350,000 and Counting
In March 2006 Tri River Transit ridership passed the 200,000
mark. Ridership on our buses and non-emergency vehicles continues
to grow. Tri River Transit is on target to reach 300,000
passengers by the end of 2007. At the current pace it is an attainable
goal.
Ridership on the buses has grown every year since Tri River Transit's
inception in January 2000. For example, Tri River Transit
has already picked up over 2,500 more riders this year compared
to 2005.
