Stanley (WQOW) - Residents in the city of Stanley now have a new
option when it comes to getting around town.
Clark County received a federal grant in January
which allows its public transportation to continue. In order to qualify for the
grant, it needed to include service to a city of over 2,500 people. That's
where Stanley
comes in. The agreement means Stanley
residents can now call a taxi service to schedule a ride.
"We're excited
that, for some of our seniors or for some of our people who are just not
confident driving, that this will be an excellent alternative for them to get
around and do their errands, whether its to the doctor or shopping," said
Jeanne Gates, Ward 2 Alder person in Stanley.
This is the first time a taxi service
has been available for Stanley
residents. The rides are on a first come, first serve basis five days a week.
It costs $5 for adults and $3 for senior citizens.
