How to apply for Mitchell County Transportation Authority — Demand-Response Public Transit (Mitchell County)
Mitchell County Transportation Authority (MCTA) — the county's NCDOT-funded community transportation system serving the general public, older adults, and riders with disabilities.
Who it's for
Mitchell County Transportation Authority (known locally as MCTA) provides demand-response rides for Mitchell County residents — to work, shopping, the pharmacy, and in-county and out-of-county medical appointments. Vehicles are fully accessible for people with disabilities. Schedule rides in advance by calling 828-688-4715.
Mitchell County: MCTA is a general-public demand-response system, so riders younger than 65 can also use it; the age gate here is a conservative catalog model because the operator does not publish a senior reduced-fare age. Vehicles are fully accessible for people with disabilities.
What you'll need
- Proof of Mitchell County residency
- For ADA service: documentation of disability
