Farmville

Get in

By car

Farmville is most easily accessed by car. Two major US highways, US-460 and US-15, have a concurrency around Farmville, with their business routes meeting downtown. US-460 allows access west towards Lynchburg and Roanoke, and east to Petersburg and Virginia Beach. Just east of Farmville is Route 307, connecting US-460 to US-360 for travelers bound to and from Richmond. Branching off from US-15 in neighboring Dillwyn is Route 20, which provides access to and from Charlottesville. US-15 allows access from a number of neighboring towns, as well as Buggs Island Lake and the Raleigh-Durham and Northern Virginia metro areas.

By bus

The Farmville Area Bus system offers limited service to and from Prospect and Pamplin on its Green Line, and Green Bay and Meherrin on its Orange Line. Fare is $1.

The Greyhound bus line, for which some signage still exists, is defunct.

Via High Bridge Trail

The High Bridge Trail runs from just west of Burkeville through Farmville, and on to Pamplin. High Bridge Trail State Park is open to pedestrians as well as people on bike and horseback from dawn to dusk. Access is free, though a parking fee is charged.

Get around

By car

The easiest way to get around Farmville is by car. Street parking downtown is metered, though municipal lots are located on the corners of North Main and West Second Streets, at South and East Second Street, and at the Farmer's Market.

By bus

Farmville is served by the Farmville Area Bus system, which operates three in-town bus lines and two rural lines. The Blue Line is most useful for getting around town, and runs year-round Monday through Saturday. The Express Line and Campus Direct lines are catered towards Longwood University students, though the Express Line can still be useful for traveling between downtown and the shopping centers located to the south. Fare is 25 cents for the general public, and free for children 6 or younger, seniors 60 or older, and Longwood University students with ID.
