How to apply for Senior & Disabled Transit (JAUNT) — Nelson in Virginia
JAUNT
Who it's for
Jaunt provides curb-to-curb demand-response rides in Nelson County, plus the CONNECT commuter route from Lovingston to UVA and downtown Charlottesville (no reservation needed for CONNECT). Book demand-response rides at least one day and up to seven days ahead by calling (434) 296-3184, option 1. First-time riders set up a rider account on that call. Jaunt does not post its fares online, so ask about cost when you book.
Service areas and ride availability are set by the transit provider, 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.
