Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) is offering free fares during Spring Break
Spring is in the air, and all of Northwest Arkansas is prepared to come alive again!
Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) is offering free fares during Spring Break (March 21 – March 25) for all 14 fixed routes in Northwest Arkansas. Spring Break is the first of several free-fare periods that ORT offers each year. We encourage ORT passengers to use this opportunity of free fares-- and free time offered by the break-- to get out and enjoy all the wonderful springtime activities that our area has to offer. Free fare is for fixed-route service only. Pre-scheduled paratransit and demand/response service remains at the $2.50 rate for one-way passage. ABOUT OZARK REGIONAL TRANSIT ORT has four fixed routes in Fayetteville, five in Springdale, two in Rogers and one in Bentonville. Also, two express route bus services — one, hourly between Fayetteville and Bentonville which is very popular and free for NWACC students, and another, 1 ½ hour express route between West Fork and Lincoln — that connect multiple communities in Northwest Arkansas. Para-transit services are offered in all 10 cities with fixed-route service and — to a more limited extent — in rural areas and smaller cities in Washington, Benton, Madison and Carroll counties, Monday through Friday. All ORT vehicles are wheelchair accessible. Bicycle racks are available on all fixed-route buses. Information on para-transit service and fixed-route information can be obtained by calling ORT at (479) 756-5901 or visit ORT’s website: www.ozark.org.

Survey of Needs for DD Waiting List The Health Reform Legislative Task Force is committed to providing Arkansans with the best possible Medicaid services, including assistance for those who are presently on the DDS Waiver Wait list. In order for the Task Force to better understand community and home service needs and to determine the funding necessary to obtain these services, feedback from those who are affected would be beneficial. Because you or someone in your household has applied for services or is currently on the DDS Waiver Wait list, we ask for your participation in a short survey. To complete the survey, please open an Internet browser and go to the following URL: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DDS_Survey3 If you prefer, you may send an email to Keesha.Lucas@dhs.arkansas.gov and a link to this URL will be sent immediately by reply email or call 501-683-0569 and we will enter it directly on your behalf. If you do not have Internet access, please visit your county office or local library for assistance. We ask that you complete the survey once for each person in your household who is waitlisted for DDS services. The survey link for capturing data will be open for two weeks beginning March 15, 2016. Please understand that completing the survey is not a guarantee of services or additional funding. Your input, however, will provide valuable information which could potentially influence the Legislative process. Thank you for assisting with this important opportunity to provide awareness to your Legislators of the significant need for additional services.If you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 501-683-0569.
