Chapel Hill Transit will add two routes to its reduced services beginning on Monday, October 5.
The addition of the CL and N routes was approved on Sept. 22 by the Public Transit Partners committee. the committee is comprised of members of the Chapel Hill Town Council, Carrboro Town Council and UNC Parking and Transportation office.
Brian Litchfield, Transit Director, said the addition of these two routes will help provide safe and reliable service to the visitors and residents of Chapel Hill and Carrboro during the pandemic.
“By adding these two routes we will be able to connect more of our customers to employment and healthcare opportunities,” Litchfield said.
Jeffrey Sullivan, the Community Outreach Manager, said these routes were added based on input from planning teams and customers.
“We are not able to run all routes due to capacity restrictions on our buses, but we continue to monitor our routes and look for opportunities to improve transit access for our customers,” Sullivan said.
According to Chapel Hill Transit, the newly designed CL route runs between UNC Hospitals and Eastowne Drive, serving East Franklin Street, Old Sterling Drive, Sage Road, Dobbins Drive, Summerfield Crossing Road, and Old Oxford Road. The CL route runs every 20 minutes between 6:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The newly designed N route runs between Estes Park apartments and the Northside neighborhood, UNC Hospitals and Meadowmont, providing service the discontinued V route used to provide. The N route provides hourly service from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to these two routes, Chapel Hill Transit will also alter the schedule of the NU route, making the last trip around 7 p.m., and change the routing of the S route. The route will not serve the Friday Center South (formerly NC-54) Park and Ride Lot. It will serve the Friday Center Park and Ride lot, located at the intersection of NC-54 and Friday Center Drive.
