Scott County Transit

History

In 1981, the Scott City Senior Citizens Transportation System, Inc. was established to address the transportation needs in the Scott City area, initially operating with one van and one RSVP volunteer.

By 1985, the service extended to the Chaffee area, prompting a name change to Scott County Transit System, Inc.

In 1988, another expansion took place, reaching Sikeston and the surrounding rural areas to offer transportation services countywide.
