Cabarrus County Transit System <br />Final Report - September 2015 <br />made it impractical. CCTS coordinated with Charlotte Area Transit System CATS but <br />found it more effective to drive directly to Mecklenburg themselves. No effort has been <br />made to facilitate this coordinated transportation since it has fallen by the wayside; no <br />CCTS coordinated trips have been attempted in the last two years. The pending Medicaid <br />brokerage proceedings in the NC State Legislature will certainly need to be monitored. <br />Linkage with Urban Transit Providers <br />There are also employment and education connectivity constraints to consider as well. <br />Countless services and opportunities could be opened up when Charlotte Light Rail (LYNX) <br />opens the UNCC Blue Line Station; the associated all day feeder connections (Route 110 <br />and Route 80) would absolutely be a game- changer for many of the transit service gaps in <br />Cabarrus County. Likewise, making some connection to the high intensity transit corridor <br />that runs down Independence Boulevard, into Charlotte from the east, would definitely <br />help the southern -most portion of the County. In both cases the out -of- county trips policy <br />would have to be amended to allow CCTS to play a role in making these connections. The <br />current lack of cooperation with adjacent community transit systems is a major inefficiency <br />that needs to be corrected. <br />There is a struggle to determine if retaining the ADA contract will be a burden or a benefit <br />to COTS. <br />7.3 TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS <br />CCTS was awarded a grant to purchase computer tablets to manage drivers scheduling <br />throughout the day. The newly acquired Route Match software also has advanced <br />capabilities to let the dispatchers track vehicle movements in real time. The radio <br />equipment installed on the vehicles is interoperable with the Sheriff's radio network and is <br />CCTS's link to the Emergency Management Command Center for disaster response. <br />There remain two shortfalls in the Route Match technology program. One is the <br />dispatchers' inability to fully utilize all of the Route Match tools available to them; the <br />second is the lack of the Route Match ADA module to help identify the trips that originate <br />and terminate in the 3/ mile ADA buffer. Both of these issues are discussed in the potential <br />CTSP initiatives. This discussion is largely moot if CCTS loses the ADA contract with CK <br />Rider Transit. <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 143 <br />
