Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, your wifele will say, you're about as deep as

Speaker 3 (03:03):
But we're going to get to realty in real estate

to talk about Jude Security because they were one of
our sponsors of the show and h it's one of
the family that of the Mens group, and you're a
you're a customer of Jute and it's j O O T.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Security to talk briefly about you. Yeah, so Jude, of course,
it's a mutual friend of ours and guy that works
in our office. But I subscribe to that have more,
have for more than I don't know, guess we're two
years or something like that. With that system, it's still
alarm dot Com just has everything protected, has everything available
from front doorbell for us with front doorbell cameras on
(03:45):
the front in the back of the house. We get
alerts just like any other normal system. We get alerts
that you know, any movement, whether that's you can set
that for the interesting part. You can set it for
human animal or UFO. I was gonna say ones are
the most interesting ones. Of course, there are typically you know,
a wasp or something that will set that thing off.
(04:06):
But it is unidentified objects out there.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
All this time they've talked about UFOs and military cover
ups and so on. All they had to do was
called Jude Security Adam and they had they had it
figured out a lot of time.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It was already being tracked.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, and the consultation is is free as uh as
always and you can visit the website protected by JUTS
j O O T dot com. All right, let's talk
real estate. Put your rich the realtor hat back on
for a moment, and uh uh, You've got listings rich
all over you know that, all over the valley, Charleston, Charleston,
the Huntington and all points in between. I'm gonna talk
specifically about a few listings you have in Tay's Valley
(04:41):
right now.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I've got a couple of really nice ones in
in the valley. Both have hurricane zip codes. The first
one I'll mention is just the one that's in our
in the Stonegate subdivision. This is one of the castle
like homes that are from the Old School of Stonegate.
If you don't know where that is, just just off
of the exit the thirty nine. They're headed toward Windfield.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Just yea off the tayste Valley exit pasted Liberty Square.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And you know that's Apple's one beautiful subdivision has a
full acre of land. This house is a little over
eighty five hundred square feet, so it's it is large
and has six bedrooms and five and a half baths,
full basement. Uh. This house has two kitchens in its
surprisingly right, kind of like next to each other, and
the current occupants the sellers thought that was kind of
(05:28):
strange when they first bought it, but they use it
all the time. First kitchen is kind of used as
the prep area when they're entertaining, and they do a
lot of entertainments you can imagine on that size, so
they'll prep a lot of stuff in the one that's
kind of toward the back and then serve out of
the other kitchen. So it's it's worked out very well.
Huge entertainment space out back, three wet bars in the
(05:50):
in the house, throughout the house, and it is gorgeous. Though.
To call your agent if you don't have one, call me.
I'd love to show you that house. Fourteen it's fourteen
stone Gate Drive in Hurricane. It's listed at eight seventy
four to nine.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay, all right, what else you got.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I listed one in the Woods and Irons subdivision this
week actually actually last Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Which is one of the I mean, Stone Gates great,
but Woods and Irons is like one of the top
two or three subdivisions a day's glass.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So beautiful, five bedroom, three and a half bath. This
house has fully brand new carpet all upstairs and new
paint throughout. Leslie built home right at three thousand square feet,
has a pool, fenced in yard, has a deck on
the back that's been sheltered in, and new sighting around
(06:36):
that and all that. It's just beautiful out there.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It's and it's a great neighborhood too.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's fabulous neighborhood and there you know, we obviously we
have mutual friends that live out there and everyone. At
one point, Woods and Irons was the place to be,
and it's still very desirable.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, and I think about the way that Tay's Valley
has grown and the way it is continuing to grow now,
is it was the place to be Now there are
several places to be inta value and it's one of
the great things about living there are.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
There are several nice neighborhoods there.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
And the thing about. We talked about Putnam County too.
It's not I mean we we talk we've talked this
morning primarily about homes and subdivisions. But there's a lot
of of of rural properties available if you want to
if you want to do that to me across the
river over into places like Buffalo and Eleanor and I
know you get stuff over there too. There's plenty of
property over there too, if you if you need a
little bit more room.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, if you're look up for space, And that's probably
the number one requested things these days, particularly buyers who
are new to the market are just coming into West Virginia.
They're looking for they don't really necessarily want to be
in a subdivision. They don't want neighbors right across the
street from them, even they are privacy fences or whatever.
