As Frederick County continues to emerge from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, County Executive Jan Gardner could revive a plan to improve rural transportation by providing a rotating shuttle to various towns.
Gardner sent a letter to the mayors and burgesses of municipalities, including Emmitsburg, Thurmont, Middletown and Brunswick in late 2019, asking whether the towns would be interested in sharing the cost of a van that would alternate visits to the various communities.
The county would provide a small, 12-person shuttle bus and a wheelchair, and hire a driver to make stops around a particular town once a week to take people to grocery stores, shopping centers, libraries, senior centers and other destinations.
