EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MATTHEW DUTKEVICZ
The future of transit in Butler County is at an exciting juncture. Since 2010, our team has taken Butler County Regional Transit Authority (BCRTA) from an on-demand service to a countywide service with lower fares. We have replaced our aging fleet, negotiated a long‐term operations contract with Miami University, implemented countywide curb-to-curb service, developed regional connections and significantly grown our ridership.
Through collaboration with our local and regional colleagues, we are moving BCRTA forward by providing mobile app payments and scheduling for the BGo Dial‐A‐Ride service and the implementation of regional mobile ticketing with Metro in Cincinnati and Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK).
As we continue to navigate an evolving landscape, our strategic vision becomes even more critical. BCRTA is at a pivotal decision point in our history and this strategic plan represents an ambitious and bold vision for our future.
The Leadership Team and Board thoroughly reviewed our past accomplishments, current state and future aspiration to provide the citizens of Butler County with the transit solutions needed to drive economic development, provide regional connectivity and deliver access for all. This detailed work produced a set of goals accompanied by a meticulous timeline, offering clarity on our plan’s our plan’s optimistic outlook.
This strategic plan, formulated after extensive deliberation and consultation, offers a holistic view of our aspirations, strategies and the road ahead.
As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in making BCRTA a beacon of excellence in the world of public transit.
