RTA Meeting About Greyhound Aug 25th

By Bruce Kettelle

The Greater Dayton RTA is hosting a public meeting on Tuesday August 25th at 7pm in RTA’a Northwest Maxi Hub, 2075 Shiloh Springs Rd. Representatives of Greyhound Lines, Inc will be on hand to talk with citizens about their Dayton operating hub’s relocation to Trotwood in the coming months.

RTA has signed a five-year agreement to provide space at the Trotwood Maxi Hub to accommodate Greyhound’s interstate bus service. RTA will provide ticketing and boarding services for Dayton passengers.

Some Trotwood residents have objected to the move fearing increased traffic and crime will negatively impact nearby residential neighborhoods. RTA executive director Mark Donaghy hopes to answer questions about their objections and explain how RTA will operate the station for Greyhound.

Currently Dayton’s Greyhound station handles 11 to 15 busses daily. According to Greyhound officials the total count of daily buses may increase during peak periods such as holidays. During those times there may be an additional 4 or 5 busses daily. Currently over 300 RTA busses use the hub daily.

RTA officials are expected to reveal their plans to make some updates to the facility including the addition of a restaurant.

Totally Trotwood will be at the meeting. If you have questions about the facility leave them in the comments section below and we will try to get those questions answered.
