Flyer hours extended to provide free transportation for UD Reunion on June 10

(DAYTON, OHIO)… More than 3,000 University of Dayton (UD) alumni are expected to make their way back to campus in mid-June for the school’s reunion weekend and the Greater Dayton RTA wants to help them get the full UD student experience.

On Saturday, June 10, 2023, the RTA is extending the hours of The Flyer. The Flyer will start operating at 11 a.m. instead of 4 p.m. and will continue to run until 12 a.m. The Flyer is the RTA’s free shuttle that provides fast connections for thousands of workers and students between downtown Dayton and the UD campus. The Flyer runs every ten minutes, with several buses circulating on the route.

The Flyer is frequently used by UD students to get to and from the Arcade Innovation Hub at the Dayton Arcade. By extending the hours of The Flyer service, alumni will be able to experience current campus life. Alumni will also be treated to tours of the Dayton Arcade and given information about local businesses and entertainment options downtown.

"We're always excited to show our alumni how UD has expanded opportunities for students beyond the traditional borders of campus," said University of Dayton President Eric F. Spina. "The Flyer has become a familiar part of campus life and opened up educational, cultural and recreational opportunities for our students to explore and experience downtown Dayton."
