Haywood Public Transit started in 1990 with the consolidation of several county agencies' client transportation systems. The Haywood County Department of Social Services, Southwestern
Child Development, and several programs administered by Mountain Projects, Inc. (Head Start, Foster Grandparents and Senior Services) were all providing some public transportation services before 1990. The state asked the county to consolidate those systems under one agency, and Mountain Projects, Inc. was named the lead transportation agency. |
