The Delaware Transit Corp. (DTC), in partnership with Via, launched DART Connect, the state s first on-demand microtransit service that will transform mobility in the rural communities of Georgetown and Millsboro in Sussex County, Delaware.
DART Connect is a pilot project funded under the Federal Transit Administration s Accelerating Innovative Mobility competitive grant program.
On-demand microtransit uses smaller vehicles to provide shared rides within 15 minutes of a ride request. DART Connect replaces the Flex Routes 901 and 902 which served fixed destinations throughout Georgetown and Millsboro on an hourly schedule. On the first day of launch, ridership on DART Connect surpassed the average daily ridership of the previous 901 and 902 Flex routes.
