Methodology
APTA calculates the average cost of taking public transit by determining the average monthly transit pass of local public transit agencies across the country. This information is based on the annual APTA fare collection survey and is weighted based on ridership (unlinked passenger trips). The assumption is that a person making a switch to public transportation would likely purchase an unlimited pass on the local transit agency, typically available on a monthly basis.

A PETITION REGARDING THE LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM NORTH TEXAS CENTRAL COLLEGE
We, the students of North Central Texas College draw the attention of the public, and the esteemed members of the Corinth City Council to the following:
That DCTA buses Stop several miles outside of NCTC. If there was affordable transportation, more students would be able to attend, bringing more business to the city of Corinth. This would also reduce harmful car emissions and provide a convenient transport system for commuters.
THAT many residents of Denton and Corinth commute daily and have no other means of transportation besides driving. A better, cheaper transportation system would greatly benefit both towns’ economies and the environment.
THEREFORE this petition requests that the City of Corinth should implement bring DCTA transit buses to run from Denton to Corinth, enabling students and employees of NCTC to travel with greater ease to and from the school.
Sincerely,
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
