Our MissionIt is the mission of Rural Community Transportation, Inc. ("RCT") to encourage the use, development and support of public transportation through the provision of coordinated, consolidated, non-duplicative transportation services: and to promote the planning and development of public transportation for the Northeast Kingdom including the counties of Caledonia, Essex, Lamoille and Orleans. Company ProfileRural Community Transportation, Inc. (”RCT”) is a private, non-profit organization incorporated in November 1991. Previously known as NECKA transportation, RCT was created through a grant from the Federal Urban Mass Transportation Administration (”UMTA ”)to coordinate Medicaid transportation services. Later, services were expanded to serve the entire Northeast Kingdom. This program served as a model for the later development of the Vermont Public Transportation Association’s (”VPTA”) statewide Medicaid brokerage network. RCT is a transportation brokerage, that uses all modes of transportation including commercial buses, cars, taxis, volunteer drivers, van pools and ride-shares. We service a wide range of passengers through several programs and we also provide rides to the general public. As the Medicaid/Reachup broker for Caledonia, Orleans, Essex and Lamoille counties, RCT coordinates medical trips for Medicaid eligible residents. We provide transportation services for the Area Agency on Aging, Adult Day Services, Northeast Kingdom Human Services, Central VT Council on Aging, Out and About and the Northeast Kingdom Community Action . RCT is also a coordinator for the statewide Rideshare and Van Pool programs. The moving force of RCT is its ’ volunteer driver network. As it has in the past, the demand continues to increase the volunteer driver network, to bring people in from the outlying areas to the more heavily populated service centers. For more information on volunteer driving, please see Volunteer Drivers. RCT’s service area includes Essex, Caledonia, Orleans and Lamoille counties. RCT’s main office is in St.Johnsbury, with branch offices in Newport and Morrisville. Through all of our programs RCT provides over 200,000 rides a year. Contact Information
