CHIPPEWA FALLS SHARED RIDE TO CONNECT TO EAU CLAIRE TRANSIT ROUTES

Beginning June 3rd, Chippewa Falls Shared Ride Transit will offer a connection to two Eau Claire Transit Bus Routes. In the wake of the HSHS and Prevea closures, Chippewa Falls residents have lost the ability to utilize Chippewa Falls Shared Ride to get to some of their medical appointments. While remaining providers are doing what they can to fill service gaps, we understand that all gaps are not being met in Chippewa Falls, and therefore have partnered with Eau Claire Transit to offer connections to limited designated stops on Eau Claire Transit routes 3 and 4. The Chippewa Falls Transit Board and City Council have approved this extension.

Chippewa Falls Shared Ride will offer this connection on a trial basis from 7 am to 6 pm weekdays. Base fares for both transit services will be required. There will also be a $10 surcharge for trips out of the City of Chippewa Falls city limits to the designated stops No other points outside of Chippewa Falls will be served by the Shared Ride Taxi. Both transit services offer applications for reduced fares for eligible riders.

This new service will be offered on a trial basis. Evaluations will be occurring on a quarterly basis. Additional information about the Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire Transit systems may be found at the links below:
