The Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) launched a new campaign on Monday, September 9 to spread awareness about Public Transit. This statewide initiative is designed to educate Virginians on the essential role public transit plays in creating connected, thriving communities and improving the quality of life for all residents.
Public transportation systems in Virginia offer more than just a ride; they connect people to jobs, education, healthcare, and recreational activities while also reducing traffic congestion and promoting a more sustainable environment. The "Connects Communities" campaign will highlight these benefits, aiming to increase awareness and usage of local transit options across the Commonwealth.
Central Virginia Commuter Services is teaming up with DRPT to share information about the benefits of taking transit and the local transit providers. For more information about this effort, visit the ConnectingVA website or contact Ada Hunsberger, Central Virginia Commuter Service's Program Manager at Ada.Hunsberger@CVPDC.org.
