Frederick County’s Transit Services reached its goal of 700,000 riders for fiscal year 2023, marking a slight bounceback from low ridership levels during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fiscal year 2023, which ran from July 1, 2022, through the end of June, was the first since 2015 during which Transit Services of Frederick County reached its ridership target. Official numbers for the fiscal year are still being compiled, but the department met its goal by fewer than 100 riders, according to Mary Dennis, a communications manager for the transit service.
