Reliable transportation services are critical to transit dependent residents in Buncombe County. Mountain Mobility will assist in maintaining livability standards throughout Buncombe County by growing ridership among all residents. As a choice destination for many older adults, Buncombe County will likely see an increased need for public transportation services catered to new residents as well as existing ones, and Mountain Mobility is prepared to meet the increased demand with anticipated ridership increases of more than 1% per year.

Tracking recidivism for a new charge and order for arrest for failure to appear is crucial in understanding the impacts of many aspects of the justice system. For example, if a change in made at the front end of the justice system (e.g. implementing a new risk assessment tool) that informs release decisions, recidivism helps to identify what impact such a change has on an individual's likelihood of returning to custody for a new charge.
This is not a Buncombe County Strategic Plan Goal, but watching this metric informs how county goals are pursued.
