How to apply for Senior & Disabled Transit (OATS Transit) — Pulaski
OATS Transit
Who it's for
OATS Transit serves Pulaski County with Service for Waynesville and St. Robert on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month; service for Richland, Dixon and Crocker on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month. Fare $2.00 one-way, prepaid to a rider account ($10.00 minimum to add funds). Office hours Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. NO separate city bus service was found for Waynesville or St. Robert: waynesvillemo.org and saintrobert.com both return placeholder pages with no transit content, and neither Pulaski County nor its cities appear on the SMTS service-area list. OATS is the only verified public transit here.. Older adults and people with disabilities can use these services for medical appointments, shopping, and other essential trips. Rides are free or low-cost depending on the service. Call 573-449-3789 or 800-269-6287 for schedules, eligibility, or to book a ride.
Service areas, reduced-fare eligibility, and ride availability are set by the transit provider, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of Pulaski County residency
- Proof of age 65+ or disability for reduced fare
