💙 We are saddened to hear of Earl Henry's passing.

🚐 It’s no coincidence that the name EARL travels Northeast Iowa's roads every day. For many years, Earl Henry dedicated himself to building and strengthening NEICAC’s public transportation program. Earl’s leadership and belief in connecting people to their communities left a lasting impact on NEICAC Transit. Today, it seems especially fitting that the name EARL travels the roads of Northeast Iowa every day, carrying forward the kind of service he worked so hard to build.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Earl’s family, friends, former coworkers, and all who knew him.

Thank you, Earl, for a legacy that keeps moving! ❤️ 🛣️
