How to apply for Robeson County SEATS Public Transportation
South East Area Transit System (SEATS), Robeson County
Who it's for
The South East Area Transit System (SEATS) is the public, NCDOT-funded community transportation service for Robeson County (Lumberton). It runs established routes across the county Monday through Friday and schedules out-of-county medical trips to places like Fayetteville, Pinehurst, Laurinburg, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh. All vehicles are ADA accessible for riders with disabilities. Rides are scheduled in advance; call SEATS at 910-618-5679 by noon the day before a trip.
This is a demand-response and route 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 Robeson County residency
- Advance ride reservation (typically at least one business day ahead)
