The Razorback Transit system at the University of Arkansas received an Award of Achievement from the Federal Transit Administration for showing the highest percentage ridership growth in the state last year. During fiscal year 2009 a total of 1,335,124 passengers rode the Razorback Transit bus lines; in fiscal year 2010 that number jumped to 1,572,101, a 17.7 percent increase for the fiscal year.
