Southern Georgia Regional Commission
Who it's for

There are no fixed routes — trips must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead. Riders 60 and older can arrange rides through the Southern Georgia ADRC at 1-888-732-4464. Other riders are directed to their local transit provider; general SGRC questions go to 229-333-5277.
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.
