Mountain Line CEO Dave Bruffy said the transit authority didn't initially know what to expect as a participant in the State Opioid Response Program, or SOR.
An initiative of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration and the West Virginia Public Transportation Association, the program enlisted the state's 18 transit systems to provide rides for individuals with opioid use disorder who are seeking treatment and recovery services.
The 2020-21 fiscal year, which ended June 30, was the first full year of SOR service for Mountain Line. All told, 3, 230 trips were provided during the 2021 fiscal year, with 448—a monthly high—provided in June.
