Friends of DATA

Friends of DATA Working to ensure quality public transportation in our rural community. DATA's business hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Pickups cannot generally be made prior to 6:15 AM, and drop offs completed before 5:45 PM. Services other than those times need to be arranged two weeks in advance, and a price quote will be given then for that service. We are closed on all legal holidays. If a holiday falls on a Saturday we are closed the Friday prior. If a holiday falls on a Sunday we are closed on the following Monday. Our tele

phone system operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please be patient when you get a busy signal as the office is busy. Feel free to leave a message for any services that are not required immediately, and your call will be returned as quickly as possible.

Ginger Bayne is a DATA rider and a Care Access Grant recipient. She uses DATA to get safely to work, medical appointments, school and everyday errands.

"Knowing there is dependable service took away so much stress and I'm truly very thankful for it. Amy (Mobility Manager) and the entire staff have always been kind, professional and dedicated to helping the community. To me, keeping DATA services running strong for the future is an investment in everyone."

In the last fiscal year, our services ran 265 days and our vehicles provided riders 450,539 miles of rides.

That's enough to cross every square mile in Delta County 384 times, take 18 trips around Earth at its equator, or to drive from Escanaba to Miami more than 240 times.

Thank you to our riders for letting us serve you. We love to keep you moving, trip after trip.

Did you know? On average, people outlive their ability to drive safely by 7 to 10 years.

In Delta County, where seniors already make up 27.5% of the population and are projected to reach 32% by 2040, that gap matters. DATA is more than a ride. It's how our neighbors get to doctor's appointments, the grocery store and visit with friends. Public transit enables people to "age in place."
