New Public Transit System open in Woodward
The Red River Transportation Service, Woodward’s new public transit system which announced its opening to the public in November, is now offering in-town rides Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Customers can contact the “demand response” service, by calling 254-5482 and then the bus driver will come pick them up and take them where they need to go.
The rides are $1 per stop, he said, but senior citizens and those with disabilities can purchase a coupon for 25 rides at a discount of $17.50.
Brent Morey, executive director of Community Action Development Corporation which oversees the public transit organization, said Red River Transportation Service has been operating in Western Oklahoma since 1984 and currently provides services in 15 counties. He said he is also thankful for the support of the Woodward Chamber of Commerce as well as Sen. Owen Laughlin who encouraged him to expand the business into the Woodward area.
