Garrett County Community Action Committee Inc. (GCCAC) has announced Cody Kroll as the new Director of Garrett Transit Service (GTS). 
With a strong background in transportation and leadership, including managing non-emergency medical transportation at Garrett County Lighthouse, Kroll is well-prepared to address the challenges of public transit and deliver reliable services to Garrett County residents.
“Transportation is vital to the well-being of our community, and we are thrilled to have Cody leading this critical area,” said Chris Mullett, President and CEO of GCCAC. “His leadership and innovative approach will help us improve service delivery, overcome challenges, and expand our reach to better meet the needs of our residents.”
Kroll’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for GTS, as GCCAC addresses funding challenges and works to ensure the continuity of essential transportation services in Garrett County. The Garrett County Board of Commissioners has pledged $367,000 in emergency funding to support GTS operations through the county’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
“Transportation is a lifeline for our community, and I am honored to lead Garrett Transit Service during this pivotal time,” said Kroll. “With the county’s support and the dedication of our team, I look forward to strengthening operations and ensuring our services meet the needs of residents across Garrett County.”
GTS plays a vital role in connecting community members to medical appointments, employment, and essential services. It is particularly critical for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income families, for whom public transportation is not a convenience but a necessity.
