_ Transit. Feasibility Study. “I

can’t see where any changes

_ The idea for some changes to
the present system originally
came from Betty Stewart of Ter-
race and District. Community
Services, who suggested that a
HandyDART system could bet-
ter meet the needs of marginally
Handy-

Kemano

DART, named for the concept ©
of a Handy Dial-a-Ride Trans-
portation system, is already
operating in other B.C. centers,
offering a specialized transit
system to a number of riders
whose visual or physical
disabilities make using the tradi-
tional system difficult.

The B.C. Transit study* of-
fered three possible solutions for
the greater Terrace area — the
third of which they highly rec-

ommended, It would appear as

though council also offers a
similar endorsement.

If the proposal were intro-
duced, our present system would
be reduced to one regular transit
bus but three vans (one fora
spare) would be added. The bus
would provide the required
capacity for school students,
while the vans would provide the

Dublic meeting to be
~ held on transit issue —

. ‘TERRACE — No date has been
~. set: but there will soon be a
-public meeting with city council
and B.C. Transit reps on hand -
to discuss a proposal for the im--
plementation of a new transit

necessary capacity. and” Te :

quirements for both a conven-
tional and custom. transit “ser-

‘vice. Described in the report as

“fixed route with deviations’’,
the system would improve both
the performance and level of ser-
vice currently offered.

- First, according to B: C. Tran-
sit, the changes would address
the fact that the current system .

doés not meet the needs of the
average. user, by altering the
times and number of runs. And
second, the new system would
offer something to users with
some form of:disability. To this
end, deviations would be made
from regular runs in order to of-
fer disabled users a new-found
mobility. -

The focus for this type of ser-
vice would be the bench area,
Thornhill and the Copper
Mountain subdivision. Service
to Queensway would be offered
on demand only. Estimates in

-the report suggest an increased

annual cost of about $45,300, a
rise in local transit costs from
$281,200 to $326,500. At the
same time, however, the
estimate shows an annual in-
crease Of 20,500 riders which
would increase revenues by
§13,300. This would mean a cost
recovery of 22.9 percent, com-
pared to the present 21.9 per-

.cent. B.C. Transit’s share of the

‘jncreased annual cost. ‘would
jump from $131,300 to
$161,200, while the local cost
share would rise from $88, 400 to
$90, 500.
