Funding Partners

Our Funding Partners Make Our Public Service Possible.

Our funding partners are pivotal in making BRITE an effective source of bus transportation in Virginia. Together we work to connect our community to the services necessary for our population to succeed and thrive. ADA Compliant Paratransit transportation services and fixed routes ensure you can depend on BRITE to get you where you need to be when you need to be there. From transportation to work, medical appointments and to school, BRITE brings opportunity to our region and growth to our community.

Why BRITE Is So Important To Us:

“Blue Ridge Community College provides funding to the BRITE Transportation system because it helps ensure students have access to the educational programs that we provide. Reliable, affordable, transportation to campus is necessary for students to improve their lives by gaining job skills and degrees, and helps us fulfill our mission of “meeting the educational needs of the community.””

“The mission of Shenandoah Valley Social Services is “The promotion of self-reliance and protection of citizens through community based services.” By partnering with BRITE, we are validating our mission. BRITE offers a safe, reliable transportation option for those without access to a personal means of transportation. BRITE’s service allows families and individuals to gain and maintain access to employment, education and training, medical and mental health services, retailers for food and clothing, and recreation activities, thus promoting and supporting a self-sufficient and economic independent lifestyle.”
