Delta HRA offers service to residents regardless of income and age, workers who need transportation to area jobs and employment, and disabled persons that need transportation to area hospitals or scheduled appointments. However, these trips must be scheduled in advance and have to be prompt prior to arrival. The services are available Monday through Friday from 6 a.m to 6 p.m. There is no weekend or holiday services. The agency's fleet is made up of regular vans and cutaway van/buses.

Typical fares are $5.00 for in-county round trips, with an additional $3.50 for cross-county trips, and $.75 for additional stops. A $14.00 flat fee is set for passengers travelling to Memphis or Jackson but provide no transfers of any type to either Memphis Area Transit Authority or Jackson Transit Authority buses. Seniors 60 and older ride free with some exceptions.
