RTS will join with the Genesee Transportation Council, and local leaders and transportation partners to participate in the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) nationwide Stand Up 4 Transportation Day on Thursday, April 9 at 11 a.m. at the RTS Transit Center.

Today, leaders and advocates are calling on the New York State Legislature and Governor Cuomo to support critically-needed transit systems throughout New York State and ensure that the final budget includes both capital investment and additional operating aid for upstate, and downstate, systems.

Using public transportation can be a challenge for individuals with a disability or special need. That challenge can discourage some completely, further increasing their isolation and resulting in reduced independence.
