| APPLICATION PURPOSE: THE FIRST MILE -LAST MILE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE CATS WITH A TRANSIT SOLUTION DESIGNED TO EXPAND ACCESS OF RELIABLE CONVENIENT FREQUENT AND AFFORDABLE TRANSIT SERVICE TO LOW-INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITIES. THROUGH A PROACTIVE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT EXTENSIVELY INVOLVES LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS IN DISADVANTAGE NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITIES CATS WILL DEVELOP A FIRST MILE/LAST MILE MOBILITY SOLUTION THAT IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL RESIDENTS WITHIN MECKLENBURG COUNTY.; ACTIVITIES PERFORMED: CATS PLANS TO IMPLEMENT ITS FIRST MILE-LAST MILE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALTERNATIVE SERVICE DESIGNS AND FLEET/TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION AND AN ACTION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT.; EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE FIRST MILE-LAST MILE SOLUTION WILL EXTEND UPON FUTURE NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS BY PROVIDING IMPORTANT COMMUNITY/NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS TO FREQUENT FIXED ROUTE SERVICE AND AREA RESOURCES. THIS WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER CURRENT SERVICE LEVELS PARTICULARLY FOR LOW-INCOME PASSENGERS WHO CURRENTLY RELY ON INFREQUENT CIRCULATOR ROUTES TO CONNECT TO/FROM DISADVANTAGE NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITIES. TODAY THESE RIDERS CAN EXPERIENCE WAIT TIMES RANGING FROM 40-60 MINUTES. CATS ANTICIPATES THAT FREQUENCY IMPROVEMENTS ON CORE LOCAL ROUTES COMBINED WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FIRST MILE-LAST MILE SOLUTION WOULD ALSO POSITION THE AGENCY TO RECOVER RIDERSHIP LOST DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. RIDERSHIP HAS DECREASED 56 PERCENT ON CIRCULATOR SERVICES SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC AND CONTINUES TO DECLINE. THROUGH THIS EFFORT CATS WILL SET A GOAL OF INCREASING RIDERSHIP TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS OVER 2 YEARS AN INCREASE OF 44 PERCENT. WITH TRANSIT DIRECTLY IMPACTING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING THE FIRST MILE-LAST MILE SOLUTION WILL EXPAND TRANSIT OPTIONS BY PROVIDING LOW-INCOME RIDERS IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES WITH SERVICE THAT IS FREQUENT FLEXIBLE AND RELIABLE. CHARLOTTE IS LIKE MANY GROWING SUNBELT CITIES IN THAT WITHOUT A CAR IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCESS DAILY NEEDS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FIRST MILE-LAST MILE SOLUTION WILL ALSO REDUCE TRAVEL TIME AS WELL AS ENHANCE THE TRANSFER EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY FOR LOW-INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING KEY CONNECTIONS TO MAJOR HUBS WHERE HIGH FREQUENCY BUS ROUTES AND OTHER FORMS OF MOBILITY ALL COME TOGETHER. FOR EXAMPLE A RESIDENT OF THE LOW-INCOME RENAISSANCE WEST COMMUNITY IN CHARLOTTE LIVES LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM THE GOODWILL OPPORTUNITY CAMPUS A SITE THAT PROVIDES RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING MULTIPLE OBSTACLES AND BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT. TODAY THAT TRIP ON A BUS WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 75 MINUTES. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ON-DEMAND FIRST MILE-LAST MILE SOLUTION ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL NETWORK FREQUENCY IMPROVEMENTS WOULD REDUCE THAT TRIP TO LESS THAN 30 MINUTES.THE FIRST MILE- LAST MILE SOLUTION WILL ALSO EMPLOY MODERNIZED TRANSIT SOLUTIONS WITHIN TARGETED AREAS TO HELP IMPROVE SERVICE QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. THIS SOLUTION WOULD ENHANCE THE RIDERS EXPERIENCE BY PROVIDING HIGHLY FLEXIBLE BUS SERVICE AND ON-DEMAND SCHEDULING FOR THE SAME FARE AS SERVICE THAT IS CURRENTLY PROVIDED TODAY. THROUGH THE BUS PRIORITY STUDY ONE OF THE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS WILL ALSO INCLUDE NEW TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS TRANSIT SIGNAL PRIORITY TO HELP REDUCE OVERALL TRIP TIMES AND PROVIDE QUICKER AND MORE RELIABLE SERVICE FOR RIDERS. VEHICLE TYPES USED TO DELIVER THE FIRST-MILE LAST-MILE SOLUTION WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AS FIXED ROUTE SERVICE. TOGETHER THESE TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS WILL ENHANCE FIRST/LAST MILE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND KEY TRANSIT HUBS AND DESTINATIONS. THIS WILL ALLOW LOW INCOME RIDERS IN DISADVANTAGED AREAS TO EASILY ACCESS HIGH FREQUENCY BUS ROUTES KEY PROGRAMMING AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SERVICES THROUGHOUT CHARLOTTE.; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND CENTERS CATS EMPLOYEES LOCAL RIDESHARE OPERATORS AND TRANSIT NETWORK USERS; SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NONE | North Carolina transit (FTA federal awards) | CITY OF CHARLOTTE | $750K | — |
