CircuitNR Expands Coverage

CircuitNR, New Rochelle’s complimentary, on-demand electric shuttle service, has expanded its service area. In addition to the popular routes in and around the downtown, the shuttle will now serve areas to the south and east, including the New Rochelle YMCA on Weyman Avenue and the Montefiore Cedar Street location.  And for those looking to enjoy the outdoors in the warmer weather, will offer rides to and from Hudson Park during the summer season, providing a convenient mode of transportation to the City’s popular park and beaches and Wednesday summer concert series. Changes were made in response to community rider feedback and became effective at the end of May.

Circuit Overview

Since launching almost two years ago, Circuit NR has been providing the service in downtown New Rochelle, which is in the middle of a game-changing redevelopment with over 30 construction projects across 12 million square feet of prime downtown real estate.  Over 60,000 vehicle miles have been saved through its 50,000+ trips to date, and no gasoline has been used.  In addition to reducing emissions, Circuit trips lead to less idling and additional convenience. 

During the height of the pandemic, Circuit also worked with the City, 511NYRideshare and Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital to develop a shuttle service with an expanded coverage area to carry visiting healthcare workers between the hospital and their hotel before and after their shifts, highlighting the adaptability of the service. Circuit NR recently received the Clean Air NY Champions Award from the New York State Department of Transportation for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create more sustainable, livable cities.