But uh, you know, it is one of the most
sought out uh search criterias, is to give us a
little room. I'd like to have some acreage if we
(07:46):
can get it. And so those are a little more
uh that there are fewer and further between, but and
they're a little more of a fight to get to them.
Lots of people looking for them.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Talking to Rich the realtor of Meeks Realty to Day
Island show on five any Line broad Toomed parted by
Pinnacle Consultants. Pinnaclefre's a four phase assessment for your properties. Inspection,
sampling and analysis, comprehensive reporting, management to planning. Visit Pinnacle
Court dot net. Because what you don't know can't hurt you.
And we're going to talk about this a little bit
later on and I know we're going to get into
it on midday and also on the show tomorrow at
ten am. This morning, there's going to be an economic
(08:16):
development announcement coming out of Putnham County and has to
do with Eleanor and they've kind of embargoed a little bit.
We can't say a whole lot about it right now.
We're covering it and of course we'll have it on
air in a WV Metronews dot com and we're going
to have one of the folks from the company actually
I think it's somebody probably from the marketing department or
the PR firm. It's going to join us on Metro
News Midday during the twelve o'clock hour I think it
(08:37):
is today, and then we'll have them on the local
show tomorrow. But I say that because it's just another
announcement about things coming into Putnham County. This particular one
is in the Eleanor area. And I know not everybody
that's going to work there is going to live in Eleanor.
I get that, but you do have properties and that
it is Eleanor is a cool place.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah. So the thing about Eleanor is that it's always
interesting to be talking the buyers and particularly people who
already lived there of Eleanor is a very desirable area
to be and it's always a little surprising to me.
It's across the river from you know, the highways, a
little fifteen minute track back or whatever to the Gucci
Kroger and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But people the Pradut Kroger, Gucci, Oh the product, yeah,
were the product Kroger. Gucci's the one in South Charles
and South Charles.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, people who live in the Eleanor and when we
sell them a house there in Eleanor that they love
that little town.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It is the cleanest town and its Virginia's town. When
you pull into town, they have a sign that says
the cleanest town in West Virginia.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It is it's just it's an interesting little town. It's
the one that doesn't deliver the mail. You've got to
go to the post office. But people just they just
love it over there. It's a beautiful area. It is
a beautiful area. I suspect that those home values, well,
the home values, you know, we'll see what happens with that,
but there'll definitely be some desirability with this new announcement
of more and more people coming to Alan.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I mean, it's amazing what's going on of there. Had
the mayor of Hurricane on, I've had him on several times.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They just announced that huge entertainment complex that they're building
in downtown Hurricane and the other fire.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Going to be the Yeah yeah after Edwards.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, Mayor Edwards sorry announced yeah yeah he he he yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
He wanted me.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
He agreed to come on the show on short notice
if I would agree to be the first person to
karaoke there. And as I said on the show last week,
to quote my late father, that boy sings in the
key of L, well it sounds like L. You just
got to say it fast, you know, for maybe maybe
Dad and I thought that was funnier than then than
it really is. But yeah, I did agree to do it. Uh,
and it's not going to be pretty so probably the
(10:34):
probably stay away, probably stay it, probably stay away. But
and we got all the homes that are coming in
there on that property, and you know, the three or
four just went in not far from where I lived,
behind Wendy's and whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And uh, I think they're cutting the ribbon on that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yes, yeah, I mean, and people are already you know,
living there. I mean, there's U hauls coming in. It's
just uh, it's it's a it's a great and people,
you know, complain about traffic. Rich you know, traffic is
a good problem. It's a great problem to have. And
there are people just coming to Putnam County. It's just
like the nineteen nineties. I wasn't there in the nineties,
(11:08):
but that's what they say is there was this big
influx with people in the nineties and it kind of
leveled off a little bit. It's the leveling is done.
They're coming back again.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely drawing some people. And it
is again like the Eleanor folks that want to live there.
And the number one search area for my buyers is
in Putnam County, it just is. I mean, we sell
them all over the state. You know, my board covers
fourteen counties that we that we associate with, but Puttnham
(11:36):
County is the most desirable one.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Now as we gear as we'll let you go here.
