History:
On June 26, 1998, East Dakota Transit, Inc. (EDT) was organized for the purpose of continuing to serve the needs of ECCO, Community Counseling, and Inter-lakes Community Action. The ridership has grown to include the general public, children going to school, and children going to daycare providers. The transportation program today is managed by Inter-lakes Community Action Partnership.
