The Iowa Northland Regional Transit Commission (RTC) provides open-to-the-public, accessible transit services within the INRCOG region. Our primary customers are persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and Head Start children. In addition to providing transit, RTC is responsible for coordinating transportation in the region.

RTC operates 22 vans and light duty buses, of which 15 are used for our services and 7 are contracted to regional sub-providers who provide service on our behalf. We offer demand response service in Independence and Waverly and subscription service elsewhere. The current per ride average cost is $3.00 within Independence and Waverly. For rates elsewhere in our service area, please contact the RTC office. The following table provides a brief statistical overview of our service over the past three (3) fiscal years.
