ELKHART, Ind. – The Michiana Area Council of Governments (MACOG) has announced a temporary suspension of the Interurban Trolley services in Elkhart and Goshen on Memorial Day. Both the fixed route service and the ADA Access service will not be operational on Monday, May 27, in observance of the holiday.

The temporary halt in services is a part of MACOG's efforts to observe national holidays and ensure that their staff can also participate in the day of remembrance. The Interurban Trolley, a vital part of the public transportation network in Elkhart and Goshen, plays a crucial role in daily commutes and accessibility for many residents.
