How To Ride Class

Join the Greater Dayton RTA for a hands-on “How-to-Ride” class at Wright Stop Plaza, where new, current, and returning riders will gain skills and confidence to navigate Montgomery County’s public transit system. 

To create equitable access to RTA’s “How-to-Ride” class, sessions will be offered quarterly with multiple time options for riders to choose from. Participants are asked to register in advance due to the limited amount of seating. The class will cover what riders need to know, from what to do before boarding the bus to how to let the driver know you’re ready to exit at your stop. Topics of discussion will include Tapp Pay, fare and fare capping, trip planning via the Transit app, Google, and/or RTA’s website, as well as a brief overview of RTA services. 

When: Quarterly, with select evening sessions
Where: Multipurpose room at Wright Stop Plaza, 4 S. Main St., Dayton, Ohio 45402
Time: 6 p.m. - 7 p.m.
*Participants should arrive 15 minutes early

All classes will take place in the multipurpose room at Wright Stop Plaza, 4 S. Main St. Registered participants can enter through the side door of the concourse next to RTA’s parking lot located along Third Street. Signage will be posted indicating where to enter, and a transit ambassador will also be available to assist with directions.
