From: City Of Azle

The City of Azle contracts with Fort Worth Transportation Authority (Trinity Metro) to provide transit service throughout Tarrant County to Azle residents who are age 65 or older and/or disabled under a program called Tarrant County Transportation Services (TCTS). TCTS provides door-to-door transportation service within Tarrant County for any purpose including medical, visiting a friend, shopping, going to a movie, etc. 

As of October 1, 2022, Azle residents will once again only have one "guaranteed" ride day - Monday. The separate federal grant for the additional “guaranteed” day of service that our residents have enjoyed since October 2018 will expire September 30, 2022. So, Monday will again be the only “guaranteed” day of service; rides on other days are provided on a case-by-case basis as space allows.

Azle residents can schedule rides to take place Monday through Friday, but "guaranteed" rides are are only available on Mondays. On the other days, rides for Azle residents are subject to availability. Riders are always encouraged to schedule important trips such as medical appointments on "guaranteed" days.  Rides are provided by Catholic Charities.
