The Tuscarawas County Commissioners took part in the Ride the Bus with Us program on Wednesday, July 17.

With the goal of increasing awareness of public-transportation opportunities in Tuscarawas County, the commissioners rode a Horizons bus from the county courthouse to the Senior Center and back.

Founded in 1976, primarily with the goal of assisting individuals with developmental disabilities in reaching their destination, Horizons now assists individuals with disabilities, the elderly or those with low income in reaching travel destinations and also is part of a collaborative effort between the Senior Center and the Society for Equal Access in taking part in a program known as TuscTransit.

Because there was previously no public transportation in Tuscarawas County, TuscTransit and its partners work together to provide public transportation to anyone in the county.
