Freedom Transit is updating its transit development plan, a five-year plan to enhance our fixed route and shared ride services. We’re focused on growing ridership, reducing inefficiencies, and your input is key to shaping the future of transit in our community! Feel free to invite your friends, family, or anyone who utilizes transit.

Why They Ride! Every rider has a story, and Freedom Transit plays a part in their everyday lives:



  • VJ: "I ride to go grocery shopping (Walmart and occasionally Big Lots) and even when I had my car I still rode the bus!"
  • Monica: "You all are a blessing. When I started using Freedom Transit, I lived in Eighty Four, and I had no way to work. I found you and my life has completely turned around. I can go to the doctor, the store. I will be forever grateful. Thank you"
