Mountain Lynx Transit (District Three Governmental Cooperative)

Who it's for

Mountain Lynx Transit (District Three Governmental Cooperative) serves Bland County with Public transit operated by the AAA's parent cooperative; demand-response service to Bland County areas at least weekly (fixed-route loops run in Abingdon, Marion, Wytheville, and Galax). Rides are currently fare-free, so no senior fare tier exists. Older adults and people with disabilities can use reduced fares or demand-response rides for medical appointments, shopping, and other essential trips. Rides are free or low-cost depending on the service. Call 1-276-782-9300 for schedules, eligibility, or to book a ride.

Service areas, reduced-fare eligibility, and ride availability are set by the transit provider, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
