This formula provides the basis for the annual contract negotiations with the University and Carrboro. Carrboro began purchasing transit services in FY 77-78 with revenue sharing funds. In FY 80-81 the Carrboro contract included EZ Rider for the first time. Chapel Hill Transit also has seven lift-equipped vans and two trolley buses. The Chapel Hill Transit system has fifteen routes that provide coverage throughout most of the community.
Night service includes four routes.
On Saturdays, five routes are operating, and two routes operate on Sundays. Shared Ride services are used on evening and Sunday routes when there is not enough demand to warrant a fixed route. The service is operated from bus stop to bus stop anywhere in the service area that does not normally have Sunday or evening service. Weekday Shared Ride Feeder is available for areas that do not receive regular bus service. Transportation is provided between the service zone and designated transfer points where connections can be made with fixed route bus service.
