Special Programs for Aging Needs (abbreviated as "SPAN", also known as "SPAN Transit", and "SPAN, INC.") is a nonprofit [3] public transit service and delivery service in Denton County, Texas.

Routes

SPAN has a route from Denton County to Dallas, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas available for Veterans to Veterans Affairs Hospitals. This route was expanded to mid-day service from a $20,000.00 USD grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans’ Assistance.[4]

Availability

SPAN Transit offers services to any resident living in Denton County but outside of DCTA's service area. It is an on-demand shared ride service which requires an application and frequent usage. It currently only offers weekday service from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Shared Rides outside of this schedule depends on available Commuter Vanpools.

Service Area

In addition to Veterans Affairs routes outside of Denton County, SPAN generally has widespread coverage of Denton, County. It should be noted however that part of Roanoke is in Tarrant County which SPAN will not reach. Flower Mound coverage is unavailable to the general public.[5]

Fares

SPAN does not offer monthly passes.[6]
