buses
Fare-free
transit service is a key amenity in our community. As a result of the Orange County Bus and Rail Investment Plan that Orange County
voters passed in 2012, we are seeing improvements to our service with more to
come. We ask Brian Litchfield, Chapel Hill Transit Director, some questions
about those improvements and other issues surrounding transit in our community.
Take a look and then share what you would like to see.
Q & A With Brian Litchfield,
Director of Chapel Hill Transit
Thank you for this opportunity
and I appreciate you sharing information about some of the initiatives Chapel
Hill Transit currently has underway via OrangePolitics. First, let me offer a quick overview of
Chapel Hill Transit.
Over the next two weeks, Orange County will be holding public outreach sessions to get feedback from central and rural Orange County residents about the Orange County Bus and Rail Investment Plan. Residents are invited to discuss options for new, expanded and existing bus services under the plan. Bus routes to be brought for public input will include rural service routes, regional service routes, and the Hillsborough Circulator.
Four meetings will be held throughout northern Orange County in August. The dates and locations are as follows, and can also be found on the OP calendar.

The purpose of the outreach is to obtain information regarding community bus service needs and assist in the design of future services.
As the meetings will be conducted primarily in an “open house” format, feel free to come when you can. A presentation may be given a couple of times during the course of the evening to best accommodate attendees.
