How Does It Work?
Residents who are interested can call 1-866-813-0072 to schedule transportation. Public trips need to be scheduled 24 hours in advance and no later than 3:00pm the day prior to the trip. The reason for the early notice is so a coordinated schedule can be prepared and dispatched to the drivers for the next day.
There is a fare for all public transportation. The rates are different for in county transportation “which is transportation that originates and ends in the same county” than out of county transportation “which is transportation that originates in one county and ends in another”.
Public Transportation rates are as follows:
All rates are calculated from the origin of the pickup to the drop off destination.
In County Public Transportation
$5.00 for the first five miles “per round trip”.
$10.00 for six miles or more “per round trip”
Out of County Transportation
$0.80 cents per mile “per round trip”

Message from the Director
Usage for Fiscal Year July 2009 through June 2010
Another fiscal year has ended and the new grant year is underway. As always, we are continuously examining our public transportation services to determine how we can increase the availability of public transportation and improve services.
Public Transportation continues to explore avenues of expansion for our Intercity Transportation. We are involved in discussions with Greyhound with hopes of being a part of their Greyhound Rural Feeder program. By being a part of the Rural Feeder program, Greyhound will assist us in developing efficient routes to their bus stop in London. This could be a great benefit for the local citizens in our four county operating area, as it will give individuals who do not have reliable transportation the access to travel any Greyhound route at an affordable price from their home county.
We look forward to continuing to provide safe, efficient public transportation service four communities.
