How to apply for Public Demand-Response Rides (OATS Transit) — Warren in Missouri

Who it's for

OATS Transit - Warren County serves Warren County with Countywide-to-Warrenton service on Wednesdays and an I-70 to Warrenton route Tuesday and Thursday 7am-4pm (pickup destinations must be within 3 miles of I-70). Reservations taken 7:00am-4:00pm; next-day service must be requested by 1:00pm. One-way fares: $2.00 in-town, $3.00 county service. InterCity routes connect to St. Charles and Columbia along Hwy 19 and I-70, linking to Amtrak, airports and other city bus services. Toll-free 800-654-6287. The Warren County government site also links MoRIDES (morides.org), a regional transportation referral service. OATS Transit is open to riders of any age — the page for this county states it is 'available to anyone regardless of age, income, disability, race, gender, religion, or national origin'. Fares are listed above, but riders age 60 and older — and riders with disabilities — who travel under the Area Agency on Aging contract do not pay a set fare. They are asked to contribute what they can instead. Ask about the AAA contract when you book. Call ahead, as rides are scheduled in advance.
