The Vine UpValley Link program is a taxpayer-funded transportation service designed to help seniors and residents with disabilities reach essential destinations outside the existing Vine Transit and VineGo Paratransit service areas. While the program is not intended to serve as a participant’s primary source of transportation, it helps fill critical mobility gaps for eligible residents in Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. Participants receive a reloadable PEX card that can only be used for Uber or Lyft rides. Trips may travel anywhere — including outside Napa County — as long as the cost does not exceed the available card balance. The Napa Valley Transportation Authority subsidizes the program by matching participant contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $50 per month. This means users can have up to $100 added to their PEX card each month. Any unused balance rolls over and does not expire.
The Vine UpValley Link launches July 1, 2026.

The program was developed following NVTA’s 2025 Accessible Transportation Needs Assessment, which identified transportation barriers for seniors and people with disabilities and called for expanded mobility options beyond traditional fixed-route transit service.
Residents of the City of Napa can receive similar services through NVTA’s Taxi Scrip program.
