Salem Keizer Transit provides essential
transportation for people with disabilities.

Vote YES on Measure 24-155. 

“One of the most serious challenges facing Oregonians with disabilities is finding jobs. And, once they find a job, how do they get there? Most of them cannot drive. Salem Keizer Transit is essential transportation for our citizens with disabilities. Many of them could not stay employed without Cherriots to get them to work.”

Tim Kral, Executive Director
Oregon Rehabilitation Association

“I depend on the bus to get around. My vision has been limited since I was in a serious accident about 11 years ago, so I don’t drive. I take the bus to Chemeketa Community College where I am taking a class.”

Allison O’Grady, Salem

“Almost every individual with disabilities served by Garten Services uses public transportation to reach their job site. Expanded evening and weekend hours would open up many new opportunities for people with disabilities in Salem and Keizer.”

Lori Patterson
Garten Program Manager

“I ride to work on the bus and they take me where I need to go. I give them tickets. Yeah, I like buses. They are very important.”

Matthew Duckwall
Shangri La Program Participant

“I don’t drive because of my seizures. The bus system is good, I ride the bus to work and to my Dr. appointments. Without Cherriots, I couldn’t get anyplace. I only wish Cherriots would run on Sunday too. I would ride it to church!”

Dorothy E. Crosby, Salem

Vote YES on Measure 24-155.
Because someone you know needs the bus.
