(Columbia, Missouri, April 10, 2023) – OATS Transit, a Missouri based not-for-profit transportation provider, announced that it has received a grant from Three Rivers Helping Hands Community Foundation totaling $4,500.
These funds will be used toward the cost of providing rides within the Three Rivers service areas in Cole, Franklin, Gasconade, Miller and Moniteau Counties in Missouri.
