The <strong>expanded service includes 19 unique stops in the downtown Albany area<\/strong>, accommodating the city\u2019s bustling tourist season. It will take customers to several different designated stops including hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and more. CDTA is working with Discover Albany and the Downtown Improvement District to support tourist mobility needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CDTA used\u00a0<strong>New York State Innovative Mobility Initiative\u00a0(\u201cIMI\u201d) funding<\/strong> to support the initial deployment.

The beauty of flexible transit is that it works for everyone \u2013\u00a0no matter your trip purpose or destination \u2013 and it will make getting around Albany much easier for visitors,\u201d said <strong>James Cox<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer, TRC. \u201cResponding to the needs of all riders will bolster mobility in Albany, and support economic development in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Routing Company announces the expansion of Capital District Transportation Authority\u2019s (\u201cCDTA\u201d) FLEX+ on-demand transit service.
