How to apply for Kerr Area Transportation Authority Community Transportation (Vance County)
Kerr Area Transportation Authority (KARTS), the NCDOT-funded regional community transportation system serving Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance, and Warren counties.
Who it's for
The Kerr Area Transportation Authority, known as KARTS, runs door-to-door, demand-response vans that meet ADA requirements and serve all of Vance County as part of its five-county region. Rides go to medical visits, the senior center, shopping, and anywhere else in the service area. KARTS publishes one fare table based on trip distance — there is no separate senior rate on it. Reduced-cost and no-cost rides for older adults and riders with a disability come through sponsoring programs such as the Area Agency on Aging and county social services, so call KARTS and ask which programme can cover your trip before you pay the standard fare.
KARTS is demand-response — call ahead to schedule. The published fares are mileage-based and list no senior or disability discount, so any reduced cost depends on a sponsoring programme having funds for your trip; it varies by trip and funding source, and is not guaranteed. Call 252-438-2573 to ask what you would actually pay.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
