Nassau County Transit Study

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) in partnership with Nassau County is conducting a study of public transportation opportunities in Nassau County. The purpose of the project is to analyze the existing conditions and the changing landscape of the County, which has experienced rapid growth over the last couple of years, in order to develop a plan to enhance transit service within the County as well as exploring connections to neighboring transit providers in the region.

The outcome of the study will be a set of short-term and long-term recommendations for transportation investments and strategies. Today, members of the project consultant team and JTA staff are joining us to discuss the subject of transportation needs and hear from you to help shape the outcome of the study.

Current Public Transportation Services

The public transportation system in Nassau County, NassauTRANSIT, is operated by Nassau County Council on Aging (COA) which provides both public bus service and registered paratransit service.

Paratransit – door-to-door, on-demand service for qualified seniors, persons with disabilities, and individuals who are economically disadvantaged or have no other means of transportation. Qualified and registered paratransit riders may reserve up to three days in advance. Other riders are accommodated day-of as schedules allow.
Island Hopper – on-demand service for residents, tourists, and anyone who wants to “Get Around!” Amelia Island safely, comfortably, and affordably.
Nassau Express Select – an executive-style commuter service between Nassau County and downtown Jacksonville facilitated by the JTA and Nassau County COA. Vehicles are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and USB charging ports at each seat.
