“Riding local public transportation gets you free entry to the Caterpillar Visitors Center in the month
of October. We are looking forward to our passengers having the opportunity to visit this great local

region and beyond. Community partnerships like this provide an added benefit to being a passenger
of the transportation services we offer.”

“The Caterpillar Visitors Center is not only a great source of family entertainment for our
community, but also a place where our youngest can dream big and see themselves as a future Cat
equipment operator or engineer. We pride ourselves on being an accessible resource for the people
of Peoria, and this community partnership with CityLink is another great way to accomplish that,”
