An Investment in a Better Tomorrow

Maintaining stable long term funding ensures the viability of CDTA and improves the quality of life in our region. CDTA currently has a $75 million dollar annual budget, 650 employees and operates 300 vehicles to serve 45,000 customers daily on 50 + routes throughout the Capital Region.

In 2008, CDTA experienced record high ridership increases prompted by high gas prices, a new marketing branding campaign and implementation of a fare simplification program to make riding easier. Because of the present impact from the global economic recession, leveling of gas prices, steep rise of unemployment, and reduced state and federal funding, this trend has turned around. CDTA, among its other transit counterparts nationally, is currently presented with serious challenges in its attempt to maintain operations, let alone implement necessary service improvements. Despite this challenge, CDTA is continually to moving ahead to help prepare for a better future.
