The agency attracted its strongest ridership gains aboard its combined bus services, as well as its GoZone on-demand rideshare service.
Since launching in September 2021, GoZone has become one of the most popular on-demand transit programs of its kind in the nation, with monthly ridership peaking at more than 77,000 rides in May 2023.
DCTA and Via celebrated the milestone by holding a ceremonial one-millionth ride and by honoring GoZone drivers at the Downtown Denton Transit Center.
Maurice Bell joined the organization as COO, and Sherrelle Evans-Jones is now on board as CFO. In addition, DCTA has brought on Bracey Goodwin IV as director, safety and compliance, as well as David Magaña to serve as director, marketing and communications.
Located in Lewisville, Texas, the joint facility is an expansion of the DCTA A-train Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF).
The board unanimously appointed Paul Cristina, Deputy CEO, as Interim CEO.
GoZone will provide safe, convenient, accessible, and affordable rides with limited wait times.
With revenue service scheduled for 2023, the 26-mile Silver Line project will traverse seven cities between DFW Airport, Grapevine, Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson, and Plano, and include 10 new stations.
Despite Gov. Gregg Abbott’s calls to ease the state’s COVID restrictions, agencies like DCTA and DART are keeping their focus on employee and passenger safety.
