Four County Transit in conjuncture with Southwest Virginia Community College (SwVCC), Mountain Empire Community College (MECC), and University of Virginia College at Wise (UVA-WISE) offers transportation to and from college Monday through Friday to registered students.  This service has been available since 2000 and operates in all three of the college semester terms (Fall, Spring and Summer).

Eligibility Requirements

This transportation is public routes and open to anyone who wants to ride.  Also, the service is not a door-to-door provided service.  There are pick up points located throughout all four counties -- be at the point closest to you and Four County will get you to school!  The service is available for day classes only.  The bus arrives at the college daily by 8:00 AM and departs from the college daily at 3:30 PM.  

Is there a cost involved?

The cost for public riders is our normal rate.  College transportation is a service provided by Four County Transit and the three colleges at NO CHARGE to the students and college staff.  Any registered student or staff person can ride free of charge due to local match from Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Tazewell counties through their Board of Supervisors.  Students can ride in the morning as well as the afternoon, or you can just ride one way - which ever fits into your schedule most easily.
