Charlottesville Transit Service (CTS) is a public agency that operates several bus lines throughout Charlottesville and Albemarle County. In 1999, a free trolley service was initiated between downtown and the University of Virginia.
Under a pre-paid arrangement between CTS and the University of Virginia, UVa photo IDs of students, faculty, and staff are accepted as fare on all CTS buses.[1].
The current CTS director is Bill Watterson.
Ridership
Ridership is measured on the fiscal year ended June 30. For 2009, CTS reported ridership of 2,012,462, an 18% increase in boardings over the previous year. UVa boardings represented nearly 30% of the total.[1].
Future plans
Planning is currently being guided by the Charlottesville Transit Development Plan[2]. In 2010, CTS plans to begin operating hybrid fuel buses[1].
