Ozark Regional Transit is replacing the 20 buses it lost in a fire with buses like this from ARBOC Specialty Vehicles.

Since losing most of its 20 buses in a fire in January 2017, Ozark Regional Transit has been working to rebuild its fleet. Yesterday, ORT displayed some of its new buses at its Springdale headquarters. Officials say the new fleet will be in the region by August.
