Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report - September 2015 <br />Central East Cabarrus zone to Cabarrus Vocational Opportunities Transit Hub <br />• Southeast Cabarrus zone to Harrisburg Lunch -Plus -Club nutrition site Transit Hub <br />and then on to Charlotte Motor Speedway Park and Ride <br />Current assumption is that the switch from CCTS Commuter Shuttle to UNC Charlotte to <br />the Feeder Service will occur around January 2019 (see Transfer Hubs with CK Rider <br />Transit below). Re- evaluation of feeder service should be conducted closer to the realization <br />of the CATS NE Corridor improvement implementation. <br />Transfer Hubs with CK Rider Transit <br />There are probably a dozen existing CK Rider Transit bus stops that match the high <br />frequency destinations of the CCTS riders. These stops could be upgraded to serve as mini - <br />transfer hubs for enhanced collaboration between CK Rider Transit and CCTS. CK Rider <br />Transit has already included adding bus stop amenities and safety improvements to their <br />new five year service plan (TDP); the addition of shelters, benches, and lights should be <br />considered a long term goal for all bus stops, beginning with the highest ridership bus <br />stops. Conducting an assessment of existing stop infrastructure for compliance with <br />provisions outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and creating a transition <br />plan as outlined below is also recommended. <br />Department of Human Services Plaza <br />The plaza that houses the Department of Human Services /CCTS is an excellent example <br />where CK Rider Transit has a stop at the entrance of a high frequency CCTS boarding and <br />alighting location. There is a large portico canopy over a wide smooth promenade style <br />sidewalk already in place, but no transit amenities other than a sign post. The map <br />showing the combined CCTS initiatives (Figure 26 above) already identifies several Park <br />and Ride locations that can be frequented by CCTS vans in route to other locations and <br />could eventually become part of a recognized CCTS pick -up location. <br />Procedures, policies and flexible payment options and media coverage would have to <br />precede any significantly new service strategy like what is being proposed in the feeder <br />service alternative, i.e. one of the many considerations would be the need to ensure that the <br />deviated fixed point bus route stops are as accessible to persons with disabilities. <br />Accessible bus stops make it easier for an agency to shift persons with disabilities from <br />paratransit to fixed -route services. Making such transfers will definitely result in lower <br />paratransit costs (national averages show demand responsive transit costs 7 to 10 times <br />what it costs for the same passenger /hour of fixed route service. In addition to benefiting <br />4 Crcativc Ways to Manage paratransit Costs projcct #BD549 -28 FINAL REPORT Prcparcd by the Ccntcr for Urban Transportation Rcscarch <br />Univcrsity of South Florida, CUTR, July 2008.
