etc., on a scheduled basis. Primary destinations include: Viroqua, La Crosse, Richland

The Crawford
County Mini-Bus that goes from Crawford County
thru De Soto, Genoa
and Stoddard to La Crosse transports Vernon County
Residents to La Crosse
three times a month. Juneau County Mini-Bus offers transportation from Hillsboro to Mauston once
a month. Please call the Vernon
County Unit on Aging
Office at 637-5201 by 3:00 p.m. the day before to make your reservation. If you
must cancel any reservation after regular office hours, CALL THE OFFICE AT
637-5201 BEFORE 7:00 a.m. and leave a message. See the Mini-bus schedule for
the dates of these two runs.
Suggested donation for Mini-bus rides in Hillsboro are: $.50 per 1-way trip to the Mealsite, $1.50
per 1-way trip to other destinations in Hillsboro,
$2.00 per 1-way trip for anyone who lives outside of Hillsboro. Reservations: Please call
and reserve your spot by 3:00 PM on the weekday BEFORE your trip to Viroqua, La Crosse, or Richland
Center.
Reservations for Madison
need to be made by 3:00 PM three days BEFORE your trip. If you need to
cancel your reservation after our regular business hours, just call (608)
637-5201 and leave us a message.
Fees: Fees to ride the Mini-Bus are given on
a confidential donation basis. It is suggested that $6.00 be given for
trips to Viroqua, La Crosse, and Richland Center, and $10.00 for all other regular
trips. The Unit on Aging Office determines rates for Special Trips and
Charter Trips.
Schedule: See the next page for a sample
schedule. The Mini-Bus operates Monday – Friday from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM.
Cancellation Policy: To ensure the safety of everyone traveling
with us, we do not operate the Mini-Bus during inclement weather. Our
general “rule of thumb” is that if school is canceled due to
the weather, the Mini-Bus Run is also cancelled. Please listen to your
local radio stations for school closings and cancellations. Otherwise,
you can call the Unit on Aging Office at (608) 637-5201 to find out if the
Mini-Bus is running.
Charter Trips: The Vernon County
Mini-Bus can be rented for private groups. For more information and
prices, call the Unit on Aging Office at (608) 637-5201.
