Records Requests
Purpose
It is the policy of the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) that openness leads to better informed citizenry, which leads to better government and better public policy. It is the policy of GDRTA to comply with the Ohio’s Public Records Act.
Definitions
The GDRTA, in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, defines records as including the following: any document—paper, electronic, or other format—that is created or received by, or comes under the jurisdiction of the GDRTA documenting the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, and/or other activities of the GDRTA. All records of the GDRTA are public unless they are subject to applicable exemptions from disclosure under Ohio law.
Guidelines for response
The requester must identify the records requested with sufficient clarity to allow the GDRTA to identify, retrieve, and review the records. If it is not clear what records are being sought, the records custodian must contact the requester for clarification.
The GDRTA may ask a requester to make a request in writing, for the requester’s identity, or inquire about the intended use but is not mandatory for the requester to provide its intended use.
Public records are available for inspection during regular business hours, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for holidays.
Request denials
Any denial of public records requested must include an explanation, including citation to legal authority. If portions of a record are public and portions are exempt, the exempt portions are to be redacted and the public portions released. If there are redactions, each redaction must be accompanied by a supporting explanation, including citation to legal authority.
Fees
Those seeking public records will be charged only the actual cost of making copies. The GDRTA may require the costs of copying and/or delivery to be paid in advance. The charge for downloading computer files to a compact disc is $1 per disc, or the cost of the USB drive or alternate device. If documents need to be mailed, the requester will be charged the cost of postage and mailing supplies.
