The Transit Authority of Calhoun County (TACC), also known as Ride Calhoun, is working to change the way residents think about public transit throughout the county. Mallory Avis, Executive Director of Ride Calhoun, talks to Community Matters about why a more robust county-wide transit authority is important for the needs of all residents and how technology is helping to make it available for all levels of access.
Ride Calhoun is also looking for feedback to help make their services even better. They'll be hosting a public hearing to discuss fee structures on January 27 at Marshall City Hall. You can also visit their website and share your feedback there.
