Public transit offers important service to small city residents

  • Date: 06/15/2024

Public transit makes an important difference in communities the size of Marshall (Minnesota), and that’s something I know from personal experience.

I will be a transit customer for about a month in August and September . It’s due to hip surgery, which will mean 30 days of driving restriction.

I’d consider it a hardship if it weren’t for the fact that Marshall’s United Community Action transit division is such a great service. They did an awesome job for me in 2021 when my right hip was replaced. I’m confident that again in 2024 monthly transit passes will meet my transportation needs.

Some residents in both rural and urban areas are dependent on public transit because of permanent disabilities. Others are people with limited financial resources who can’t afford to have a vehicle.
