Union County's approach to moving its community isn't just about getting from point A to point B; it's about doing so with a heart. This vision for transit was highlighted in a recent feature by Business View Magazine, giving some well-deserved props to Union County Transportation (UCT) for its dedication to connecting residents to essential spots throughout the county.
UCT isn't your average transit system. With over 400 daily passengers and a fleet of 25 vehicles, they've implemented technology upgrades to shore up the efficiency and reliability of its scheduling, as pointed out in the magazine feature. That's not all – they're also adopting cleaner transportation options with propane-powered vehicles. But it's the human touch that sets UCT apart. "Our County is about 640 square miles," Theresa Torres, Union County's Transportation Director, told Business View Magazine. "We travel all over Union County."
UCT is making sure residents of all ages and abilities can claim their bit of independence. Whether it's a ride to the doctor or a trip to the grocery store, the service is available to anyone aged 16 and up and to children under 16 accompanied by an adult. If you've been wondering if you can snag a lift with one of those blue-and-white vans, the answer is definitely "UCanGo!" Securing a ride is seamless; Union County residents can apply and schedule their trips with just a few clicks or a phone call.
The perks of Union County's commitment to mobility extend beyond just convenience. Their drivers aren't only focused on safety; they're trained in compassion to ensure every passenger feels cared for from departure to arrival. It's an affordable service with most costs being absorbed through county budgets and grants, a clear sign that the region values connecting its people just as much as they value saving on the ever-present fuel bill.
It's never too late to join the myriad of passengers taking advantage of Union County's progressive transportation services. Interested residents can get more details, check out eligibility, and book their next ride by visiting the Transportation webpage – making independence just a few clicks away.
