DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Greater Dayton RTA said it doesn’t have the staffing, resources, or time to provide direct buses and routes for Dayton High School students.
The bus company released a statement on Thursday, July 10. It said it will follow state/federal laws concerning public transportation due to the recent change in the state legislation.
“RTA wants to be a partner in helping craft a solution to get kids to school but does not have the capacity to restart direct Limited Stop bus services similar to those we were contracted by Dayton Public Schools to provide in 2019,” said Bob Ruzinsky, RTA CEO. “RTA faces the same bus driver shortages that most school districts do.”
