Salina, Kansas –OCCK Transportation is proud to announce the 2nd Anniversary of the start of GoConcordia, the public transportation service for Concordia.
OCCK Transportation started operating GoConcordia on July 1, 2021, after talks with the Concordia Senior Center. Since that date, GoConcordia has provided more than 14,000 rides to passengers within the city limits, with trips being taken for employment, shopping, medical, and more. Ridership continues to rebound after the reduced service of the pandemic.
“For the past two years, GoConcordia has offered Concordia residents reliable rides throughout the community,” said Michelle Griffin, Mobility Manager for North Central Kansas. “We look forward to continuing partnerships and conversations in Concordia, Cloud County and all of North Central Kansas to further connect people and services with affordable transit options.”
Rides must be scheduled in advance in one of two ways, either by phone by calling 785.826.1583 or 855.577.4337 or by using the online scheduling form found at www.salinacitygo.com under GoConcordia.
Passengers interested in riding GoConcordia have many options for fares and fare payments, using cash, buying coupons, or paying with digital fares using Token Transit.
GoConcordia can link passengers with 81 Connection, the regional fixed route bus service to make even longer trips.
