MANSFIELD — Richland County Transit (RCT) is celebrating Ohio Loves Transit Week with a goody bag giveaway for riders.
On Wednesday, Feb. 14, all RCT passengers who ride Dial A Ride or any of the nine fixed routes will be offered a free RCT shopping bag with surprises inside, while supplies last.
The event is sponsored by RCT in partnership with the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging.
During Ohio Loves Transit Week, which runs Feb. 11 through Feb. 17, transit agencies around Ohio highlight their impact in the communities they serve.
Transit agencies like RCT keep communities moving, connecting friends and neighbors to essential jobs, medical appointments, education, shopping and more.
