Our list of accomplishments would begin and end with the record number of rides we provided in fiscal year ending 2024. The fact Community Transit of Water Town Sisseton (CTWSI) provided 8,000 more rides than FY 2023 is amazing, but more impressive is the fact those rides were provided with the same high quality of service as in previous years. Bigger is not always better, especially if the quality of service suffers because of the growth. That did not happen in this case.

Two areas of service CTWSI continues to take pride in are our medical transportation contracts and rides for veterans. Prairie Lakes Healthcare (PLH) and Watertown Area Transit (WATI) entered a contract for service in 2016. This agreement called for WATI to provide rides to and from all medical facilities in the city of Watertown and PLH would pay the fare. When CTWSI was formed in 2019, the contract remained in place. In November of 2024, CTWSI and PLH finalized a contract for a ninth year. PLH also agreed to an increase in fares at the request of CTWSI administrators.
