The service would run from 9 am to 3 pm two days per week for 13 weeks, starting July 5.</p> <p>Under the agreement, LCT's contractor, First Transit, will take and dispatch calls for Oberlin residents requiring service. Passengers will pay the same one-way fare LCT riders pay in Lorain and Elyria, where service continues. Those fares are $2.20 for adults, and $1.10 for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and children ages 3 to 12. All-day passes may be purchased for $5 on the bus. Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority tenants and Oberlin residents who qualify for low-income will pay a reduced fare of $1.10. In order to qualify for the reduced fare the passenger will have to present an ID card provided by Oberlin Community Services.</p> <p>The service will end Sept. 30. But Norenberg said if it proves successful, it could continue beyond the trial period.</p> <p><a href="2010_06_bus_service_ntfull.htm" target="_self">read full article from Oberlin News-Tribune</a><em><a href="http://morningjournal.com/articles/2010/06/24/news/mj2934861.txt" target="_blank"><br> </a></em><a href="../about_press.html" target="_self">back to list of "OCS in the News" articles</a> </p> <p align="left"> </p>  </div> <div id="outer_menu"><img src="../images/menu_bar.gif" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="right" class="imagehold"> <p> </p> <p><strong><a href="../client.html"> Client Services</a> </strong><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_utilities.html">Utilities</a> </span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_housing.html">Housing</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_transport.html">Transportation</a> </span> <br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_prescriptions.html">Prescriptions</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_food.html">Food</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../client_meals.html">Meals on Wheels </a></span> </p> <p><a href="../tutoring.html"><strong>Tutoring</strong></a> </p> <p><strong>Support OCS</strong><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../donate.html">Donate</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../gifts.html">Gifts-in-Kind</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../annualreport.html">Annual Report</a></span></p> <p><strong>Volunteer</strong><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../volunteer_community.html">Community Members</a></span><br> <span class="indented"><a href="../volunteer_college.html">O.C.
