 Program Description:

The Chippewa Falls Shared Ride Taxi Program is a demand response, door-to-door public transportation service.  “Shared-Ride” means that you may travel with more than one passenger with different destinations and/or origins.  The program operates within the Chippewa Falls city limits. 

 The program is administered by the Chippewa Falls Transit Board and City Council.  The City is responsible for determining the fares, days, hours of the service, and ultimately all facets of the program’s operation.

 The City contracts with a private transit company to provide the service.  The service company is selected through a competitive bidding process, and the City must solicit bids every five years.

 Funding for the service comes from four sources.  These include the Federal Transit Administration, the State of Wisconsin, the City of Chippewa Falls, and you – the rider through your fares.
