How to apply for Calhoun Transit (under Calhoun County Senior Citizens Association) — Door-to-Door Paratransit

Calhoun Transit — operated as a division of Calhoun County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. (CCSCA), the 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving as the local AAA delivery partner under Advantage Aging Solutions (PSA 2) and the designated Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program in Calhoun County; office at 16859 NE Cayson Street, Blountstown FL 32424

Who it's for

Calhoun Transit is operated as a division of Calhoun County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. (CCSCA) — the same 501(c)(3) nonprofit that runs Meals on Wheels and the Calhoun County Senior Center. CCSCA's integrated three-division model includes (1) the Senior Citizens Association central hub, (2) Calhoun Transit for transportation, and (3) Calco Travel as a specialized seniors travel agency. Calhoun Transit serves as the designated Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program in Calhoun County. The service is door-to-door paratransit coordinating medical and non-medical trips. Eligibility uses the Florida TD framework: age 60+ OR documented disability OR low-income transportation-disadvantaged status — any one of three pathways qualifies. Trip purposes include non-emergency medical, nutrition trips to the Senior Center congregate dining, shopping, recreation, and other daily needs. Calhoun County does NOT operate a fixed-route bus system. Office hours M-F 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Apply by calling CCSCA at 850-674-4163 or toll-free 800-391-6134.

Calhoun County has NO fixed-route public bus system — Calhoun Transit (CCSCA paratransit) is the only public-transit option. All trips require advance reservation; same-day rides are typically not available. Florida TD framework's three-pathway eligibility (60+ OR disability OR low-income) is broad, so most Calhoun seniors qualify. Trip purposes are broader than peer counties — CCSCA's integrated AAA model means transit can be coordinated with same-agency Meals on Wheels and Senior Center activities. For tertiary medical care, Calhoun seniors are typically referred to Calhoun Liberty Hospital (local, fl.calhoun.calhoun_liberty_hospital) for initial care or Ascension Sacred Heart Bay (Panama City) / Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare for tertiary. The integrated CCSCA model makes service coordination operationally simple — one phone call (850-674-4163) can arrange transit + meals + senior center registration.
