With a New Year comes new Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) service changes. Effective Monday, January 11, 2021, DCTA will implement minor changes to its bus services to optimize route times and enhance on-time performance. The changes will better reflect traffic patterns and will affect all Denton and Lewisville Connect Bus routes, and all University of North Texas (UNT) Campus Shuttle routes.
