Transportation services are available to residents of Union County through limited NCDOT funded grant programs or through sponsorship of a local human service agency. Some grant-funded trips require the passenger pay a fare to share in the cost of the service. Fares range from $20 for a round-trip to Charlotte to $2 for a one-way trip within Union County. The determination of the requirement to pay a fare is determined at the time of registration and may be dependent upon the type of trip being scheduled.

Transportation services are provided to the clients of contracting human service agencies such as Department of Social Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veteran Services, and Senior Nutrition. Eligibility requirements for these agency trips include but are not limited to: 

• senior citizen at least 60 years of age
• A developmentally disabled adult
• Medicaid client
• A veteran eligible for medical treatment at a VA Hospital or clinic
• Physically disabled

The meetings of the Transportation Advisory Board are open to the public and are held at the Transportation offices on the First Thursday of January, April, July, and October at 12:00 p.m.
