The agency also considered more than 90 public comments that were received over the course of a couple of months, she said.įuture service changes will depend on bus-driver staffing levels and will be structured to connect people to jobs, health care and education, Howard said. The RTA's service plan changes were developed after analyzing ridership data and identifying bus routes with low utilization, said Sharon Howard, a member of RTA's board of trustees. "Operating the same schedule seven days a week will make it more convenient for riders and better serve our community." "As more folks are working varied schedules, which often include weekends, RTA is changing to meet their changing needs," Ruzinsky said. The agency has long operated a weekday bus schedule, a Saturday schedule and a Sunday schedule. The RTA hopes to make another round of service changes this fall, including changing route schedules so buses operate at the same times seven days a week, Ruzinsky said. (every 60 minutes, instead of every 90), and Route 22 buses also will arrive slightly more frequently.Įarlier this year, RTA temporarily reduced service frequency for about 14 routes at a time of lower demand and fewer drivers, moving to a Saturday service schedule for every day except Sundays. Buses on these lines previously showed up at stops every 100 minutes.īuses on Route 11 also will show up more frequently Monday to Saturday until 6:30 p.m. RTA buses on routes 14, 16, 17, 18 and 19 will begin arriving every 50 minutes on Mondays through Saturdays, until 6:30 p.m. RTA also will realign routes 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 34 and 43, according to agency documents. The agency is permanently abolishing some bus routes that were temporarily eliminated during the pandemic nearly a year ago. The Greater RTA Board of Trustees this week approved some short-term and long-term service changes that will be implemented in phases, beginning on Sunday, June 19. "Our initial focus will be on better serving employment centers and medical facilities." "As RTA is able to hire new drivers, we will implement improvements to our services over the next 18 months," said Bob Ruzinsky, Greater Dayton RTA CEO. Greater Dayton RTA has permanently canceled about 10 bus routes that stopped running during the COVID pandemic and the agency will reconfigure about 11 other bus lines.Īgency officials say the most immediate impact of the changes will be increased service frequency on most current routes, and service frequency should increase even more if and when a labor shortage subsides.
