NCAT Strategic Plan
NCAT is developing its first-ever strategic plan. This will help guide operations for NCAT over the next decade. We are excited to gather, analyze, and share the information with you!
We started with a study of transit services in LaSalle County and input from community members. We will be holding several public meetings or outreach events over the next few months and hope to see you.
