How to apply for River Valley Regional Transit — Clay County
River Valley Regional Commission — Georgia DHS Rural Transit Program
Who it's for
The River Valley Regional Commission holds Georgia's DHS rural-transit contract for Clay County (Fort Gaines) and arranges demand-response, curb-to-curb rides through local transport providers. There are no fixed routes — trips are scheduled in advance for medical appointments, senior centers, shopping, and essential errands. Older adults can arrange rides through the River Valley ADRC at 706-256-2910.
River Valley regional transit is demand-response (no fixed routes), reserved in advance; trip availability depends on capacity and funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of Clay County residency
- Advance ride reservation (typically 24 hours ahead)
