Access Scioto County Public Transit

Using the Countywide Regular Service

ASC is a Demand Response Public Transit Service. All trips for our Countywide "Regular" service must be scheduled in advance. Also before you ride you need to register for our service. To register and to schedule trips call ASC at (740) 353-5626, ext. 203 between 8:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m. Monday - Friday.

Hearing-Impaired persons can call our TTY line at (740) 353-1954 to schedule your trip.

The schedule in advance Countywide "Regular" service operates Monday - Friday 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Same day add-on trips can be scheduled only if there are openings on that day's schedule.

If you have the same schedule every week you will want to schedule a "Repeater Ticket". With a "Repeater Ticket" your trip will be automatically scheduled. You will only need to call ASC to cancel your trip or change your schedule.

If you have special needs such as a wheelchair, attendant, service-animal, etc. please inform ASC when scheduling your trip.

Will Calls for Countywide Regular Service

We realize that in some cases, such as medical appointments, it may not be possible to schedule a time for your return trip. Under these circumstances you can schedule a "Will Call". With a "Will Call" scheduled as your return trip you call ASC when you are ready to go.

Unfortunately, because "Will Calls" don't have a scheduled time and trips with scheduled times receive priority, you may have to wait a long time before a bus is available to come pick you up.

Also as a "Will Call" you may have to wait until a bus is scheduled to return to your part of the county.

For best service and to avoid long wait times you should only schedule a "Will Call" as a last resort.

Using the Same Day Instant Access Service

To get a ride using the same day "Instant Access" service simply call the ASC "Instant Access" line at 355-ABUS (2287) anytime Monday – Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. when you are ready to go and tell us who and where you are and where you want to go. The ASC "Instant Access" Bus will be sent to your location to pick you up as soon as it is available. This service is only available for Portsmouth, New Boston and Rosemount. The "Instant Access" service is intended to be used if you have an emergency or a last minute change of plans and need a same day trip. We encourage you to use our "Regular" Countywide schedule in advance service for the best results.
