LUMBERTON — When it comes to navigating some of the area’s narrow roadways, bigger is not always better.

The Robeson County Board of Commissioners on Monday requested more information from Linda Mack, the director of the Southeast Area Transit System, before acting on a revised driving policy requiring transit drivers not to drive down any roads they determine to be unsafe. The board will not act on the issue until the information is provided.

The policy is not specific enough, according to County Manager Ken Windley, who said that some residents are unhappy that some of the larger transit vehicles are not driving down their narrow roads to pick them up. Some of these vehicles, Windley said, are just too large to safely navigate these roadways.

“Maybe there would be damage to the vehicle or someone’s property,” Windley said. “Maybe someone would be run over.”

County officials are especially concerned because Southeast Area Transit System provides transportation for low income and disabled county residents. Over the years, many of the clients have been transported directly from their homes.

Commissioner Jerry Stephens said that he is concerned that many of the elderly and disabled would have to get to a single pickup point if there is no door-to-door transportation.

“People are used to being picked up at their homes,” he said. “We have been doing this for years and they are used to it.”

Commissioner Raymond Cummings, who serves on the Southeast Area Transit System’s board, said it is trying to get away from being a door-to-door system and is working toward becoming a mass transit organization.
