GDRTA Picks ConnXAI Maestro to Unify Transit Rider Communications

Plainsboro Township, N.J. – October 05, 2026 -- Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) has selected ConnXAI to deploy its Unified Customer Communications Platform, powered by ConnXAI MaestroTM, to merge fixed-route, paratransit and customer-service data into a single operational layer.
