RTA holds public hearings to discuss proposed

fare increase
(DAYTON, OHIO)… The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will hold public hearings to collect feedback
regarding proposed changes to the agency’s fare structure. The public hearings will be held at Wright Stop Plaza on
April 17 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and April 18 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The RTA is looking to update its fare structure to reflect increasing costs of providing services. These proposed
changes would provide affordable daily and monthly caps through the RTA Tapp Pay fare payment system. The last
change to RTA’s fare structure was in 2018, when fixed route single ride adult fares increased from $1.75 to $2. The
last time RTA paratransit fares increased was 2009, when a single ride fare went from $3 to $3.50. The agency held
public hearings for proposed increases in 2022, but did not elect to make changes at that time.

The proposed fare changes are as follows:
