My guess is that Big Bend would take you where ever you wanted to go if you have the money.

At previous meetings, not the NOVA 1020 meetings, Star Metro's long range plans were to have a route to Wakulla Springs and if they could get the funding from the state have a daily trip from Chattahoochee by way of Quincy to Tallahassee to pick up state workers.

This was before the economy took a nose dive.

I just got back from New York on Oct. 18th and I could not get any public
transprotation. I had to ask my Son to drop me off and pick me up. Because
there are no buses out here in woodville.

So how many of you have gone to the airport in the past year. And would
you
use the airport if there was  bus service to the airport?

a show of hands please.

I think we are loosing our focus here. We are not going any where or it
is
going to be harder to go anywhere in Tallahassee if the busses stop going
into the neighborhoods.

I know.  You would think busses would go to the airport so that people
who
don't drive can get there and get to their flights.  And, obviously, if
it
is coming up in every meeting, they should consider it.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

So what they are saying they are not going to have stops on the west
side
of
town. They don't have to have a priority bus just for the airport. Just
go
by it. don't know about this public transportation system and where it
is
heading. Sounds like they are not going to have much of a public
transit
system. Maybe a private company will come in and blow them out of the
water
and then they will be out of the public transit system and will be
rolled
back to the early 19th century . Hmm!

At the listening session that I attended, StarMetro reps stated that
they
would not have a route to the airport because they didn't think they
would
get enough ridership to make it worth having the route and that the
airport
would have to help fund for such a route.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

Star Metro just emailed the Lighthouse:

"We just updated the turn-by-turn. We'll review it after we get back
from
our Listening Session at the CCOC. So, you should expect the updated
turn-by-turn this afternoon around 3."

They are going to send the Lighthouse a turn-by-turn list as well, so
we will post it if we get it before you : ) Either way, it should be

*Subject:* [tabi] Star Metro Listening Sessions


 *StarMetro to hold Final Listening Sessions on nova2010*** *Public
Input Sought on Route Decentralization Project***



During the month of November, StarMetro will hold two final Listening
Sessions to garner customer input on its route decentralization
project titled Innovation in Transit or nova2010 for short.



Listening Sessions will take place on:

- November 6 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located at
300
South Adams Street, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

-         November 10 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located
at
300
South Adams Street, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.



The nova2010 project aims to take the current downtown oriented route
structure and break apart the structure to create a more grid-like
system with routes running on main roads from north to south and east to west with many routes bypassing downtown's C.K. Steele Plaza. This
new structure would create many transfer points scattered throughout
the city.



By traveling on major roads and eliminating route redundancies, a
decentralized StarMetro route structure would offer customers:

-         Reductions in downtown transfers.

-         Reductions in travel time.

-         Reductions in carbon footprint.

-         Increases in on-time performance.

-         Increases in frequency (bus comes more often).

-         Increases in regional travel opportunities.



"The ultimate goal of nova2010 is to create a transit system that
better meets the needs of customers - direct, fast, forward," said
Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro.



StarMetro plans to launch the new, grid-like system in fall 2010.



For more information, please call StarMetro's main office at (850)
891-5200 or visit *Talgov.com/starmetro*. For additional project
updates, please call the nova2010 hotline at (850) 891-5283 or email
nova2010project@xxxxxxxxxxx Citizens may also follow updates on
