Our Story

The Trolley Company was started

in 2009 by Eva Ritchey. Eva was

joined by two civic minded women,

Shirley Palmer-Hill and

Verna Shipman. They envisioned

a unique trolley system in downtown

Hendersonville, North Carolina.

After the pilot project ended at the

end of the summer and it was

evident that public funding was not

available, Eva decided to go into

business with the owner of the other trolley in the pilot project.

In 2013 he decided to pursue

other goals and Eva is now the

sole owner of The Trolley Company.

Eva has been an advocate for mass

transit for more than twenty years. She

loves trolleys. In her words, "Trolleys

are rolling communities. They create a

sense of fun. People don't think of

them as mass transit. They think of

them as fun."

The Trolley Company hopes to offer

many years of excellent service (and

fun!).
