Catch a ride in the Village

Recently a friend called very concerned about two Villagers he knew considering moving away from the Village because they could no longer ride. The two feared they would no longer be able to get around. My friend asked me to once again highlight SCAT, a transportation service available here in the Village.
A wheelchair accessible van arrived in the Village March 22 from Malvern ready to provide low-cost rides to Villagers for $4 one way trips from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday by SCAT, south central Arkansas transportation. To reserve a ride call 915-0087. Rides provided are inside the Village gates and just outside the gates. No rides to Hot Springs or to Benton.
The success of the SCAT rides include trips to the beauty parlor, doctors, lawyers, car repair, shopping and to visit friends and family as far as the Fountain Lake Rehabilitation Center on Highway 7, the outer limit of a SCAT ride.The mission of SCAT is to keep Village residents independent by offering low-cost transportation to Village residents unable to drive.
There is no need to move away from the Village if you can no longer drive. Also, several local churches offer services to aid non-drivers in the Village.
