Did you know that we have a door-to-door shuttle for UC residents that is cheap, efficient, safe, and growing! Meet Union County Transit. You may have noticed the friendly-looking vans and shuttles around town, but you’d be surprised how many people those vans have helped over the years. Think you wouldn’t qualify for a ride, or couldn’t afford one? You’d probaby be surprised about those answers too!
Some points to note about UC Transit: Service runs from the curb at your pick-up point to the curb at your destination. The driver may assist you to and from the curb when boarding or leaving the bus, but is not permitted to enter a residence or building. An escort or personal care attendant may accompany you at no charge. The driver is trained in passenger assistance and will secure all wheelchairs and help secure packages and assist with seat belts if needed. With fares ranging from $1.00 to 6.00 per ride, and specialty pricing available for trips, the prices cannot be beat in terms of transportation. To find out the exact cost of a trip between two points in the service area, or to arrange a pickup, call the UC Transit office at (765) 458-7277.
