RTA Participates in Anniversary of Dayton Peace Accords
Dayton, OH, played host to history 20 years ago and the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) helped to do so Nov. 18-21, when current and former world leaders gathered in the city to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords.
RTA was a sponsor for the celebration, which brought together heads of state to remember the 1995 conference at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base that marked the end of the Bosnia-Herzegovina War. The agency transported attendees—including foreign affairs ministers, mayors and ambassadors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia as well as local dignitaries—to luncheons (one of which featured a keynote speech by former President Bill Clinton), conferences and meetings on the University of Dayton’s River Campus.
“This is our chance to help roll out the red carpet for the world and show off our unique public transportation system,” said RTA Chief Executive Officer Mark Donaghy. “We’re proud of our people and the good work they do, day in and day out, to transport our citizens wherever they need to go.”
Donaghy continued: “It’s not every day we welcome world leaders onto our fleet, but I like to think we treat all of our passengers as the most important people in our world.”
