Service Change: January 2027🚌

We’re continuing to make improvements to better serve our community! Beginning in January, Licking County Transit’s Deviated Fixed Routes (DFR) will transition to Fixed Routes (FR), as outlined in our Transit Development Plan.

This change is another step forward in building a more consistent, reliable, and accessible transit system for our community. 💙💚

We’re proud of how far we’ve come and look forward to continuing our mission of safely connecting people to places and possibilities.

We’re excited to see Williams contribute $320,000 toward the construction of a new training facility for the Monroe Township Fire Department in Johnstown!

As our region continues to grow, investments in public safety infrastructure are essential to ensuring our communities have the resources needed to meet increasing service demands.

Special thanks to Williams for supporting our first responders and the safety of our communities!

Big news for regional public safety: Monroe Township Fire Department has received a $320,000 grant from Williams to help build a comprehensive training facility in Johnstown.

The planned complex will give our firefighters and neighboring departments more opportunities for realistic, hands-on training in fighting fires, search and rescue, ventilation, aerial ladder operations and specialized rescue disciplines. Training closer to home also means less travel, lower costs, and more personnel and equipment available in our response area.

We are grateful to Williams for investing in the people who work every day to keep our communities safe. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating manufacturing and the incredible people who power it.
