Expanding Rural Access to Non-Emergency Medical Transportation

River Cities Public Transit will receive funding to expand a program that provides transportation for oncology patients to a large hospital in central South Dakota to all types of patients within a 60-mile radius. The project will feature an integrated single payment system and allow Avera St. Mary's Hospital to hire a full-time transportation coordinator to advocate the service.
