Our Mission: OCTA provides quality, accessible, cost effective, and safe public transportation for Ottawa County.

The Ottawa County Transportation Agency operates with a seven-member transit board appointed by the County Commissioners. In 2011 the Board Chair was Gerald Arnold, Jennifer Kirby was Vice-Chair and members were Stephanie Kowal, Lori Clune, Bob Eickel, Joseph Majce and Robert Bratton.

OCTA is Ottawa County’s general public transit system that provides demand-response, curb-to-curb, advanced reservation, shared ride service to anyone in the county who wants transportation for any reason. OCTA has vehicles operating from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. six days per week and from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Our office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

OCTA accepts reservations during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Friday. Fares are reasonable and discounted fares are offered to senior citizens and those with eligible disabilities.

Along with providing general public service, OCTA contracts with the Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services, the Northwest Ohio Area Office on Aging, Ottawa County Senior Resources, and the Ottawa County Board of DD to provide transportation and home delivered meals for their constituency.

OCTA maintains its own vehicles in its maintenance shop and also provides contract maintenance for other county offices as requested.

OCTA is funded by the Federal Transit Administration, Ohio Department of Transportation, agency contracts, sold maintenance, advertising, donations and passenger fares.