But as we get into the to the fall months,
which you know, it was eighty seven degrees when I
left the studio here yesterday doesn't feel like faul but
officially it is fall. October starts tomorrow. What kind of
changes do you see in the in the in the
real estate market to people, you know, more more active
because we want to be in a new home, buy
for the winter or for Christmas or what's the differences
(11:59):
between the different seasons.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I would say that there's fewer variables driving home
sales during the fall time. But you know, life happens
to people. And I know, for the time that I've
been out into the business, outside of last year, December
was one of my busiest months. I mean, it just
has been for years, and people trying to get in
maybe maybe I don't know if it's about the holiday necessarily,
but maybe by the end of the year they're trying
(12:22):
to button things up and be where they're going to be.
And but you know, life happens to Folks are buying
houses no matter what time of the year it is.
And you know there's schools, you know, school changes aren't
driving that right now, which is the spring selling season
that happens. And but but there's still you know, still
a lot of buying and selling going on. And if
you're not you know that people think when should I
(12:42):
you know, want when should I jump into the market.
I say do it when you're when you're ready to
jump in. You need a house, jump in and you

Car Show coming this Saturday to Charleston, but more than
just a car show. Jerry Boyko is here to talk
about it. Good morning, Sarah, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
Good morning, Thank you for having me, Thank you for
being here.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It's going to be at hand that Riverfront Park and
it's sponsored by the West Virginia State Wide Independent Living Council.
Before we get to the car show, let's talk about
because you're the executive director of this organization, talk about
the work that this group does.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Okay, well, our main priority is to in cooperation with
the seniors for independent living in the state. We create
the State Plan for Independent Living, which determines how federal
and state funds are spent on independent living to help
people in West Virginia with disabilities to stay in their
(16:51):
homes in communities.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And I was doing some reading and you know, you
set us up with some information about the organization, I mean,
and it's it's incredible some of the things that you
folks are able to do, as you said, to keep
people in their homes in the residence. Talk about some
of the things that you do.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Well. We have a back to school program we just
started to help kids with disabilities, you know, get back
into school. We have some organizations that help sponsor that
provide some backpacks and you know, items like that for school.
Of course, we do the car show to help raise
money for the CLSP program.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
We also.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
Administer a program called the ron Yo's Personal Assistance Services Program,
which helps reimburse people with disabilities for costs for their
caregiver so we can help them stay in their homes
as opposed as to going into a nursing home or
other institution.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, I love that. That's one of the things that
interested me when I was reading your information about the group,
because you know, sometimes, uh, these things obviously can be
very very expensive. And sometimes people who may have a disability,
and there's several different types of disabilities that you folks
deal with, but they they just need some modifications, they
(18:17):
just need something like that. They and otherwise they're perfectly
you know, content and happy and healthy to be in
their own homes. And it's it's just great work you
folks do there.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Sometimes it can be just as small as a rap
added to your home. And in other times someone may
need a full bathroom march so they can you know,
get into their bathroom and take a shower and do
what they need to do.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's a nine to twenty five a day violand show
and five any line brought you in part by your
hometown baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds, the Selango Law
Light the Night returning to Go Martin Ballpark November twenty
first through January first. Get your tickets in advance by
visiting Dblightthnight dot com. All right, so in order to
pay for these things, you got to have fundraisers and
you gotta have things like that. And so you got
this car show. It's going to be going on Saturday
(19:00):
at Hadad Riverfront Park, and it's more than just more
than just another car car show, because you've got all
kinds of things going on there, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
We do.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
We We are featuring vehicles that have successible modifications that
allow people with disabilities abilities to drive, like hand controls, uh,
lifts and ramps. And we also have a local mobility
company that's going to be there showcasing some of their vehicles.
(19:30):
Total Mobility Services will be there to kind of display
what they have and things that are available. Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And I mean I think this is a it's great
information for people to come out. Plus, I mean, if
you're you're a car person, you just want to look
at cars. I mean, you know, you want to look
at vehicles, no matter what kind they are, right.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
That's right. And we've got cars, trust, motorcycles. Uh, you know,
anything that is what's looking at we want to see
it at the show. We've got several classes. We're going
to be giving trophies for corvettes and muscle cars, mustangs, jeeps.
So bring them all out and have a chance at
winning a trophy and lots of good prizes. And I know.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I mean, my brother in law is a car show guy,
and I've gone to enough of them with him to
know that these these folks, they'll go to a car
show anywhere for as a possibility for a trophy. Right,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
And it looks like we're going to have a great day.
