From elder care to escaping poverty...
Independence requires a car.

From Nikiski to Kasilof, the communities of the Central Kenai Peninsula are spread across hundreds of miles of highway with no fixed bus routes connecting them.

CARTS has provided safe, door-to-door public transportation for over 25 years. We serve seniors, people with disabilities, workers, families, and anyone who needs a ride, regardless of why.

"CARTS got me to my appointments when I had no other way."

On the Kenai Peninsula,
distance is a challenge.

Medical appointments, jobs, dialysis, counseling, the grocery store, daycare, and reaching community support: For thousands of Peninsula residents, getting there depends entirely on CARTS.

CARTS drivers aren't just dropping off at the curb. They meet you at your door and escort you to the vehicle. That's who we are.

CARTS serves everyone from seniors to people with disabilities. From veterans to workers, and families. All served with the same standard: Safe, reliable, and dignified.

We're going your way.
