Decatur Moves Completes 100 Rides on First Day of County-Wide Launch

Decatur, IL — Within the first day of its official launch, Decatur Moves already completed 100 rides, proving that Macon County residents are eager to embrace a new way of public transit.

Designed as a ride-share style service for everyone, from college students and commuters to families and older adults, Decatur Moves offers a simple, affordable way to get across town or across the county with handicap accessible vans. With just a few taps on the app or by booking online, riders can book a convenient ride anywhere in Macon County, urban or rural.

“This is exactly what Decatur Moves was designed to do—give our community a reliable ride option that expands beyond the fixed bus route,” said Lacie Elzy, Economic & Community Development Director. “Whether you’re heading to class, to work, to a medical appointment, or to meet friends, Decatur Moves means getting around Mt. Zion, Forsyth, Decatur, and rural Macon County much easier.”

Macon County Administrator Tamara Wilcox added:

“When I meet with leaders in our local townships, I hear repeatedly how excited people are that this service reaches all of Macon County! Decatur Moves isn’t just connecting residents to the city—it’s also linking communities like Forsyth and Mt. Zion. This county-wide approach is about strengthening connections and giving everyone, no matter where they live, access to reliable transportation.”
