Effective Monday, March 14, Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) will implement the following service changes to better reflect traffic patterns, better optimize the in-between round route times and adjust routes to better align the coverage area to be used in conjunction with GoZone on-demand rideshare service. This will also help with the adherence to the schedule so passengers should see better on-time performance with more roundtrips and more frequent trips.