It looks like it's going to be nice and sunny.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
We also got, you know, some bands that's going to
be there. We got some food trucks, so we've got
everything for everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, that's what I was getting ready to say. I mean,
it's not just about the cars. I mean, you've got
food trucks happening, you got all kinds of bands, and
can you can you run down that schedule for us
a little bit?
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Absolutely? So the cars will start rolling in about nine
o'clock eleven am, the show stars, the bands start playing
until about six o'clock, so we'll have music all day long.
We're going to have the awards ceremony at four thirty
and during that award ceremony, we're also giving away what
we call the John Lipscomb Advocacy awards to to, you know,
(21:11):
an Advocate of the Year that is going to be
recognized for all of the work that they do to
help people with disabilities.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
That's good stuff. Again, we're talking with Jerry Boyko, who
is the executive director of the West Virginia state Wide
Independent Living Council. They're the ones that are sponsoring this
big event. Who are some of the bands? Do you
have a list of the bands that to be playing.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Yeah, so we're going to have Amanda Smith with Relative Acoustically,
and after that we'll have Relative Obscurity. They start at
one o'clock and at two we're going to have Acoustic Fusion.
They're going to be up on the boulevard, and then
lastly we're going to have Five Star Rebellion. And these
(21:52):
are all local bands that are volunteering their time and talent.
So I'd like to see everybody come out and support
them and health team like they're helping u US.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I mean, it's going to be a great day weather wise,
I mean you mentioned that earlier. I mean, you couldn't
ask for better weather. It's not going to be very
fall like and that's okay. I mean, t temperature is
going to be in the upper seventies to low eighties.
No chance of rain right now. The Mountaineers play on
Friday night, so you can't use that as an excuse
that you're staying home or going to watch the game
or going to Morgantown. So it's a late game, so
you might be a little bit groggy when you come
(22:22):
out there because they don't kick off till ten thirty.
And Marshall's off this week, so football is not going
to get Intoa, at least with WVU and Marshall.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Right, that's right, And you know we run into that
problem the last couple of years, and we did look
at that schedule, so we were glad to see the
Mountaineers play the day before, so you get to see
the football in, come out to the car show and
don't have to miss a thing.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All right, So give us all the rundown again, the
times and how just the case of people are tuning
in late, the times and the schedule.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Okay, so nine o'clock to eleven is the course should
be rolling in and getting registered. They can also register
early on our website and freedomcarshow dot org open to
the public at eleven. We shut down at six and
fans are playing all day long. The Wars ceremony starts
(23:13):
at four thirty. That's when we're going to give out
all the trophies and prizes then we've got and so
we hope to see everyone out there.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
All right, Jerry, I appreciate you being here. Best of
luck with everything. We'll see you Saturday, my friend. Thanks
a lot, all right, thank you, Jerry Boyko again, the
executive director of the West Virginia state Wide Independent Living Council.
The big car Show, the Freedom Car Show is happening
on the Boulevard and then had that Riverfront Park and
it will be this coming Saturday. And normally with these
(23:40):
car shows you have to say rain or shine. But
now it's not gonna be worrying about rain. I mean,
my handy little phone app tells me here that Saturday
it's going to be sunny and seventy nine here in
the capital city. So as a matter of fact, we
don't have any chance of rain the Forecastle next Tuesday,
which is a little bit problematic because we definitely only
definitely need some rain, but that's where we are right now.
(24:03):
But anyway, going out here and taking the car show,
it's going to be a great, great time. But Dave
Alan Show on five any Live is brought to impired
by Bridge Valley Community and Technical College. Insurance agents are
in demand in the state and all across the country.
Bridge Valley can help you take the first step there
insurance pre Sales Licensure course prepared to set for the
state required Property and Casualty Insurance Licenser Exam and start
(24:23):
your career in this ever growing field. Check out Bridge
Valley dot eedu for complete the tails Bridge Valley Community
and Technical College. Your career starts here. Do you want
to mention this quickly? Because there's so many activities going on,
as are always are, we can't possibly cover them all.
But I will tell you that this Saturday, and look,
you could do more than one thing at a time.
