Westport is in danger of losing the Wheels2U shuttle yet again.

In what has become an annual rite of Spring, the Board of Finance voted at its March meeting to eliminate all funding for Wheels2U, the Westport Transit District’s door-to-train station on-demand commuter shuttle. This will effectively shut down the service as of June 30, 2023.

We need your help to keep the shuttle alive!
