How to apply for Area of Richmond Transit
Area of Richmond Transit (ART) / Richmond Interagency Transportation, Inc.
Who it's for
Area of Richmond Transit (ART), operated by Richmond Interagency Transportation, is the community transportation service for Richmond County (Rockingham). It provides affordable, wheelchair-accessible rides for medical visits, shopping, and essential errands in and around the county. Tell the office if a wheelchair lift is needed. Rides are scheduled in advance; call 910-895-1313 to book or cancel a trip.
This is a demand-response community transportation service reserved in advance; trip availability and any senior or disability fare reduction depend on capacity and grant funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of Richmond County residency
- Advance ride reservation (typically at least one business day ahead)
