Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE BY PROVIDING SAFE, CARING, AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE BY PROVIDING SAFE, CARING AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE EVERY OATS TRANSIT COMMUNITY RECEIVES SUPERIOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.OATS TRANSIT SERVES INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND SENIORS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES IN URBAN AREAS. A MAJORITY OF THE RIDERS ARE CLASSIFIED AS LOW-INCOME, HANDICAPPED OR ELDERLY. WITHOUT THIS SERVICE MANY INDIVIDUALS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THEIR OWN HOMES, WORK, SEE A DOCTOR OR ATTEND AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. THE AGENCY IS A DEMAND-RESPONSE, DOOR-TO-DOOR TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER, PLUS OPERATES DEVIATED-FIXED ROUTES IN A FEW SMALL TOWNS, AS WELL AS INTERCITY EXPRESS ROUTES.

  • OATS TRANSIT IS GENERAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SERVING 87 COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. ANNUALLY, THE AGENCY PROVIDES ONE MILLION ONE-WAY TRIPS, AND TRAVELS MORE THAN 10.8 MILLION MILES WITH A FLEET OF OVER 700 VEHICLES. NORMAL OPERATING HOURS ARE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 6:00 AM-6:00 PM. MANY TIMES THE AGENCY OPERATES OUTSIDE OF THOSE HOURS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS DIALYSIS TREATMENTS, MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS AND LONG-DISTANCE TRAVEL. IN ADDITION TO ITS OPERATING EXPENSES, REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLES IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE AGENCY TO ENSURE ITS FLEET IS SAFE AND OPERATES EFFICIENTLY. OATS TRANSIT RAISES FUNDS THROUGH DONATIONS AND GRANTS TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES. WHILE FEDERAL GRANTS PAY FOR A PORTION OF ITS FLEET, A 20% LOCAL MATCH IS REQUIRED FOR EACH NEW VEHICLE. THIS IS A CHALLENGE AND TAKES YEARS TO GET FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO MATCH ONE VEHICLE. THE AGENCY HAS AN EXTENSIVE FLEET PLAN WHICH INCLUDES FUTURE EXPANSION NEEDS AND MAJOR REPAIRS ON EACH VEHICLE. OUR LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE MOST TRANSPORTATION SERVICE FOR THE DOLLARS RECEIVED AND LOOK FOR OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION. A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER IS MAILED TO MORE THAN 20,000 PEOPLE AND ALSO SHARED ON THE AGENCY'S VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. THE AGENCY WEBSITE PROVIDES GENERAL INFORMATION, AS WELL AS BUS SCHEDULES FOR ALL 87 COUNTIES IT SERVES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
