This transportation is available to all persons of all ages. For the convenience of persons living in the southern and southwestern parts of the parish, a TOLL FREE NUMBER, 1-800-200-6161 is provided.
Transportation is the most important service that is provided by the Bienville Council on Aging. We started with four vehicles eleven years ago. Today we have a fleet of sixteen and are expanding to all areas of the parish. The vehicles are strategically located so that each one can more adequately accommodate the transportation needs of the persons within these areas.
With hard work and an aggressive growth plan, we are determined to meet the needs of our citizens. We are proud of our transportation system! "There may be other rural parish public transportation systems as good as the Bienville Parish Public Transit; but, there is none any better." | Characteristice of System | | Vehicles: | 12 (11are lift-equipped) | | Clients Served: | All | | Service Provided: | Demand/Response | | Operating Hours: | 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., M-F | | Base Fare: | In-Parish
