Greene County Transportation was established by the Board of County Commissioners on July 1, 1999 to provide transportation for the human service agencies of Greene County and to the general public. The creation of this department was made possible through an agreement between the County of Greene and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division.
Through this agreement, Federal and State funds are provided annually to the County to offset local administrative and capital operating costs. The County Transportation Department provides a "dial-a-ride" type service to all residents of Greene County when there is space and funding available.
The Greene County Transportation System offers service to medical appointments in Greenville, Farmville and Kinston Monday through Thursday for MEDICAID recipients only. Out of County medical appointments should be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Effective 01 July 2011 out of county service for the general public ended. The only out of County service available is for Human Service Agency sponsored passengers such as the TANF Work First and Medicaid passengers. The transportation service for these passengers is authorized and funded by the Department of Social Services.
Public transportation is available throughout Greene County as funding is available for medical appointments, LCC Snow Hill and job sites, however, as of 01 January 2012, NO NEW RIDERS are being accepted.
The Transportation Department's office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday.
Closed on all Greene County holidays
Passengers must call for reservations a minimum of 48 hours prior to requested pick up time (two workdays). All passengers are encouraged to schedule their appointments to ride as soon as they receive a medical appointment or have a need for transportation.
