The YavaLine Regional Transit System (“YAV” for short) has added a new service area to include a portion of the City of Prescott, providing a new public transportation option for local residents. The new service is administered by the Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization (CYMPO), and trips may be scheduled by phone call or by the YAV Connect mobile application available in the App Store and Google Play. Rides cost $2 or less each way, anywhere within the zone (no bus stops). The YAV’s service schedule is Monday – Friday, 6 am – 8 pm.
The new Prescott service area includes downtown Prescott, Dignity Health YRMC hospital and medical offices, places of higher education, the Northern Arizona VA, and several shopping centers. Boundaries are roughly Iron Springs Road to the west, SR 69/SR89 interchange to the east, Gail Gardner Way to the north, and Copper Basin Road to the south. All vehicles utilized are small vans equipped with ramps for wheelchair access and all trip purposes are allowed.
