CDTA’s Ambassador Program
The CDTA Ambassador Program represents Phase Two of CDTA’s Fare Compliance Campaign, building upon the education and awareness efforts of Phase One, including the “Respect the Ride. Pay Your Fare.” initiative.
CDTA Ambassadors are not police officers and do not perform enforcement functions. Responsibilities include providing route, fare, and general CDTA service information; promoting a welcoming environment through visibility and engagement; and serving as a connection to community resources and coordinating with law enforcement or service providers when necessary.
“This program is reaching our riders in a convenient way for them,” said CDTA CEO Frank Annicaro. “Ambassadors will serve as a visible and positive presence on our buses — helping customers navigate the system, supporting our operators, and encouraging fare compliance through engagement and education. This is another step forward in ensuring our riders and employees feel supported every day.”
Fred Ferguson, president and CEO of the American Bus Association (ABA), discussed how the industry prepares for emergencies, the growing recognition of motorcoaches as critical infrastructure, and steps operators can take to strengthen disaster readiness.
