In the coming weeks, folks in Bourbon County will have a source of public transportation. “Right now currently there’s only one option for public transportation and that’s through a taxi service here in Fort Scott,” said Rachel Carpenter, HBCAT Director for the Center of Economic Growth. On August 28th, the Healthy Bourbon County Action Team will partner with the Southeast Kansas Community Action Program to bring a county-wide public transportation service to Bourbon County. “Transportation has always been an issue, especially wheelchair-accessible transportation. We’ve been serving Crawford County, Pittsburg, Neosho County for several years and we’ve been looking to get back into Bourbon County,” said Scott Christiansen, SEK-CAP Director of Transportation.
