BCRTA was created by the Butler County Commissioners in 1994...

As a public agency in accordance with Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 306;

To be governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Butler County Commissioners;

With the intention of resulting in a coordinated transportation program that better meets the needs of the residents of the county to:

• Provide access to health and human and services programs
• Better foster the economic development and vitality of the county by providing better access to jobs, education, shopping, government services
• Conserve energy and reduce pollution.
• As the designated grantee (designated by the Ohio Governor) for federal and state transportation funds within the Cincinnati Urbanized Area of Butler County.
• BCRTA serves as a broker of transportation services for various county boards and agencies that wish to contract with the BCRTA to manage their transportation needs.

The Transit Alliance of Butler County, a nonprofit organization and subsidiary of the BCRTA, serves to advise on unmet transportation needs for citizens, agencies and businesses, advocates for local support, and provides a forum to facilitate and demonstrate collaboration of resources.
