Expanding transportation mobility options to persons with disabilities.





HAYWOOD PUBLIC TRANSIT


Purpose
Our purpose is to provide transportation 
to persons with disabilities (temporary or permanent), visual impairments, and other limitations. With expanded hours and services, New Freedom Program will be available to provide access to independent living. (Travel examples might include: bingo, employment opportunities, visiting shut-ins, grocery shopping, banking, salons or barbers, and going to the library.)
Remaining Independent 
with New Freedom
Transportation is taken for granted by most but can be difficult for seniors or disabled individuals. Due to life’s circumstances, many find themselves dependant on others for their transportation needs. Friends and family are not always available. New Freedom gives independence to its passengers and provides the opportunity
 to safely travel to and from home.  
Who Qualifies for the 
New Freedom Program?
Individuals with qualifying limitations may benefit from New Freedom services.

Scheduling
Travel arrangements should be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible. Last minute requests may not be met due to unavailable resources. Public transportation is a coordinated service which may involve riding with others. 
Payment
When you call to schedule transportation services, any applicable fee will be determined at that time. If a fee is required, you will need to pay the boarding fare to each driver. Exact change is needed as drivers do not carry cash. 
Cancellations
You must call two (2) or more hours prior 
to your appointment time to cancel your reservation. “No shows” may impact your privilege for transit services.
