Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) is currently seeking feedback from riders, businesses and the community on the future of fixed route, GoZone and fares. Efforts to analyze Connect Service, GoZone service and fare models are ongoing.
DCTA is considering updates to both service and fare models. The goal is to improve access to services and increase efficiency. What we are considering:
- Updating fixed routes to maximize efficiency and ridership.
- Updating GoZone service to improve access.
- Updating fares and pricing to best meet the needs of our passengers.
Everyone is welcome to provide feedback. We are particularly interested in hearing from current and former riders, social service agencies and clients, transit dependent riders and local employers. Results from the public comment period along with the analyses of fixed route and GoZone service are scheduled to be presented to the Board in June.
The public is invited to join us at one or more of our public meetings. Virtual Town Hall Meetings are scheduled for the following days:
- Monday, April 25 at 9 a.m.
- Friday, April 29 at noon
- Thursday, May 5 at 6 p.m.
- Tuesday, May 10 at 3:30 p.m.
Online meetings can be accessed by visiting dctafeedback.net.
An in-person meeting is being held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11 at the Downtown Denton Transit Center.
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.
