Pace Celebrates
National Transportation Week

Pace Buses Serving the Elgin Transit Center

To recognize National Transportation Week, which runs from May 11-17, Pace is offering a number of programs and activities to thank current passengers, welcome those who are new to the system, and attract future riders.

Events include a “design your own car card” contest, encouraging riders to show their creative side and submit artwork about their favorite Pace destination. The winning poster will be displayed in all buses in the Pace system and the Pace website later this year, and the winner will receive a 30-day Pace/CTA pass. 

Transit Ambassadors are volunteering their time at transportation centers and other key boarding locations on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. They will be happy to answer questions or receive comments from passengers.

A drawing for ADA paratransit riders to receive passes for free rides will be held.

The Pace Rider Report, our newsletter for passengers, will be re-launched and available on board buses throughout the system.

A survey will be distributed to passengers and businesses that could benefit from the establishment of a proposed new bus route connecting Harvey and Rosemont.

The Student Summer Haul Pass, which provides unlimited rides on the Pace system for school-age children, will promoted.

Pace officials will participate in a regional discussion regarding the enhancement of ridership.
