Sou'West Nova Transit

Sou'West Nova Transit A registered charity that exists to provide supportive, door-to-door, wheelchair accessible transportation options to Shelburne County residents.

Sou’West Nova Transit Association (SWNT) is a registered charity that provides door-to-door, accessible, supportive transportation options to Shelburne County residents who would most benefit from our services. Specifically this includes seniors and those facing economic, medical, or mobility challenges, but we welcome anyone who needs a lift! Our focus for trips out of the Tri-County (Shelburne,

Yarmouth and Queens) area is medical appointments, except in cases where wheelchair accessibility is needed. For other Shelburne County residents and visitors wishing to travel long distance for non-medical purposes (including to and from the airport), we can help connect you with taxis, shuttles and bus services which may be able to assist!

Great events!!
