Zolinga za Maulendo ndi Zosankha zazikulu
The concepts below can help you think about your goals and priorities for transit service in Elkhart and Goshen.
To help you think about that, we’ve drawn two contrasting images of how the network could look, depending on what is most important to people and what the public’s priorities are. Both concepts assume the same budget, with service in Elkhart the same as it is today and service in Goshen with two more buses, as the city has already planned to invest more in transit. Even with more service in Goshen, the budget is limited, so we must make some hard decisions about what’s most important.
We've also drawn up two concepts that show what's possible with increased funding towards transit. We want to know how much investment you would be willing to provide to transit and the results you could get.
Whether you ride transit or not, your taxes help pay for bus service, so everyone's thoughts and opinions matter. Engagement around these concepts has ended, though you can still learn about them and provide feedback to the project team.
Kodi Tipange Bwanji Mabasi A Derali?
Zimatengera.
Tangoganizani kuti tikupanga netiweki yamaulendo amzinda wopekawu. Mizere ndi misewu ndipo madontho ndi anthu ndi ntchito.
Malo omwe ali ndi madontho oyandikana kwambiri amakhala odzaza ndi zochitika. Anthu ambiri akufuna kupita ndi kuchokera kumalo amenewo. Ntchito yochulukayi imachitika m'misewu ikuluikulu.
Mabasi omwe ali pachithunzichi ndizinthu zonse zomwe tiyenera kuyendetsa.
kukwera
Ngati cholinga chathu ndikupeza okwera pamakina athu, titha kuyang'ana kwambiri zamayendedwe komwe anthu ambiri ndi ntchito zili pafupi. Titha kupereka maulendo othamanga kwambiri omwe ndi abwino kwambiri komanso amalimbikitsa anthu kukwera maulendo m'madera amenewo.
KUTHANDIZA
Ngati cholinga chathu ndikufikira madera ambiri momwe tingathere, tiyenera kufalitsa zoyendera. Maulendo sangakhale pafupipafupi, choncho si anthu ambiri amene angaone kuti mayendedwe ndi othandiza komanso osavuta. Komabe, pangakhale ena Kufikira pamayendedwe m'malo ambiri momwe ndingathere.
Zolinga zonsezi ndi zofunika, koma mkati mwa bajeti yochepa kusunthira ku imodzi kumatanthauza kuchoka kwa wina.
Kodi Pakufunika Paulendo?
These concepts are NOT PROPOSALS. We will be developing the final plan later this year with your input.
Ridership Concept
This concept connects the busiest parts of the region with the best possible bus service (every 15 minutes or better). On average, more people can get to more places sooner with this concept, so ridership will be higher, but it doesn't cover as many people.
Coverage Concept
This concept expands the network to cover more area, but because there are so many routes, frequencies are low. Ridership is lower because people may not want to wait as long.
Red lines arrive every 15 minutes or less
Blue lines arrive every 30 minutes
Green lines arrive every 60 minutes
Tan lines are peak-only or have a limited schedule
Red lines arrive every 15 minutes or less
Blue lines arrive every 30 minutes
Green lines arrive every 60 minutes
Tan lines are peak-only or have a limited schedule
Outcomes
-
The average resident can reach 7% more jobs by transit in 45 minutes
-
These numbers are probably similar for other destinations, like school, shopping, etc.
-
44% of residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of any transit service, compared to 55% now.
-
40% of all residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of transit service that comes every 30 minutes or better, compared to 32% now
-
This concept would slightly increase the number of jobs the average person could reach in 45 minutes by walking and transit compared to the Existing Network.
Outcomes
-
The average resident can reach 2% fewer jobs by transit in 45 minutes
-
These numbers are probably similar for other destinations, like school, shopping, etc.
-
66% of residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of any transit service, compared to 55% now.
-
30% of all residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of transit service that comes every 30 minutes or better, compared to 32% now
-
This concept would slightly decrease the number of jobs the average person could reach in 45 minutes by walking and transit compared to the Existing Network.
Change in Access
Where can you be soon? Answering that question tells us a great deal about how useful a transit system is. The images below compare how far you can get from Downtown Elkhart, Downtown Goshen, or other key destinations in 45 minutes in the Ridership and Coverage concepts.

Kodi Derali Liyenera Kuyika Ndalama Zambiri pazaulendo?
Kuyang'ana madera ofananira nawo, ndi ntchito zawo zamaulendo, mfundo zingapo zikuwonekera bwino:
Derali limapereka chithandizo chochepa. Palibe mnzawo amene adapereka chithandizo chochepa pa munthu aliyense kuposa Interurban Trolley. Ngakhale atayikidwa pamodzi ndi Transpo kuti ayerekezere dera, Fort Wayne ndi Rockford okha ndi omwe amapereka chithandizo chochepa pa munthu aliyense. (Onani tchati kumanja).
Kukwera nawonso ndikotsika. Chomwe chimathandizira kwambiri pakukwera ndi kuchuluka kwa ntchito zomwe zimaperekedwa. Pakati pa mabungwe a anzawo, omwe amapereka chithandizo chochulukirapo amabweretsa okwera kwambiri.
Onse Transpo ndi Interurban Trolley zokolola ndi otsika kwambiri. Maulendo am'derali mwina adatsitsidwa ndi ntchito zotsika kwambiri. Zotsatira zake, zokolola zambiri m'mabungwe onsewa zakhala zotsika kuposa mabungwe ena omwe amapereka ntchito zofananira.
Poganizira zenizeni izi, pali funso lofunikira ngati derali likuyenera kuyika ndalama zambiri pamayendedwe kuti athe kupeza mwayi komanso kukulitsa okwera.
Kuti mumve zambiri za netiweki yomwe ilipo komanso kufananitsa anzanu, onani Mutu 4 wa Lipoti la Zosankha.
The Growth and Vision Concepts
These concepts are NOT PROPOSALS. We will be developing the final plan later this year with your input.
Growth Concept
The Growth Concept combines the increased frequent service of the Ridership Concept together with the retained and expanded service of the Coverage Concept. By combining both Concepts this network both dramatically increases how many useful destinations an average resident can reach in a given amount of time, and maintains shorter walks and the introduction of new service areas to expand overall access to transit, providing lifeline service levels to more residents.
Vision Concept
The Vision Concept is a vastly improved network that would introduce frequent service between South Bend, Elkhart, and Goshen. It would also expand coverage to area currently not served by transit. It maximizes investment to maximize progress towards important community goals such as economic development, air quality, and sustainability.
