MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Darlene Weaver, Transportation Planning Manger
DATE: November 14, 2023
SUBJECT: Transit Dashboard Update
This memorandum is an update to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on
Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) Transit Dashboard.
Spring 2023, Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) contracted with WSP to
create a transit tracking dashboard similar to Wake County Transit Performance Tracker
(link). These public resources will be published through the OCTS main website to provide
the general public a constant update on all aspects of the County's public transit services.
The transit dashboard has two functions: Transit Map and Performance Data. Each
provide different information regarding the County's transit services. The Transit Map
indicates the fixed routes, demand response and mobility-on-demand, especially where
transit vehicles are so customers know when one is approaching. People can zoom into
the map and get more information such as bus number and stop details.
The Performance data illustrates the transit services in six tables. Customers can click
the pull down menu on the top left and see the data by service type. Fixed route data is
broken down by individual routes while demand response and mobility-on-demand are
consolidated by service. Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) reviewed this
important recourse and it is ready to go live.
Orange County Transportation Services will continue making improvements on the
dashboard. Staff is currently working with WSP in drafting the Transportation Multimodal
Plan and enhancing our data presentation.
