የመጓጓዣ ግቦች እና ቁልፍ ምርጫዎች
The concepts below can help you think about your goals and priorities for transit service in South Bend and Mishawaka.
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 that we can run the same amount of bus service as it did in late 2019, just before the pandemic. We can’t add more service, so we have to 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 into 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. Public engagement on these concepts is now complete, but you can still provide feedback to the project team.
የክልሉን የአውቶቡስ ኔትወርክ እንዴት መንደፍ አለብን?
ይወሰናል።
እስቲ አስቡት ለዚህ ምናባዊ ከተማ የመጓጓዣ አውታር እየነደፍን ነው። መስመሮቹ መንገዶች እና ነጥቦቹ ሰዎች እና ስራዎች ናቸው.
ብዙ ነጥብ ያላቸው ቦታዎች በእንቅስቃሴ ጥቅጥቅ ያሉ ናቸው። ብዙ ሰዎች ወደ እነዚያ ቦታዎች መጓዝ ይፈልጋሉ። ያ ጥቅጥቅ ያለ እንቅስቃሴ በዋና መንገዶች ላይ ያተኮረ ነው።
በምስሉ ላይ ያሉት አውቶቡሶች መጓጓዣን ለማስኬድ ያለን ሁሉም ሀብቶች ናቸው።
RIDERSHIP
ግባችን ከስርዓታችን ከፍተኛውን ፈረሰኛ ማግኘት ከሆነ፣ ብዙ ሰዎች እና ስራዎች አንድ ላይ በሚሆኑበት የትራንዚት ሃብቶች እናተኩራለን። ከዚያም በጣም ምቹ እና ሰዎች በእነዚህ አካባቢዎች መጓጓዣ እንዲጓዙ የሚያበረታታ ከፍተኛ ድግግሞሽ አገልግሎት መስጠት እንችላለን።
ሽፋን
ግባችን የመጓጓዣ ሽፋንን በተቻለ መጠን በብዙ ቦታዎች ማግኘት ከሆነ፣ የመጓጓዣ ሀብቶችን ማሰራጨት አለብን። መንገዶች ተደጋጋሚ ሊሆኑ አይችሉም፣ እና ብዙ ሰዎች መጓጓዣ ጠቃሚ እና ምቹ ሆነው አያገኙም። ሆኖም ግን, አንዳንዶቹ ሊኖሩ ይችላሉ የመጓጓዣ ሽፋን በተቻለ መጠን በብዙ አካባቢዎች.
ሁለቱም ግቦች አስፈላጊ ናቸው፣ ግን በተወሰነ በጀት ውስጥ ወደ አንዱ መቀየር ከሌላው መራቅ ማለት ነው።
የትራንዚት ፍላጎቶች የት አሉ?
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 21% more jobs by transit in 45 minutes
-
These numbers are probably similar for other destinations, like school, shopping, etc.
-
64% of residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of any transit service, compared to 78% now.
-
59% of all residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of transit service that comes every 30 minutes or better, compared to 55% now
-
This concept would 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 12% fewer jobs by transit in 45 minutes
-
These numbers are probably similar for other destinations, like school, shopping, etc.
-
79% of residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of any transit service, compared to 78% now.
-
30% of all residents are within a 1/2 mile walk of transit service that comes every 30 minutes or better, compared to 55% now
-
This concept would reduce 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 South Street Station, Downtown Mishawaka, or other key destinations in 45 minutes in the Ridership and Coverage concepts.
ክልሉ በትራንዚት ላይ የበለጠ ኢንቨስት ማድረግ አለበት?
ተመጣጣኝ ክልሎችን እና የመተላለፊያ አገልግሎታቸውን ስንመለከት፣ ጥቂት ቁልፍ መደምደሚያዎች ግልጽ ናቸው።
ክልሉ በአንጻራዊ ሁኔታ አነስተኛ አገልግሎት ይሰጣል. አንዳቸውም ቢጤዎች ከኢንተርራባን ትሮሊ ያነሰ አገልግሎት አላቀረቡም። ለክልላዊ ንፅፅር ከTranspo ጋር ሲቧደኑ እንኳን ፎርት ዌይን እና ሮክፎርድ ብቻ በነፍስ ወከፍ ያነሰ አገልግሎት ይሰጣሉ። (በስተቀኝ ያለውን ሰንጠረዥ ይመልከቱ)።
አሽከርካሪነት በተመሳሳይ ዝቅተኛ ነው። ለአሽከርካሪነት ትልቁ አስተዋፅዖ የሚያደርገው የሚሰጠው የአገልግሎት መጠን ነው። ከእኩያ ኤጀንሲዎች መካከል፣ ብዙ አገልግሎት የሚሰጡት የበለጠ ፈረሰኛ ያመነጫሉ።
የሁለቱም ትራንስፖ እና ኢንተርራባን ትሮሊ ምርታማነት በጣም ዝቅተኛ ነው። በዝቅተኛ ፍሪኩዌንሲ አገልግሎት የክልሉ ትራንዚት አሽከርካሪነት ሳይታገድ አልቀረም። በመሆኑም የሁለቱም ኤጀንሲዎች አማካኝ ምርታማነት ከሌሎቹ ኤጀንሲዎች ጋር ተመሳሳይ የሆነ አጠቃላይ አገልግሎት ከሚሰጡ ኤጀንሲዎች ያነሰ ሆኖ ተገኝቷል።
ከነዚህ እውነታዎች አንፃር፣ ክልሉ የዕድሎችን ተደራሽነት ለማሻሻል እና አሽከርካሪዎችን ለመጨመር በትራንዚት ላይ የበለጠ ኢንቨስት ማድረግ አለበት ወይ የሚለው ቁልፍ እሴት ጥያቄ አለ።
ስላለው የመጓጓዣ አውታር እና የአቻ ንፅፅር የበለጠ ዝርዝር ለማግኘት የምርጫዎች ሪፖርት ምዕራፍ 4ን ይመልከቱ።
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
This concept provides both the frequency of the Ridership Concept and the additional places and neighborhoods served by the Coverage Concept. The additional service dramatically increases how many useful destinations an average resident can reach in a given amount of time, while also maintain and expanding coverage.
Vision Concept
The Vision Concept is a vastly improved network that would provide far more frequent service along most of the major corridors in South Bend and Mishawaka. It would also begin to introduce grid-like elements to better serve trips that begin and end outside of downtown.
Dark red lines arrive every 10 minutes or less
Red lines arrive every 15 minutes
Blue lines arrive every 30 minutes

Dark red lines arrive every 10 minutes or less
Red lines arrive every 15 minutes
Blue lines arrive every 30 minutes
Green lines arrive every 60 minutes
Tan lines are peak-only or have a limited schedule
Yellow boxes are demand-response zones
