Effective January 2, 2026 at 6:30 PM CRIS Rural Mass Transit will no longer be offering rides in
Vermilion, Ford and Iroquois Counties.
It is with extreme sorrow we announce the dissolution of CRIS Rural Mass Transit. Due to a decision by
IDOT to freeze our funds, CRIS Rural Mass Transit can not continue to operate.
Because of this circumstance, we have listed on our website alternative transportation services to
accommodate our constituents. Please refer to www.ruraltransits.org.
For those who have paid in advance for rides, we will provide reimbursements. We want our
constituents to please be advised that future rides will be cancelled. We are very sorry for this
inconvenience and wish our riders well.
