North Central Area Transit transportation services will be limited Tuesday, Jan. 16 to Ottawa, La Salle and Peru because of the extreme cold temperatures, the agency said in a Monday announcement.

NCAT also issued some winter travel reminders. Be sure to wear a coat, hat, gloves and appropriate shoes - all the itmes necessary to keep warm and dry. Have a path clear of snow or ice so you and/or NCAT drivers can safely get from the house to the bus. Plan for extra time because bus drivers will be moving cautiously. Be careful that sidewalks and bus floors may be slippery.
