During KATS' recent Half-Price, Dial-A-Ride ticket book promotion, purchased and donated 20 ticket books for our passengers.

To share this kindness with the community, KATS surprised riders with a “Free Fare Day” on May 28. Passengers traveling that day were delighted to learn their trips had been generously paid for by the church. Signs were displayed in all vehicles, and drivers shared the good news with riders throughout the day.

KATS would like to thank Kendricks Creek United Methodist Church for its generosity.
