Central Illinois Public Transit is now available in seven counties in central Illinois and it continues to develop to accommodate the community as much as possible. Nathan Nichols, Mobility Manager at the Central Illinois Public Transit said the transit has two events coming in mid October. The first takes place October 15th and features free rides for the Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce's Bar Stool Run, and there will be bus stops around town to pick people up throughout the city to take them to the different locations.

Also on October 15th, Nichols said CIPT in Shelby County will be holding a Training Session to teach their drivers what to do when a car or van is burning.

More information can be found by calling CIPT at 1-800-526-0844. Nichols appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show live from our Shelbyville Studios.
