Tribal transportation service starts in Mission and Arlee

PABLO — Starting Monday, Feb. 27, Tribal Transit will provide a van in the Arlee and Mission communities to provide elders and others needing transportation within town to senior centers for meals, doctor’s appointments and/or THHS, the post office, grocery store, community centers, culture committee and to the main bus stops to catch the commuter buses to other towns, etc. This service will be available Monday and Wednesday in Mission and Tuesday, Thursday, in Arlee.
