About the Past Oberlin eBus Program
The Oberlin eBus operated as a fixed route electric transit service covering the city of Oberlin from January through July 2025. The published schedule connected residential neighborhoods, the downtown business district, Oberlin College, grocery and retail destinations, medical offices, and community facilities. The service ran on a consistent daily schedule with designated stops throughout the city. All vehicles were 100% electric with zero tailpipe emissions, supporting Oberlin's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Riders tracked the bus in real time through the Slidr app to see exactly when it would arrive at their stop. The Oberlin eBus demonstrated how small cities and towns can provide modern, electric public transit through a turnkey partnership with Slidr.
