Last week, we enjoyed hearing from Heather McMillen with the West Central Mass Transit District, who shared how the district has grown from its start in 1997 to the many services it offers our communities today.

🚌🚍 With over 8,000 riders already this year, West Central Mass Transit plays a big role in helping people across multiple Central Illinois counties get where they need to go.

Thanks, Heather, for a great presentation and for all you do for our communities!
