How to apply for Public Transit (Union County Public Transit, Community Connection) — Union
Community Connection of Northeast Oregon – Union County Public Transit
Who it's for
Community Connection of Northeast Oregon runs Union County's public transit. Three deviated fixed-route buses serve La Grande and Island City: the Blue and Yellow routes on weekdays and the Green route on Saturdays. A deviated route keeps to a timetable but can leave its route to pick you up at a nearby spot if you schedule it. To schedule a pickup off the route, call 541-963-2877, Monday to Friday before 4 p.m., one business day before your ride.
Service areas, hours, and fares are set by the transit provider; call ahead to schedule and ask about senior or disability fares.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
