About Us
Our History
NATS began operation as a public transportation agency in March 1981. Two years of planning and research were done prior to the start of the first route for NATS. Route authority was applied for and granted for Baxter, Boone, Fulton, Izard, Marion, Newton and Searcy Counties and parts of Carroll and Madison Counties.
Mission Statement
As a non-profit organization, NATS is committed to our core values of providing safe, reliable and accessible transportation, maintaining affordability along with continued growth, and superior standards of courtesy and professionalism toward our clients and employees.
Progress in Every Mile
NATS primarily started as a commuter service providing low-cost transportation to the workplace for those employees who live in the most rural areas served. The Service began with four small vans serving Boone and Newton counties and parts of Carroll and Madison counties. By the end of the first year of operation, the fleet had grown to nine vehicles and had provided more than 2,200 passenger trips for employee purposes. NATS' fleet of vehicles now consists of 64 vans and small buses, two crew cab pick-up trucks, two service trucks, and one SUV.
By the end of 2025, NATS vehicles will have traveled more than 668,000 miles, providing more than 94,000 passenger trips.
