Columbia County seeks local input for transit plan
From page 7
will assess the effectiveness of
current transit services and fa-
cilities. Draft recommendations
for the two projects have been
identified and will be described
at the upcoming meetings.
The Transit Plan Update
builds on the Columbia County
Community-wide Transit Plan,
adopted in 2002, and the Coor-
dinated Transit Services Plan,
completed in 2007. The updat-
ed Transit Plan will provide fur-
ther direction for the planning
and implementation of transit
services, operations, facilities,
funding, and promotion/infor-
mation efforts for the next 10
years.
In concert with the Transit
Plan update, Columbia County
is developing a Transit Access
Management Plan for US 30.
This project will identify im-
provements for pedestrian and
bicycle access to transit on the
US 30 corridor, develop de-
signs for urban and rural bus
stops/pullouts, and create a
program for park-and-ride or
park-and-pool lots. Recom-
mended improvements within
the corridor will build on, and
will be consistent with, the ex-
isting and recommended future
transit system that is identified
in Transit Plan.
Recommendations
from
these projects will be presented
at the meetings, along with a
variety of opportunities to com-
ment on them.
