Transit officials highlighted how decentralized housing developments and lower-density communities create significant challenges for providing efficient public transportation. To address these growth patterns, the transit agency collaborates with local jurisdictions during their comprehensive planning processes to ensure new developments accommodate transit needs early on. However, a widespread lack of connected pedestrian infrastructure—specifically continuous sidewalks and ADA-compliant stops—remains a major barrier to integrating these growing neighborhoods into the broader transit network.

44:37 >> I'll speak to the current, for the current, for someone else, we have that happen quite regularly for folks that may have a child or a dependent that they are planning a trip for. >> For CBAN, we also have people that book for other people who are unable to do it for themselves, as long as they have some sort of notice and permission from that person in our system that they can do that for them. >> Hi, thank you so much. I'm writing so many notes. I'm learning so much. With the spread of these massive housing developments now, do the housing developers ever approach you to do, you know, cohesive planning together, or are you always kind of behind the ball on that?
45:36 >> I like to think that we're working well together. It can always be improved, but we do work with all of our jurisdictional partners during their comprehensive planning processes and their transportation planning processes so that we can get ahead of the curve and be ready for those developments. That being said, those developments do go in sporadically in different places, and kind of the decentralization of the population within the county is certainly one of the bigger challenges that we need to address, because most of our services are along a corridor, and in some places they've been along that corridor for a long time, and a large development going in nearby but not directly adjacent to that corridor can be quite a challenge to appropriately serve, both in terms of making sure that we're providing access to those developments, but also ensuring
46:35 that we're not sacrificing the service of people that have had transit access for a long time. As those developments are going in, we absolutely do work with them to make sure that we have things like accessible bus stops within those developments and access to the bus stop from pathways within a community as they're working
