RTA to extend service; ending promotional Tapp Pay rates

(DAYTON, OHIO)… The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is moving toward an improved service model that provides the same level of service seven days a week to meet the needs of customers, communities, and businesses beginning Sunday, August 14, 2022. In addition, the agency will be ending its promotional fare rates this fall.

To execute this vision, the RTA is extending its services hours from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Sunday, beginning August 14. All routes, with the exception of Route 55, will operate on the same schedule seven days a week, with service start and end times varying by route. More information regarding specific routes and their times will be released at a later time.

While fares will not be increasing, RTA will be ending its promotional rates it has been offering since April 2021 under its new fare system Tapp Pay, and return to regular rates effective September 5, 2022. That breakdown is as follows:
