Stop by and see us at Calhoun County’s Senior Expo happening today at Kellogg Arena from 9:00am - 1:00pm.

This community event is a great opportunity for seniors, caregivers, and families to connect with local organizations, learn about available resources, and gather helpful information from agencies across Calhoun County.

Our Operations Manager and one of our amazing demand response drivers are there today to talk about our services and share some exciting changes coming your way very soon.

While you’re there, be sure to check out one of our newly branded minivans that operate our RC FLEX 🚍 service in Albion, Battle Creek, Marshall, and Springfield.

We look forward to seeing you!

Yesterday we attended the Community Open House at the Bronson Battle Creek Cancer Care Center!

This event featured free cancer screenings, food, Zumba, and community resources for Battle Creek residents. Ride Calhoun‘s Mobility Manager and Executive Director were on-site sharing information about our services and providing tours of one of our RC MAX (fixed route) buses. 🚌

We love opportunities like this to connect with our community and highlight the importance of accessible transportation for all. 🧡
