Most rural counties

Call ahead — a ride is there.

Most rural TN counties operate demand-response transit — you call to schedule a pickup rather than catching a bus at a fixed stop. Call 24–72 hours ahead for medical, work, grocery, and other essential trips.

Set your location above to see your county’s transit number. Fares are typically very low — often free for seniors 60+ and people with disabilities.
