RTA highlights the importance of public transit during Ohio Loves Transit Week
DAYTON, OHIO)… The Greater Dayton RTA and 65 other public transportation agencies from across Ohio are joining forces to highlight the importance of public transit during Ohio Loves Transit Week, Feb. 9-15.
During Ohio Loves Transit Week, the RTA is encouraging all riders to show their love and support for public transit by filling out a valentine. Those valentines will then be shared with state lawmakers. The valentines, along with collection boxes, will be available at all five RTA transit centers: Wright Stop Plaza, Northwest Transit Center and the Westown, Eastown and South hubs. Customers will also have the option to fill out a valentine online at www.iriderta.org/OhioLovesTransit.
Throughout the week, the RTA will be posting fun facts about the agency and Ohio public transit on its social media pages. There will also be a trivia game with people being able to win RTA swag items.
Last year, the RTA gave more than 6 million rides, connecting more than 20 communities – proving public transportation is an essential lifeline for the community by providing access to jobs, medical appointments, education and more. Ohio transit provides more than 71 million trips each year.
With more than 65% of RTA riders traveling to jobs, RTA continues to meet the daily mobility needs of Dayton’s booming economic sector by partnering with communities and businesses to connect in-demand workers to jobs. Public transit is a critical part of connecting employers and individuals without access to their own vehicles.
Transit drives Ohio’s economy, with statistics showing that every $1 invested in public transit generates $4 in economic return. Whether it is getting to area shopping centers, local airports, libraries, parks, bike trails, or countless other destinations, Ohio transit can get you there.
