Charlotte County Transit has an amazing program available for all Charlotte County Residents. Free ride service, curb to curb for anyone over the age of 13!
In reaching out to our community to offer any helpful services we found this wonderful group and are so excited to bring it to you!
The process is easy, call and schedule a pick up/ drop off and return pick up/ drop off. They will take you just about anywhere, restaurants, stores, friends house, what ever is within the service area of Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and Englewood.
This is also a "NON Tip" program, the county pays for this service and it truly is absolutely free. All vehicles are equipped with ramps so they can transport everyone.
They do not however offer group pick ups, so if there are several people wanting to go to the same place each one will call and schedule their own pick up and they will come get each person separately from their home.
We are so excited to know this service is available and caters to each and everyone, please take advantage of this opportunity. See the contact information below.
