TATS 

Truman Area Transportation Service (T.A.T.S.) is a provider of safe, reliable transportation to the citizens of Lamar and Barton County.

In 1994, realizing the need for people to be able to move about in their daily lives, Lamar Community Betterment, the City of Lamar and Barton County Memorial Hospital joined forces to make transportation available to the general public. Providing public transportation benefits the community as a whole, allowing individuals to remain independent in their own homes and supports the local economy in several areas. T.A.T.S. allows access to jobs, education, nutrition and other personal needs. Citizens may also visit friends and take care of social services matters and have medical needs attended to.

Anyone wishing to ride may call the T.A.T.S. line at 417-682-5542, Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:30 am and 5 pm. The area served by T.A.T.S. is within a 3-mile radius of the City of Lamar. Medical trips for the elderly and disabled who have no other means of transportation are provided county-wide. Twenty-four hours notice is required for these medical trips.
