3.  Their fleet of vehicles transport individuals
to daily appointments, to shop, buy groceries
or just visit with friends and neighbors.
 They provide transportation for many
citizens to kidney dialysis, physical therapy,
and cancer treatments. PATS makes every
effort to serve the needs of all citizens of
Pike county. We at PATS are very proud of our
service to the Pike County Community.

5. I wanted to do my project on a local source or
available service that is little known about
but provide a great and immeasurable
service to the Troy community. Public
transportation in Troy helps to get people to
and from one destination to another. Think
of all the times you’ve needed to get
somewhere just around town. If you don’t
own your own vehicle, or don’t have anyone
you can call for help. Here is a lifeline.

6.  In order for PATS to serve the community better, we are
constantly expanding and improving our services. The
public is always invited to inquire about any of our new
services or changes to any of our regular routes.
 We are here to serve the public, and no question is too
big or too small to handle. We welcome all questions
and suggestions.

9. In my experience volunteering to help with the elderly, getting them
back and forth from critical healthcare appointments, was my
venture; but I got even more than I bargained for. I participated in
a service that is little known but a vital asset to our Troy
Community. I was so well intrigued with this service and they
with me, I now work part time for Pike Area Transportation, in
hopes of helping in a variety of ranges it’s growth.
