St. James Parish is one of the few rural areas
in the nation with a regularly scheduled in-parish
transportation system. Any general public person may
ride for $1.00. Any parish resident or non parish
resident who is elderly or has a disability can ride
for 50 cents. Children 5 years of age or younger can
ride for free.
St. James Parish Transit operates routes daily,
Monday through Friday, along state Highways 44 and
18 (East and West bank) with side trips on
connecting streets, including major streets in the
towns of Lutcher and Gramercy. Requested route
deviation is also available.
Dial-A-Ride, funded partially by United Way, offers
in-parish non-emergency medical transportation to
disabled, low-income, and elderly residents of St.
James Parish. This program is operated in
coordination with the parish Transit System.
