Cottonwood County Transit

Affordable and reliable transportation for all Cottonwood County residents

 
Our friendly, courteous drivers are ready to take you where you want to go, to do what you want to do. We're here to serve you! Give us a try!

We strive to meet all county residents' needs and ask that riders make appointments for rides 24 hours prior to the needed ride to make the system function more efficiently. We appreciate consideration of this request.

We are not a taxi and cannot always guarantee instant service as we do provide transportation to all residents of Cottonwood County.

Riders should be ready and waiting 15 minutes before scheduled appointment/activity if within city limits.

If you need to cancel a scheduled ride, please do so as soon as possible. No shows only prevent the transit system from functioning as efficiently as possible. Services may be discontinued after two consecutive no shows.

The transit system has the right to use their discretion to close early if it proves to be more cost effective.
