SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting: The Hastings Loop Transportation Service
DESCRIPTION:DARTS and Hastings Community Partners are excited to announce a new transportation service in the City of Hastings called The Hastings LOOP. In response to the growing need to have an affordable alternative transportation system for the city's residents\, DARTS has been working with the Hastings Transportation Option Advisory Board for the past several months to design and implement a new LOOP service that will provide a Dial-A-Ride transportation service with scheduled stops with point deviation around the city.  This customized service offers both planned stops and the flexibility to request a stop nearby.\n\nThe preview of this new LOOP service will take place on August 26th at a 9 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony at Tilden Community Center (310 River Street\, Hastings\, MN 55033). The ceremony will be part of the "50 & Beyond: Live Well\, Celebrate Life" expo. Acting Mayor Danna Elling Schultz will be present to say a few words on this exciting transportation service. The actual LOOP service will operate every Tuesday from 9 a.m.   2 p.m. with service beginning on Tuesday\, September 6th.\n\nDARTS would like to thank the following sponsors of this service:  The City of Hastings\, Regina Hospital\, part of Allina Health\, The Saint Paul Foundation\, Augustana   Park Ridge of Hastings\, Friends of the Pleasant Hill Library\, Oak Ridge Assisted Living of Hastings\, and Pat Powers & Dick Graham.\n\nAbout DARTS: DARTS is a community-based nonprofit in Dakota County that connects people to services and partnerships to improve their quality of life\, help them age well\, and enable them to engage in their community.
