Provides rides for any purpose, to all people, and no membership is required.

The Regional Transportation program offers public transit services for individuals in the region. The program operates buses and trains to provide convenient transportation options for older adults and other community members. Riders can access these services by paying a flat fee, with different pricing tiers based on factors such as income level and distance traveled. For instance, the program charges $3 per day for in-town travel for older adults or those with low income, while the fee for other riders is $6 per day within town. Out-of-town trips are priced based on the mileage covered. To utilize the Regional Transportation program, individuals are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically at least a few days ahead of their intended travel date. This advance notice helps the program arrange shared rides to optimize efficiency and accommodate as many riders as possible. Payment for the services can be made in cash, and the program also accepts donations and Medicaid payments. One of the program's key features is its curb-to-curb transportation service, ensuring that riders are safely picked up and dropped off at their designated locations. While most services require scheduling at least one day in advance, the Star City Connector service offers more flexibility with no advance notice required. Overall, the Regional Transportation program aims to provide reliable and accessible transit options for older adults and other community members throughout the region.
