Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report — September 2015 disabled passengers, accessible stops also have an added benefit of marketing to non- disabled passengers and even non - transit users, who might be enticed by a bus shelter or concrete pad. Kannapolis Train Station and Intercity Bus in Concord The Carolinian and Piedmont Amtrak routes make stops at the Kannapolis Train Station at 201 South Main Street in Kannapolis. The Carolinian makes two daily round trips between Charlotte and Raleigh. The Piedmont makes one daily round trip between Charlotte and New York. The station already serves as a major transit hub for CK Rider Transit as both the Brown and Blue lines interconnect here. The Kannapolis Train Station has the fourth highest average daily boarding in the CK Rider Transit system. Intercity bus service is provided by Greyhound. A Greyhound stop is located near the I -85 interchange with Cannon Boulevard at the Cash and Carry, in Concord. The stop is 1 mile north of CK Rider Downtown Concord Transit Center. The intercity bus stop is serviced by the CK Rider Transit Blue Line. Dialysis Clinics The dialysis clinics in Cabarrus County are high frequency destinations for CCTS, as are lunch plus nutrition sites and active adult centers. All of these locations are also on CK Rider Transit bus lines. The following high frequency CCTS destinations that are also CK Rider Transit bus stop sites should be inventoried to see if they can be made more accessible to persons with disabilities and more enticing to the general public (note inventory of bus stops is already in the CK Rider Transit 5 year plan): • Davita Dialysis — Kannapolis • Kannapolis Lunch Plus Club Site • Davita Dialysis — Copperf"ield • Vocational Opportunity work site (CVO) • McLeod Center — Concord • Coltrane Life Center • Concord Lunch Plus Club Site All of these locations have potential to be mini - transit hubs.
