On Thursday, March 1, San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) invites the public to attend a fun and informative event to launch the new Midtown Corridor, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Route 47. Scheduled to appear are City of Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, Community Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired Orientation and Mobility Specialist and RTD Director Joni Bauer, and RTD CEO Donna DeMartino. The theme of the launch event, “Reconnect from East to West” fosters the idea that RTD’s new Midtown Corridor service will play an integral role connecting residents and visitors to the city, from Franklin High School in the east all the way to the DMV in the west.
