routes.
OPT had provided general public rides on a seat available basis for several years.
However, in FY 1993-94 OPT program staff and the Human Services Transportation
Board made a commitment to better serve the public by (1) changing the program's name
from Coordinated Agency transportation to Coordinated Area Transportation, and finally
to its current Orange Public Transportation title, (2) designating existing bus routes to be
promoted as .public routes. In October, 1993 OPT established its first general public
deviated fixed route from Prospect Hill Health Center just north of the Orange/Person
County line into .Chapel Hi1UCarrboro. Additionally, the Orange Enterprises routes have
been opened to the general_public on aseat-available basis for the eaxly morning and late
afternoon transportation between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Finally, the five routes
operated to bring seniors to the Senior Centers and nutrition sites in Chapel
HilUCarrboro, Hillsborough, Efland, and Cedar Grove have as available seats for public
passengers.
All routes with public seating operate on a deviated fixed route schedule. With advance
notice, the OPT dispatcher can approve and arrange for apick-up with route deviations
up to 1/4 mile for disabled or subscription riders. Also, public riders can be picked up at
identified stops along the route with no advance notice.
The approved fare structure for public riders on OPT vehicles is as follows:
In Town $ .50
Between Towns $1.00
Youth 6 to 17 %z fare
Children under 6 ride free when accompanied by adultOutline of Required Information
I. Service Design
A. Area Served
B. Type of Service
II. Vehicle Needs
Current vehicle fleet will support the established and enhanced routes. OPT
manages the fleet maintenance through County motor pool, therefore, no
additional dollars are needed for maintaining the fleet. All OPT vehicles are
equipped with hydraulic lifts for handicap riders. The Inter-city Hillsborough
route vehicle will be a light transit vehicle (20 passenger) with lift equipment.
The Hillsborough to Durham route vehicle will be a conversion van with
capability of two wheelchairs and passenger seating. The Hillsborough to Chapel
Hill route vehicle will be a light transit vehicle (20 passenger) with lift equipment.
The routes will require bus stop signs at all locations. By routes the following
signs will be purchased: Hillsborough to Durham, 8 signs; Hillsborough to
Chapel Hill, 11 signs; Hillsborough Inter-city 15 signs.
III. Financial Plan
Additional funds to operate the three developed routes would be supported
through discretionary RGP funds with a 10% local match. Cost sharing and fare
collection would provide additional funds. * See attached" Operating Budget sheet.
Additional administrative support will be needed to schedule drivers, schedule
vehicle maintenance, verify revenues, supervise routes, and verify driver's
manifest. The OPT supervisor will be involved in all aspects of the operations,
the .financial manager will revue financial issues, the OPT scheduler will provide
driver's schedules and the OPT dispatcher will be involved with day to day route
deviations.
IV. Marketing plan
Orange Public Transportation (OPT) in collaboration with Triangle Transit Authority
(TTA) planned the following steps to promote regional transit service in Orange County.
• The initial steps to market the Hillsborough to Duke commuter route, established in
August, 2001 included Town of Hillsborough town meeting, development of TTA
route brochure, and news articles in News of Orange and Chapel Hill News.
• Bus stop signs located at all pick-up points
Marketing plans for Triangle Transit Authority and Orange Public Transportation to
include the established TTA Hillsborough to Duke route and the proposed OPT mid-day
Hillsborough to Duke route are as follows.
• Produce a joint TTA/OPT route brochure of the proposed route. This brochure will
depict the route, pick-up hours and points of TTA and OPT. OPT will operate the
route exactly as TTA during mid-day times. Along with normal TTA/OPT brochure
distribution, all OPT drivers will distribute on individual routes.
• Schedule meeting with Hillsborough town meeting (as public hearing) to publicize
the proposed route.
• Prepare news articles in the Durham Herald, News of Orange and Chapel Hill News
papers. The articles would indicate the hours of operation for both transit companies,
the fare, and the configuration of the route.
• OPT management will schedule meetings with local agencies to increase awareness
of the proposed route.
• Install bus stop signs that indicate pick-up points and times of TTA/OPT.
Marketing plans for the Chapel Hill to Hillsborough (Orange Express route) will include
the following.
• Produce a joint brochure with TTA/OPT to depict the route and transfer points from
one transit system to the other. This brochure would indicate how a rider could
transfer from OPT and utilize TTA routes to destinations such as Durham, Raleigh,
RDU and RTP.
• Prepare news articles that.indicate the joint efforts of both transit systems to allow
mass transportation at affordable fares.
• Install bus stop signs that indicate transfer points of TTA/OPT.
Marketing plans for the Northern Human Services Center park and ride lot will include
the following steps.
