While it threatened to rain outside, you would have encountered a bright light shining on the impact of public transportation in Door County on Monday afternoon.
The Door County Transportation Department hosted its first transportation fair on Monday inside the horse, sheep, and swine barn at the Door County Fairgrounds, filling it with trucks, cars, and buses from Door County and Sturgeon Bay municipal departments, local organizations like Door-Tran and Sunshine Resources, and area businesses for community members to explore.
Transportation Manager Pam Busch honored United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle and Door County Transportation Consortium member Frank Maxwell for making public transit a reality in Door County.
Maxwell said it used to cost Washington Island residents nearly $70 to go to Sturgeon Bay for appointments and errands if they did not have a car.
Their fleet has also grown to include three ambulatory-seven passenger vans, six wheelchair-accessible vans, and one hybrid sedan.
