History
OATS was founded in 1970 in Macon, Missouri as a private company. It started with five drivers serving eight counties.[1] The first vans were used in November 1971, starting out with only three.[2] In 1973, they were changed into a nonprofiti.[3]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they suspended their services in St. Louis County and St. Charles County,[4] and later provided free rides for people to get the COVID-19 vaccine.[5] On July 1, 2023, they stopped accepting cash payments, instead requiring riders to pay online, for $2 for a one-way ride.[6]
On April 29, 2024, they cancelled fares in Jefferson City due to a driver shortage.[7]
