Sugar River Transit Coming to an End

Effective March 31st, 2018, the Sugar River Transit taxi service will no longer be in service. This project started in October 2016, and after careful consideration, the ADRC came to the conclusion to stop the service. Even though we have to stop this service, we do not look at this as a failed attempt. Prior to the start of the service running, the ADRC did extensive research of those communities and spoke with key players in the area to find out what the needs are of the “Sugar River” area.
