NassauTRANSIT is operated by the Nassau County Council on Aging (NCCOA). NassauTRANSIT’s modern, comfortable, and safe buses will shuttle festival-goers between the “park-and-ride” lot at Fernandina Beach High School and the festival’s pick-up and drop-off loca- tions.

In addition, all transportation on the Island Hopper during the three-day festival is free. “Our continued partnership with the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival is a great opportunity,” said Michael Hays, Transportation director at NCCOA. “We enjoy providing safe and convenient public transportation for the ‘locals’ and visitors at this fantastic event.” NassauTRANSIT is Nassau County’s public transportation system and an integral component of regional transportation in Northeast Florida. Registered paratransit service for qualified passengers is provided countywide and into Jacksonville. Also, a convenient bus system of 23 vehicles connects Hilliard, Callahan, Yulee, Fernandina Beach and Jack- sonville with scheduled routes between bus stops. The Island Hopper provides “hop on, hop off” local transportation on Amelia Island. Nassau- TRANSIT is open to the public. Fares are $1 for scheduled bus routes and $2 for registered paratransit service. All NassauTRANSIT bus operators and buses are Florida Department of Transportation-credentialed. Complementing the NassauTRANSIT fleet is Nassau Express Select, an executive-style commuter service between Nassau County and down- town Jacksonville operated in partnership with the Jacksonville Transit Authority (JTA). Buses are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and USB charging ports. The bus leaves twice in the early morning Monday through Friday from Yulee and returns with three trips in the late-afternoon and early evening. Fares for Nassau Express Select are $3 one-way, $5 for a one-day pass, and $90 for a 31-day pass. Based on income eligibili- ty, residents of Nassau County may qualify for a reduced fare.
