About Us

Our Mission

is to provide safe, affordable transportation to residents of the Rockbridge area

who are elderly, have disabilities, or have no other means of transportation

Rockbridge Area Transportation System provides non-emergency, door-to-door transportation for wheelchair and ambulatory riders.  We provide transport services to enable all residents access to health care (local and regional), day support services, and employment, as well as to community events, shopping, socialization, and running other necessary errands to enhance and maintain their quality of life.


RATS can pick up individuals anywhere in Rockbridge and Alleghany counties and the cities of Lexington, Buena Vista, Clifton Forge, and Covington.  Destinations are most often in the local area, though we do travel to regional medical centers in Alleghany County, Augusta County, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Richmond, Roanoke, and Salem.  We offer discounts for seniors and veterans, and additionally use a sliding fare schedule, insuring transportation is affordable for those who most need it.