I mean, you can go to the car show, but
(24:44):
you can also join us in Saint Albans because myself
and Steve Animal and more likely Shockley, we are going
to be on the streets of Saint Albans. And anytime
you hear me say that that myself and Shockley and
Animal are on the streets of Saint you probably think
there's some kind of Shenanigan's going on or one of
us is face down, but that's not the case. We
(25:06):
have got the fall Y'all Chili cook Off and it
is happening this Saturday in in Charo in Saint All.
But it's going to be a great, great time. It
always is. In the Mountain or Sister Station ninety eight
seven of the Mountain will be there all over the place,
up on stage. Whatever got music, and of course we
got you know, we got chili, but we got other
(25:26):
things besides chili as well. Dave Rucker is one of
the folks that's behind this and he is going to
join us on the show on Thursday. He was on
last week, but he's going to join us on the
show Thursday to talk about it. But we're looking forward
to seeing everybody in St Albans right on Old Main,
right in the heart of everything. And again, as I said,
just like with the Car Show, it is going to
be Weather's going to be fantastic. So I hope you
(25:48):
can come out and join us. And I know the
Chili Cookoff is a big part of it. I had
a chance to judge it. I was one of the
judges last year and they rotate the judges every year.
Which I think is a good thing. You don't want
to always have the same judges. And I don't know,
so I don't have the entire list of judges, but
I do know our good friend Marrily mccauliffe from wowk
TV thirteen is going to be one of the judges,
and the food guy Stephen Keith is from The Gazette
(26:10):
Mail is also going to be one of the judges
this year. And I'm going to be hanging out, you know,
because you only when you judge chili, you only take
one bite and you put it down, and all that
chili just'ster where somebody should finish it off. So I'm
just saying I'll just get a fresh spoon and help
you out there. But anyway, that's happening in Saint Aubus
on Saturday. We'll talk more about it with Dave Rucker
coming up on the show on Thursday. Now, I got
(26:31):
a couple of texts here, and then we'll bring in
Sean Hill from KRT Texas. Good morning, Dave. This one's
about agriculture. Not really your thing, I know, but it's
how we stay alive.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Agreed.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
The question, can Magus explain to me why Trump wants
to spend twenty billion dollars or send rather, I'm sorry,
twenty billion dollars to Argentina to bail out their farmers
besides to prop up their government. That is a Maggart replica.
Couldn't that money be better spent on homeless veterans? Says
the text And to say it's not my thing. I'm
(27:01):
not necessarily into the agriculture thing as far as growing it,
but I am as far as eating it, because I
started eating as a young kid and just really never
gone out of the habit. Tex says, you spent a
lot of time talking about the rampant growth of Tays
Valley of Putnam County, yet census estimate shows slight population loss.
They're holding study best other than traffic and busy chainstwords
white criteria. Are you basing your growth narrative what major
(27:24):
employers are fueling the so called growth. I don't have
statistics in front of me, but I live in the
heart of it. I know what I see every day,
and I know in talking to Rich the realtor and
people like that, not just Rich but others, that there
is a growing demand for homes. People are moving in again.
I just know what I see because I live there.
I'm the Mayor of Tays Valley, as TJ. Meadows called me,
(27:45):
and I know what I see. And now maybe they're
moving in from other counties, you know, maybe they're moving
from Kennaar or Cabbal. I don't know, but people are
moving in. New Core is one of those. And there's
going to be, as I said earlier, a big economic
development announcement scaled for ten this morning. The Development Authority
in Putnam County, the Chamber and others are going to
be in Eleanor recovering that. You can hear all about
(28:07):

Seasons are changing, the kids are back in school and
cooler weather is on the way, But one thing that
always remains consistent is the car buying experience at Walker's
Chevrolet in Nitro. You see, that's because Gene and Ryan
built their business the old fashioned way by making friends.
There are no gimmicks or games at Walker, just honest,
fair deals, and the process at Walker is remarkably simple.
(29:33):
They help you find a vehicle that you love and
a deal that makes you smile. And don't forget Walker
is still buying cars too. Now, all makes and models
are welcome, and they'll give you a top dollar for it,
even if you plan to buy somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But why would you?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
You know, it's good to know that in a world
full of constant change, there are some things that remain
consistent and that some car dealers still believe in treating
you like a friend.

