Starting Tuesday, July 1, there will be a new public transportation system in DeWitt County.

Tim Gadbury, Director of Piatt County Public Transportation, or Piattran, says they've operated in Piatt County for over 40 years, meeting the transportation needs of the community.

Starting Tuesday, July 1, Piattran will become the public transportation service offered in DeWitt County. Gadbury explains that you can contact them on the phone to make those appointments. He notes they are also partnering with Encore to provide morning and evening transportation for those individuals.

The opportunity for Piattran to expand to DeWitt County was a no-brainer, and Gadbury points out they recently acquired additional vehicles for their fleet, making the transition to DeWitt County that much easier.
