The partnership provides Stewart\u2019s Shops employees in the Capital Region with unlimited access to the CDTA route network. The pilot program, which began in August, allows them\u00a0 <\/span>to ride CDTA buses free of charge with just a swipe of their CDTA Navigator card.<\/p>\n
The program already has 150 people using the\u00a0 <\/span>benefit. The company anticipates that number to climb to nearly 1,000 in the coming months.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to welcome Stewart\u2019s Shops to our growing CDTA family,\u201d said CDTA CEO Carm Basile. \u201cUniversal Access lets tens of thousands of Capital Region employees, students, faculty and staff navigate to and from their designated destinations using everything that CDTA has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span>\u201cAdding Stewart\u2019s Shops to this expanding roster further reinforces our dedication to providing local businesses with new opportunities and advantages that guarantee a positive impact within the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to offer our Partners a reliable ride to and from work is yet another great benefit,\u201d said Stewart\u2019s Shops President Gary Dake. \u201cCDTA\u2019s Universal Access will provide free transportation for our partners and will have a positive impact on the environment. This added benefit will not only help with staff retention, but also with future recruitment.\u201d<\/p>\n
As CDTA\u2019s 50th anniversary year concludes, the partnership expands on its initiative to encourage community development within the region as they continue to broaden their signature transportation services and programs.<\/p>\n
Stewart\u2019s is the 25th employer to join the CDTA Universal Access program, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
