Hoke Area Transit Service (HATS), Hoke County
Who it's for
Hoke Area Transit Service (HATS) is the county-operated, door-to-door public transportation system for Hoke County (Raeford), serving residents for whom getting around is difficult. Vehicles are accessible for riders with disabilities. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours ahead; call HATS at 910-875-8696, or seniors can call Hoke County Senior Services at 910-875-8588 about medical transportation.
This is a demand-response community transportation service reserved in advance (at least 48 hours ahead); trip availability and any senior or disability fare reduction depend on capacity and grant funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
