Greene County Transit Riders are also encouraged to participate in the March 2026 Transit Study that is being conducted by the Greene County Transportation Advisory Board.
The feedback provided by the riders will contribute to our Greene County Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan, better optimize the Greene County Transit System, encourage other providers for transportation gaps, and ensure it is operating within the needs of the community it serves.
Each route is $3, one-way, that includes a free daily shuttle pass. The shuttle is $2 for the entire day. Children, 5 and under, are free. Seniors (60 and over) are eligible for their fare to be fully subsidized by contacting the Greene County Department of Human Services at 518-719-3555.
