How to apply for River Valley Regional Transit — Webster County in Georgia
River Valley Regional Commission — Georgia DHS Rural Transit Program
Who it's for
The River Valley Regional Commission holds Georgia's DHS rural-transit contract for Webster County (Preston) and arranges demand-response, curb-to-curb rides through local transport providers. There are no fixed routes — trips are scheduled in advance for medical appointments, senior centers, shopping, and essential errands. Pataula Transit, run by the Lower Chattahoochee Regional Transportation Authority, gives curb-to-curb public rides here for riders of any age. Call 833-707-7433 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the day before a trip to book. Fares are $3 for 1 to 10 miles and $5 for longer trips in the region, and riders 60 and older pay 50% less.
River Valley regional transit is demand-response (no fixed routes), reserved in advance; trip availability depends on capacity and funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
