Connexion

Connexion is JTA's paratransit service, providing destination-to-destination shared public transportation for people with disabilities who are functionally unable to use fixed-route services for some or all of their transportation needs, and for people who are transportation disadvantaged (TD). Connexion customers must be certified as eligible under either the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or TD program.

Connexion also offers travel training to ADA paratransit-eligible individuals who do have the ability to use fixed-route services. To learn more about JTA's Travel Training Program, please email [email protected] or call (904) 632-5249.

The hours of service for Connexion are the same as those of our fixed-route bus service.
