The Le Mars Sentinel recently featured Siouxland Regional Transit System (SRTS) as a vital service for Le Mars residents. Riders like Jennifer Keleher and Kyler Sudtelgte shared how SRTS helps them access work, programs, and daily necessities — making independent living possible. Drivers such as Willy Plendl and Darla Jurrens, both retired professionals, expressed how rewarding it is to serve their community through SRTS.
With Plymouth County accounting for 30% of SRTS ridership, Transit Director Brian Pearson announced plans for a new satellite bus facility and transit office in Le Mars by 2028. The proposed $2.5 million project will expand services and improve access for residents.
SRTS, operated by SIMPCO, serves communities across northwest Iowa, southeast South Dakota, and northeast Nebraska. The service runs Monday through Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and supports a wide range of trip purposes—from school and work to medical appointments and shopping.
