MARATHON, N.Y. — Cortland Transit has extended one of its routes to make it easier for workers to get to Square Deal Machining, Inc. (SDMI).
Bus route 5, which runs twice a day each morning and again in the afternoon, will now run past the four corners in Marathon to Square Deal’s facility on Route 11.
“This extension will assist with SDMI’s expansion and need for employees. SDMI, which currently employs hundreds of people and is rapidly expanding, is offering new hires one month of free bus fare to and from the plant,” according to a release from the company.
