This project provides repairs and renovations to parking lots at transit park and ride lots and transit centers to allow them to continue functioning as transit facilities and comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In FY08/FY09, an evaluation and assessment of all park and ride facilities, including ADA accessibility and pedestrian safety, was completed to provide scope and detailed cost estimates for the restoration and upgrades.

The plan calls for the following site renovations: FY17: Colesville Park and Ride, Greencastle Park and Ride FY18: Kingsview Park and Ride.

The County operates 8 transit park and ride lots and 3 transit centers in major transportation corridors. Several County park and ride lots have had major failures, resulting from the age and use of the facilities. Some of the lots were constructed more than 20 years ago. Pavement and the entrances were not constructed to support heavy bus traffic.

Schedule was delayed to FY16 pending work with the Department Of Environmental Protection (DEP) on Low Impact Design (LID) to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. At the park and ride lots DEP has designed and will manage the bio-rentention facilities, rain gardens and permeable pavements. Lots include: Greencastle and Colesville Park and Ride lots.

Funding for this project is general obligation bonds dedicated to Mass Transit with debt service financed from the Mass Transit Facilities Fund.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
