FRS Transportation hopes to have public transit routes back up and running in May, representatives said at Monday’s Hillsboro City Council meeting.
Damon Lucas, FRS Transportation director, said public transportation routes originated last March, but lasted just three weeks before they were shut down by COVID-19.
When the routes are re-established, Lucas said there will be two loops around Hillsboro running in opposite directions, Monday through Friday to begin with, and one loop in Greenfield. In Hillsboro, he said, there will be 21 stops starting at the Highland County Senior Citizen Center on Muntz Street.

FRS to Expand Public Transit to Adams County
By Jacob Clary
FRS Transportation Director Damon Lucas expects the organization’s public transit loops to reopen in late spring, which is when the service will also expand public transit to Adams County.
FRS Transportation currently runs a demand-response service in Highland County and non-emergency medical transit in Adams County, but loops have been down since the pandemic started in March of last year. Lucas said that the loops will run a bit differently when they reopen, not having them go in one whole loop and having to go all the way around again.
