Thank you to all the passengers, community leaders, and to the local media for the huge success of Get On Board for Public Transit Day! We were happy to see so many new faces on the buses and see public transportation highlighted on the TV and print news stations. We held a passenger outreach event at the CTC during the morning thanking passengers for riding. You can see all the photos taken on our Facebook Page.
