Monday - Friday - 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Fare/Cost Share Contrubutions:
The full cost for transportation in-town (under 4 miles) is $3.00

volunteer drivers across the state.
The CCT staff, volunteer driver and passenger did a great job and we appreciate WCCO for taking notice of this issue! The Mid Minnesota Development Commission RTCC helped make the connections that made this possible. Please share as you are able to help recruitment of volunteer drivers across our service area as well as across the state!
