MONTGOMERY COUNTY — The Greater Dayton RTA is preparing expand their services in the new year.
A new North Community Connector is set to open on Jan. 8, 2023 in the northern part of Montgomery County, an RTA spokesperson announced Thursday.
The North Community Connector and adjusted Route 22 will be replacing Route 34. It will stretch from Union Road and Main Street in Trotwood, along Shiloh Springs, Shoup Mill and Needmore roads, before ending near the Kroger along Brandt Pike in northeast Dayton.

A spokesperson says the new connector will intersect with 10 other RTA routes.
The new connector is part of RTA’s transit redesign plan and will be the first of several future community connector routes.
The connectors will not come into downtown Dayton. Instead, they will predominantly travel east and west, north and south outside of the greater downtown area, according to a spokesperson.
“The RTA believes the North Community Connector, and the creation of other connectors to come, will ultimately create better connections and more direct access to jobs, health care, and education opportunities, providing an increase in transportation equity,” a spokesperson said in a release.
