A recent grant from the R. Bruce & Alyce S. Kopseker Trust Fund of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation could make it easier for you or your loved ones in Northern Door County to get around. The fund awarded Door-Tran a $15,631 grant this week to help meet the increased transportation demands in the Northern Door area. Though they are still not at pre-pandemic levels yet, Door-Tran is seeing increased transportation demands for volunteer drivers and half-price travel vouchers for those residents who need a ride. Executive Director Nikki Voight says the dollars received are appreciated and will be used to ensure riders and drivers have everything they need to address Door County’s transportation shortfalls.
Door-Tran holds office hours in Sister Bay on the third Wednesday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Voight is thankful for every grant they receive to keep costs down for county residents. The grants received usually require a 50 percent match, which means donations and volunteer drivers are equally important to the success of Door-Tran.
