Mission
Statement: to provide safe,
reliable, affordable transportation to individuals in Ashland County
who want
inclusion in community, social, cultural, economic and educational
activities.
Ashland
Community Coordination Transit (ACCT) is a transportation brokerage
service for
the residents of Ashland. With two business day’s notification,
ACCT will
schedule a trip for an out of county destination with a local
transportation
provider, such as Ashland Public Transit.
What is the
goal of ACCT?
The majority of Ashland
County is not currently served by the Ashland Public Transit that
serves the
City of Ashland. It is cost prohibitive to travel and transport
residents
throughout the entire County. The purpose of ACCT is to use public
resources
more efficiently. If you need
transportation within Ashland County, please call our Transportation
Coordinator at toll free
1-866-664-2228.
