Because CCTS service is on- demand, trip origins are typically a rider's residence. The service provided may differ from one day to the next depending on the requests for service that CCTS receives, but the figure gives an idea of where CCTS is providing trips. Frequent destinations include medical centers, nutrition sites, and vocational centers, including the following top destinations shown on Figure 7: 1. Davita Dialysis (Kannapolis, Copperfield , and Harrisburg locations) 2. McLeod Center in Concord 3. Lunch Plus Club Site (Kannapolis, Concord, and Harrisburg locations) 4. Coltrane Life Center 5. Cabarrus Vocational Opportunities Destinations with the largest numbers of trips are generally located within the cities of Concord and Kannapolis. Some trips were also provided in the incorporated areas of Midland and Mount Pleasant. Very few trips were provided in the northeastern and northwestern corners of the county where population densities are low compared to other areas of the county. As shown on Figure 4, these areas also have low Transit Dependence Index (TDI) scores, which may reflect a lower demand for transit. Attachment number 1 \n F -3 Page 95
