WHO WE ARE

RTEC is a non-profit corporation organized in 1990 exclusively for the purpose of planning, coordinating and operating public transportation services. RTEC was organized in 1989 and began providing community transit services open to the public in rural Southeast Kentucky during July 1990.  Beginning as a single county transit system, RTEC quickly grew to the 15-county transit system it is known as today. We are celebrating 29 years in public transit serving residents in Southeast Kentucky.

​

At RTEC, we provide assistance in transportation to the needs of our passengers. There are various services that we offer for passengers to support their needs. These services include: cash trips for shopping, training, appointments, and employment; medical trips for Medicaid recipients and Veterans.
