APPLE COUNTRY PUBLIC TRANSIT FEASIBILITY STUDY

 

In recent years, ridership on Apple Country Public Transit (ACPT) services declined significantly. The County seeks to increase ridership while optimizing the level of service to current and potential riders. County staff have chosen AECOM as the consultant for the study and will be working closely with them throughout the process. 

Public participation, including surveys and focus groups, will be a large part of the feasibility study. The Board of Commissioners and County staff have also worked to appoint a steering committee, comprised of a variety of stakeholders, to oversee the study. The steering committee includes members from Blue Ridge Community College, The Partnership for Economic Development, Pardee Hospital, the Tourism Development Authority, Hendersonville City Police, the Council on Aging, the Henderson County Health Department, the Henderson County School System, and the Henderson County Sheriff's Department. More information regarding public outreach events and opportunities for engagement will be shared in the coming months.
