Curt VanHyning shares this note with you…
While our county has no public transportation, the non-profit RoundTowner has been providing low-cost ($3) shuttle rides in Friday Harbor since 2013.
The charity corporation was established to provide affordable transportation for senior citizens, people with disabilities, and the rural general public and has just surpassed the 5,000-ride milestone; nearly 2,000 rides delivered in 2016. Grant support from the United Way of San Juan County has offset expensive liability insurance costs for the past two years.
The rest of the operating income has come from riders, other service groups and gifts from individual islanders who wish to support affordable transportation in the islands. Please send donations to The RoundTowner at PO Box 954, Friday Harbor.
Contact us at info [@] roundtowner.com and call 298-6108 for a pick-up.
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
