Description
Rural Transit Service is a non-profit transportation organization. Rural Transit Service provides safe, affordable and reliable transportation to seniors, low income and disabled clients to allow them to maintain a happier, healthier more independent lifestyle and heighten involvement in the community. Rural Transit’s success is predicated on the commitment of their volunteers, including drivers, dispatchers and driver aides; providing the transportation and scheduling. In twenty five years, due to the increasing need, Rural Transit has expanded its service area from two towns, with approximately one dozen volunteers to twenty five municipalities throughout Erie County with the help of over one hundred thirty volunteers and the need continues.
