RENO COUNTY
Reno County Area Transit (Rcat) has been recognized with the 2025 Transit Service of the Year Award at the Annual Kansas Public Transportation Association (KPTA) Meeting and Expo.
The award highlights Rcat’s commitment to providing safe, timely, and reliable transportation across Reno County. Operating six days a week, Rcat connects residents in 16 communities and unincorporated areas to jobs, medical appointments, and other essential destinations.
Over the past year, Rcat recorded a 10 percent increase in ridership, a milestone officials credit to the dedication of drivers, dispatchers, and support staff. The KPTA award also celebrates the agency’s adaptive teamwork, empowered decision-making, and strong culture of service.
KPTA Chair Anne Smith, of ATA Bus, presented the award to Natalie Goertzen, Assistant Director of the Reno County Department of Aging and Public Transportation.
“This recognition is really about our people,” Goertzen said. “Our drivers, dispatchers, and staff make it possible for us to meet the needs of our communities every day. This award belongs to them.”
