Forsyth County's public transportation service "Dial-A-Ride" is being renamed to "Access Forsyth" in a rebranding effort.
The county announced the move in a release Tuesday, saying the goal of the rebranding is to more accurately describe the services provided.
“The rebranding of Dial-A-Ride to Access Forsyth provides an umbrella name to cover not only our current demand-response service but also any future services we might provide,” Director of Public Transportation Roy Rickert said. “We also wanted a name that better described the goals of the system, which is to provide safe, accessible transportation for the Forsyth community.”
The county Access Forsyth is looking to offer new features and services including an improved reservation system, a mobile phone application, pre-trip reminders and a new routing software. The county is hoping to implement those new features over the coming year.
Dial-A-Ride has been a reservation-based transportation service. More information on the new Access Forsyth service can be found on the county's website.
