Our rural community-based transit program accomplishes an essential mobility mission of the County, connecting people, communities, workplaces, educational institutions, recreational opportunities and many other essential destinations on a regular and continuous basis. Over 30,000 riders ride the St. Mary’s Transit System (STS) per month. Transit also plays a key role in the viability of the local economy and in the livability of our neighborhoods. In addition, STS provides complimentary ADA Paratransit services for persons with disabilities and a Specialized Statewide Transportation Assistance Program (SSTAP) for the elderly and persons with disabilities that are not sufficiently close to the main public transportation routes. On October 25, 2007 the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) approved a 5-year Transportation Development Plan (TDP) to improve public transportation service in St. Mary's County and we are committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation or denied the benefits of the transit services we offer (Non Discriminatory Policy).
