A grassroots initiative for Butler County transit
Moving Butler County Forward
Public transit plays a vital role in Butler County's economic strength, connecting residents to jobs, healthcare, education, and essential services while supporting local businesses and workforce development.
Why it matters
Public transportation is an investment in people, jobs, and community growth.
Butler County RTA is the largest transit system in Ohio that operates without local funding. Despite Butler County being the 7th most populous county in the state, the region remains behind its peers in developing and investing in public transit infrastructure.
The Moving Butler County Forward campaign is a critical initiative focused on securing stable, long-term funding for public transit services throughout Butler County. The campaign is centered on the passage of a continuing countywide sales tax to support the Butler County Regional Transit Authority (BCRTA) and important infrastructure.

BCRTA by the numbers
The challenge
Growing demand. Limited resources.
Today, 50% of on-demand ride requests cannot be fulfilled because of capacity constraints. Butler County's transit system operates without a dedicated local funding source, limiting its ability to expand and meet community needs.
Currently, BCRTA's funding primarily comes from the Federal Transit Administration, with approximately 43% provided through federal funding sources and 15% from the State of Ohio. The remaining revenue is generated through contracted services and passenger fares. Notably, BCRTA receives zero local operating funding from Butler County.
