What does JAUNT stand for?
JAUNT is no longer an acronym, however, when JAUNT
was founded, it was a nonprofit corporation, and
its name stood for Jefferson Area
UNited Transportation (JAUNT). In
1982 it became a public corporation owned by the
local governments and JAUNT, Inc. was formed.
So JAUNT is now the legal name, not just an acronym.

Will
my ride still come when it snows?
Check your local radio or television station for
school closing information. If you live in or around
Charlottesville, and the City schools are closed,
all trips will be canceled. If you still want to
ride, you will need to check three things:
1. Contact your destination to confirm that it is
open and their street is clear.
2. Check to see if your street is safe to travel
on and your path to the van is clear of snow and
ice.
3. Call the JAUNT office at 296-3184 to reschedule
your trip.
Outside the city of Charlottesville, JAUNT will
not be running the first day that the schools are
closed. After that, give us a call and we will try
to provide transportation if we can do it safely. |
