OATS, Inc. has developed a program to provide a well-deserved reward for our safe drivers. The award is based on the number of years a driver has driven for OATS without a chargeable (preventable) accident.
OATS drivers must average 500 hours per year and drive for two full years without an accident to be eligible for an award. A driver loses one year of eligibility for each accident they have. The award consists of a pin, which shows the number of safe driving years. The following OATS drivers received awards on Dec. 31: Jack Smith, Kidder-14 years; Carolyn Toney, Gallatin-7 years; Leona Waterbury, Jamesport-3 years;
OATS, Inc. began as a pilot project in 1971 serving eight counties. Today, the private, non-profit organization operates in 88 counties. The door-to-door service is available to persons of any age/senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and the rural general public.
