Cabarrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Final Report— September 2015 Table 18: Ridership Growth Projections from Service Plan Recommendations Assumes modest growth from .19 passenger per service hour levels in 2012 to .25 pax /service hr. in 2016 -20 Note loss of 25,000 annual ADA ridership in year 3 thru 5, due to service contracted to fixed route provider. Future Considerations The Cabarrus County Board of County Commissioners is ultimately striving for a balanced transit option to serve all of the County residents. At this juncture the Commissioners are examining every practical solution to providing the County residents with the highest quality public transportation coverage that money can buy, even to the extent of exploring a city /county transit merger. Many of the opportunities in the CTSP can be implemented under: • The existing organizational structure, • A stand -alone transportation department within the County or • A structured city /county merger. However in the case of a city /county merger, every initiative will become an element of negotiation, especially as details of the funding platform are being determined.
