Ownership and Management
As a public service company, GRTC is owned equally by the City of Richmond and neighboring Chesterfield County. Henrico County and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) currently purchase services from it, but hold no ownership interest.
GRTC itself has no employees, and it has always been managed, staffed, and operated by a private transit management company, as was its predecessor, Virginia Transit Company (VTC).

Famous quotes containing the words ownership and/or management:

Has mapped Tellico and Bald Rivers
And North River, with the tributaries
Brookshire Branch and Sugar Cove Creed:
A fishy map for facile fishery....”
