On-Demand “Dial-A-Ride” Service: Upgraded Security System
We changed from a scheduled fixed-route service to an On-Demand “Dial-A-Ride” service for stops that are not part of the Main Street route. This allows passengers to access those stops at times that are more convenient to them rather than having to plan their trips around a schedule that might cost them a significant amount of wait time.
•
Upgraded building security camera system from analog to high-resolution digital.
•
Added PA systems to the buses.
49,105 Total Rides in 2021 Thanks to the FTA CARES ACT, Roswell Transit has continued to receive 100% reimbursement of operating expenses (less passenger fares) throughout 2021. Administrative expenses were reimbursed 100% through September, and 80% from October through December.
