Central Community Transit (CCT) is the primary provider of mass transportation in Litchfield and Willmar, Minnesota with two routes serving the region in addition to countywide demand-response services. As of 2019, the system provided 227,429 rides over 51,272 annual vehicle revenue hours with 5 buses and 27 paratransit vehicles.[1]

History

Central Community Transit began in 2015, when Kandiyohi Area Transit merged with Heartland Express of Renville County. A year later, Meeker County Public Transit joined CCT to form the present service area.[2][3] In 2023, CCT received a $20,000 grant to allow for fare-free operations of the Willmar City Route from July 1 to December 31.[4]

Service

Central Community Transit operates two weekday deviated fixed-route bus routes with one route serving Litchfield and Willmar each. Hours of operation for the fixed-route system are Monday through Friday from 8:10 A.M. to 7:46 P.M. in Willmar and from 8:30 A.M. to 6:35 P.M. in Litchfield. There is no service on Saturdays and Sundays for the fixed-route services.[5] Regular fares are $2.00, however, the Willmar City Route is fare free until the end of 2023.[6] The Becker Bus Station at 4th Street SW and Becker Avenue SW provides a transfer location to intercity Jefferson Lines buses.
