Centro State Fair Shuttles Set Ridership Record |
Centro set a record for the number of rides provided to the annual New York State Fair from its Park-N-Ride shuttles in Onondaga, Cayuga and Oswego Counties.
Centro provided 243,226 rides on its three-county Park-N-Ride system, a 13% increase over
last year’s total of 214,765. The increase comes during a year in which overall State Fair attendance was essentially flat, increasing 0.2%.
“It’s become clear that more and more Central New Yorkers believe Centro is the way to go
to get to the State Fair,” said CNYRTA Executive Director Frank Kobliski. “Not only do our raw
numbers continue to increase, but the percentage of fair goers who choose Centro is increasing as
well.”
Centro’s service from the Regional Market continues to be most popular location for State Fair Park-N-Ride users, proving more than 60,000 rides, up 20% from last year. Increases were also seen at the Park-N-Ride locations at Downtown Syracuse (20%), Seneca Mall (10%), Shoppingtown Mall (25%) and the various services from Cayuga County (95) and Oswego County (34%).
