Warrick Area Transit System (WATS) is the primary provider of mass transportation in Warrick County, Indiana with three routes serving Boonville, Chandler, and Newburgh. It is a service of Ride Solution, which also provides demand-response transit throughout southwestern Indiana. As of 2019, the system provided 21,058 rides over 12,311 annual vehicle revenue hours with 4 buses.[1]
WATS began service in August 2010 to provide affordable bus service in the county. Ride Solution had provided demand-response service to the elderly and people with disabilities since 2000, but there was a need for improved transit to serve the general public.[2] Service began August 9 to Newburgh, with the routes to Chandler and Boonville added later.[3]
