How to apply for GOJO public transit (City of Jonesboro, formerly JET) — Craighead in Arkansas

Who it's for

GOJO, the City of Jonesboro's public transit system (formerly Jonesboro Economical Transit, or JET), runs fixed-route buses and paratransit across Jonesboro, including service to Arkansas State University. Fixed-route fares are $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for senior citizens 65 and older and Medicare riders; paratransit is $2.50. Ask for the discounted fare and show valid identification when boarding. Paratransit is for riders with a functional mobility limitation who cannot use the fixed-route bus, and riders must qualify. Call GOJO at 870-935-5387. Rural riders elsewhere in Craighead County can also call North East Arkansas Transit (NEAT).

What you'll need

• None to ride the bus; paratransit needs an approved ADA paratransit application
