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:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
