Service is available to meet the needs of all people in your community, not just a specialized population. Many think the buses are for the elderly and the handicapped. But our service is intended to provide non-emergency medical transportation, as well as trips for shopping, banking, and nutrition. Critical medical needs such as dialysis, physical therapy or other scheduled appointments are easily accommodated as well. In addition to medical trips, our drivers take riders to work, school, daycare, volunteer activities, and even to social events. And with the only requirement being at least a days notice for scheduling, the service is very affordable for riders " especially the elderly who ride by donation. Because Prairie Hills Transit is a nonprofit organization, we keep it affordable for riders with help and funding from local government entities, grants, and businesses and individuals that choose to support our important mission. PHT offers commuters routes to Rapid City, Spearfish and Sturgis to cover requests from employers, employees and university students.
