Straits Regional Ride (SRR)

Who it's for

Straits Regional Ride is the public bus service connecting Emmet, Cheboygan, and Presque Isle counties for rides to medical appointments, errands, and community life. Seniors age 60 and over and people with disabilities of any age can get non-emergency medical and community rides by scheduling at least 24 hours ahead. Call 1-866-731-1204 to book a ride.

Rides are open to the public; riders age 60 and older, and riders with a completed SRR Special Services form (disability), pay half fare ($2 to $4 one way instead of $4 to $8, by distance). Schedule 24 hours ahead. Not legal or financial advice.
