Jule 'Nightrider' Evening Service to Begin September 21
DUBUQUE, Iowa –The Jule, Dubuque’s public transit system, will begin Friday and Saturday evening service starting September 21. This service, named The Nightrider, will operate Friday and Saturday evenings between 6 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. The Nightrider will provide service every 30 minutes from each campus to west-end and downtown shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Paratransit service is also available during the Nightrider hours of service but must be scheduled 24 hours in advance.
Clarke University, Loras College and University of Dubuque provide partial funding for this route, allowing college/university students free access to The Nightrider and all other Jule transit routes for the 2012-2013 school year by showing their school ID.
The Nightrider route is open to the public at the standard fare.
The Nightrider is also funded through the Iowa Clean Air Attainment Grant Program of the Iowa Department of Public Transportation.
Due to federal funding delays, the Nightrider start date has been moved from September 7, 2012 to September 21, 2012.
