6 months in a row, everyone! 6 months in a row of trips over 11,000. 6 months in a row of new ridership records for each month in 2024. 70,960 trips served over 6 months, completing 59.96% of last year's record ridership already. I got even more good news! July 1st, Delaware County Transit launched it's extended hours of FLEX service within the City of Delaware! One of the highlights was serving nearly 200 trips on Saturday July 6th! This was DCT's first Saturday service in nearly 10 years and we are excited to see that ridership increase in the not-too-distant future! We can make many assumptions about the data and where DCT is going...but we have to pause for just a moment. The front half of 2024 has proven to be an immense success. With our expanded hours, and our pending microstransit zone within the City of Sunbury, Ohio....what will the back half of 2024 look like? I got some ideas but I am going to enjoy our successes for one night...then gear up for the second part of the year :)
