How to Apply for St. Lucie County Transportation Disadvantaged Service
Ask ART to screen the current program when disability, age, income, or another barrier leaves a resident without transportation.
Start here
Call ART at 772-462-1778, option 3, and ask for Transportation Disadvantaged eligibility and the current application. ART fixed-route and microtransit services are fare-free, so ask whether either can meet the trip need too.
Option 3; Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
