The opening of six new, high-tech bus stations around the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and College Town was celebrated today by Regional Transit Service (RTS) CEO Bill Carpenter, Representative Louise Slaughter and Peter Robinson, vice president and chief operating officer of URMC.

The RTS Transit Center was awarded the “2015 Project of the Year Award” in the $25 – 75 Million category by the Genesee Valley Branch of the American Public Works Association .

Regional Transit Service (RTS) is pleased to announce that Maggie Brooks has accepted an offer to become the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives.

RTS will provide free bus rides on New Year’s Eve beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 31, 2015, and will last until the final bus lineup at 1:00 a.m. on Friday, January 1, 2016.

Regional Transit System (RTS) CEO Bill Carpenter today released the following statement regarding the approval of a four-year contract by the Rochester City School District (RCSD) Board of Education.

RTS is applauding Congress’s passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which fully restores the 5340 High Density States Program transit funding.

RTS was joined today by Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, Commissioner Norman Jones from the Department of Environmental Services at the City of Rochester, and Heidi Zimmer-Meyer, President of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation to celebrate the one year anniversary of the RTS Transit Center.

Regional Transit Service (RTS) is calling on Congress to remove a provision from the Surface Transportation Bill passed this week by the House of Representatives that would eliminate a program that provides critical federal funding. The 5340 High Density States Program provides transit funding to the seven Northeastern states, including New York, that provide half of all public transportation in the United States.

Regional Transit Service (RTS) is thanking its customers for achieving the milestone of serving 10 million people at RTS Transit Center. The 10 million customer mark was reached on Sunday, November 1, 2015, less than one year since the opening of the facility on November 28, 2014.
