How to apply for Clay County Transportation — Senior & ADA Service (Clay County)
Clay County Transportation — the county's NCDOT-funded community transportation system based in Hayesville, providing demand-response rides for all Clay County residents, including wheelchair-accessible vans for riders with disabilities.
Who it's for
Clay County Transportation gives rides to any Clay County resident, with priority help for older adults and people with disabilities getting to medical appointments, the senior center, shopping, and errands. Vans with wheelchair lifts are available. Trips are booked ahead — give 2 to 3 business days' notice. Call 828-389-0644 for routes and fares.
Senior fare age is assumed at 60 (the aging-network threshold) because the operator did not publish a senior-fare age online; call to confirm the current fare and schedule a ride.
What you'll need
- Proof of Clay County residency
- Advance ride reservation (2–3 business days)
