PATS Spirit of Thanksgiving Food Drive

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, passengers will be able to ride Paducah Area Transit System fixed route buses by simply donating a canned food item on Monday, November 23rd, and Tuesday November 24th. People can also bring canned food items to PATS’ Transit Station at 850 Harrison Street in Paducah.

On Wednesday, November 25th, PATS personnel will gather all the donated food items at the main Terminal at 850 Harrison Street in Paducah, and present them to the Paducah Cooperative Ministries Food Pantry. While PATS is involved in a number of events promoting good will and helping people throughout the entire year, Thanksgiving is a special time to remember our blessings, so PATS would like to do something extra, and give our passengers and others in the community another avenue for helping.

FREE DAY FRIDAY on PATS Fixed Routes

Friday, October 30th is FREE DAY on PATS Fixed Route Buses!
From 6 AM until 6 PM, anyone can hop aboard PATS' fixed routes and ride for no charge.

PATS Employees, Public Receive Flu Vaccine

Almost 60 Paducah Area Transit System employees, passengers and members of the public rolled up their sleeves in hopes of avoiding the flu this year. PATS’ annual flu shot clinic was once again a big success, with a total of 57 receiving the seasonal flu vaccine. All morning, Thursday, October 22nd, a steady stream of people lined up at PATS main office at 850 Harrison Street for the shots from the Purchase District Health Department.

Members of the public received their shots for only $20 per person, with the vaccine provided free to Medicaid and Medicare recipients. Today's clinic was for the seasonal, not the much publicized H1N1 or swine flu, however PATS hopes to host a clinic for H1N1 later this year, should there be enough vaccine.

Green Route Detour

PATS' Green Route is being detoured today for railroad work on the track on Husbands Road after turning off Benton Road.

The Green Line has to continue down Benton Rd to Abell Drive, to Victor to Yarbro to Homewood before getting back onto Husbands Rd.

It's not known how long the work and therefore the detour continues.

UPDATE: Green Route is back to Normal!
