Thanks to a steady stable of drivers and a growing customer base, you are only seeing public transportation continue to grow in Door County. So far this year, Door 2 Door Rides and the Door County Connect bus service are providing approximately 4,000 rides each month. That is 500 more than they were serving on average a year ago. Door County Transportation Manager Pam Bush credits the work ethic of its drivers and people becoming more comfortable with the services as reasons why they continue to rebound after COVID-19 hampered it.
July 16th is National Rural Transit Day and the Door County Transportation Department is taking time to thank both its drivers and its riders. It is hosting a driver appreciation lunch on July 13th and offering free rides on July 17th.
