Who it's for
Whitley County Transit, run by the Whitley County Council on Aging, transports Whitley County residents of any age — to work, school, medical appointments, the grocery, the pharmacy, and more. Seniors age 60 and over ride within the county on a donation-only basis, and service is not denied to anyone unable to donate. General-public in-county fares run $6.00 to $17.00 one way by distance ($29 one way out of county); children under 12 ride free with an adult. Reserve 48 hours ahead at 260-248-8944 ext. 1 (toll-free 800-290-1697), phones open 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
Whitley: open to everyone; riders 60+ pay only a donation in-county (no one is turned away). Call 260-248-8944 ext. 1 two days ahead, mornings.
