Regional Transit Service (RTS) today announced that it will adjust its service to operate Dial-A-Ride public transit service only in Ontario, Seneca and Wayne Counties starting Monday, April 6, 2020. This shift is to help protect RTS employees and customers, and help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

Starting Friday, March 20, we will temporarily waive the requirement that customers pay a fare to ride the bus. The waiving of fares will be in place at least through Sunday, April 19, 2020 or until the current State of Emergency is lifted, whichever comes first. Customers will now use the rear door to enter and exit 40- or 60-foot buses. Customers with mobility limitations who need to use the ramp to board the bus will still be able to do so through the front door by signaling the bus operator.

 Following State of Emergency declarations this weekend in every county RTS serves, and confirmation of the second case of Coronavirus in Monroe County, RTS released the following information today.
