New Additions to Pace Express Service
Network Debut Nov.30
Three new express routes and enhanced service on an existing route will
provide relief for commuters that navigate some of the most congested highways
and tollways in the nation.
Pace Routes 655, 755, and 889 are all-new and will join expanded service
on Route 855 to comprise Pace’s Express Service Network. Each originates
at Park-n-Rides in the south and southwest suburbs to serve employment centers
in the north and northwest suburbs and Chicago.
Route 655 Bolingbrook – Schaumburg Express will operate weekday
rush hours between the Pace Bolingbrook Park-n-Ride on Old Chicago Drive
and the Pace Northwest Transportation Center in Schaumburg via I-355 with
intermediate stops in Downers Grove, Addison, and Itasca, with the latter
two offering Park-n-Ride lots.
Route 755 Plainfield – IMD Express will operate weekday rush hours
between a new Park-n-Ride lot adjacent to the Plainfield Village Hall and
the University of Illinois at Chicago via I-55 with intermediate stops at
the Pace Bolingbrook Park-n-Ride on Old Chicago Drive, the Ashland CTA,
and the Illinois Medical District.
Route 855 Plainfield – East Loop Express is an existing route
that will be expanded to operate select trips to and from the new Park-n-Ride
adjacent to the Plainfield Village Hall. The route also serves Pace Park-n-Ride
lots in Romeoville, Bolingbrook, and Burr Ridge, and travels to North Michigan
Avenue in downtown Chicago via I-55.
Route 889 Harvey/Blue Island – Rosemont Express will operate weekday
rush hours between the Harvey Transportation Center and the CTA Blue Line
Rosemont station via I-294 with courtesy stops in Harvey, Calumet Park,
Blue Island, and Alsip.
More information, including routing and timetables, are available on
the Express Service Network page.
