Man on bus with text "Service and Schedule Changes Effective August 24, 2020"

August is bringing service and schedule changes to the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). Effective Monday, August 24, DCTA will implement service and schedule updates that will affect Denton and Lewisville Connect Bus service, University of North Texas (UNT) Campus Shuttles and the Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) Evening On-Demand Zone. The DCTA Board of Directors will review plans to increase the A-train schedule during the August board meeting. If approved, changes to the A-train schedule would be made in late September.

Below are select service modifications that will be made on Monday, August 24. To view the comprehensive August 2020 service changes, visit RideDCTA.net.

Denton Connect Bus

Denton Connect Routes 4 and 7 schedules will be updated to pre-COVID-19 service levels with a 30-minute headway during peak hours and 60-minute headway during off-peak hours. The schedules for Routes 3 and 6 were updated to enhance on-time performance. The schedules for Routes 1 and 2 will remain the same as they are currently. Routes 5 and 8 will no longer operate.

Lewisville Connect Bus

Lewisville Connect Route 21 and Route 22 schedules will be updated to pre-COVID service levels with a 30-minute headway during peak hours, 60-minute headway during off-peak hours and better A-train connectivity at the Hebron and Old Town stations.

Train the Trainer Roundtable This Month

Get ready for the first Train the Trainer Roundtable Advisory Committee meeting! Join us at 9:30 a.m. on August 20 via zoom where we will introduce the DCTA Travel Training program to committee members and provide an opportunity to review training material.

The purpose of the Travel Training program is to train qualified individuals as Travel Trainers so they can then instruct persons with disabilities, older adults and others on how to independently use DCTA Connect fixed routes and A-train services for regularly visited destinations.

If you are interested in being on the advisory committee, please contact Mary Worthington, Community Relations Manager, by clicking the button to the right.