(31:11):
Sean Hill KRT is here. Hey doing my friend, I'm
doing fantastic. Thanks for having me, Thank you for being here.
So what's new? You had all kinds of stuff you
want to talk about today?
Speaker 12 (31:20):
We'll turn it over to you, Yes, sir, Yeah, We've
got a lot going on a KRT that we're excited
about it. The one thing I want to talk about
the most is starting October thirteenth, we're going to be
expanding our KRT Plus service. So we've we've started with
three zones over the last year, and now we're feeling
confident that we can expand those zones out. So starting
on October thirteenth, we're going to add Southridge, Knas City,
(31:42):
and South Charleston to that program. And as we've talked
about before and some of our hopefully our listeners are
aware of, this program is kind of our it's our
on demand ride share service ESQ, provided by KRT. So
you get on our KRT Plus app, you ask for
a ride, it comes and picks you up in your zone,
it takes you somewhere else in that zone, or it
gets you to the bus line.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
And you talk about it being I like that term
ride share ESK, yes, because that's I mean, that's pretty
much what it is. And you know, there was there
were some things in the news over to the last
of year and year and a half or sovice you, guys,
we're going to be cutting back and that's and that's
true and your traditional service, but you've in a way
added to it with this ride.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Share service exactly.
Speaker 12 (32:22):
And so what we were asked and we went through
about five public hearings and the feedback was fantastic and
I appreciate our passengers for coming out and giving us
and asking us, Hey, can you come up with an
idea where people we still have service of some type.
We understand you guys have budget realities and need to
be responsible with your funding, but can you do it
in a way that maintains service. So what we're talking
about is those three new zones coming on so that
(32:44):
we have six total, and then two of those routes
that we talked about for really literally for over three
years now, have said, hey, these routes are over subsidized.
I can't look you in the eye and say they
make sense for me to continue to ride buses up
and down you know, Bridge Road or Beach Avenue. But
what we can do is provide this service where instead
of living by krt's schedule where we come, you know,
six times a day through South Hills or Beach Avenue.
(33:06):
Now from six am to six pm, you can get
on your phone or you can call into our office.
You don't want to download the app, that's completely fine,
and ask for a ride and we'll come pick you up.
So now too, the citizens of Gawk County know, if
you see a KRT vehicle on October thirteenth and South
Hills are on Beach Avenue, it's because someone said, hey,
I want to ride. It's not just the fact that
it was driving around in circles.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
And that's unfortunately, that's kind of what happens, not just
with KRT, but with any public trains and service. Sometimes
you have more riders than you do.
Speaker 12 (33:32):
Other times exactly, and that's the point of making sure
that we keep this a liquid system. We learn from
what works, and if it's working, let's pump it up.
And that's what we see on the Kana River. We
actually increased our frequency to Saint Albans, Nitro, Montgomery, those
areas because we said, hey, the ridership demand is there.
The areas where it's not working, it's okay to admit
(33:52):
that and say, hey, how do we make an adjustment
that makes our dollar go further?
Speaker 6 (33:55):
And that's what this program does.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
How much input you talked about the public hearings anything.
We're talking with Sean Hill from krtwo. You talk about
the public hearings, You had several of them. What did
what did you go back in time? What did you
take away from those from those public hearings?
Speaker 12 (34:10):
The first thing I took away was to have to
have public hearings where you come out and say hey,
we're going to make a change, and if you do
that every ten or fifteen years, you better hang on.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Tight because you're gonna you're gonna get some feedback.
Speaker 12 (34:21):
Changes hard what you wanted. It is exactly what we wanted.
But it also taught us a lesson of hey, go slow,
have more of these meetings than than you, even on paper,
maybe think you need, because you want to make sure
you get all the feedback you can. And that that
resounding feedback to us was, hey, we're okay if you
make some changes, just don't do it all at once
and don't take it out away from us the service.
And that's what we've kind of even after three years,
(34:43):
we're at the point now where we're saying, okay, we're
ready to flip that switch on those two routes and
convert them over to this on demand transit uh. And
that's that's the culmination of that feedback from the public
and also us saying, hey, what ideas are out there
and technologies we can use to make our dollar go further.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
And everything's gon pretty smoothly. I mean again, change is hard,
we all know that, but everything's pretty much gone smoothing people.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
It has so over a year of doing this service.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
It's given us some data because what we want to
make sure is that we're methodical and how we roll
this out. You know, I could bring out twelve zones
all over Kanaha County and it would look great on paper,
but if you ask for a ride and it doesn't
show up. That was the frustrations we've had with transit
or with apps like Uber or lyft in Kanaha County.
