Thanks to grants from local organizations from the state, it will be easier for you and your neighbors to get around Door and Kewaunee counties. The office of Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced more than $5 million in rural transportation grants on Tuesday. The grants were aimed at 44 organizations that provide transportation services for seniors and disabled residents. Door-Tran received $129,885 for its mobility management program and $39,167 for its volunteer driver and vouchers initiatives. Executive Director Nikki Voight says these dollars are crucial for their programs that benefit area residents who have no other way of getting around.

Sunshine House, Inc. in Sturgeon Bay also received $103,788 to replace one of its buses.
