Community Transportation

At WNCSource, we understand that having access to safe, reliable transportation can make a huge difference in your life. Each weekday, our skilled team of schedulers, dispatchers, and drivers work together to ensure that Henderson County residents can enjoy safe, comfortable, and timely transportation.

October is "Give Your Neighbor a Lift" Month!

Keep our vans rolling and our community connected! Our Community Transportation Program provides rides free of cost thanks to grant funding and individual donations from folks like you.

WNCSource has provided thousands of rides this year alone to every corner of Henderson County. These rides are more than just running errands. They’re the way neighbors stay connected in the community when they don’t have any other transportation options.

Donate today to ensure we can keep rides affordable and get our neighbors where they need to go.

Transportation Services for Independence and Accessibility

Are you tired of depending on others for transportation? Reclaim your independence with WNCSource! We provide safe, reliable rides to keep you connected to the places that matter – medical appointments, grocery runs, senior programs, work, or school.

Our weekday services are available for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and rural residents without access to dependable transportation. Check out our options below to find the service that best fits your needs and helps you take control of your journey. 

  • Elderly and Disabled Transportation
  • Same-Day/Next-Day Medical Rides
  • Senior Lunch & Light Shopping
  • Shopping & Grocery Routes
  • Rural General Public Transportation

Due to high demand, schedules fill up quickly. We recommend booking local rides 2-3 weeks in advance and 3-4 weeks ahead for out-of-county trips.

Your Input Needed!

The N.C. Department of Transportation is updating its statewide plan for walking, biking and other forms of active transportation and wants North Carolina residents to help shape it. 

NCDOT’s Integrated Mobility Division is seeking stories and photos about residents’ walking, biking and rolling experiences across the state through Dec. 5, 2026. Residents can also sign up for project updates.

Selected submissions may be featured in the final plan.  Stories will help DOT staff and stakeholders provide real-world examples of how active transportation is used on a daily basis by residents and will help guide the direction of the plan.

The updated Statewide Active Transportation Plan will replace WalkBikeNC, adopted in 2013, and guide future partnerships, policies, programs and projects to create safer, more connected transportation options.  

The plan could help shape improvements such as: 

  • Safer sidewalks, crossings, bike routes and shared-used paths 
  • Better connections to schools, parks, jobs and public transportation 
  • More transportation choices for people who cannot or choose not to drive 
  • More options for people of all ages and abilities 
  • Greater opportunities for physical activity and access to nature
