Sara L. McGavock
Executive Director

Hello, I am the Executive Director of Ripley County Transit. I was born and raised in Doniphan, MO. Ripley County is home and always will be. I will strive to be the absolute best I can be for the Transit to continue to serve our members needs on a daily basis with kindness, compassion and a giving heart.

I am married to my high school sweetheart of 24 years, we have two great kids. Sarina is a 19 year old college student and Trevor is a 17 year old boy who is working to reach a dream of working with cars.

I have worked at the Transit for 8 years and have come up from the Assistant Dispatcher/Clerk to  the Executive Director. I love the Transit and everything about it. I look forward to serving this community for years to come.

Kristy Bailey
Assistant Director

My name is Kristy Bailey, I am the Assistant Director at Ripley County Transit. I moved to Doniphan in 2010 and fell in love with the area. I have been married to Josh Bailey for 16 years. We have two children, CW is our son, he is 15 years old and my daughter Hannah is 11 years old. We love raising our family in Doniphan.

 

Laura hired me at the Transit in December 2021, and it has been home since that day. I love working here, I enjoy working everyday with the drivers, clients and all the people we get to meet from the community. The transit is an amazing place to work and just to be. We enjoy what we do, that makes it a lifestyle, not a job. I look forward to all I can do to help serve the community with the Transit and watch it grow and progress over the years.
