Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) is updating fare and service models to better meet the transportation needs of the public and encourage multimodal trips in Denton County.
The goals of these updates are to redesign DCTA’s fixed routes to better serve our riders and configure the GoZone service to better integrate with fixed route. Several potential fare models will be assessed as well - from a flat fare to a distance-based fare and including a hybrid fare model. DCTA wants to encourage efficient trips that get people where they want to go, when they want to go and for a fare that makes sense. DCTA riders represent a diverse community with a variety of needs. Finding the right mix of service and fare options is critical to everyone.
Beginning Monday, April 18, a series of public meetings will be held in person and virtually in Denton, Lewisville and Highland Village. Dates, times and locations of in-person meetings will be communicated once they are scheduled. Virtual Town Hall Meetings are scheduled for the following days:
- Monday, April 25
- Friday, April 29
- Thursday, May 5
- Tuesday, May 10
The meetings provide an opportunity to speak with individual DCTA staff members and other attendees to better understand the options and share feedback. Staff will also be available to take comments at community outreach events, online at dctafeedback.net, and by survey. Public feedback will be presented to the board this summer for consideration. The public comment period wraps up on Tuesday, May 17.
For a presentation during the public comment period or for special accommodations due to a disability, language translation needs and to request printed copies of information discussed, contact Mary Worthington at least 72 hours prior to the meeting at mworthington [at] dcta.net () or 972-316-6121.
More information, including a schedule of events, will be available online at dctafeedback.net beginning Monday, April 18. The public comment period runs through Tuesday, May 17.
