Route 7 and 8 combined serve west and northwest Dayton and parts of north Kettering, officials said. “That’s the future we at RTA would like to see.” “Imagine this Flyer-like service in every Dayton neighborhood,” said Mark Donaghy, Greater Dayton RTA’s CEO, who is retiring in less than two months.
