GREAT Transit Short Range Transit Plan

Transit road map for the next five years

This five year plan is being developed by GREAT, a consulting firm (Stantec) and a citizen/agency steering committee. There were 15 members at the kick-off meeting on April 22, 2013. Three of the attendees were bus riders, who use the services daily. Several transit partners were present (Vidant Hospital, ECU, PCC and PATS), as well as, several agencies that rely on transit services, i.e. housing authority and social services. The group also includes Public Works and the Public Transportation and Parking Commission. The others represented the economic development arms of government, i.e. Uptown Greenville, Chamber of Commerce. The groups’ second meeting on May 20, 2013 looked at some objectives for the next five years. This study needs to focus the ‘short range’ e.g. immediate transit service improvements that do not try to reconfigure the entire system to serve the intermodal center site (Greenville Transportation Activity Center). Bus riders on the Steering Committee identified the need for shelters, better access to the Mall, stop spacing and the age and cleanliness of buses as issues.
