does provide vehicle maintenance to vehicles used by
participating agencies.
Comaonent (1\. by July 1989 have all County agencies and
other partiCipating agencies in the transportation system
schedUling vehicles through the Transportation Department.
comments! The majority of vehicles are located at the
Mental Health Center and Harnett Production Enterprises.
Each agency provides the Transportation Oepartment with
schedules of when VehiCles are used. The Transportation
Department can schedule the use of these vehicles by other
agencies. The Transportation Department has been limited in
its ability to coordinate and schedule vehicles within the
service delivery of the TDP due to the lack of a
Transportation Coordinator's position with a 100' commitment
to transportation. The ~ransportation Coordinator's
position within the Harnett county Transportation/
Procurement Department has had responsibilities outside of
transportation. This has been a major obstacle for the full
implementation of the County's Updated 1987 Transportation
Development Plan. The County has approved a full-time
Transportation Coordinator's position to be inoluded in its
FY 1992 budget.
Com~onen~ IA\ by July 1990 the Transportation Department
will own, operate and maintain vehicles, schedule vehicles
and provide drivers to meet the transportation needs of
County human service programs/agencies.
Comments! Prior comments have addressed the Trahsportation/
Procurement Department's ownerShip: operation and
maintenance: and scheduling of vehicles. These comments
have not addressed drivers. Without a full-time
Transportation Coordinator, the County has not been able to
develop a ooordinated system that will enable Harnett county
to provide drivers. Also the physical location of Harnett
PrOduction Enterprises (Dunn) is a major obstacle to the
full implementation of the TOP - including driver
utilization. The Transportation/ Procurement Offioe is in
the process of phasing in part-time drivers. It is hoped
that this will lead to the use of full-time driver
positions.
Major products that have been produoed are:
1. The Harnett County Transportation/Procurement Department has
been designated and given authority to act as the County's
lead transportation aqenoy.
2. A full-time transportation system director's position has
been created and placed in the Harnett County
Transportation/Procurement Department.
3. Vehicle ownership/control 1s under the Harnett County
Transportation/Procurement Department. - --
- - - ---.- -

4. County maintenance of vehicles.
5. Scheduling of vehicles through the Transportation/
Procurement Department.
6. Acquisition of new vehicles to replace older vehicles with
high mileage and maintenance costs and to provide adequate
system backup.
The following major objectives have been met:
-The TDP system to collect data has been consolidated.
-A lead agency (Harnett county Transportation-procurement
Department) has been authorized to implement and refine through
direct involvement the implementation, administration of the
transportation system including control of vehicles, scheduling of
vehicles and provision of drivers through the Harnett County
Transportation-Procurement Department.
-A fUll-time staff position has been authorized to be placed in
the Harnett County Transportation-Procurement Department for FY
1992. The responsibility of this position will be to implement
the county's transportation program for human service agencies
participation.
-Driver positions have been included in the County's FY 1992
budget.
II. 1991 TBANSPORTATIOR DBVBLOl'KBft PLAH GOALS >>m OBJBCTIVES
Harnett County has made great strides in implementing its 1987
Transportation Development Plan. Its inability to fUlly meet the
proposed service design has been due to three major factors: (1)
the responsibilities given the Transportation Coordinator position
included procurement work, (2) Henly-Roberts decision to not
participate in the TDP and (3) the physical location of Harnett
PrOduction Enterprises facility.
With the Transportation Coordinator position inclUding procurement
activities, the Coordinator was not able to devote
adequate time to implementing the interactions of participating
agencies. The departure of Henly-Roberts resulted in a major
source of vehicles in central Harnett not beinq available tor
system-wide use. The deletion ot these vehicles results in the two
major sources of vehicle utilization beinq Harnett Mental Health
and Harnett Production Enterprises.
Harnett PrOduction Enterprises with approximately sot of the
systems vehicles is located 1n Dunn (eastern portion of the
County) . This results in vehicles being available for use but at
a location that is not advantageous for system-wide utilization.
Harnett County's Amended Transportation Development Plan goals and
objectives for 1991 follow.
Goals
1. Make the Harnett County Transportation/Procurement
Department's coordinated transportation delivery system more
effective.
2. Upgrade the transportation fleet.
3. Update the Transportation Development Plan to enable a
continuation of consolidation efforts beginning in 1992.
ob;eet:iveB
1. Employ a full-time Transportation Coordinator that will
devote 100% of time to the implementation and further
development of Harnett county's Transportation System.
2. Begin to employ part-time drivers to provide transportation
for participating agencies.
3. Seek 16(b) (2) assistance to meet vehicle needs.
4. Enter into a contract ~ith a consultant to update the
County's TDP and have TOP adopted by end of the year.
(5)
2 1 1
Activities
1. Adv.e:1:til:iC, luLl::JLVlt:llw and t!ll the lull-time 'J:ranspon:at:1on
Coordinator's position contained in the County's FY 1992
budget.
2. Advertise and fill drivers positions.
3. Initially have the Transportation coordinator direct efforts
to work with Harnett Mental Health and Harnett Production
Enterprise to have the Transportation Department develop
fixed routes/fixed schedUles.
4. The Transportation coordinator will explore the feasibility
of hirinq drivers and allowinq drivers to oriqinate,
terminate trips from their place of residence. It is felt
that this activity could result in a greater utilization of
vehicles - especially those used by Harnett Production
Enterprises. Between the morning and afternoon schedule, as
well as at night the vehicle and driver would be in a
position to serve additional transportation system needs.
5. The Department of social Services will initially use private
vendors for its Job Service and Medicare transportation
needs. The Department throuqh the Transportation
Coordinator shall make efforts to shift Job Service and
Medicare transportation from private vendors to the Harnett
County Transportation Department.
III. NIlE)) J'OR 1& (b) (2) USIBTlUfC!l
CUrrent data on the County's current transportation fleet is
attached as is its proposed Vehicle Rehabilitation and
Replacement Chart. The estimates of transportation needs
contained in the County's TDP have remained constant. The
updated TDP will take into aocount the County's service delivery
as it becomes more efficient. The vehicles being requested for
replacement are needed to maintain the existinq system's need and
will be taken into account when assessinq the system's need for
upcolDing years.
NOTES:
1. Rehabilitated 1986
2. Rehabilitated 1989
3. Rehabilitation has been started - 1990 (Gradual)
