How to apply for Hall Area Transit (Dial-A-Ride + Gainesville Connection) — Hall County

City of Gainesville — Hall Area Transit

Who it's for

Hall Area Transit, operated by the City of Gainesville, has served Gainesville and Hall County since 1983. It runs the Gainesville Connection fixed-route bus in the city and a Dial-A-Ride curb-to-curb service for the outlying areas of Hall County. Dial-A-Ride uses a distance-based fare starting at $2.00 (0–2 miles) and rising with distance, available Monday through Friday; reserve curb-side van service by calling 48+ hours ahead.

Hall Area Transit offers a fixed-route Gainesville Connection bus plus Dial-A-Ride curb-to-curb service (distance-based fare from $2.00, M–F, 48-hour advance reservation). Dial-A-Ride availability depends on capacity, so this shows as a may-qualify result.

What you'll need

  • Proof of Hall County residency
  • Advance reservation for Dial-A-Ride (48+ hours)
