Profile
The Southern Oklahoma Rural Transportation System began operations in 1985. Since that time, they have expanded full services to the four counties of Bryan, Carter, Coal and Love with an approximate population available to use the service of 120,000. The program has expanded in other areas with limited service, such as Johnston, Murray, Marshall and Garvin counties. The program currently offers demand responses service with contract transportation provided for work routes, medical routes and rural routes meeting the needs of the entire area. Special transportation service for schools and Vocational Technical centers are available along with area special events. All areas are served by both standard and wheelchair accessible vehicles.
