Transportation Services

OCCK is committed to providing transportation services to the general public, seniors, and persons with disabilites, through a variety of programs. Over time, OCCK has expanded its transportation services so that more people in North Central Kansas can get to work, doctor’s appointments, the hospital, entertainment, shopping, and more. OCCK Transportation services are among the best of their kind in the Midwest!

Transit services are especially important given the economic impact that rising gasoline prices have had on motorists, as well as for the positive role they play in shaping the economy and helping the environment.

For a limited time only…ride CityGo for FREE!

Between November 17 and November 30, 2008, ride any CityGo bus FREE as part of a limited-service, introduction offer – courtesy of OCCK in partnership with the City of Salina.
