How to apply for Yancey County Transportation Authority — Demand-Response Public Transit (Yancey County)
Yancey County Transportation Authority — the county's NCDOT-funded community transportation system providing demand-response rides for the general public, older adults, and riders with disabilities.
Who it's for
Yancey County Transportation Authority offers affordable, scheduled transportation for Yancey County residents — shared van rides along fixed routes and curb-to-curb, door-to-door service. It is geared toward older adults and provides accessible rides for people with disabilities. Schedule a trip in advance by calling 828-682-6144.
Yancey County: the Transportation Authority 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. Door-to-door and accessible service available.
What you'll need
- Proof of Yancey County residency
- For ADA service: documentation of disability
