The City of Black River Falls has been verbally notified that Mobility Transformation, Inc (MTI),
which operates the Black River Falls Public Transit share-ride taxi service, will be ceasing all
operations and the company will be completely dissolved in the near future.
City officials will begin discussing options for moving forward at a Special Common Council
meeting tomorrow night, November 16, 2022. The meeting begins at 6:00pm at City Hall located
at 101 S. Second Street.
The service is heavily subsidized with state and federal grant funds which requires the city to
strictly follow federal procurement processes to select another vendor to carry out the remainder
of the contract. This process typically takes 2-3 months to complete.
Therefore, the city’s shared-ride taxi service is expected to be temporarily shut down and
not available beginning on or before January 1, 2023.
The city realizes this interruption in taxi service will undoubtedly cause inconveniences for many
residents and businesses that rely on this valuable service.