So what we wanted to do was make sure we
could maintain that level of service where we had the
(35:31):
completion of the rides hovering up there. It's hovering around
ninety percent right now. We're happy with that, and we
think what that teaches us is that we could expand slowly,
and that's what we've done into three new groups.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
And what we'll do is we'll learn from there.
Speaker 12 (35:43):
Hey, if that demand or the completion rates drop substantially,
that means we need to bring on more drivers to
be able to perform that work. So we're going to
learn from the demand, but then keep that high level
of standard to make sure when people ask for a ride,
they get one.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
You talked about downloading the app, and you know, not
everybody's tech savvy, or maybe sometimes people don't trust apps
or they just you know, they got enough apps, you know,
as many of us do. Uh, So you can you
can just call you can just call do the old
fashion one.
Speaker 12 (36:13):
Yep, you can call our office. It's a three or
four three four three seven five eight six. You call
that number. One of our schedulers will they'll pick up
the phone into it for you. They'll they'll log it
in essentially just like the app. But I agree, I
don't want one more app on my phone, and this
is a way around that.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
So you can still receive the same exact service.
Speaker 12 (36:30):
The only difference is you know your notifications of hey,
your vehicle was five minutes away. Yeah, you won't get that,
but that's okay, You're still going to get picked up.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, and what uh what else is going on for
the future.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Sure.
Speaker 12 (36:41):
So another thing that's that's taken off in the last month,
about two weeks ago, we started our fair Capping initiative
and this was the introduction of account based ticketing, So
individuals can now load up a card. You think about, hey,
like I've got a Kroger card, or I've got a
Sheets card, et cetera. Or you've got to go mark card,
but you actually load this card up with your kart
(37:03):
to the balance. And what that does is we call
it fair capping because we experienced that individuals who rode
our buses may over the course of a month pay
more if they paid every single day then if they
just bought the month pass at the first day of
the month. So this fair capping program says, once you
hit fifty dollars in a month with KRT, the next
time you go to ride, it's going to say zero dollars.
(37:25):
That's something that we're really proud of because we think
it's taking into consideration in our passengers who ride daily.
It's giving them an incentive and helping them save money.
We don't feel good about the fact that if you
did the math and paid every single day, you ended
up paying more than the person who paid for it upfront.
So this is a nice initiative for us. And it's
also giving our passengers the ability to use this card
(37:47):
that loads their balance that they can reload at convenience stores,
et cetera. Instead of having to pay with cash every
time they get on the bus. They can still do that,
but they can do it quicker if they load up
at the city center down at Kart's headquarter.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
All right, so what does just to average? I mean,
I guess it varies, but give us an idea of
the of the prices. If you're paying for cash or whatever,
you don't get them. Yeah, so it's a dollar fifty
to ride the bus.
Speaker 12 (38:08):
That's kind of that same, you know, And depending on
how many times you ride in a day, the cap
for the day is three fifty. So if you you think,
if you did three fifty times, we're open twenty seven days.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
We take out Sundays. So you start doing that math.
Speaker 12 (38:21):
And if you just paid every single day, historically you
could pay over ninety dollars. I'm not a flunked math,
but ever ninety dollars. But now what we're saying is, hey,
the monthly pass is fifty dollars. So if you rode
every single day that krit is open in a month,
you were essentially, you know, giving us forty extra dollars.
And we appreciate that, but that's not the way we
want to do things. We want to make sure that
we're taking this technology that we're we're asking people to change,
(38:45):
but we're also saying, hey, it's going to improve your
lifestyle because that forty dollars can go further. That's, you know,
something you can reinvest back in your family instead of
giving it to Karty. Talk about your ridership numbers, Yeah,
so our ridership numbers. Historically, all of public transit took
a huge hit during COVID. It's a strange phenomenon. People
figured out other ways to get to work when either
(39:07):
service was disrupted. We have a resilient population in West
Virginians figure a way to get it done, and a
lot of those individuals who transition to another transit style
stuck to it. Because we went from about two million
riders a year, we're a little over one point one
million now. So that ridership did drop during COVID, and
we're starting to see it go back up. Some of
(39:27):
these programs to try to attract new writers maybe who
haven't historically ridden the bus but will take a KRT
plus home from somewhere has helped. But it's a real
challenge to get people to embrace this system and get
back on the bus.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
What what's the average rider look like? I mean, you know,
I don't it varies, but I mean the averaging the
employee that's coming into town. That sort of thing. I mean,
just just give give to a three average rider, you know,
I think the great thing.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
And we did a campaign a.
