ARRIVE Wilson County Transportation is "a fully coordinated public transportation system ... a branch of the Wilson County Government" that contracts its daily operations; it also serves DSS, the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs, Services for the Blind and the rural general public ($2.00 minimum each way for general-public rides). Director Lesley Barnes, 2201 Miller Rd. South, Wilson, NC 27893; 252-399-2817. The veterans route itself publishes no fare: the fare table names the rural general public only, so ask when booking. Rides are reserved 24 hours before the appointment, by 2:00 p.m. Friday for a Saturday or Monday trip. The Board's November 3, 2025 public hearing on the NCDOT Section 5311 administrative, combined capital and cost-of-contracting grant - presented by Barnes and approved by the Board - is the funding record behind the county system.
