What Eau Claire Transit’s Northern Lite service is about:
SHARED.
A corner-to-corner algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one.
ACCESS.
For residents who are in areas with less bus coverage, get where you need to go in just one trip, or connect to the bus and go even further. Plus, you don’t have to worry about parking!
SUSTAINABLE.
Public transportation reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner every time you ride.
