Richland Hills bus service and MITS paratransit service to end after Nov. 23

On Nov. 8, 2016, Richland Hills residents voted to discontinue Fort Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA) services. On Nov. 22, 2016, the Richland Hills City Council is expected to certify the results. If that occurs, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016, will be the last day for FWTA to provide bus service or MITS paratransit service for persons with disabilities in Richland Hills, per Texas Transportation Code Sec. 452.

Trinity Railway Express services are not impacted by the election and will continue.
