YavaLine Regional Transit System
The YavaLine Regional Transit System (“YAV” for short) is the Central Yavapai’s first-ever transit service started by the Town of Prescott Valley Public Works Department. The YAV plans, develops, and operates the regional transit system for commuters, seniors, and people with disabilities. Currently, per the Phased Transit Plan, the YAV provides microtransit services to people within the transit zone of Prescott Valley. The Town is providing its public transit service via the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) transit grant for its 3-year initial service demonstration. We connect the community and enhance its quality of life.
The YAV Connect is the name of our microtransit service operating within the core of Prescott Valley. Think of it like a minibus that comes when you want, where you want. Input your pickup and drop-off addresses in our mobile app, and we’ll provide a few ride options within the Prescott Valley Transit Zone. Choose the option that works best for you, and we’ll send a driver your way. If you would like to contact us to request a trip instead, call 1-866-YAV-TRAN (1-866-928-8726). Generally, microtransit offers shorter wait times in the service area than the traditional fixed route bus service.
