In 1991 Cherokee Strip Transit, originally known as Garber Elderly Transportation Systems (GETS) began meeting the basic transportation needs of elderly clients in eastern Garfield County. With the great demand for public transportation, CST has seen many changes and expansion of services due to signing a contract with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in 1995 and the merger with NODA in March of 1999. The main office is still located in Garber with satellite offices in Perry, Tonkawa, Watonga and Kingfisher. CST vehicles provide transportation for shopping, medical needs and schooling in the counties served.
