Circuit is bringing an affordable, electric micro-shuttle service to these communities to serve on-demand trips and bridge the first/last mile gap between transit stops and passenger destinations, with Long Island Railroad stations ranking among the most popular drop-off and pickup locations for riders.  

The micro-transit fleet consists of 100% battery-electric vehicles and utilizes mobile ride-request app technology supporting smart stops and rider-pooling functionality. The sustainable transit service is employing residents as shuttle drivers and providing publicly available EV charging hubs to increase local charging access.
