How We Began
Mountain Mobility (formerly known as BOOST-Buncombe Specialized
Transportation) was established by Buncombe County in 1989
to provide transportation services for residents of Buncombe
County. Originally intended to serve the transportation needs
of a few core human service agencies, the system has grown
to serve a wide variety of organizations as well as provide
limited general public transportation services for medical
and employment purposes.
In June of 2005, Buncombe County assumed full responsibility of the operations of Mountain Mobility. All staff including drivers and dispatchers are now Buncombe County employees. Today, Mountain Mobility operates 34 vans and 2 small buses with 47 drivers and provides about 500 passenger trips throughout Buncombe County on a typical weekday.
