Our total ridership for FY 2025 leveled off from the record ridership recorded in 2024. Our totals did increase in many areas but dropped off in others. The final figures indicated an increase of only 120 riders in FY 2025. These numbers were accomplished with less funding than the previous year. Two areas of service CTWSI continues to take pride in are our medical transportation contracts and rides for veterans. Prairie Lakes Healthcare (PLH) and Watertown Area Transit (WATI) entered a contract for service in 2016. This agreement called for WATI to provide rides to and from all medical facilities in the city of Watertown and PLH would pay the fare. When CTWSI was formed in 2019, the contract remained in place. In November of 2024, CTWSI and PLH finalized a contract for a ninth year. PLH also agreed to an increase in fares at the request of CTWSI administrators. CTWSI is a South Dakota Medicaid provider and continues to provide rides for those sponsored trips to varied locations across the region. The most frequent destinations are Sioux Falls, Watertown, Aberdeen and Brookings in SD and Bismarck and Fargo, ND. Other destinations in SD have included Yankton, Redfield, Desmet, Milbank, Mobridge, Ipswich, Webster, Britton, Pierre, Mitchell and Rapid City. There have been trips booked to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MM and the U. of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Indian Health Services has utilized CTWESI for medical trips in our service area. CTWSI signed an MOU with River Cities Transit in 2020 to transport Veterans as part of the Highly Rural Transportation Grant. This grant allows CTWSI to transport qualified veterans in the counties designated as highly rural (less than 7 people per square mile) to appointments in a variety of locations. The HRTG pays the fare to CTWSI for the rides. In our coverage area, Deuel, Clark, Day, Marshall, Spink, Faulk, McPherson and Campbell counties are considered highly rural.Our overall increase in ridership is considered an accomplishment because of the impact our service had in our communities. Overall, the CTWSI ridership increased by over 8,000 in one year - from 182,002 to 190,603. Watertown's ridership increased by 13,000 rides from 70,500 to 83,614. The biggest increase was in rides for employment, which became the leading category for transportation. Overall, education remains the largest category for riders followed by medical and employment rides. CTWSI became approved vendors for the Veterans.Administrators continue to speak to any audience about the benefits and the workings of public transit. We assume the outreach we do is at least partially responsible for the large growth in ridership numbers. Social media is still our favorite source for advertising. We are in the process of revamping our website and are excited about the possibilities in the future. Word of mouth is still our most beneficial method of reaching the public and so we continue to be a face in the crowd as much and as often as possible.We are a member of the SD Transit Providers Association, Dakota Transit Association and Community Transportation of America. Co-Executive Director Terry Hoffman was elected as the new president of the DTA in October. He replaced CTWSI's other Co-Executive Director Kathy Holman as the previous president Kathy remains on the same board for one more year ending in the fall of 2026. 2417665 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 96 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 SD X X Kathy Holman 6056987511 811 4th Ave E Sisseton SD 57262 Randy Tupper President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dave Gleason Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Brenda Hanten Treasurer/Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Hugh Bartles Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Rau Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marjean Gab Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Schuller Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Smith Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Hanson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dwight Hossle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Tostenson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Heinecke Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Holman Co-Executive Director 40.00 X 98269 0 11189 Terry Hoffman Co-Executive Director 40.00 X 85511 0 11724 183780 0 22913 0 0 0 0 0 2783060 366177 3149237 Ride Income 900099 463837 463837 Medicaid Income 900099 356670 356670 Transportation Project 485000 283449 283449 1103956 37595 37595 4746 2842 1904 1904 1904 4292692 1103956 0 39499 210867 144866 66001 1549666 1089008 460658 51203 28674 22529 167553 77137 90416 46225 46225 93110 93110 59573 59573 9090 9090 49026 31851 17175 52214 52214 22757 9100 13657 305395 229839 75556 636483 572835 63648 160292 125619 34673 Repairs and maintenance 101725 101725 Miscellaneous 68151 7011 61140 Dues and licenses 4934 4934 3588264 2417665 1170599 0 1511735 307357 538774 1687710 138638 7659 139762 227816 47831 18225 5284219 2757053 1691996 2527166 14465 14465 4083201 4790398 137229 139998 137229 139998 X 3945972 4650400 3945972 4650400 4083201 4790398 704428 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2271128 2145008 2287033 2641898 3149237 12494304 2271128 2145008 2287033 2641898 3149237 12494304 12494304 3737 3959 9882 24207 37595 79380 12573684 4803556 0.99370 0.99080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3880 3880 559645 23062 536583 4720694 2733991 1986703 2527166 4292692 0 4292692 0 4292692 3588264 0 3588264 0 3588264 Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Although program activities are identified separately, they operate as part of one integrated transportation system with shared staff, assets, administration, and funding. Revenues and expenses are therefore reported together under one program service accomplishment, as allocating costs among individual activities would not accurately reflect actual operations. This reporting method is consistent with how the organization manages, budgets, and evaluates its transportation services.
