Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report — September 2015 <br />Figure ES -3: 2010 Census Urban Boundary <br />a <br />S <br />i <br />The Cabarrus County urbanized <br />area billowed out between 2000 <br />and 2010, resulting in a <br />substantial reduction in the rural <br />area within which CCTS can <br />provide general public transit <br />services; this newly defined <br />urbanized areas can no longer <br />receive Rural General Public <br />funding. CK Rider Transit is only <br />responsible for coverage of the <br />municipalities of Concord and <br />Kannapolis. This leaves many <br />areas that were previously covered <br />under non - urbanized transit <br />funding in a service vacuum (see <br />tan and green area outside the red <br />ring but inside the 2010 urban <br />boundary line on Figure ES -3). <br />One striking example of the effect <br />of this reversal in funding is the <br />loss of the Cabarrus Links <br />Deviated Fixed Route service that <br />was funded under Rural Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC). This service to Midland, <br />Mt. Pleasant, and Harrisburg ended on June 30, 2014. This funding essentially paid the <br />salary for ten of the 27 CCTS drivers — it has been a difficult void to fill. <br />While the study suggested that CCTS play a more regional role in order to keep up with the <br />evolving urbanization in the Greater Charlotte NE Corridor, it is apparent that the <br />continued DHS demand for the transit service precludes any major shift from the status <br />quo at this time. Another blow to CCTS's regional role will be the eminent loss of the ADA <br />complimentary service contract for the urban provider. As such few growth opportunities <br />are left, and a targeting marketing campaign is needed to root -out eligible riders. <br />The objective of the CTSP is to propose alternatives that best serve the essential needs of <br />the community, with just enough added value to push "Employment, Education, and <br />Economic Development" forward (these are the `3Es' being encouraged in all NCDOT Public <br />Transportation Division planning). <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 76 <br />153 A <br />c 29 <br />.752... <br />?E3?ELL CO <br />OWAN CO <br />a <br />�� <br />1r �� <br />•r <br />n - - <br />I <br />601 <br />iCA6ARRl1S C4 <br />+ <br />c <br />", • <br />-s <br />MECY.
