Jaunt at 50: Share Your Story

For 50 years, Jaunt has been connecting people, places, and possibilities across our region. From daily commutes to doctor visits, from family outings to community events—Jaunt has been part of thousands of journeys that keep our region moving.

As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we want to hear from you. Your stories—whether small moments or big milestones—are the heart of Jaunt’s legacy.

Why Your Story Matters

Every ride tells a story. Together, these stories show how mobility shapes lives, families, and communities. By sharing your experience, you’ll help us honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the next 50 years of service.

What to Share

We welcome memories, reflections, and experiences of all kinds. For example:

  • A favorite ride, driver, or route
  • How Jaunt has made it easier to get to work, school, or healthcare
  • Ways Jaunt has helped you stay connected to family, friends, or community
  • A story about someone you met or something you experienced on the ride
  • Other facts or tidbits you might remember about Jaunt through the years

No story is too small. Each contribution helps paint the full picture of Jaunt’s impact.

How to Share

It’s easy to participate:

  1. Use the submission form below.
  2. Choose your format—write your story, upload a short video, or share artwork inspired by your journey.
  3. Tell us who you are (optional). Stories can be shared publicly with your name, anonymously, or only for Jaunt’s archives.

Consent & Use of Your Story

By submitting your story, you agree to the following:

  • You grant Jaunt permission to use your story, name (if provided), images, and any submitted media in promotional materials, social media, exhibits, newsletters, and other communications related to Jaunt’s 50th Anniversary and ongoing outreach.
  • You confirm that you own or have permission to share any content submitted, including videos, photos, or artwork.
  • You understand that your story may be shared publicly, and you may choose to submit anonymously or for internal archival purposes only.
  • You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting Jaunt at 50years@ridejaunt.org, though previously published materials may remain in circulation.

Celebrate With Us

Throughout the fall and into 2026, we’ll highlight community stories online, at events, and as part of Jaunt’s 50th Anniversary campaign. Selected stories may appear in our “50 Year in Stories” series, community exhibits, or on Jaunt buses.

Ready to Begin?
