History:
Dawson
County was providing bus transportation for the elderly and the developmentally
disabled prior to June 1993. This transportation service was operated by the
County Commissioners and the County on Aging. After July 1, 1993, Urban
Transportation District was established by the voters to operate the
transportation service and program. The Board of Trustees made the program
available to the general public. Dawson County Transit has provided rides exceeding 14,000 for the year ending in 1997,
and 13,364 rides in 2005.

Thank You:
We, the
Board of Trustees for the Urban Transportation District of Dawson County, would
like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Taxpayers within
the Dawson County Transit for their support and for their support in the future.
We volunteer our time and effort to make the Dawson County Transit function but
without the cooperation of the Dawson County Council on Aging, R.S.V.P., Dawson
County Commissioners, Dawson County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, Dawson County
Attorney, Dawson County Treasurer’s Office, the City of Glendive, and Dawson
County Transit Drivers, the Transportation District would not exist.
Respectfully submitted,
Board of Trustees - Urban
Transportation District
