Rabbittransit also recently became a member of the York County Hispanic Coalition in the spring of this year. According to rabbittransit’s 2014 Fixed Route Survey, 11 percent of riders identified themselves as part of a Hispanic demographic.
“More than 10 percent of our ridership is significant and we want to offer tools to enhance the experience for all of our riders,” comments Richard Farr, rabbittransit executive director.
