New Martin County Fixed-Route transportation provider selected
Martin County Transit, LLC, a division of Senior Resource Association (SRA), was awarded the contract to operate Martin County’s fixed-route transportation system, Marty. The three-year agreement begins July 1, 2025, and marks a significant milestone in enhancing public transportation services in the region.
Marty serves Martin County residents and visitors with transit options across five routes, four fixed and one express. The fleet of 14 buses connects key regional services, including Palm Tran, Treasure Coast Connector, and Stuart’s Downtown Tram Service. Operating weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Marty ensures mobility and accessibility within Martin County and beyond. The commuter express route, Route 20X, provides crucial connections to Palm Beach County, including stops like the VA Medical Center.
SRA has been established in Martin County since 2018 through Martin Community Coach, demonstrating a strong commitment to serving the community’s door-to-door transit system for transportation-disadvantaged riders. This new contract further solidifies SRA’s role in improving transit coverage and increasing ridership in the area.
