Yellow Cab Co. will no longer be providing cab rides because the company felt it would not be able to fulfill enough of the demand, said Christa Pierce, the public relations manager at Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos and Newlin.

The Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos and Newlin law firm is working with ISU to provide this service as a part of its community service initiative, Janssen-Robinson said. The law firm’s website states the firm has a program called Community First.
