The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) has recognized Greater Richmond Transit Company’s (GRTC) RideFinders division as an Accredited Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Organization.

GRTC’s RideFinders division is one of the nine organizations nationwide to earn this inaugural designation, which honors industry leaders committed to building a more efficient transportation system and enhancing travel options through innovative mobility solutions.

Cherika Ruffin, Executive Director of GRTC’s RideFinders, shared his thoughts that the  achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of both GRTC and RideFinders.

“Earning the TDM accreditation is a testament to GRTC’s commitment to advancing sustainable transportation solutions in our region. We are proud to be recognized for our leadership in transportation demand management and remain committed to helping commuters make smarter, greener travel choices,” said Ruffin.

As part of the accreditation process, RideFinders submitted detailed documentation highlighting its Commuter Assistance Strategic Plan, enhanced transit program, and expanded outreach efforts. GRTC’s accreditation will remain in place for three years, after which GRTC must demonstrate ongoing efforts to renew its status.
