VENN
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Fares for Access on Demand rides in Chesterfield will be increasing for the new year.
According to a county release, the increase in fares is a result of rising costs associated with the program, prompting Chesterfield County Mobility Services to raise fares starting Jan. 1, 2026.
Officials said in-county fares will increase from $6 one way to $10, and trips outside of Chesterfield will increase to $15 one way.
Access on Demand is a program that helps qualifying residents get private rides within a service area for medical appointments, grocery shopping or visiting family and friends, officials said.
Chesterfield residents who qualify for the program include:
- Those with a disability
- Those who meet income-based requirements (200% of the federal poverty level)
- Those who are 65 and meet income requirements
- Those who are 65 and have a disability (residents registered who are 60 to 64 will be grandfathered in)
Additionally, the program provides wheelchair-accessible vehicles with lifts or ramps as well as door-to-door service and assistance for passengers. There are also drivers that can assist riders in and out of the vehicles, per officials.
