Salina’s OCCK Transportation Earns Innovation Award with Support from TransLoc — A Model for Counties Nationwide
CARY, NC — September 3, 2025 — OCCK Transportation, a leading transit provider in North Central Kansas, has been honored with the Innovation Award by the Kansas Public Transit Association at its 2025 Annual Meeting held August 12–13. The award recognizes OCCK’s leadership in advancing rural and small urban transit through strategic innovation—including the deployment of TransLoc’s Fixed Route technology.
Serving a 14-county region, OCCK has demonstrated how modern transit tools can transform public mobility.
