Northeast Iowa Community Action - Transit

Transit
The Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation (NEICAC) - Transit Program is designated by the Iowa Department of Transportation as the Regional Public Transit Provider for the counties of Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard, and Winneshiek in the Northeast corner of Iowa. We are proud to offer safe, reliable, reasonably price public transportation to all citizens residing in our area.

NEICAC - Transit offers demand response transportation from anywhere within our 5 county area to local destinations and beyond. People regularly use our services to get to work, to go to medical appointments, to attend school and meal sites, for shopping purposes or just to visit friends & family. Last year our transit system provided or contracted to provide over 180,000 one-way rides. We look forward to serving your transportation needs in an efficient and professional way!

Most of our current fleet of 53 vehicles are equipped with ramps or lifts to provide accessible transportation for individuals confined to wheelchairs or affected with other disabilities which restrict mobility. As a general rule, NEICAC - Transit is a curb-to-curb public transit service, which means the driver will pick up and drop off at curbside. Riders needing additional assistance may request door-to-door service, which means the driver will be available to assist the rider to and from the main entry door and the transit vehicle. Drivers are not allowed to assist individuals inside their homes, clinics, public facilities, businesses, etc. Anyone needing that type of assistance may bring along one escort at no additional charge.

Of special note:

Our transit system has received the "Rural Transit System of the Year" award from the Iowa Department of Transportation in 1997 and 1999. We were the State of Iowa’s nomination in the year of 2000 for National Transit System of the Year. In 2009 we received Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Award of Achievement for the largest decrease in cost per ride and the second largest increase in ridership among the other regional transit systems in Iowa for 2008.

NEICAC-Transit currently receives JARC (Job Access Reverse Commute) funding to help partially fund services in the Clayton County area. The JARC services, along with all of our services, are open to the general public.
