New pricing approved for public transit
Press release:
The RGRTA Board of Commissioners approved a new value pass structure at the March 3rd Board meeting to make it easier for RTS customers to enjoy the ride in and between Genesee, Livingston, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne and Wyoming counties. The pass changes will go into effect on April 1 and are as follows:
Previous Value Pass
New Value Pass
$9 Cost – $10 Value
$10 Cost – $11 Value
$17 Cost – $20 Value
$20 Cost – $23 Value
Because RTS operators are not able to make change on the bus (per RTS policy), buying value passes require the customer to have the exact dollar amount. At $10 and $20 dollar increments, the new value passes offer the same added value while requiring our customers to have a standard dollar amount. Also making it more convenient for our customers is that the same value pass is good in all seven of our Regional counties.
In Wyoming County, the 10-Ride Loop, Dial-a-Ride Half Fare and Dial-a-Ride passes will be replaced with value pass options that can be used in neighboring counties.
Prior to being approved by the RGRTA Board of Commissioners, RTS held public information sessions and public hearings in each county where the public had the opportunity to submit their comments and questions. RTS also welcomed comments and questions from the public online and through the mail.
