Semcac public transportation buses adopt new logo and name- Rolling Hills Transit


The Semcac public transportation bus system has been renamed, Rolling Hills Transit. A new logo will also begin to be dispersed in the area and displayed on the transit buses within the next few months.

The transportation department received a grant award contract from MnDOT and will be expanding their curb-to-curb bus services into the city of Stewartville, in addition to a new Semcac Dispatch Center housed in Kasson. Semcac’s Rolling Hills Transit system is currently in Dodge, Houston, Fillmore and rural Winona Counties. There also is a bus for seniors in Blooming Prairie.

Rolling Hills Transit Dispatch Center operates M-F, 8:00am – 4:30pm.  Call 1-800-528-7622 to schedule your curb-to-curb ride. 24 hour advance reservation requested. All buses are accessible for individuals with disabilities. Visit   www.semcac.org/services/transportation/ for additional information and regularly scheduled drop off locations. This transit system is available to anyone.

In addition to the new Rolling Hills Transit branding, there will also be a new, consistent fee schedule, making Rolling Hills Transit a very affordable way for anyone to ride! The following are the associated fare-based fees:

$1.50 per ride, one way
$3.00 per ride, one way- outside of city limits
$5.00 per ride, one way to Rochester
$1.75 Round Trip to Senior Dining
