UI Ride assists Champaign residents with free WiFi access

CHAMPIGN, Ill. (WICS/WCCU) — The University of Illinois' UI Ride bus is now helping people who might not have internet access.

The bus made a stop today at the Shadowwood Mobile Home Park to provide families and students with WiFi and a place to get work done.

This is just one of four buses that are typically shuttling students and faculty from the Urbana-Champaign campus to the Chicago campus.

The bus will provide WiFi assistance to more surrounding areas in the near future.
