Gulf County Transportation named Franklin County's Community Transportation Coordinator

                Franklin County has a new Community Transportation Coordinator.

For years that service has been provided by Croom’s Transportation in Apalachicola.

This designation allows the Transportation Coordinator to provide cost effective transportation for residents with disabilities, the elderly, low-income individuals, and children at risk.

On Tuesday, Franklin county Commissioners learned that the position will be taken over by Gulf County Transportation this year and then the state will put the service out for bid.

County Coordinator Michael Moron said the decision to end the agreement with Crooms was made about a month ago at the state level and there was no input from local groups.

Commissioner Cheryl Sanders said she didn’t have a problem with the decision but she would have liked the state to contact county officials if there were any problems so they could have been remedied quickly.
