Council approves interlocal agreement to extend Link Transit service to Mebane
Summary
Council authorized a $15,000 local match to extend Burlington’s Link Transit orange route to Mebane, adding a park-and-ride stop and weekday and Saturday service; the operator will provide monthly boarding reports and quarterly invoices to the city.
The council approved an interlocal agreement to bring Link Transit service into Mebane with a local match included in the adopted budget.
Staff explained the agreement would extend Link Transit’s orange route into Mebane with a stop at the existing park-and-ride at a Cone Health lot, provide weekday service at roughly 90-minute intervals and include Saturday service. The budget adopted in June included a $15,000 local match; Link Transit will invoice the city and provide monthly boarding reports for trips within Mebane city limits.
John Ando, Link Transit’s manager, said the agency will provide ridership data and quarterly invoices; council members expressed optimism that the service would expand regional mobility and noted public interest.
What's next: staff will execute the interlocal agreement and the council will appoint a member to the public transit advisory commission at an upcoming meeting.
