What You Need To Know

  • Free rides will be applied to fixed-route and paratransit on Thursday, Nov. 27
  • RTA said one of the events is the Feast of Giving, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dayton Convention Center

Free rides will apply to fixed-route and para-transit on Thursday, Nov. 27.

“We’re incredibly grateful that RTA is supporting the return of the Feast of Giving. In past years, less than 50% of our attendees came by car,” said Jason Woodard, co-chair of the Feast of Giving. “The free rides offered by RTA on Thanksgiving Day make our event accessible to everyone. This is incredibly important because our event is a celebration of our community – not just a free meal, but live music, dancing, kids’ entertainment and fellowship in a warm, safe environment.”

RTA said one event is the Feast of Giving, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dayton Convention Center, which will provide free meals to attendees. The event has been on pause since 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Riders are encouraged to use the Transit app or the RTA’s website to plan their Thanksgiving Day events.
