Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report — September 2015 <br />11. FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS <br />11.1 FIVE -YEAR SERVICE AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN <br />The five -year planning study process is founded on the principle of bringing new thinking to <br />the local community and then adopting only those strategies that are sensitive to the <br />community vision. Each initiative must be a comprehensive end -to -end project ready to <br />implement in a short term, e.g. feasible, affordable, and in sync with emerging <br />opportunities. Several items on the list were deemed desirable yet impractical due to policy, <br />financial, or basic logistical /political constraints registered by the Steering Committee. <br />Whenever possible, the desirable portions of the strategy we repackaged into a more <br />flexible combination of initiatives. <br />Package #1: Coordinated Out -of- County Transportation - The preliminary Initiative <br />#4.2 in Table 15, which called for an inter -local <br />Out -of- County Medical <br />Transportation <br />• About S9% of all CCTS trips are <br />medical related. <br />• 6.3% of all medical trips are out of <br />county; this accounts for 9.1% of <br />all vehicle miles traveled. <br />• An estimated 1,800 passenger trips <br />were sent to Greater Charlotte last <br />year. The average trip length was <br />11.6 miles each way. <br />agreements to transfer trips between neighboring <br />Counties, drew a lot of support. Discussion focused on <br />the benefit of providing better service to the Midland <br />community, which was a major service gap identified in <br />the Locally Coordinated Plan. However, Stanly County <br />(SCUSA) thought something more flexible than <br />`Initiative #1.1 - daily runs from Midland to <br />Independence Boulevard' would be more practical. The <br />inter -local agreement should also embrace: <br />• Initiative #2.2 policy change to eliminate <br />`medical only', in order to allow general public out -of- <br />county ridership, on a seats available basis. <br />• Initiative #2.4 - adopt tighter eligibility <br />requirements that are universal for all four counties <br />The benefits of a Four County Coordinated Out -of- County Transportation can only be truly <br />quantified after the agreement has been crafted. The pie chart in Figure 28 below is an <br />example of which trips could be redistributed to neighboring Counties. The accompanying <br />table shows an example of how 100% of the 226 trips to Chapel Hill might be transferred to <br />SCUSA. <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 175 <br />
