Innovations and Highlights

One highlight in the past fiscal year is the centralization of
scheduling in the largest three counties, making the operation more efficient
and streamlined. As a result, one of the scheduling positions was changed into a
driving position thus increasing the number of passengers served. A toll free
telephone number was installed in the Uvalde office thus enabling riders to
easily schedule rides.
