📚🎒 August means students are heading back to campus! At DRPT, we encourage college students to ride public transportation this year. It's not only safe, but it also gives you time to prep for a successful semester! Get ready to ace the first day, finish summer reading, and meet new friends on your ride. The opportunities are endless! 🚌✨ #BackToSchool #PublicTransit #StudentLife #DRPT

The Making Efficient and Responsible Investments in Transit (MERIT) program can cover operating, capital, demonstration project, and technical assistance efforts as well as workforce development initiatives. Do you have a transit project that you believe merits grant funding? Learn more about DRPT's MERIT program by visiting our website.

Many of the transit operators across the Commonwealth have apps you can use to plan your trip and stay in the loop about service status in real-time. ⏰🔁 If your commute is leaving you sad, maybe it's time to get app-y today. 📲 #DRPT #TransitApps #PublicTransit

The longest bus route in the world takes over 100 hours to travel and over 1,600 miles. 🌎✨ If you took Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" and then added the Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" you'd still have at least hundred miles left over..🥵 #DRPT #TriviaFriday

While the Virginia Breeze took over for the month, we’ve been doing what we love most: supporting our partners and public transportation! At DRPT, we love getting invited to special events! Whether it’s groundbreaking ceremonies or celebrations, we’re always thrilled to attend. 🥰 #DRPTDUMP July Edition! This month, we attended the Crystal City Metro Station East Entrance Groundbreaking Ceremony, celebrating the future of public transit. 🚇 We joined the festivities at Hampton Roads' 40th Anniversary of the VB Wave Trolley, where the energy was contagious! 🎉 And we enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere at GRTC's Block Party, connecting with the community and celebrating local transit. 🚌 With August bringing back-to-school vibes, we’re eager to see what the month holds! Stay tuned! 📝#DRPT #JulyPhotoDump

Did country music icon June Carter Cash love the Virginia Breeze so much that growing the family of our routes would be music to her ears? 🎶 There is no way in any shape or form that June Carter Cash rode the Virginia Breeze. You and I both know it. 😂 But someone just as wonderful did and loved it! 💖 Stay tuned for updates on our first west-east route, the Tidewater Current! 🚌✨