Discussions are being conducted with TTA/OPT to determine the highest impact of a
marketing program. As the transit systems progress with the plans, further marketing
techniques will be published.
OPT will provide "feeder" service from this park and ride lot to the existing TTA
Hillsborough route.
V. Service Monitoring and Evaluation -
Tracking of ridership through CTS program and driver's manifests. Currently,
OPT distributes customer service questionnaires through mailings and onboard
vehicles. Periodic meetings scheduled with Town of Hillsborough government,
local transit systems and regional transit systems to discuss proposed routes.

Additional Hillsborough to Chapel Hill/Carrboro routes
There is a need to provide hourly transit service between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill.
This service will provide social, educational. Medical and employment transportation
between the three cities. Currently, Hillsborough and northern Orange county residents
do not have transit solutions if they wish to visit Chapel Hi1UCarrboro for the above
mentioned reasons. Also, current medical routes to these areas could be incorporated into
the public route, which would reduce single or minimal passenger transports.
The eight additional routes to Chapel Hill/Carrboro would be 6:00, 7:00, 11:00,1:00,
4:00, 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 Monday through Friday. Route originates in Hillsborough with
stops at Whitted Building, Whitted Forest, North Hills Shopping Center, Hillsborough
Visitor Center, Wal-Mart, Coachwood/Gateway Apartments. Stops designed for Chapel
Hill North Shopping Center, University Mall, Franklin Street/Columbia Street, UNC
Medical Hospital, Carrboro Century Center.
Established Hillsborough Inter-City route
Currently there are no established routes connecting Hillsborough city limits residents
with mass transit options. This route would be a feeder route to other OPT routes and
link the Hillsborough community through general public transportation. Triangle Transit
Authority (TTA) is the regional transit service that provides a commuter route from
Hillsborough to Duke Medical Center. By establishing this route OPT would act as .a
feeder service to TTA end increase both systems ridership. •
Orange Public Transportation would provide this service Monday through Friday 7:00
am to 5:30 pm. There will be seven trips through city limits per day. The stops would
include Whitted Building, Village Dinner, Hillsborough Business Center, Wal-Mart,
Coachwood/Gateway Apartments, Food Lion, Employment Security Commission,
SportsPlex, Hillsborough Visitor Center, North Hills Shopping Center, Abundant Life
Church, Chavis and Parker Funeral Home, Lloyd's Quick Stop, Hester/Whitted/Day,
Whitted Forest.
Additional rnid-day Hillsboroueh.to Duke Medical Center Transportation service
Currently TTA is providing commuter transportation from Hillsborough to Duke during
the early morning and.late afternoon hours. Orange Public Transportation will enhance
this service by providing mid-day transportation service of this same route, which would
change the complexity of a commuter route to a public route. This addition to TTA's
route would benefit riders with social, educational, employment and medical needs. The
addition would require OPT to establish three trips from Hillsborough to Duke during the
middle of each day,. Monday through Friday
These services would serve as "feeder" routes, deviated fixed routes,
employment/commuter routes, and serve as support to demand responsive routes. All
established routes will incorporate existing routes to enhance the service levels of all
OPT routes. Continuous communication with regional and local transit systems will
ensure efficiency and effectiveness of routes.

Attachment A.
Elderly and Disabled Transportation Assistance Pro~ram__ E( DTAP
Orange Public Transportation (OPT) is the designated lead agency for public and human
services agency transportation in rural Orange County and the recipient of the EDTAP
allocation of $54,243.00 with no local match required. OPT will continue to use its
allocation to provide medical transportation for the sixty-plus and disabled residents of
Orange County. Additionally, OPT will offer one shopping/personal business round trip
per week to those two population groups who live outside the Chapel Hill Transit service
area and do not have access to the Orange Express public shuttle. To the extent possible,
trips will be grouped by geographic area per weekday and the destination will be the
closest possible provider. The "Orange Voucher Program" an effort funded by EDTAP
in 2000-2001 will continue to offer eligible disabled persons under age 60 up to
$100/month to pay for travel arrangements to meet the individuals' needs and to the
destination(s) of their choice. This service is provided Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m.
All EDTAP service recipients are asked to contribute $3.00 per one-way trip. This fee is
waived for any individual whose family income is at or below 125°Io of the poverty level
as determined by the Department of Health and Human Services. Contributions are
utilized to fund additional trips.
Persons sixty years and older can be certified for services by completing a Client
Registration Form which is kept on file at the OPT administrative office in Hillsborough,
N.C. Persons under the age of sixty seeking EDTAP service must have a certification
completed and authorized by his/her physician. All EDTAP recipients must be re-
certified annually.
