ForsythRides is Forsyth County’s employment transportation program. Rides must originate in Forysth County and have a maximum distance of 35 miles.
Participants can receive transportation services for up to three months at a time, during which, if they would like, participants will be connected to community resources to address self-identified obstacles to their own reliable transportation.
Space is limited and applicants may be placed on a waitlist.
About ForsythRides
ForsythRides is funded with a grant from North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Rural Operating Assistance Program (ROAP). After a four-month pilot period in the Spring of 2024, the program has been modified to provide reliable services to those with the highest need and address barriers to transportation.
Application Process
At this time, ForsythRides has closed the application due to North Carolina Department of Transportation Funding being fully allocated to our list of riders.
We look forward to opening applications again once we receive additional funding from the State.
If you have already started an application you remain on the list for transit.
If you have questions about the status of your application, please call 336-703-2676.
Forsyth County Community & Economic Development (CED) Department is working with a community just east of Rural Hall, along Highway 65, to secure grant funding for the extension of public water to that area. If awarded, the Community Development Block Grant funding would provide up to $2 million for the project which would include the installation of the water main along Highway 65 and the cost of connection for low-to-moderate income homeowners.
Forsyth County CED staff is working with the community throughout August and September to develop the application including the completion of required community surveys and getting residential wells tested.
