New Rochelle is great! Truly! We have so much to offer. One appreciated service is CircuitNR which is a free shuttle service which can be utilized as follows:
New Rochelle is proud to present “CircuitNR,” a complimentary, on-demand electric shuttle service that transports riders along several routes in the downtown.
CircuitNR is available Monday through Thursday from 7AM-7PM, Friday from 7AM-10PM, Saturday between noon-10PM and Sunday from noon- 7PM. All vehicles have partitions between rows, are thoroughly cleaned three times per day, have open air options and individual doors for every rider. All drivers wear appropriate PPE’s and are tested regularly.
Riders can request an on-demand pickup anywhere in the shuttle coverage area by using the “Ride Circuit” App to alert a fleet driver to come pick you up. Alternatively, rides can be hailed by simply waving down the nearest CircuitNR driver if the vehicle has vacant seats.

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.