Speaker 12 (39:57):
Few years ago called the Faces of krt U. The
answer to that question is that they look like all
of us. You know, you have the gamut of individuals
who are trying to get to work, They're trying to
get their kids to school, they're trying to get to
medical appointments. They that that maybe they're paratransit because they
have some type of situation that has caused them hardship
and getting getting around as far as their own vehicles.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
You name it.
Speaker 12 (40:19):
If you you could look at anyone in Kanah County
and say, okay, that's someone who rides the bus on
a daily basis. And we're proud of that because we
make sure that we maintain a safe, reliable, convenient service
for our passengers.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
So it's hard to put a.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
Label on, Hey, this looks like someone who rides the bus, right,
I got you, I got you, because they're all out there.
But what we're most proud of is what we kind
of we connect people to opportunities, what we say, and
we're getting those people to work. So we want to
focus on the fact that we're a huge resource for
the economy in Kanawk County because we are getting.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
People to work.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
All right, well, let's before we let you go, let's
let's have you just do a little commercial here for Karaty.
Why should people use your services?
Speaker 12 (40:55):
Yeah, people should use kart services because we're connecting people
to opportunity, whether that's getting you to work, whether it's
getting you to school, medical appointments, grocery stores. We're going
to get you there, and we're going to do it
in the most reliable, safe, convenient, affordable way possible. And
we think we can compete really well with all the
other options out there. Get on the karts if it's
coming through your neighborhood, Look on the maps, look on
(41:18):
righton kart dot com to see where our new zones
are going. They're going to be servicing South Ridge, Kanas City,
and South Charleston now, So we're excited about that and
we're excited to have you on our buses.

giving the Argentina government any money at this point. He's
given a guarantee that the United States will stand behind
their economy if certain benchmarks are not met. It could
(44:42):
potentially mean money to their lender down the road, but
unlikely to happen. The fact that the US is giving
a guarantee makes it more likely that they will succeed,
says a Texter. The President as we speak is in

Selingo Law. Chris Hamilton from the West Virginia Coal Association
will stop by the Coal Association. I don't want to
say that they're taking a victory lap right now, but
they're pretty hopeful about some things for the future as
it pertains to energy and some rollbacks of some regulations,
(46:31):
and so mister Hamilton is going to join us to
talk about that on this show today. There, as I've
been mentioning throughout the day, a big economic announcement planned
for Putnam County at ten o'clock this morning. We're going
to break all that down for you on the show.
I'm mentioned earlier about this meeting of military minds that's
going on today in Washington. We're going to get into
(46:53):
that story a little bit later on, plus more on
the government shutdown or potential government shutdown. I mean, you
shut this puppy down as of you know what is
at midnight tonight. I guess if something is not reached
some sort of of an agreement and a programming note,
Senator Shelley Moore Capito is going to be on talk
Line today with Wilson and Meadows talking about that very
(47:14):
thing and the difference with this shutdown this time. We've
had shutdowns in the past and you you well remember that,
but this one they are saying that if it's shut
down that some of these jobs are not returning, that
they're just going to be eliminated. So we're going to
get into that coming up on the show later today
(47:36):
as well. Just added to the show touris some secretary
from the say to West Virginia, Chelsea Ruby, is going

for Putnam County today. We're going to have the people
on Midday today, but I'm also going to have them
on the local show tomorrow because once the announcement is
made at ten this morning, we're going to have to
go and get workers for these jobs. And so the
(48:20):

dot com. We'll have it on air and online. We'll
get into it on Metro News Midday today, but tomorrow
we are going to have those folks on to talk
about a job fair that they're going to be having
to try to hire workers for it, So we'll get
into that on the show tomorrow. Also on the show tomorrow,

going to. I think they're dug in yep.
