After Clayton County’s C-Tran bus service was cut in March, a long-defunct, free medical transportation program was brought back for wheelchair-bound county residents.
Service would allow customers to set up a time for a shuttle to pick them up and take them to their destination for a set fare.
Will now provide accessible customer-based travel information and trip planning services to a 4,000 square mile rural region with a population of 300,000 people.
The new service is called flex because the shuttle-style vans run a regularly scheduled route through the community and can deviate up to three-fourths of a mile off the regular fixed-route for just one dollar more than the standard $2 fare.
John Nations, a partner in the St. Louis office of Armstrong Teasdale and currently in his third term as mayor of Chesterfield, Mo., will succeed Robert Baer in late October. Baer has served as president/CEO since December 2007.
