How to apply for CART Shared Ride — Call-A-Ride Transportation (Huntingdon County) in Pennsylvania

Who it's for

Huntingdon County has no fixed-route bus system. Rides come from CART, a shared-ride service the Huntingdon-Bedford-Fulton Area Agency on Aging runs across Huntingdon, Bedford and Fulton counties. Riders age 65 and older pay a reduced per-trip fare that depends on how far they travel — rides are not free. Trips to a senior center are free for anyone age 60 and older. Book at least one day ahead by calling 1-800-333-9004 or 814-635-3653, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Applications for the Persons with Disabilities and Medical Assistance Transportation programs are handled in Huntingdon County by the Employment and Training Office at 814-641-6408.

What you'll need

• Proof of Huntingdon County / PA residency
• Proof of age 65+ (PA Senior Citizen Transit ID OR PennDOT ID)
• For paratransit: ADA-eligibility certification
