PONTOON BEACH - At a time when 84% of transit agencies around the country are experiencing workforce shortages, affecting their ability to provide service, Agency for Community Transit (ACT) is pleased to announce that despite its own multi-year driver shortage, proposed Madison County Transit (MCT) service reductions won’t be necessary any time soon. ACT operates all services for Madison County Transit and all drivers are ACT employees. Thanks to ACT’s recent recruiting efforts, which led to the hiring of 16 new drivers, service reductions that were proposed in October will not be required. After delaying a decision on the service change in October, the MCT Board of Trustees approved a revised plan at its Thursday, November 17 meeting that avoids frequency reductions on three MCT bus routes. “First I want to thank ACT’s positive, energetic drivers for staying with us, working long hours, and taking extra shifts in order to keep bus service on the road for

JERSEY - Mike Ringhausen will soon end his term as Jersey County Sheriff. Nick Manns was the winner in the race for the sheriff’s position in the recent election. Ringhausen said he has loved his role as sheriff and serving the people of Jersey County. Ringhausen went to Lewis and Clark Community College and received a criminal justice degree and has been in law enforcement for 32 years. “I was in it for the people,” he said. “Any time I can do anything to help people is what I like to do.
