GRTC releases details about new microtransit service in Henrico

New microtransit service – akin to rideshare services like Uber and Lyft – is coming to portions of Eastern and Northern Henrico County, thanks to a $6.7 million initiative from the Greater Richmond Transit Company.

The service will start in the fall and will provide an on-demand system for travelers to book rides in real time and be picked up and dropped off in designated areas.

Modernizing ABC says counter-service stores are on their way out

Grabbing a bottle of Tito’s Vodka, Virginia’s favorite spirit, at Henrico County’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Store 331 means being greeted with tall, white Ionic columns surrounded by tastefully lit posters bearing words such as “cheers,” “gather” and “celebrate” – a stark contrast to Richmond’s ABC Store 251, where customers are greeted with aisles caged behind bulletproof Plexiglas.
