About Us

Community Transit, a division of Council on Aging of St. Lucie, Inc. (COASL), is the public transit provider for St. Lucie County through a contract with the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County.

Community Transit has been servicing St. Lucie County since 1990 as a demand response system.

A demand response is a curb to curb system where passenger trips are generated by calls from passengers or their agents at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance, to the Transit Reservationists, who then schedules a vehicle to pick up the passenger.

We provide transportation at a nominal cost to all locations for all reasons within St. Lucie County.

St. Lucie County and Martin County began discussions to connect St. Lucie and Martin Counties via a fixed route along US 1. A transit grant was approved by FDOT providing 100% funding. On June 3rd, 2002, the first regional fixed route in both St. Lucie and Martin Counties called the Treasure Coast Connector was implemented.

A fixed route service provides service along specific routes with scheduled arrival times at predetermined bus stop areas. This is the type of system most people refer to when they mention a city bus.

East/West connections were needed to connect passengers to the US 1. On February 7th, 2005, two additional fixed routes were implemented in the northern part of the county with connections to US 1.
