Rolling Into the “Year of Transit”

Eau Claire public transit is declaring 2025 “The Year of Transit.” 

Community Services manager Ty Fadness said in 2024, 50-thousand more people used public transit than in 2023.   Last year there were about 710-thousand passengers compared to the 660-thousand passengers in the previous year. That’s thanks to new bus routes and increased bus service at peak times.  Now, Fadness said there are more plans, including a new on-demand ride share service called “Micro Transit Pilot.”  It will give people on the northside of Eau Claire more direct rides compared to a bus route. It’s scheduled to launch on July 1st.  The division is also celebrating 50 years of operation this year.
