The fixed route service, which in 2007 became formally <br />known as the GoLine, is free and available to all riders. There are currently eleve-fifteen routes <br />that operate countywide. These routes are depicted in Figures 4.5A 4.5K. ,Five of those routes <br />have limited service on Saturdays. <br />In April 2017, the Main Transit Hub moved into its new permanent <br />facility, located in Vero Beach on the south side of 16th Street adjacent to the FEC Railroad. <br />Seven GoLine routes connect at the Main Transit Hub, and the hub facility is used by <br />approximately 800 passengers each day. <br />Since the county's transit system was established, ridership has increased each year.

As shown on Table 4.3B, two TQLOS <br />indicators, Transit Frequency and Hours of Operation, were both at LOS E and LOS F. In terms <br />of the Travel Time level of service measure, there were variations between different routes on <br />the system, ranging from "B" on routes with little traffic and few -a couple of stops to "D" <br />for routes in the Vero Beach area; the average system -wide score was LOS B. The other <br />components of TQLOS are: Passenger Loading of transit vehicles, which was at ranged from <br />LOS A to LOS C; Reliability, which was at LOS CLOS A. and Service Coverage, which was at <br />LOS A. <br />Community Development Department <br />Indian River County 36 <br />APPENDIX A — Transportation Amendments <br />
