The People Mover has come a long way since it was founded in the 1970s. Still considered a frontier county, it was once a small, volunteer-ran program through the Senior Citizens Association that featured excursion shuttles and limited Dial-A-Ride. It is now a robust public transportation program that provides services throughout Grant County and rivals many of the services found in more urban areas.
Early in the People Mover’s history, the Senior Citizens Association, in coordination with the Grant County Chamber of Commerce, was instrumental in obtaining the first Greyhound “Rural Connection” in Oregon, winning a national UTMA Administrators Award. At that time, around 1985, the People Mover was led primarily by Ken and Helen Bogart, a group of dedicated volunteers and supporters.
Ruth Harris, a dedicated rider of the People Mover public transportation service, boards a bus in 2017.
