Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report - September 2015 <br />The underserved communities of Mt Pleasant and Harrisburg are provided service via <br />Mount Pleasant deviated fixed point route from Food Lion to Coltrane Life Center and <br />southeast Cabarrus County deviated fixed point route passing through Harrisburg Lunch <br />Plus Club Site in route to CK Rider Charlotte Motor Speedway bus stop and park & ride. <br />New information arose during the course of the study that indicated CK Rider Transit will <br />be offering approximately $115,000 in section 5310 urban grants to providers who can <br />deliver trips to elderly and disabled persons. Initiative #3.3 - the idea of applying for 5307 <br />urban funding was deemed impractical by the MPO because even the existing 5307 funds <br />are insufficient to fund the fixed route service currently being operated by CK Rider Transit <br />and the Rowan Express. Therefore a Package #2 will encourage agencies and taxi cab <br />companies to apply for CK Rider Transit's 5310 grant funds, in order to support the <br />deviated routing that also re- establishes service to the unserved Harrisburg and Mount <br />Pleasant communities. If the agency applies then the 80/20 capital funded purchase of <br />service rules apply, which allows more trips to be delivered than if CCTS applied directly <br />under the 50/50 operating rule. <br />Package #3: Mobility Management and associated initiatives, plus planning - ideas <br />that the Steering Committee thought just needed to be tried: <br />• Initiative #3.4 - Apply for maximum RGP - and use all the tools available to make <br />sure these funds get spent, i.e. mobility management, promotion of new deviated <br />fixed point routing to existing CCTS high frequency locations, etc. <br />• Initiative #2.7 - Include Hispanic representation on the TAB and hopefully carry <br />more of this ethnic population on the buses. Service to the Hispanic Learning Center <br />was recommended in the Local Coordination Plan (LCP) <br />• Initiative #2.6 - Increase the training budget to assist in business management and <br />mobility management skill development. A mobility manager focused on improving <br />travel options for the elderly and persons with disabilities can receive 80% federal <br />funds for their salary under the 5310 grant. The program also funds outreach and <br />rider training initiatives. The salaried mobility manager would be brought on <br />slowly, as salaries paid by 5311 rural administrative assistance fund 85% of the <br />current administrative salaries with only a 15% match, but the 5311 funding has <br />been frozen at the 2015 levels so there may well be a need to fully support the <br />mobility management position through alternative funding. <br />• Initiative #2.5 - Campaign for a fare increase: roll this in with establishing zone <br />fares and student discounts and Initiative #4.5 - an improved pass /voucher /ticket <br />program. <br />• Initiative #4.4 - private sector participation was retained as an alternative way to <br />provide bus stop amenities in the short term. Initiative #3.5 - a grant for a bus stop <br />improvement program - was eliminated due to NCDOT inability to use limited rural <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 177 <br />
