Safe, Affordable Transportation For All In Logan County

About Us:

RTC Transportation provides general public transportation service to all citizens and visitors of Logan County in a timely, courteous, and cost effective manner in order to improve their quality of life. We can take someone to work, a doctor’s appointment, the grocery store, and much more!

Transportation is provided throughout Logan County. Out of county service (within 100- mile radius of Logan County) is offered on a limited basis based on driver and vehicle availability.

We are a Door-to-Door Demand Response service offered to all citizens and visitors of Logan County regardless of age or income status. We transport ambulatory (those capable of walking) and non-ambulatory (those in wheelchairs); but cannot transport emergency or semi-emergency passengers, or those requiring transport in a reclining position. Persons requiring such transport will be referred to the local Emergency Medical Service (EMS). 

We provide transportation for children (under the age of 18) that must be arranged by a parent or legal guardian. All children under 6 must be accompanied by an adult. Infants and children under 3 years old and weighing less than 40 pounds must be secured in a child restraint seat provided by the parent/guardian; children 4 through 7 years and who weigh 40 pounds or more and who are shorter than 57 inches must be in a booster seat provided and installed by a parent/guardian. 

RTC Transportation also provides transportation to day programs and work for individuals eligible through a local county board of developmental disabilities. If you are eligible to receive these services, please contact your SSA for more information.
