Director
 My name is Rudy P. Dutko. I am the Director of the Fayette County Office of Human and Community Services, Fayette Area Coordinated Transportation (FACT). Our Mission here at FACT is to serve the residents of Fayette County by providing safe, reliable and quality public transportation services designed to meet your needs and to help improve your quality of life regardless of your age, income or mobility requirements. Our transportation services include daily fixed-route schedules (i.e. bus services on a repetitive and fixed schedule along a designated route with buses picking-up passengers at specific locations and delivering them to specific locations) and shared-ride schedules (i.e. curb to curb transportation services). FACT is going your way. So, come ride with us. We will get you there safe and on time.

He has been a guest speaker at multiple Fayette County Bar Association’s Continuing Education Seminars, for Penn State’s Paralegal Program on multiple occasions, for the Private Industry Council’s Dads Matter Program and for a local church group. He has dedicated his professional life to serving the needs of others and believes that one of the ways in which we may improve our community is through helping our neighbors.

He served a 3 yr term on the Saint Vincent College Alumni Council and a 1 yr term on the Board of Directors with the Uniontown East End United Community Center.
Rudy believes that working in public service is a calling or passion that comes from within and is by no means a glamorous job geared towards financial reward. However, he has seen that even with the smallest task, the quality of someone’s life may be improved and that he knows to be priceless.
