POWHATAN COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- GRTC LINK microtransit services are now available to all commuters in Powhatan County.

While the service has been available in parts of the county since May 2024, the whole county is now included as part of the zone of service.

A social post on Wednesday, July 2, outlines all the different areas that will now be served after the expansion of the GRTC LINK zone.
